Popsicles and Pudding

It was so great to see Caleb again this weekend. Billy and I had a blast hanging out with him and the BPs and it was nice to be able to celebrate Bryan's birthday with him. Here are a couple pics from the trip.




Surgery went very well on Monday. We arrived at the hospital at 8:30am and we were out of there by 12:30. I was not in too much pain and I was ready to leave as soon as I woke up in recovery. I pretty much slept the rest of the day at home and then all night long. Tuesday when I woke up my throat hurt a little more but it was still tolerable. I was able to eat a few things like mashed potatoes and pudding, but not much more than that. I figured since I was drugged up and couldn't talk much, I might as well try and get some things accomplished.

Billy drove around with me looking at a couple apartment complexes. Since we were both on this side of town, we decided it would be one of our only chances for a while to get out and look for a place to live. We found a couple places that we liked, so that has helped us narrow our search down.

Today my throat hurt a lot more when I woke up, but I was still determined to be productive. I went down to Lauren's house to look at the bridesmaids dress, since hers already came in. It is so bright and fun and I am so excited for them to wear them. I came back to my house and began putting together favor boxes. I worked on those for a while and then Billy came over and helped me finish them. We then went to Al's to look into tuxes. We found some we liked and locked in our deal. At 2pm we headed over to a cake tasting with a local baker. We loved her cakes and will most likely be using her. We then ran to a couple of craft stores to by some stickers for the favor boxes. We got back home and worked on the stickers for a while. Now it is time to rest a little bit more so I can continue to recover quickly.

I am so thankful that I did not get sick from this surgery and I pray that I will be back to normal in no time!

Sounds like you are being very productive!! I am glad that you are not pukey because that would be sad. I want to see pics of the favor boxes when you get a chance :)

Yea Carolyn! I'm so glad your surgery went well. Bobby and I enjoyed the pictures of your weekend with the BPs...I could look at pics of Little Mister Smiley Face 24/7. I also enjoy reading about all the things you and Billy are doing to get ready for your wedding. It won't be long!
