Tag: Catching Up

Back to Blogging

Leave a comment

When I originally started our blog, it wasn’t to attract a crowd or following outside of family and friends. Instead my plan was to document our adventures as a family so that my children could hopefully look back on them and read about everything that we have done together.

Over time, life became busy and I fell behind. I wanted to stop and try to catch up (which I have been doing slowly) but then I realized that all of the current things we were doing were being neglected. So I then fell further behind. So starting from the beginning of 2016, I will update with our most recent adventures as well as catch up where we left off. So our blog is back! I hope we haven’t lost too many family and friends but please come back and check in. Our new posts and posts from the past that I have updated!

Its going to be a great year with a lot of adventures!

Very Behind…

Leave a comment

Greetings Blog Readers!

I know… I am behind. Very behind. I promise that the blog will be updated very soon but I became side tracked with another project. I realized that while I have been keeping a record and a log of our family over the last 4 and a half years or so, I was very behind on my photo albums. So, I started the process and it has been a bit more demanding then I thought it would be.

I am a stickler for dates and keeping things in order so it has been a task keeping things straight. Over the recent years I have been good about putting dates on every group of photos and making sure that the date stamp from the camera is accurate. With that being said, the photographs I have dating back to Abby’s birth until she turned 2 have scattered dates. Its been a process but I am getting there. Currently all photos from Abby’s birth in 2008 up to our trip to Montana in April of 2010 are printed and in albums. I have now gone back and looked up all the dates that I can. I just need to write the notes for these pictures into the albums and then I will start printing more and hopefully be caught up soon. Once that happens I can keep up with these things and life wont be so nutty.

After that my next projects will be to make their scrapbooks with all of their special events and milestones in them. I also need to finish our wedding and honeymoon albums and then my photos from when we were dating and before that. Yeah, its bad. This coming from the girl who just finished getting her wedding album chosen and put together by our photographer. By our 6th anniversary we should have our professionally done album! Yeah, life has been busy over the last 6 years but I know it will feel great once these things are complete!

Waiting to Inhale… Through My Nose.

Leave a comment
For as long as I can remember I have suffered from horrible allergy and sinus problems. And when I say suffer, I mean it. After a while I just dealt with it and did what I could to manage the issues. Finally Shaun made me an appointment with an ENT that came recommended to him and the rest is history.
It was discovered that I had a badly deviated septum on my left side, blocking 95% of my sinus passage and polyps on the right blocking nearly 80% of my sinus passage. The only course of action at this point was surgery. So after a CT scan, some blood work and some fighting with our insurance over the absurd, I was scheduled for surgery. On December 5th I went in for outpatient surgery to have the septum repaired, the polyps removed and my sinuses roto rootered. Surgery went very well and even discovered a large cyst in the sinus behind my eye which was removed and biopsied. Its not cancerous, thank goodness but it probably explained the sharp pain in my eye when my sinuses were very full, which was often.
I am recovering well and the swelling is pretty minimal. I had to wear a funny little nose sling filled with gauze as my nose would bleed consistently but that has stopped and I am free of it. There are drainage tubes inside my nose, which creates most of the swelling that you can see. Those should be removed this week on Tuesday! Even though I am not supposed to breathe through my nose, I can feel a difference already. Cant wait to get the tubes out and see what happens!

Did it again…

Yes, despite my promises I have neglected the blog again. I have been working on some things, mostly sorting out the pictures I have and those that my dad gave me from our trip to Montana, but I promise to update soon. My hope is to catch up within the next week or so that way I can start a few changes to the blog. Dont worry, nothing too big! I just want to add more of my own thoughts,ideas and ramblings on top of all the adventures and wonderful things the Wharton Family are up to. I am also thinking about making the blog private. I will see about that and I promise to make the transition as easy as possible, if I decide to do so. If anything it will be more of a hassle for all of you then for me, so I may just leave it public. Off to bed now, but there will be updates soon!

Blog Issues

Greetings One and All!

I have all these wonderful posts just waiting to share with all of you, but I am having some issues with the blog. At first it was just posts with pictures and video but now it seems to be anything I have worked on before today, which includes all of my Giving Thanks posts. The issue is being worked on and I should have everything resolved and posted within the next few days. Until then, take a trip down memory lane by using the archive links in the side tool bar. You can even go back to when this blog started! Hope you enjoy and I should have new items up soon!
