Weekend Adventures

Well, this weekend has been a very busy one!  On Friday, we were going to go camping with Paul and Alyssa, but we didn't really have enough time to, so we decided to go hiking and have a campfire instead.  We wanted to go to Cress Creek trail, but I kind of got us a little lost so for the first part of our adventure we followed a railroad track and climbed up the side of a hill.  It was actually pretty fun!  Pulling the stickers out of our socks, however, was not.  I knew we were close to the trail and that we still had plenty of daylight left, so I called my mama (my best direction system) and she got us there safely!  This first picture is the rock we sat on and watched the sun set.  It was a beautiful day and the sunset was great to watch!  

This is a picture I took while we were going up the trail.  Yes, part of it was paved, but since we are all out of shape it was ok!

On Saturday morning, I woke up at about 5:30, trying to catch my breath.  I couldn't get enough air to my lungs because they felt so congested.  I tried drinking some hot chocolate to loosen things up, I tried putting my head over some boiling water to see if I could get the steam to loosen my lungs up, but nothing worked.  I finally decided to wake David up, but I knew he was going to be super tired because we had been up so late the night before.  But, being the wonderful husband that he is, he got right up, put me in the bathroom and had me in a hot shower so that I could breathe in all that steam.  That didn't really work, and since no doctors office was open that early, we headed up to the hospital.  The wait wasn't very long and I had a few little tests and they finally told me that I had bronchitis.  Basically what that is is the inflammation of the main airway to your lungs.  They gave me some antibiotics (in the hope that it was a bacterial infection) and some cough medicine. 

We went home and slept for a little bit longer.  David had to go to work so I stayed at home.  He took a break at 2 and came and got me and dropped me off at my mom's house.  He got me all situated and went right back to work.  I think he was afriad if I was home alone that I would stop breathing and die, so he was being so good to make sure I was ok!  So all Saturday he was at work and I was at my parents house.  I mostly sat on the couch with their dog watching Dr. Phil.  It was a long day because I was sick and I didn't get to see David hardly at all.  Normally we spend most of the day together so that was really hard.  I was so glad to see him that night!

Today was a pretty good day, we slept in, went to church, had dinner at my parents house, then came home and relaxed all night!  We had a nice little suprise when we looked out the window.  It was a good end to the weekend, being able to see another beautiful sunset!
