Hettinger Happenings

I am finally feeling a little more like my old self. I lost 13-18 lbs. since the surgery depending on what scale I am on. Yeah - so happy to be feeling a little better!!

Why Jessi!!!! She was the best one there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POkNEC1Vj50 check out her dance.... it was beautiful (and she didn't even know how to do the Watlz before this)

My surgery for gastric bypass was Monday. The surgery itself went very well, so I am told. The doctors and nurses were fantastic. I was so glad to come home to my own family. The next two days were awful for me. I felt so nausea and lightheaded. I feared I was becoming dehydrated because I just couldn't get anything down. Then I asked for a blessing from Jake and Bill and immediately I was better. The nausea has subsided and I look forward to this new journey. Thanks to all of you for your support.

Jake and I made it acoss the country, and had so much fun along the way. Getting to Utah wasn't the easiest thing as I made sure to leave Maryland at 1pm to make it to Newark for my 8:30pm flight just to watch the flight delayed twice pushing it back two hours. And not that a delayed flight is all that bad, but by the time I had arrived into Las Vegas, my connecting flight to Utah had already left, and I had to spend the night on the not so comfy airport seats. The next morning I had to take a flight to Arizonia, and then take another connecting flight into Salt Lake. Man..next time I'll just pay the extra for a non stop! But i got into SLC, and drove myself up to Logan. I got to spend a little time in that little town that I truely love soooo much. I love the places jess and i ate and worked, and lived and played, and shopped, and it was my time to finally say goodbye to it all. My graduation weekend was so rushed, and i didnt have time to just enjoy Logan once more. So...tha...

Tonight is a 70's dance at church and dear old dad is the DJ. And guess what, he got an afro wig and a white suit! How funny is that. He is all excited -- I'll put sure to post pictures!

Here is a clip of a video of Paul Potts, cell phone repairman in England, auditioning for Britain's Got Talent. Dad saw this on Good Morning America and cried like a baby!!! I got tinkling goose bumps all over. It's is simply amazing!! Bound to give you a smile!

So I was thinking that around Thanksgiving of next year I might be dying to go to Disney. Anyone else??? Denise is going in 2 weeks and she's got me craving it. Denise went to a travel agent last year, arranged her trip, made a deposit and has it paying it off all year. Now all set to go. Good Idea right. They are renting a cabin in the campgrounds of Disney, which is pretty nice. Anyway - we have almost 1 1/2 years to save!!
