The Past Week

Well, this past week has been an adventure in life's "adventures". As Sarah has already said she has been sick with severe bronchitis or pneumonia. Its been rough with Sarah being sick, however she is now starting to get better which is great. Hopefully Sarah will be able to fully recover completely soon. Work has and is always an interesting time, currently we are understaffed and have finished another seminar week. Looking forward to things slowing down at work.

Pneumonia and Hypertension

On the 13th of September I was diagnosed with Pneumonia. When we were there my vitals were not very good. I have some major Hypertension. As I was beign treated for the Pneumonia, the Hypertension remained high. On Friday, I was officially diagnosed with Hypertension. This week I spent the week worried about my breathing and my blood pressure. Now I feel like a stressed out pill popper. I am looking forward to being able to get out of the house and get some exercise. Keith has been great in taking care of his sick wife, though the many doctor apointments and the couphing up a lung. I am greatful for his love and support.

One of these days Keith will post something on our blog... Yes Keith, this is to call you on reading and no comments :-)

Baptism and playing makeovers

Our Niece came over for the weekend and we were able to take her to the baptism of a boy in our ward. I was amazed at how all the kids ran up to the font as he entered with his father. All the kids (including Caty) all sat right up against the glass as he was baptized. When this young man was confirmed all the kids sat on the front row to watch. As we left Caty started making plans for her baptism that will be in the next year. I was touched by the impact this had on her. I am really thankful that this very mature young man welcomed us to attend his baptism. I love how one hour out of our lives has been able to leave


After the baptism we hung out and watched movies all afternoon. We also were able to play doing makeovers on each other. I got to teach Caty some tricks on being able to get out those annoying tangles that bring tears to the eyes. Then Caty got her turn to do my hair. Even though when we started my hair was damp, at the end it was saturated( I learned a great lesson to never give a 7 year old girl a spray bottle full of water). Her goal was to have my hair look just like Violet's hair off of the movie "The Incredibles" (I think it was more like "Cousin It")
together we decided that tomorrow we are going to do our hair the same for church. We get to get all dressed up, have our hair all done nice.

I wonder what things we will come up with next month to do.

Life and Organization

Life has been crazy busy the last few weeks. As Keith is getting over a virus and I am nursing my injured tendon. we have been working on getting more organized in the house. This past weekend we moved around furniture in the kitchen and living room, this next week We are doing the same in the bedroom. I am working on ways to get the house to run more smoothly and to cut back on the amount of housework. I just wish there was a way to keep your house from never getting dirty.

I am starting to look to go back to work. I am just getting to the point where I cant take sitting around the house. As soon as I can walk around pain free, I am going to go back to work. Part time or full, I need to get out and do more then clean house.

This weekend we have our niece Caty for the weekend. We will make sure we take tons of photos and post them to the blog at the end of the weekend.
