Hey Everyone!

Just thought I’d do a quick update post.  The past few days have been quite crazy – we currently have no power at my house because of a storm, and a few days ago I ended up in the hospital, and my family is also in the process of adopting a dog!

So this power outage – not fun.  Not only am I bored out of my mind, but it is also extremely hot out and we have no AC.  Not to continue complaining about not having power, but I can’t imagine not having any ever.  Being without for a little while definitely makes you appreciate it when you have it.

And then there’s my thrilling hospital adventure.  Basically, I ended up with a severe migraine that not only caused head pain, but had me dizzy, throwing up, and unable to stand.  My Mom took me to the hospital after speaking with my doctor, and thus began our 9-hour hospital fun.  Did I mention that I don’t handle hospitals or needles well?  Let’s just say that it was probably the worst night of my life.  Never have I felt so horrible from a migraine before.  I get migraines quite frequently, but this was a whole new level of extreme.  By the time I got home it was past 7am.  So basically I pulled an all-nighter in the emergency room.  Such fun!  I’m feeling much better now, but I’ll admit that I’m nervous that next time I get a migraine it’ll be just as bad.  Let’s just hope that doesn’t happen.

And the last bit of news – the dog!  Ever since Charlie became part of our family, my Dad and brother have wanted another dog that is bigger and more playful.  Not that they don’t like Charlie, but as he is older he is not as active as they would like.  So, after much debating and searching I found a Beagle that would be a great choice.  We are now in the process of being approved by the shelter for adoption and once that happens we should be getting the dog!

So that’s it!  That’s my major news!  Hope everything is well with you guys!  Talk to you soon!
