Falling Apart

My body is falling apart. Whats new?

If you know me at all then you know its not new. I am accident prone and have the immune system of a snail. If I so much as look in the general direction of someone with a cold, I catch it.

It all started last Thursday when I sprained my ankle. I stepped off my front step, rolled it and POP! Sprained. I thought I was going to die. What was worse than the killer pain in my ankle, my neighbors were sitting in their car watching the whole thing, I'm sure they had a perfect view of my face as I went down but I was tough and didn't shed any tears.

But 2 1/2 hours later when Erik walked in the door THEN I started to bawl.

Monday I woke up with a cold.

Tuesday I had to call in sick because I was 100% positive that I had swine flu: after all, I had all the symptoms (achy, sore throat, nasal congestion, fever, chills) and we're not supposed to even enter the hospital with "flu like symptoms"

So I stayed home and was tended to by my prince Erik who luckily didn't have to work. (Lucky for me, maybe not him) And I finally watched "Legends of the Fall" for the first time and Crystal: Now I see what all the fuss is about Brad Pitt! Yowsa. Great movie.

Now I look like Rudolph after 3 days of blowing my nose even with Puff's plus.

Then this morning I was curling my hair and burned my chin with the curling iron.

I look LOVELY with my raw red nose, my sprained ankle and now my burned chin.

In other news; it's been quite boring around here. The rain has really put a damper on things; we haven't been able to explore or do much. We've gotten a lot done around the house, but a few things have yet to be taken care of. Here are just a few of the rooms (by request)...

Bedroom: a work in progress

One Sunday evening Erik and I headed up Green Canyon, rain and all. It was beautiful, we spotted a few caves, a rainbow and scoped out a few trails that we're excited to explore when the weather clears up.
Not sure what canyon this was up but Erik loved climbing to the top of this "peak"

and more fishing. This was at Porcupine Reservoir. It was so pretty up there, the water was like glass.I also would like to announce that we are going to have 2 Aggies in our Oberg abode.

Yes, I have been accepted to USU and will start this fall. I'm so excited to finish school and will still be a Wildcat at heart! I am going into secondary education. I will be studying health as my teaching subject so once I get that out of the way I'll start on the secondary teaching program.

Can't wait to get started.
