Just for the record, nothing burned that we didn’t want burned and the emergency room ended up ok! :) But as you can guess we had quite the weekend!
We kicked off the weekend by grilling out with our small group on Friday. It was a blast to hang out and spend some good time with friends. Every time we leave friends I am reminded of how grateful I am for good people in our lives!
All last week I was very stressed out and lacking sleep so I had been looking forward to sleeping in for days. However as much as I wanted this to happen, it was just not to be! :) Emily, my twin sister who lives in our basement apartment had been battling a migraine headache that would just not go away. She had taken off work for the past few days and just was not getting better. So Saturday morning 7:45am she calls me from work saying she was starting to lose vision and needed to go to the hospital and get something to relieve her headache. Phil and I rolled out of bed and picked her up and headed to the ER… Needless to say I think God was teaching me something about giving and caring for others! In the end they gave her some great drugs and was able to finally be headache free after a four day migraine! Phil and I also had fun playing doctor in the hospital… I think we watch to many medical TV shows!!
She looks scared.... why would she be go scared when Dr. Katie is taking care of her?!? At least Dr. Phil was staying away.... I mean he really only knows about taking care of crazy people right?
I'm just checking her fluids and making sure her IV is dripping at the correct rate... don't worry, I'm a pro!
OH NO! Flat-lined! Good thing Phil and I know what we are doing... we most definitely saved her life!
This is my solution for fixing a headache... Oh no... this is mean! (Just for the record this picture is AFTER she had the meds and was feeling better... no am not so cruel as to pretend to hit her on the head WHILE she has a migraine... just after!)
Just taking some notes to put in her file!
*disclaimer... I do not take any responsibility for my actions that morning... or the embarrassment i caused Emily.... clearly I was still sleep walking.... I mean LOOK at my hair?!?! (who in their right mind would go out like that?!)
Saturday night we went to church and then came home and grilled and had out first camp fire of the year. I am not sure what it is, but I just love sitting by the camp fire with the warmth coming from the fire and the cool air. Phil and I ended up having a great talk about the sermon… but more on that later!
Sunday I finally got to my much needed sleep-in! When we got up we started work on the bathroom right away and finished grouting the tile countertop of the vanity and installed the hardware for the shower. I had a much needed talk with my mom also… although it left me crying at the end because I miss her so much!
For lunch, we meet Phil’s parents and sister to celebrate his Mom’s birthday! It was very nice to see them!
After lunch Phil and I decided that we needed to get out and enjoy the great weather, so we took the dog for a walk to the dairy queen a few blocks from our house. Seriously… I felt like the All-American family! It was so nice to be out and enjoying the warmth!
To finish off our weekend we spent more time getting the bathroom together. This morning I took the first shower in our new bathroom and got ready at our new vanity! So unbelievably nice! It looks so great, and is awesome to have some BIG progress being made! Today we are continuing to prep the walls for paint, and after this is done we will be able to install the toilet… something I am greatly looking forward to!
