PHACE

I found out yesterday that my baby nephew Henry has something called PHACE syndrome. It is a very rare disease and there are less than 1,000 people worldwide who have been diagnosed. It started with a red splotch on his forehead that spread to his right eyelid. It was diagnosed as a hemangioma and an MRI showed that he has an enlarged artery in his brain. Right now he only has a mild case and meets only two of the five criteria. It is just imperative a neurologist treats the brain issue and an ophthalmologist monitors his eyesight. I was really worried last night but I'm praying about his treatment. His doctor is positive his outlook is good. I will update!

Katie’s Wedding

Wesley and I went to Denver this past weekend for Katie's wedding. It was a great weekend with family. We flew in on Saturday morning and met up with my parents. We stayed at a really nice Martiott that used to be the Colorado National Bank. We got to look at all the really old bank vaults. We didn't get to see Katie. She cancelled the housewarming party because she and John were still recovering from Covid. On Sunday Wesley and I went to Meow Wolf with my dad and his fiance during the day. We then arrived at the wedding early for family photos. It was a short but very sweet ceremony before dinner and toasts. My dad gave a nice toast where he introduced our whole family including Leanna even though she wasn't there. On Monday Wesley and I went to the Denver Mint in the morning and went back to the hotel to say goodbye to my parents. We hung out with Katie at Union Station and ate at Snooze and went to the new Tattered Cover with her before our flight back to Boise. It was a great wedding weekend and I'm excited to have John as a brother-in-law. I only wish Katie and Leanna had gotten over their differences so Leanna could've been at the wedding. She was sorely missing.

Married Fights

Wesley and I had a little fight yesterday. It came on so suddenly and was a bit of a shock. I'm just learning how I can deal with problems with him and get back to normal afterward. I'm learning marriage isn't all romantic roses and fun, it's work too.

29th Birthday

I turned 29 on Thursday. I officially only have one more year left in my twenties. I certainly don't feel that old. This was such a special birthday because it was my first birthday being married. Wesley and I had such a good day. We got breakfast at Waffle Love and went to Zoo Boise. There were a lot more active animals than in March and we did the giraffe feeding! We then had dinner with Jared that evening. It was a great day. My dad was originally going to be in town but my cousin Christi passed away and my birthday was the same day as her funeral. She was so nice to me as a kid and her passing was so unfortunate.
