Mike gets the Swine Flu!

It happened! I was terrified of this moment!! I have become obsessive complusive because of the fear I have of this virus coming into our home, but on Sunday October 11th...it defeated us!

I didn't believe Mike for the 1st couple of days, but he finally went to the Doctor on Tuesday..and it was confirmed. For Mike to go to the Doctor really meant something was diffently wrong. I have never seen him like this..and never want to again. All he could do was lay in bed..he would go from freezing to sweating over and over again. He kept a fever of 102 for almost 4 days. He lost 8 pounds and had no appetite at all. His fever finally broke on Thursday, but he still not feeling great.

Luckily none of us girls have shown symptoms, so hopefully it will just pass us by. I have scheduled for us all to get flu shots on Wednesday!

Jennifer and Justin August 22, 2009

My sister, Jennifer and her Husband Justin Redmon got married on August 17th 2009. Here are some photos from their wedding reception.

Orlando Vacation and 6 year Anniversary

At the beginning of this month we went down to the Brown's Florida home for a much needed vacation. My mom and sister joined us. We all needed it. Jennifer got married at the end of August... 2 days later my grandmother passed away and 2 weeks after that my grandfather followed. We had been going through a rough patch and needed a time out. This vacation was such a blessing!

While we were there, Mike and I celebrated our 6th year wedding anniversary. We spent the day in St. Augustine, Florida getting a couples massage, taking a sunset sailboat ride, and then going out for a nice dinner. It was perfect!


We took a little trip with our girls to Wonder Works. They loved it!! It was kind of like a little interactive science museum. I highly recommend it.










Mike did a little fishing...but other than that we didn't get out much.
The Browns home is so comfortable and it takes a lot of will power to get up and go once you get settled in. Thanks for letting us stay there again. ")
