3 weeks non-stop (ps this is the longest post ever)

I know, my title is pretty weird, but you will understand it in a bit. First I want to say that this is all from a month ago, so things are better now. But let me tell you what's going on, ok for those of you that actually read my blog, then you know that my last post I said I have issues that will be continued, well I am continuing that now. It all started around January when I started my job, which by the way I am so over working there (Ashley don't tell Dan I said that) So please if any of you know of job openings Please let me know. Ok so back to January, all I remember was being exhausted and everyday I thought "how did I used to work full time, it is killing me" but I brushed it off and for 3 months I've just been drained, sick, and unmotivated. Well all of a sudden I started getting headaches at the beginning of April. These headaches were just like migraines except they would not go away. So I went to the doctor and it turns out I have a hypothyroid. I am now on some medicine that I will probably take forever that will help me. It's not fun, but I have been feeling a lot better. Well one of the main reasons why I am telling you all this is because it explains why I have been such a bad blogger. Also it will explain why in all these pictures I have a lazy eye. Seriously when I had my 3 week long migraine, I was in so much pain that I could barely open my eyes. on top of that I started getting a lazy eye that was especially noticeable in pictures.

Ok so now onto the activities we did during these 3 weeks. First We had a last minute trip to CA due to a death in Nates family. His great uncle died. It was so sad but we really enjoyed hanging with family and friends.This is a 3 generation shot of Nate his dad and his grandpa Wright. All three of them were the oldest in their families.

Grandpa Wright's two other brothers came in town also. Gary on the left came all the way from France. We love them all so much, they are so cute.
My favorite part of this trip was that I got to visit all my friends in CA. Here I am with Mindy's daughter Cameron. This is one of my many lazy eye pictures, I would try so hard to keep them open.
Cameron loves to swing in her backyard
Here is me Mindy and Annie. (Annie drove an hour to come visit us and she was 8 months pregnant with her second kid) Annie you are the best, I'm so glad you came!
Heres Case with his best friend George! He is so cute!

Mindy and Annie

This is Annies boy Sean, he is a social butterfly and it cracks me up. We couldn't get him to take a picture so we had to set the camera up on the entertainment center while he watched his movie.

Case is so good a b-ball, he showed me all of his moves

Here is our group pic with the kids, it was rough

Cameron the princess
Case didn't want to be left out, so he took his own princess picture
Nate and Case
The girls!


Thanks so much Mindy and Josh for letting us stay with you. You are great hosts. We miss you guys so much!

One funny thing that I didn't get a picture of but wanted to journal for memory sake even though I really wish I could block this memory out was the ride home... We drove our truck with a mini version of an extended cab, you know the one where it really stinks having to sit back there, even when its just for a brief moment. Well, on the way there I rode back there and though it was uncomfortable, but I found ways to sprawl out. So on the way home Nate's Grandpa asked if he could drive back with us....yeah, so for six hours Nate's dad and I were scrunched as we shared the itty bitty extended cab together. It was awful!

The next week Kinzi came into town. I love it when she comes! By this time my head ache is getting worse and worse, here I am with Kinz. This is our 10th time taking this picture due to my lazy eye

I got to see Megan and her cute boy too!
Max and Kinz looking like models
Oh I love Taya and Dennis! They are so funny!
Here we are at this spaghetti fundraiser, lazy eye and all.
More lazy eye

Anyway, I was so glad to see you all! I love and miss you guys so much!!!

I didn't take pictures of when we went over to Max's parents and played cards, but it was so fun! come back soon you guys!


Then the next week I got to go out with the girls! This was an especially fun night for me because I haven't hung out with these girls in forever!

Here is Posey and Amy at Gecko Grill

Here's the group shot. Literally I hadn't seen Sarah since high school. I had so much fun.
After dinner and talking till we literally got kicked out (even from the patio) we were still wanting to party so we went over to my parents to play texas hold em with Mr Beatty. My dad and Nate and other guys have a guys night every thursday where they play Texas hold em. You can just see on his face that he thought we were crazy! We totally were just goofing around and being crazy!My head and eye were hurting as they always were during these 3 weeks, and it came to a point where literally I couldn't keep my right eye open. Sara who is a nurse mentioned that an eye patch might help. Man was she right! I made an eye patch for me and Amy (she was having an eye headache too) it was the best!

Again I think mr. beatty thought we were crazy.
Finally Posey won! Good job!

Well that sums it up. My headache is now gone. Thank goodness, and my eye is stronger than ever. No more lazy eye.
