Happy year one, Matty

Man I've been good at blogging the last little while. Better than I have been in months. But then again... I've had a lot of time on my hands these days. 

Plus I needed to blog today because today is a day that I have been looking forward to for a long time. Today is me and Matt's year anniversary! One year ago today I married the greatest man in the world. I know that everyone says that but honestly, there is no man out there that could ever be as perfect for me as my Matthew is. 

I never knew that I could love someone as much as I love him. Everyday I love him more than the day before.

This year has been the greatest year of my life. I have felt more happiness than I could ever have imagined. And if I ever do get sad, Matt is the best at making everything better. We have so much fun together. He makes me laugh harder than anyone. He loves me even when I don't deserved to be loved. I know that there is nothing that he wouldn't do for me and there is absolutely nothing that I wouldn't do for him. 

He is my everything and I can't picture a life without him. I'm glad that I don't have to. I get him forever. And that's the greatest blessing I could ever ask for.

People say that the first year is the hardest.

If this is the hardest year than we are in for a life of bliss.

Happy anniversary, sweetie. I look forward to many, many more. I love you so.

popped lung take 2

So if any of you read my blog a few months ago you would know that almost exactly 6 months ago Matt was in the hospital because he collapsed his right lung. He had what is called a spontaneous pneumothorax (if any of you have seen Just Like Heaven, you know what I'm talking about). It's basically a collection of air around the lung that puts enough pressure on the lung to collapse it. Usually when someone collapses a lung its because of some sort of puncture to the lung like a stab wound or a car accident. The first time it happened Matt was walking around on campus, who knew school could be so dangerous, huh? Anyway, apparently it is common in tall, skinny, young males. Everything that Matt is. So we spent 6 days in the hospital in December.

On Thursday Matt was at work (he works as a bank teller so nothing too crazy) and he felt the exact same pain as the first time except this time it was on his left side. So we went to my parent's house to get a blessing from my dad. We both felt very calm and felt like everything would be ok. So we didn't go to the hospital that night. The next morning though we both felt like we needed to get to the emergency room. So we did and basically we heard the exact same thing that we heard 6 months before.

It seriously broke my heart. My poor Matty. I hated seeing him go through it the first time and it sucks just as bad the second.

But if you know anything about Matt, you know that he can make people laugh even in the worst of times. We have done a couple photo shoots since he has been in the hospital that I think are hilarious. So I thought I would share.

P.S. Did I mention that we will be in the hospital over our year anniversary? Happy one year, huh? Ah well.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed those. I want to thank everyone who has brought us food or came to visit or  prayed for him. It means so much and we really appreciate it. Let's hope this doesn't happen again in another six months because then we will have a little boy to take care of! Cray-zay!

Pitts' fam dictionary part I

For the last 5 years Matt and I have had continuous friendly banter about some of the words in my vocabulary. He claims that I talk weird while I argue that the words I use are completely normal. It wasn't until a few weeks ago, when he started listing off some of my common words and phrases, that I realized he might be right. The Pitts kids do have a lingo of their own.

Matt's list inspired me to contact my siblings and put our heads together so that we could come up with a bunch of the most frequently spoken Pitts words. I compiled the list into it's own dictionary so that others, if exposed, can understand us.

Boot, n. No different than the real definition of boot, except its pronounced like foot.

Brewskies, n. Used in place of the name of any beverage.

Egyptian, n. A zit right between your eyebrows. Not meant as a racial allusion, it came about by mistaking the Indian culture with that of the Egyptians.

Ghetta, n. Used in the place of "ghetto."

Jncos, n. Used for pants or shorts or basically any article of clothing used to clothe the waist down.

Kee gas/keek, n. A creative substitute for flatulence related words.

Morning Breath, n. The stanky breath you wake up with every morning. (I'm pretty sure this is a real phrase but Matt didn't believe that it was so I thought I would include it for his sake). 

Scones, v. A replacement for the phrase "lets go".

Sinkins, n. The television show, the Simpsons.

Snaiksel, n. A nickname for my sister, Rachel.

Suis, v. Used in the place of the word suicide (pronounced "sue-ease").
