I hate snow

Last Friday Matt had surgery on his spine so this week I had to work late and extra days to help out since he can't do anything. (Which is why I haven't posted in a while.) On Friday I took Silas to the vet for his yearly check up and he is now 85 pounds and finally healthy! Can you believe we have had him for a whole year already? Time as really flown by, I can't believe we are only like a week away from Christmas it seems like it should still be October. Saturday Kevin had Funerals and was gone almost all day. Did I mention it snowed a ton? Blah I hate snow! I was planning on waiting until the snow either stopped or at lest slowed down before I went out to shovel because there is no point in doing it 10 times, but 3 of my neighbors came over at 3 different times during the day and snowblowed our walkway, driveway, and sidewalk for us. Today I was going to make them Christmas cookies as a thank you but the dough didn't turn out and I was getting frustrated so I said forget it and I'll try again later tonight or tomorrow.

We had a ball

Saturday night was the ball and it was absolutely awful. This year the ball was at the Hotel Fort Wayne. Not very many of Kevin's army friends went to the ball this year but I was actually enjoying talking to one of the girls at our table. We got to the ball around 5:30 checked in and got a drink. Then since we didn't see any of Kevin's friends we walked around the hotel and then stopped at the bar connected to the hotel and got another drink and then headed back to the ball. I had been starving and couldn't wait for the dinner part to start. When it finally started I ate my salad and two rolls and then they brought the main course (and it was actually really good this year) and I took maybe four bites of my chicken and I felt full. And then I felt weird so I drank some of my water and sat there for a few minutes and felt fine and then out of nowhere I felt very dizzy and I remember asking Kevin to walk with me out to the main hallway to get some air and then the next thing I know I am waking up on the floor of the hallway to Kevin telling me to stay awake and keep talking to him which at the time was extremely hard. All I remember about that was Kevin kept putting my arm in the most uncomfortable position ever and all I wanted to do was yell at him to stop moving it or I would punch him but I didn't have the strength to do/say it. Side note: I used to pass out all the time but Kevin wasn't around back then. It must have freaked him out because he had apparently called or had someone call an ambulance, which I was very upset about. The ambulance came and the took me away on a stretcher (never had that happen before) and checked me out in the truck. My blood sugar was fine, my blood pressure was fine, but I had a slight arrhythmia. I opted not to go to the hospital so Kevin and I just went home. I cried from the time I stepped out of the ambulance until probably 3 am. I was so upset that I wasted a lot of money on a dress and that we wasted money on the tickets and the fact we didn't get to finish our dinner and that we didn't get dessert or get to dance and because I was embarrassed and everyone saw and they all probably thought I was a drunk. And to top it off my face got cut. Kevin said he caught me and didn't drop me but I'm not sure I believe him because look at my face!!

Thanksgiving

Wednesday night we went down town to see the fireworks and we were very disappointed. It was freezing and snowing and the wind was blowing and they started like 20 minutes late and weren't as good as last years. Thursday we went to Nana's and then to Kevin's grandparent's and that was it. It was so nice not to feel rushed around. Friday we waited until around 12:30 before we went out to the stores. First we went to best buy and got something for our wifi and then we went to menards. At menards we got a fireplace in a huge giant box bigger than I am only to find out that my starter went out. We had to wait for Kevin's friend to come rescue us but we finally made it home. Saturday we had dinner at my dad's house. Sunday we went with Andy and Tiffany to cut down Christmas trees. We were again extremely disappointed. There were no good trees at all. They got a very small tree and we got a wreath and some garland.
