Events in a Nutshell!... or Stone?!

WoW!... where to begin?!...........

First off!.... Josh made the "Dean's List" for the fifth time in a row!!! I am SO SO PROUD of him!!!!!! Congrats Lovey!

Well... after Josh's thrilling time in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, he flew home and we started our quick road trip visit to Utah. This gave a little time for Josh to relax with family, and for me... another year at BYU Women's Conference with my sis and Mom! We had a great time together! And of course heard some very helpful and inspirational advice from guest speakers.

Thank You Mom and Layner for taking time out of your schedules to be together and to make this happen!!

We're back home now and headed for a chillaxin day at the beach (which btw, was... heavenly!!) Josh just laughs at me when we hit the beach! Yeah!... I'm insanely crazy over seashells for some odd reason! I'll go to extreme measures, risking my life in the crashing waves to get a seashell! LOL!

Next in our chain of events... Jimmy Kimmel Live show! Yep!... I was tickled pink! Wha-hooo!!! I'm just lovin' the shows! So fun! Anyhow, I kept getting emails saying the show was on, then canceled, then on again, then off, then good to go, etc! So we decided to check it out since I still had tickets.... dragging our friends Nate & Katie with us! Sorry guys! ;) Ended up that the show was only for the unemployed workers of Detroit and special guest that flew every single one of them out... Eminem himself! We had a pretty sweet time at the concert, besides the standing for 6 hours!! Although... I was seriously afraid there was gonna be some gang shootings or something! LOL!... I'm a dork! How 'bout having Mike Tyson on with Mr. Slim Shady?! I'd like to see them go the rounds too!! ha ha ha!


Our next event took place after lounging all day and eating nothing but CRAP!!! (that's what happens when the wife has a sweet tooth all day, every day!) We were watching a movie when Josh left the room then came back in white as a ghost, holding his lower stomach and panting like he was in serious pain! My first thought?!.......

I questioned him and the pain, which was worse than the pain of his appendix from the previous year. Josh tolerates pain very very well, so I was in complete shock and panicked when he said lets go to the ER!!! Oh, and btw!... he was out on the computer trying to diagnose himself, yet again!!! We're in the ER until 6:00 Sun am and I still have to go teach my kids! That was a killer! But the pain subsided which was more important! Oh, and after CT scan and pee test the results were EXACTLY what "the wife" thought!...... A Kidney Stone!!!! So, for future reference... Josh will be giving birth for the both of us!!! LOL! ;) And!... there's the proof of 'the passing of THE STONE!!!'

So while Josh was passing his stone on Monday, (which we didn't know if and when it was going to come!) I and a few others were having a Blasty Blast at the "Ellen Degeneres Back lot Bash" Party!!! Yep!... Another show! I tried for tickets just for my Mom!... but other plans were definitely more important and ranked first priority! So, I invited Sister, Katie and Lynn (Brenda's friend). Besides the blistering heat and getting split up at the show... I think we all had a super fab time?!!!! Ellen is like a once in a lifetime deal, ya know?! :) So, I tried to make it what it was worth! I hope it was a good time for everyone!!! (we're on the balcony of the house Ellen "bought"... and also came out of at the beginning of the show!) Yay!!! ;) :) :) Good times!

Oh, and we had an earthquake again!... pretty crazy! So, that is what our past month has been like!

Happy Birthday Jaclyn!!!! We Love You! :)
