Weekend in Chillicothe

Early in November we made a trip up to Chillicothe.  We stopped by Great Grandma and Grandpa Alden's, visited Great Grandpa Travis for Veteran's Day and saw Aunt Deb and Uncle Larry, and went out on our first little date while Grandma Dee and Papa Johnie watched West.  On Saturday Brad was put to work chopping down trees and he and Johnie worked in the shop for a bit.  It was a wonderful weekend away!

Back to the Blogging World

After a two-year hiatus we're back to the keyboard to share everyday moments with you all.  You know, now that our everyday moments are a little more interesting (at least to our little guy's grandparents!).  We're blogging not only to keep family and friends in the loop but also to have a fun record of these wonderful days that are quickly becoming a blur.  Thus the title, "Memorable Days Daze."

And what have we been up to in the past two years since we last wrote?  Oh, not much.  We just graduated, moved to KC, started new jobs, bought a house, got pregnant, and had a baby.  :)  Now that you've been brought up to speed, we hope you will enjoy reading about our adventures as much as we will enjoy sharing them.  

"in sickness and in health..."

Well, we've had a lot of the "in sickness" around our house lately! Two weeks ago I came down with a cold that lasted for a good 8 days or so, and just as I was getting better Brad came down with the same symptoms... until he started to run a fever after a day or two. Not a cold... the flu!! And it wiped him out. He started running a fever Tuesday evening and didn't leave the house again until Saturday night! He's finally on the mend, but still has some fatigue and nasty coughing spells.

After a couple days of me feeling better, my cough worsened. Then Saturday I started running a fever... the flu finally got me too. We figure it's the swine flu because I got the seasonal flu vaccine three weeks ago (we called the student health center and they aren't having people come in to test, they're just treating it as the flu and recommending isolation, rest, and fluids). My fever broke this morning and I'm actually feeling pretty good. We're so ready to both get healthy! (and air out this apartment!)

Anyways, we just wanted to send out a quick update as to how we're doing. Hope you all are staying healthy and enjoying this beautiful weather!
