Happy freakin birthday sweetie!!!! I'm sorry you weren't feeling good on your birthday, but we will make up for it sometime soon! Happy Monday all. First off I have to say that being sick sucks and I hope I don't have to be sick for a long time. It's now going on over 2 weeks for us and we are still not recuperated completely. What started off as a sucky flu turned into bronchitis for me and a sinus infection for Hannah. and probably bronchitis for ry, but he hasn't gone to the doctor yet. But at least we are on antibiotics which should hopefully wipe it out. Each day is getting a little better at least. Hannah no longer has caked on snot all over her face anymore in the mornings, so that's good for both of us. i kind of wish i would have taken a picture, because it was so sad yet so funny to see her still smiling with all that over her. as i had mentioned to a couple of folks i really struggled with being mad at God for a few days because of this, because i prayed and prayed that hannah wouldn't get it and now she's been sick for almost 2 weeks. i kept thinking there was no reason why she needed to get sick and that God had the power to make sure it didn't happen. But then I finally realized that God is God and He has his reasons for somtimes intervening and sometimes not. We unfortunately live in a yucky world where sometimes yucky things happen and unfortunately man has brought it on ourselves because we have misused the wonderful gift of freewill. so i'm at peace again and i'm sorry God for doubting you.
ok i'm done whining now. this weekend was really relaxing since we are under quarantine by our friends and can't see anyone. we did get out of the house on friday night since our whole house was filled with smoke. apparently ryan learned that there is a switch on the fireplace where you can use the outside air to fuel the fire as opposed to the inside air so it won't suck all the heat from the house. well ryan also learned that you don't set it to that until after the fire is going. he started the fire and this huge flame burst from the fireplace and then all of sudden smoke just started filling the place. i was in the middle of feeding hannah on the couch and then all of sudden the smoke detectors went off. and i guess the new safety thing in houses is for all the smoke detectors to be connected so when one goes off they all go off. i needed to move hannah to another room to get away from the smoke but everyroom had a detector and it was the most obnoxious sound. so i had to go into the guest room closet and shut the door to finish feeding hannah. it was kind of a funny picture afterwards thinking about it, but not at the time.
other than that we vegged and watched football and at night we would pull the sofa bed out and watch movies. since we got so many good ones for christmas we decided not to even go out and rent any so we watched clueless one night and shawshank redemption the other. yesterday was ry's birthday and since we weren't feeling 100% yet he didn't want to waste a night out, so we had cheese fondue and chocolate fondue for dessert. it was quite yummy. we watched the people's choice awards last night. did anyone else see them? is Jim Carey a christian? i thought i had heard that he became one. his speech was funny. i couldn't tell if he was making fun of christians or using his humor to get God's name out there. for those who didn't see it, he accepted the award for Bruce Almighty and at one point said "i'm excited to hear that all of hollywood has accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior." but then later on as he was talking to some of the "people" who voted for the award, he said in somewhat of a humorous tone, yet somewhat serious, "God has loved me through you people for years". anyhoo, just thought it was interesting, yet pretty cool if he is a christian.
i've actually been getting some work done which is good for me. so far this month i have worked about 5 hours! which is more than i worked in all of december which totalled .75 hours. pretty sad i know. ryan's parents are coming this weekend. i'm looking forward to that because it's always nice to see mom and dad and it will get us motivated to finally get this place in order.
i have to share a quote that made me laugh, even though it was not a funny situation. it was from my wonderful sister-in-law tracey...as i was chatting with her this weekend she was telling me about her poopy run where her knee started hurting and then she was getting a migraine on her way home. that part completely stinks, but what kept making me chuckle this weekend was remembering her saying, "mmm, why doesn't that dog have a head?"
well time to get some work done. good luck with your job hunting this week matt and with your training tracey. i said a prayer for both of you.
peace!
