The results are in.....

...and i have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease




It is definitely going to suck living gluten free for the rest of my life, but it sure is nice to not have my stomach hurt everyday.

The things i am going to miss most....

* normal full of gluten Brownies
* Paradise Bakery Cookies
* Gravy
* Cafe Rio (i don't know if i really can't have it or not yet, but i am pretty upset about it)

There are alot more, but there are alot of good alternatives.

I have to go to a Gastroenterologist in the next couple weeks and i will most likely have to get an endoscope, then they will do a biopsy on my intestines to see how much damage I caused myself. On a website it said that it could take up to 2 years for my intestines to fully heal themselves, but the good news is that they can be fully healed!

I have lots of pictures i need to post, but no time to do it.

I was playing with this program called Photoshop LightRoom. It is so cool. I want it. But here is a few of my pictures i played with in lightroom. I will try to get the other unedited ones up soon!

August and September Birthdays!

I have been slacking on my blogging, sorry.



Maggie Jo Christiansen turned 1 year old on August 12th. We had a party for her on Saturday the 9th.

They had a little pool and elmo sprinkler for the kids.

With a little help from her Uncle Dave, Maggie loved the water!

She is just so dang cute and I can't believe she is 1 already!

My brother Travis turned 34 on August 26th. And said he wanted to have a mustache party for his birthday and so i surprised the family with fake mustaches for everyone to wear!


My brother in law Tim turned 30 on September 3rd, and Collette threw him a surprise party on Saturday the 6th. I didn't do real well at taking pictures that day, sorry.




Happy Birthday Maggie, Travis and Tim! I love all of you guys so much!

Our Trip to the Zoo

The Monkeys



This is one of the singing monkeys, i haven't heard them sing in a long time. But they were one of my mom's favorite animals at the zoo so i had to take a picture!

Noah stuck his head in a lions mouth!


The Elephants!



I love Rhinos




The bears weren't doing anything until everyone but Maggie and I left. And so Maggie and I were the only ones who saw the bears wrestling!

I love Zebras too!

The penguins were so cute, Only one was swimming in the water the rest were just chilling by the side. I liked this one the most!



The Giraffes! My Favorite picture of the day!
Turtle!

The new carousel at the zoo! You can ride almost every kind of animal even some that Collette and I thought might be imaginary!


Waiting for the Train!!


It was a very fun day at the zoo!
