Hospital Shmospital…..I want some soup!

For the past few days I haven’t felt the best……headache, light-headed, dizziness, nausea (you get the point). Well, I tried to cover it up because Geoff is a worry-wart and, plus, I leave Thursday. I refuse to be sick on my last few days in Chicago. He quickly noticed that I wasn’t feeling well. I guess the stumbling every time I got up to catch my balance gave it away. After I realized that I am not as sly as I thought, I did what any girl would do…....

I sent him this picture of me saying I felt awful, which by day 3 I really did. I did this hoping to get a backruband some homemade soup (mmmmmmm, how I love his red-pepper soup). Just when I think I’m about to get some of that delicious soup when he gets off work, I start to feel really, really bad—so bad that I can’t stand up without falling over. I lay back down and thought....stinky karma, I just wanted a backrub and some soup (did I mention it also has crab in it….yum!).

After I finally stopped day dreaming about the soup, I realized that I needed to go to the doctor to try and figure out what was wrong with me. I knew that if I didn’t let Geoff know that he would be upset…but I didn’t want to worry him. I sent him a text about eating a sandwich for lunch and casually tried to mention that I was running by the hospital because I wasn’t feeling any better. He immediately called me and could tell in my voice I felt awful even though I said I was fine. It then hit me…..if I can’t stand, how can I drive myself to the hospital? I had to fess up and tell him how bad I felt….he rushed home to take me the doctor.

He was really cute at the hospital…so concerned about me. He reminded me so much of my dad….I love that. He was not amused by me thinking he was adorable and taking pictures of him while I was lying on the table. He was so intense…..

The doctors were able to rule a lot of things out and let us know they didn’t think it was very serious. This is where I lost Geoff to a National Geographic…

They did a lot of different tests, and to go ahead and put it out there--I am NOT pregnant! That seemed to be the thought of everyone except us. But I repeat,

I

Am

NOT

Pregnant.

They did determine that I was dehydrated and had a viral infection that I had to let it run its course….YUCK!! This isn’t how I wanted to spend my last couple of days with my husband, but what can you do. I’m thankful it wasn’t anything serious and that I have so many people who care about me. But…….I’m still crossing my fingers for some yummy soup :)

Fat Booth

Davis, my brother-in-law, has discovered a new application on his phone called “Fat-Booth”. I will get back to “Fat-Booth” in a second…..but I would be remiss if I didn’t say how crazy technology is. Although I have a Blackberry, I have no idea what it is capable of doing. I make phone calls, send texts, and can check a few things on the internet. I thought I was something else when I started blackberry messenger, little did I know that everyone else was doing it months (probably years) ago. My 5-year old nephew Freddie knows more about the I-phone than I do and will say “Oh, Kelly…” and laugh at me when I try to operate it. There is nothing more humbling than having a 5-year old make fun of you....and be justified in doing so. 


Anyways, back to “Fat-Booth”…..It started off with funny pictures of Kristen, Davis, and the kids. Then led to pictures of Geoff and I…ha ha.

I think Geoff still looks pretty cute :)

On the other hand, I am reminded that I must stop eating all his yummy food and get back to the gym. Well, maybe half of that is true….I didn’t marry a chef to eat my own cooking :) After our pictures, came Kara and Matt’s pictures….Kara’s brought me back to 8 years ago (as Geoff in the most endearing and loving way refers to her “Kirstie Alley Days”).

Matt's picture looked like the guy from Family Guy.

Anyways, we had some fun with this application…thanks to Kara and Matt for being good sports and allowing me to share these beautiful pictures :)

Evidently they have one that will make you look old too. Since my 30th birthday is just around the corner I think I will hold off on that application.

Welcome to our Blog!!

Hi Everyone! As many of you know, Geoff and I were married on June 12th. Right now, we are doing things a little different…….We live 763.24 miles apart (yes, I’m a dork and map-quested it). Most people know why we have to do that right now, and it stinks! For those of you who don’t know, I’m sorry I just can’t write all about it right now :) We get to see each other often thanks to cheap flights, frequent flyers, and some very generous family members :) We can’t wait to be together all the time, but for the time being we are just enjoying our time together as newlyweds. Thank goodness for technology, I don’t know what we would do without Skype :)


Anyways, the whole idea of a blog stresses me out A LOT!! Some of my friends have blogs and have sold me on the positives…..so yes folks, I fell into peer pressure. Ha ha. To be honest, once I was told you could make a blog book I was sold! I love the idea of having our memories captured in a book.

I need to apologize in advance for many things, but here is just a few to point out….

-I write like l think…..very sporadic, not grammatically correct, and with a lot of …..’s

-I love picture of my family and friends and will probably post way too many!

-There is no theme to our blog….so there is no telling what Geoff or I am going to write about (yes honey, you will be writing some too-ha ha….. Love ya ;) )

Ok, that’s enough apologies for now. I hope our blog will help convince some of my other family and friends to start a blog too. Ha ha . That’s all for now……..
