My Week as a Tissue Hoarder

By
A week ago I woke up feeling a little under the weather...I watched a super cute hallmark movie with Dad Fox and periodically I'd take my temperature and slowly but surely it kept getting higher. I was hoping that I really wasn't sick but by the end of the day I had a high fever, insane headache, sinus congestion and my chest was super congested. The flu/cold/whatever this crap is that has been going around the family for the last MONTH finally hit me. 

Oh my heck this sickness kicked my trash and put me right on my back. The last week has been ridiculous. I literally stayed in bed all day everyday until last night when I went to Walmart with Kevin to get some more cough drops. Thank goodness for Netflix and amazing family...oh and for tissues. I told Anna that I became a tissue hoarder because I had so many next to my bed. It took three grocery sacks to clear out my tissues used over about three days. So gross. 
Today I finally woke up feeling more like myself. I still have some sinus congestion and a cough but my fever is just low grade and I can walk to the bathroom without feeling like I'm going to pass out. WOO HOO! Haha. :) I haven't been this sick in a long, long time. I'm hoping that I've hit my quota of sickness for the year. Fingers crossed. 

Kevin has been a saint in helping take care of me and he's sick too! The last two days we've spent watching Parks and Rec (not the wisest choice because it makes us laugh so hard and then we cough and then we laugh more and then cough more...a vicious cycle) and taking turns on who gets up to get more gatorade and medicine (90% of the time its Kevin that gets everything). We're quite the pair. :) 

(This picture is from early last week...I got some new pajamas so now we're Batman and Wonder Woman. I love us. :) )

Its ridiculous how sick everyone in the house has been since the new year started. After a month and a half of strep, sinus problems, ear infections, flus and colds we are all more than ready for a period of a healthy, happy house! 

I'm hoping the rest of February turns into a very healthy and productive month. (compared to my week of sleeping/netflix watching ANYTHING is going to be more productive!) :)

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...
