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!) :)

Fall time in the Burg

By
Our church building is right below the Rexburg Temple. A few weeks ago when we got out of church I looked up at the temple and saw all the gorgeous fall colors on the trees and bushes surrounding the temple. I told Kevin we HAD to go up and take pictures. We went home, changed and headed back up to the temple. We walked all around and I couldn't stop snapping picture after picture of the fall leaves! I decided that fall is my favorite season in Rexburg. It is just SO pretty. Our nice little Sunday stroll definitely helped remind of how blessed we all are to be on this amazing earth that was created for us!  Kevin pointed out this strange plant and was like, "Don't you want a picture of this?" Haha. So naturally I had to snap a quick picture. I love the temple! I am so grateful we live to close to it. Such a blessing!  I'm grateful for days and moments like this where I'm reminded how ble...

Fat Biking

By
Kevin didn't have class yesterday since it was a holiday and no one else on the maintenance crew was going to work so Kevin decided to take the day off as well. I decided to close my office for the day so we could spend some time together. (best decision EVER!) We had a REALLY fun active day. In the morning Kevin played basketball while I walked around the I-center track with my friend Janae. We were there for about an hour and a half so we both got some pretty good exercise. We lounged around for a couple hours after that and then around 2:30 we headed to go fat biking with a couple we've become really good friends with in our ward. I had seen the fat bikes at the ORC before but never thought I would ride one. They look like regular bikes except they have ginormous tires instead of little tires. The bikes are used to ride in the snow, sand, and anywhere else you want to but they make riding in snow a lot easier (and more fun). Here is a picture while we were waiting at...

Time for something new

By
The past few weeks have been interesting. I've been worrying more and felt overwhelmed about Kevin's schooling, finding jobs, being a burden to family, trying to decide where we really need to be right now, everything just felt like it was closing in on me. Kevin applied to a job at Best Buy and made it through the first and second interviews. We made the decision that if he didn't get the job we would move back to Laramie. Friday, December 16th, as we were driving an Elder down to Des Moines, we found out that Kevin did not get the job. In a moment that could have very well been so sad, discouraging and stressful all I felt was peace. My heart was so sad thinking about leaving Mason City but my shoulders and body felt like a weight had been lifted from them. I knew we needed to go to Laramie. So, we're moving to Laramie after Christmas! I've cried at least twice a day since Friday (I'm just a constant bawl baby these days!) My heart and mind are on a cons...
