Hard Times....

As most of you probably know, we have had a very hard past few days...Friday afternoon, Aarons dad was killed in a head on car accident. He has not taken it very well (as can be expected). Saturday he started passing out, having seizure like episodes, and zoning out to where he couldnt stop what he was doing (which caused him to run into the wall, etc) Needless to say, I was VERY worried and basically did not sleep a wink friday saturday sunday monday or tuesday nights. Spent the nights trying to talk to him, checking on him to make sure he was still breathing, and crying with him. I dont think anyone can understand the pain you go through seeing the one you love hurting so bad. I took him to the doctor on Monday morning and the doctor said he thought he was having a conversion reaction causing the seizure like activity, so they did blood work to make sure it wasnt seizures and it came back normal. They decided to do a EKG to make sure everything was ok with his heart. During the EKG his heart rate dropped very low which concerned the doctor because in his condition his heart rate should of been 100 or above and it was 50. The doctor thought he could have a heart block which is an electrical issue with his heart and wanted a monitor put on for 24 hours to check. He said that right now money could not be an issue because we HAD to get the test done because it could be extremely serious if it was not taken care of. I had a lot of people telling me NOT to get the test because it was probably just stress but I will not take that risk with his life. He is much more important to me than $1500!!!
The funeral was a very hard day but I think it helped in a way. Aaron has done a lot better since then. Its going to be very hard these next several months, but we will make it through. I know a lot of people have prayed for Aaron and I and we appreciate it SO MUCH! Aaron told me the moment he found out about his dad the first thing he said was Jesus Im going to need your help. It means so much to me to have such a strong husband. I am SO thankful! I know we all have our faults hehe but everyone does. Keep us in your prayers expecially for the wedding coming up. because it is going to be very difficult without Rick.

As of today...

FIRST OF ALL...i KNOW "I" am not a Coursey YET! but i will be soon!!! Let me start from the beginning...Aaron took me to Puerto Rico for a week for our one year anniversary!!! we stayed in an AMAZING hotel built by Spainards out of solid marble!! We went to Old San Juan and toured the forts from the 1500s (i believe i got the date right) went to the Bacardi Factory, and toured the Rainforest (AMAZING!!) I would love to share pictures...but our camera was stolen or lost on the way home and we lost all but the pictures from the last 2 days (very sad...we had several hundred...i cried...a lot) BUT the best part happened the last night we were there!! April 26th Aaron and I walked to the beach to watch the sun set and sat on a big rock...he started telling me he loved me and wondered if I could put up with him forever and said he couldnt give me a big ring...I made a joke and we kept talking...then he got down on his knee in front of me *GASP* and gave me a HUG??? *confused* and reached behind me, got the ring, opened the box and looked at me....I FREAKED OUT and started asking if he was sure and if he was joking (like he would be joking haha) and he said do you want to put the ring on? i said well...do i?? he looked at me blankly and i said why would i?? and he said OH, ya...will you marry me?? so...of course I said YES!! so... July 25, 2009 I will officially be Mrs Coursey!!

The wedding plans are coming along nicely and most of the stressful planning part is over FINALLY!!! Mom and I are stuffing envelopes tomorrow, and the invitations will officially be DONE!!! My first shower is this weekend and our couples shower is next!! We got registered at Kohls and Walmart FINALLY!!!


As most of you already know...we originally planned on getting married in September...well a few days/weeks (im not for sure) after we got back from Puerto Rico I decided to take a random pregnancy test (not even worried because my thyroid was messed up due to a MAJOR overdose, thanks to my doctor, which causes infertitlity and WIERDED OUT my cycle and several other reasons I wont go in to!!) well it was positive....and I was sure I was dying because I didnt see how i could get pregnant!! so i took another...digital this time...still positive...went to the dr got positive pee AND blood test...still not convinced!! since we had no idea how far along I could be due to my female problems...we got a sonogram (going in i was SURE they were going to laugh and say no baby) but we went in and there it was!! My Lil Peanut =) heart beating away!!!! So...we decided to move the wedding to July!! Everyone is very excited!!! this will be the first grand baby!!!!!!!!!! It is Due December 30th... We are not finding out if it is a boy or a girl so we can have a BIG SURPRISE!! Morning sickness was pretty bad but I am doing much better now!!!


We will be moving out of our house that we are renting with my brother and two other people and getting our own place!! We were approved today for an apartment and will be moving July 18th!! Hopefully things go smoothly and we get moved in BEFORE the wedding...needless to say...June and July are going to be PRETTY STRESSFUL! but over all very good!!
