A Great Day in Port A

Nathan and I are in Port Aransas with Amy&Mike and Becki&Jim. We left after church on Sunday and will come back home Tuesday night. Amy and Mike have a condo in Port A and they invited us to come and hang out for a few days. Ahhh-it's soooo good to get away for a few days especially after the last few days I've had. Let me bring you up to "speed"...

I've been suffering severe allergies along with sore throat, yucky drainage and all the fun that goes along with it. I finally went to the doctor on Thursday because I had full blown laryngitis and I was out of nasal spray and allegra. He also put me on Predisone (sp?) so I'd get my voice back. Wow. What can I say? I've been a little crazy. I've been a lot to put up with. First, I was just hyper. Now, I can say I think I've reached roid rage stage. I started these steroids on Thursday and by Friday evening I was mowing the lawn (I don't do that) and then by Saturday morning I was mowing some more, fertilizing AND I was cutting that big limb in our front yard, the one that fell in a rain/wind storm, into little pieces and putting the debris into Daniel's truck. I was up until 3 am Sunday morning watching Jana Alayra dance dvd's (Preschool worship music) and I had to wake up at 6 am for work. Best thing was, I wasn't even tired! Maybe I should take these things during VBS!

Amy and Becki are long time friends (AOII) from college. Amy is doing great so thanks to all of you for keeping her in your prayers. The main thing she is suffering from is caused by steroids that she has to take. We've been comparing stories and laughing at our craziness, although what I've dabbled with these past few days doesn't even come close to what she's gone through. You won't see many pictures of her because she won't let us take any with her in them. She's really swollen right now from the steroids but I know soon, when she's off of them, she'll be back to her normal self. Just so you know, she's just as beautiful as ever!

We went out to dinner last night and had some yummy seafood. This morning I got up early with the guys and went fishing. Becki and Amy stayed in and slept late with the kids. We all went to the beach around lunch time and spent the day out there. We had a great, great day!
