Happy new year!! I know that this is technically a month late, and it's even already past Valentine's now, but this is my first post of 2012 (well, the months of 2012). So deal. =) Also, this is another pictureless post because my camera is broken. ='( It's very sad. So if I'm boring you with words and no pictures, sorry. Feel free to stop reading now. =)
Anyway, I spent the first week or so sick in bed. Remember how I said I got sick the day Jeremy and I were coming home from our anniversary "trip" to Wendover? Yeah. It didn't get better. It started with a bit of nausea that made it difficult to eat and a headache. It escalated into me being in bed eating lots and lots of chicken noodle soup (seriously, it's like all I ate) and watching lots of movies. It was not fun. All in all, it lasted a little over a week. My temperature reached 104.1 (very scary for an adult, I could have started seizing, I was quite lucky) and we were convinced to go to the doctor. At this point, I'd lost a few pounds because I couldn't eat much and I would go into these horrible coughing fits. It sucked. The doctor said I had bronchitis and a virus. He gave me an anti-viral medication to help relieve the symptoms and some cough medicine which I went through in about a week. That's how bad the cough was.
Finally, I was better. And then school started. Like the next day. This semester I'm babysitting for my sister on Mondays while she's at school and she occasionally watches Noah and Ben for me while I'm going to school. Usually Jeremy just leaves work early enough so she doesn't have to. But then sometimes she watches them and he forgets he needs to pick them up. Anyway, we've been very busy with school, Noah's karate, and life. So it took a bit of adjustment.
My birthday was on the 15th. It feels weird to know that on my next birthday I'll be 27. For some reason it seems like a milestone. I dunno. I know it's not like 30 which is a clear milestone. but whatever. Anyway, Saturday night Jeremy took me to the Thai House in American Fork. We love that place. It's so yummy. If you've never tried it, you have to. Try the pineapple curry. It's to die for. I also like the pumpkin curry, but it's a bit spicy so if you don't like hot, don't eat it. Oh, and also try the cream cheese wontons. Yum.
Anyway, back on track. After the restaurant, we went and saw Sherlock Holmes 2. It was really great. I loved it. Then on my birthday Jeremy made flat pancakes (he is the king at this, they're kind of like crepes and sooo yummy). He and the boys got me roses. He hadn't gone shopping for any presents yet, so he and the boys dropped me off at Rue 21 so I could spend the gift card I'd gotten for Christmas and they went shopping (yeah, he's that big of a slacker). So I got some new clothes and some sunglasses (which I REALLY needed) and a bunch of new kitchen stuff for presents. I was really excited about all the kitchen stuff. Ha ha. Then he cooked me lobster for dinner. And made a really yummy fruit salad. We had cheesecake for dessert (that I had to make myself earlier in the day...lol).
Oh, and while we were gone my sister dropped by some super yummy orange rolls which got eaten in like ten minutes. And my mother-in-law and father-in-law came by to bring me a gift card to Kohl's. That was very sweet of them.
The rest of the month was just spent doing schoolwork and life stuff. I can't think of anything else significant that happened...If you made it through without pictures, well done and thanks! =)
