Pictureless Post of Thanksgiving Week

Now this is a little strnage for me but there are no pictures in this post. Partly because I am at work and don't have the camera (and actually should be grading papers instead of posting) and partly because I have no pictures from Thanksgiving. Why you ask ....

Sunday before Thanksgiving McKenzie and I flew to Pensacola. It was our 1st flight together and went really well. There was no body cavity screaning just regular old security and you get all the perks of getting on 1st when you have a baby.

McKenzie had been coughing since Sunday morning and I called my peditrician because you can't give a kid under 2 cough medicine. They said to go to a walk in place if she started running a fever. Monday afternoon she started so we took her to urgent care. They did a strep test and it came back negative and said it was a virus. They would know the results of the long strep test and call me if it turned out positive.

All week Mckenzie battled a fever and acted blah. She is a very active child so for her to want to cuddle and be held all the time is odd. She was basically attached to my mom. We had to let her fall asleep on us because she would cough so much. Thursday night her fever hit 103 and we called Gulf Breeze ER and the on call people at my peditrician's office. They said it was probably a virus and give tylenol and fluids. The fever broke that night and she ran a 99 fever all Friday.

Saturday McKenzie really started acting like her self again so we did get some pictures then. Plus we were all decked out in our FSU gear for that AWESOME game! It was the 1st time since Jason and I have known each other we beat the Gators in football.(Now we don't have to split up for FSU to win!)

Sunday we traveled back home and it was back to the grind yesterday.

After work yesterday I got a text from my mom that my cousin had strep. Then I got a call that McKenzie has strep. Let me say, I was NOT happy. I always was a false negative so I understand about that. I just don't realize why they knew on Thursday (my mom read the report) and didn't call me until yesterday. So that was Thankgiving. A sick child, who had never been sick before, that went a week untreated for strep. Now we have the meds and Jason is AWESOME at giving them to her. He calls it her candy and she takes it for him. Hopefully she won't be a cronic strep person like I was. If so she's getting her tonsil's out as soon as it happens too much. I waited until I was 21 and had mono for 6 months. Not fun.

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and I promise to have pictures of this weekend's Christmas parade and visit with Santa!

Then and Now

Today is the 6 year anniversary since mine and Jason's 1st date. Here's a little then and now.
Then...
    I met this guy Jason on November 6th at the FSU- Duke football game. I didn't really retain much about him since there was a game being played and I tend to be very vocal. The guy was cute but I thought I'd never see him again, I mean there were 80,000 other people there too. Then on November 11th I went to my friend Jason's place to watch the FSU- NC State game. Jason was also there. We didn't talk much during the game but talked some afterwords. Jason got my number because we were going to try and get tickets to Dierks Bentley for a group of people. Sunday November 14th Jason called me and ended up asking me out. I don't actually remember him asking me on a date until I hung up the phone. That's how I knew God was in control and this was going to be the one. Monday November 15th we went out to eat at Chillis and stayed there for 3 hours talking about all kinds of things. We then came back to my apartment and watched Fresh Prince of Bel Air and we kissed. We've been together ever since.

Now
  Today Jason and I got up and went to our jobs. I teach and he works for a company called WinWare. When I got off work I picked up our amazing 19 month old McKenzie and came home and played with her until Daddy got home. Then he played with her while I fixed her grilled cheese. Kenzie then got a bath and went to be. Jason and I left her with the babysitter and went to Chillis where we met our newlywed friends Ashley and David for dinner. It was a great night and I love my husband so much. I can't believe how God has blessed me in the last 6 years.
