Last week, Derek and I were watching American Idol, and the contestants had to sing songs from their birth year, and one of the contestants was born in 1990! In my mind, someone born in 1990 should only be about 5-8 years old! Not 17! I was trying to think of where the last 10 years of my life have gone.... and its pretty simple:
First year after graduation I just worked and screwed around, and wasted money. The next year I met the love of my life and then my head was in a fog for several years. ;) Then the 4th year after graduation, I got married to the love of my life, and landed my glorious job at the Corvallis Clinic. The following year, we bought our first house...(oh the excitement of purchasing your first house!) The next two years were spent working, traveling, and purchasing things for our house to make it our home. The 8th year, we got pregnant unexpectedly, then miscarried, then a month later got pregnant again unexpectedly. Then last year was spent doting on our first born, and that brings us here to today! Other than that first year out of highschool, the last 10 years have been amazing! We are so blessed to be where we are today!
On a different note, as many of you already know, Jadon developed a nasty nasty rash on sunday evening. I took him to the doctor on Monday, and they said it was a reaction to a virus and told us to give him childrens benedryl. Whether or not she's right or not, we may never know. I still have a feeling that this rash was caused from his chicken pox vaccine that he had had just 2 weeks earlier, especially after hearing of my cousin's friend whose son had the exact same thing happen after his chicken pox shot. Either way, Derek and I both agreed we'd rather Jadon have a nasty rash for a few days than the full-blown chicken pox! Today the rash is almost gone, but he still goes back to the doctor tomorrow to get rechecked. He has also developed another cold from who knows where... probably the nursery at church. I too have had a scratchy throat for the last few days, and still waiting to see if its from Jadons cold, or if its seasonal allergies. Hopefully just allergies, but I will gladly and happily take a cold ANY day over the stomach stuff!
