Christmas Part 3: Headaches, chills and sore throats oh my!

By
By the time we got back to Blackfoot from Boise on Sunday I felt SO sick. My glands were swollen, my head hurt, my throat hurt, I had the chills. UGH. It was ridiculous. We got to my parents house, I changed into PJ's and I laid on the couch the rest of the time. Kevin and my Dad gave me a blessing and I was able to sleep better than I had the night before. 

We had planned to go to Idaho Falls and Rexburg on Monday to visit friends but I was feeling so sick that Kevin just went up by himself. I was so sad. :( I literally laid on the couch all day long. I'm so grateful that I had my family there to take care of me so I didn't have to move. 

Even though I couldn't get off the couch the kids still made sure to keep me company... :)
I took a shower and after I got out I went to put something away and came back to the bathroom to this little gal sitting in the tub! Crazy girl. :)
She obviously claimed the candy bowl...

Tuesday we woke up and decided we should still head back to Laramie like we originally planned so we could caravan with Andrew and Anna. Kayleen and Jackson rode in our car with us. It ended up snowing a TON in Blackfoot over the next few days so it was a good thing we left when we did or we would have had to travel in horrible conditions. 

You'd think after so many years of being used to saying goodbye after holidays it would get easier? Nope. I always cry. :) Haha. I love my family so much and loved getting to spend time with them. (even though I was sick!)
Even though my sweet mama is so sad in this picture I love that they came and waved even though it was so cold outside. That is true love. :)

The drive back...
I was drinking a lot of water to try and help my throat so I had to stop more than usual. I'm grateful for a patient husband and for patient family as we traveled. It was fun to be able to caravan with Andrew and Anna.

We got back to Laramie Tuesday evening and unfortunately the sickness started to spread! :( Andrew got sick, Kiera got sick, Anna got sick...it just wouldn't end! So lame.

Luckily we were still able to enjoy the few days we had in Laramie all together. :)

Third Time's the Charm..Maybe...

By
Last week as I sat down to go through some emails I remembered this old blog and got sucked into reading through past posts. I smiled, cried and laughed as I read through my memories over the last 4 years. :) It was crazy to read through and think about how much has changed over the years and how much Kevin and I have experienced together in the 6 years we've been married. My last post was from March of last year after a visit to Iowa. I could kick myself for not keeping up with this blog because last year was packed full of some of the greatest and hardest experiences of my life. Highlights from over the past 18 months: -We had a graduation party in Idaho for Kevin April 2017 and he officially graduated the following July! It felt so good for him to finally be done. He worked SO HARD and overcame some major obstacles and set backs.  -After Kevin walked in April we did a big trip to Utah and Iowa with Shawnii after watching her graduate with her Masters in Communication Disor...

Mid-Week Happenings/Ramblings

By
This week has gone by sooo slow. I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday. Rude. Anyways...Here's some random happenings/ramblings from the past week or so... Kevin is anti anything Christmas before Thanksgiving...I'm the complete opposite. We've compromised. I can listen to Christmas music but cant hang any decorations (my pinecone and snowflake garlands don't count) until the Monday before Thanksgiving. I can live with those stipulations.  We made a goal with our friend G to not eat out at all this week (we may or may not have an addiction to midnight runs to McDonalds). We've survived so far.  Last night we finally watched the movie, "The Fault in Our Stars". Holy hannah. Ugly face cry the whole time people. It was so sad but so worth it, minus the random f-bomb.  I attempted to make homemade french fries for dinner this week...oh deary...Lets just say I wont be using that particular recipe again...or attempting to make fries again a...

Sum of September

By
My goodness its already October! September was a fabulous, crazy, busy, wonderful month. First up a visit to Idaho... A ll my siblings surprised my parents the second weekend of Sept as an early birthday present for my mom's 60th birthday! We were missing Kevin and Arianna's husband and kids but the rest of us were able to go. My parents were so shocked and my mom cried and cried she was so happy to see us all. It was the best present we've ever given her. :)  It was a laid back weekend just spending time together. We went to a Gentri concert Saturday night,  church Sunday, my mom loves having people to sit with so we made sure to visit on a weekend so we could all sit with her, Danny and Melissa's family left Sunday after dinner, Monday we had a little day of shopping and relaxing at home, and then Tuesday Shawnii, Arianna and I all headed home.  GETTING TO DRIVE LARRY HOME FROM CHURCH!!!  The day after I got back from Idaho I st...
