Love is in the air.... and germs?

Hello world! I have been quite absent about blogging for the past cough*year*cough, and I am back and better than ever :D I WILL catch every one up on our new life here in El Paso, my crazy new callings, and our cute adorable house, blah blah blah.... But for now, I am jumping on the love train and going with the flow!


Since today is obviously the second of Feb, I will tell you of two things :) One love, and one hate. Now, don't get your panties in a wad over that icky word, or the fact that it's the opposite of what this month is all about. After I tell you about my experience with this "thing" you will find you are hating it right along with me. :) Promise.


I hate being SICK! ALL. THE. TIME. We have lived here about 6 weeks now and I have only been healthy for about 2 of those weeks. I have made a body indentation on my couch. I have watched 3 seasons of Law and Order: SVU. I have gone through 2 bottles of Nyquil, one bottle of Dayquil, and one HUGE bag of cough drops. I have rubbed Vics Vaporub on my chest countless times. I have filled 2 trash cans with tissues. I. AM. DONE. Like, so done! I hate being sick!

Why have I not gone to the doctor you say? I hate the doctor. It has taken me this long to work up the courage to go, and when I called the base hospital yesterday they told me I was not registered and that Bryce needed to go in and do that first. So I'm sitting in bed, DYING, and I call Bryce to ask him (pitifully) to go over there and register me, and he informs me that the battery light in the car has gone on and he is taking it to get looked at first. (we have one car so it's first priority) I am sad that I can't go to the doctor yet, but I have faith that it will all work out. Maybe.....

NOT! It took them 4 hours to get to it, and then they said they couldn't fix it for another 6...?????!!!!!! WHAT?! I AM SICK! Well I get over the fact that me going to any doctor is just not happening on this particular day, but I am still sad that Bryce won't get home till about 2 hours after he normally would. Sad. (Oh and by the way, poor Brycie is super sick too) It ended up that they couldn't fix the car last night and the manager at Firestone had to bring Bryce home. Ridiculous. Now we have no car.

Brightside? It SNOWED :D And we get to stay in all day and drink theraflu and rest. :)

OK, pity party over....


What do I love today you ask? SNOW. I love snow so much! I was so soo sad when my family informed me of their white christmas, and then a few weeks later of their blizzard. Jealous! But, it has now snowed twice in El Paso, and it is so neat! I can't think of a better way to describe snow covered palm trees :) pictures you say? Ok!!
Pretty huh? At least a different kind of pretty. :)

So that is what I love today. What do you love?

  1. I'm sorry you are sick. Get registered and then you can at least get something to help with the sick's.
    I am surprised with your snow. I've lived there (or nearly - out at White Sands Missile Range). It just really doesn't snow in the part of the country/world! Now very often anyway. Two snows in one season? and i's even covering the streets not melting on contact? Brrr! People who live in the desert don't usually have much in the way of winter clothes. Cool pic's. Enjoy the time to rest and recover together since you couldn't leave home.
    I hope the car gets fixed, and that you both get feeling better soon!

  2. MISS YOU! I wish you weren't so sick! Hope you can get into a doc soon. Glad you got your snow, but in EL Paso!?! It MUST be the sign of the times. Ha ha! Today I LOVE little Laney-bug! She has been talking my ear off! Boy can she talk!
