Some friends invited to go over to their place after the dance, but Jaren was more like we'll see, and I wondered why he was more hesitant. So we got in the car and he told me he had something better in mind and I'd be getting my Valentine's early. So we hopped in the car and drove and I kept asking questions, and all he said is, "it's ugly, but that can be fixed". Oh no lol. Long story short he got me a luvsac! aka a HUGE beanbag like thing. They usually run from $300-$400. But he'd found a ugly, bright one for $80. Movie watching is so much better. So after picking up the beast we went and rented a movie and enjoyed the comfiness. Oh I was also surprised with a box of chocolates, the good stuff. He picked out blueberry cheesecake fudge. Pure amazingness. So there's Valentine's.
So Monday rolled along and I was excited because not only was it our 6 months, but we both had it off and were going to go see Valentine's Day. I instead woke up with my throat all sore. Change of plans! So we just rented and relaxed. Knowing we HAD to do grocery shopping, we went to Costco and Walmart. My asthma started acting up so we went home, and I took my inhaler figuring it was acting up from my cold I was catching. Yeah the inhaler so did not work.
After trying just about everything, I just decided to relax and read my book. Then all hell broke loose! My wheezing increased, I started blacking out, and crying because I couldn't breathe (note to self that does NOT help you breathe easier.) Jaren came and tried to calm me down and gave me a blessing, it calmed me down, but I was still pretty bad, so we had Kevin come over and help with the blessing (for those who don't know about our religion we can give blessing for the sick, but you need 2 men to do it) . I started breathing better, but didn't get any sleep that night. But then again, who would when you can't breathe? I slept for maybe 2 hours only because I took a benedryl to knock me out. I was supposed to go into work, but with the night before leaving me restless and with no sleep, that wasn't an option.
So I stayed home all day, I was still wheezy, but started feeling short of breathe again and called Jaren to have him come home. I called my dr. and told him what was going on, and he prescribed me some meds for my breathing treatment and predisone . Oh, yeah I also got disciplined for not going into the ER the night before, as he could hear me breathe through the phone. After going to pick up my medication, Jaren and I both were like, " wow really? we're so worried about money, but really it comes down to it, some bad stuff could've happened." Yep, next time something bad like that happens, we'll be going to the ER.
So some of you may know, we've been house hunting. We found an awesome house we love, it does need a lot of work done, but it's in our price range. We went to a mortgage officer to see about how much we could get, too bad for I don't have any credit, so Jaren alone got $115,000. So after much thinking about we decided, it'd be best for me to build my credit and wait so I could co-sign. Our bro in law, Andrew, is a real estate agent and told us that the house we want, can't have any offers put until this summer, because of something like the owners are bankrupt. So long story short: this summer it should be only what they couldn't pay off on it. Which makes it pretty cheap! Or at least lower than the asking price. And no one can make an offer! Hopefully we'll be ready by then! So as of now, we'll just put that on hold.
Upcoming and exciting events! My brother is getting baptized Saturday! Yay! I offered to write/ email a talk for my mom to read at his baptism (as we won't be there since it's in Kansas.) Friday we have steak dinner at my uncle Dustin's - yum! And that's about it. Oh! And it's getting sunnier and warmer by the day, and I'm getting so giddy for the spring/ summer. I want to go on vacation, but that won't be till later this summer for our 1 year. That's all for now! Love, Jess
