Wow....I suck

I cant believe I haven't written since....forever! What the heck Ashleigh? Yeah I know I suck....there really just hasn't been much worth writing about ya know? Welp, lately I have just been going to work and coming home and cooking dinner and stuff and then going to bed. Pretty uneventful haha.  Well, I guess we did move so I could have written about that.  But the couch and entertainment center we ordered wont be here until this Saturday, and I didn't want to take pictures or anything until the new apartment is all ready!

Robs got an internship with the business department at Sprint for the summer. This is HUGE for him! The hard work at Sprint over the past 3 1/2 years (that is a LONG time to be selling cell phones and dealing with angry customers, poor guy) has finally paid off.  The internship will be paying him more than he earns now, will be only monday-friday, (I get to spend the weekends with him! no more crazy retail schedules!) and if all ends up well, he could get a job at the business department.  This will be such a huge step for his career, and will definitely look stunning on his already awesome resume for grad school.  I am so excited to have a husband who will have saturdays off with me! That means we can go to the lake, camp, hike, and do whatever we want every single weekend. This summer will be amazing and I seriously can't wait!!!

Other than that, my parents came down over conference weekend and it was soooooo good to see them. I thought I was going to lose my mind without seeing any Perkins' in a while.  I need my family to keep me in check and make sure I still have that crazy Perkins' sense of humor and fun.  Holy cow the older I get, the more I realize I am my dad in a woman's body haha. I love it. I love my family so much and it was great to see them.  We didn't do anything too exciting, just laid around, relaxed, hung out, you know....just stuff.  But thats all I really wanted to do anyway.

The more I write, the more I realize I really DO have a lot of things to update on haha. Mah bad.

I have some cysts on my ovaries.  I knew something was up when this last period left me wrenched (is that a word? It sounds pretty good...) over in such excruciating pain that I couldn't even stand up.  I called my gyno and he had me come in on the last day of my P.  They did this crazy ultrasound. let me just stop right here and tell you about this ultrasound.   So whenever someone says "ultrasound" I think of that cool thing the rub on women's pregnant bellies.  No thats not what happened to me.  The doctor told me that he wanted to do an ultrasound when I told him about my symptoms and he said they had to sick it up my vag. (He didn't use quite the wording I just used....) Haha I thought he was kidding! No way Jose he came in the room with this crazy stick thing and sure enough he stuck it up there! HELLLLLO! Yeah that hurt pretty bad. But thats the kind of ultrasound thingy they used on me.  Sure enough, I have 4 or so cysts on my left ovary and  5 or 6 on my right.  No wonder I was in so much pain holy cow Chester!  But let me just tell you that period I had was soooo painful.  I have never been so bloated.  I have never felt so swollen.  My insides felt so swollen that any pressure on my abdomen at all killllllled man! Everything was so swollen that I couldn't even put a tampon up there because it was so......swolllen. That was a very graphic depiction of my last period but I wanted you to know.  Anywho...he gave me some birth control which SHOULD shrink them, (and also makes me sick as a dog and crazzzzzzy) but said that if it is still bad next month, to call and he'll prescribe some pain pills.  I am really nervous for next month...I really hope it doesnt happen again!  If those cysts don't go away or they get bigger, they will have to surgically remove them.


Soooo thats life right now.  Oh wait? Did I tell you we bought a car?  Its a Toyota Avalon and I love it!


Sorry that took forever.  I had to write per Lacey's request.  Turns out I had a lot more to say than I thought! My life just seems so boring until I take the time to sit down and disect it.

Ok bye!
