May 3 - ER

Yes, this is exactly what it looks like, Jason laying on a hospital bed in the ER. How you may ask did he end up here? Well you see he got up and went to class and then came home and went straight back to bed. I figured that since he had an early class he was just tired, so I let him sleep. I came home from work around 6 pm and he was still in bed! I joked around with him and told him he was lazy, but all he wanted to do was sleep, and he said that his tummy hurt. He frequently gets stomach aches and so I didn't think anything about it. I went on with my night doing homework, going to the library, and all sorts of stuff. Around 11 pm he finally got out of bed and was saying that his tummy really hurt and he could barely walk, we started doing research on the computer. From everything that we read we were pretty sure it was his appendix. We figured that we should go to the hospital but we knew it was going to be expensive so we decided that we would just wait until 8 in the morning when the student health center opened. He didn't really ever start feeling better, so around midnight we called some people in the ward and they came over and gave him a blessing. We sat around for another hour doing more research and everything that we found said that if we suspect that it was an appendix, then go in IMMEDIATELY because it is a very serious condition! Jason didn't really want to go in, but I told him that if I woke up in the morning and he didn't wake up next to me, that I was going to be ticked at him! He finally decided that he would rather be safe than sorry, so we loaded up in the car and went to the ER. We checked in at 1:09 am...this picture is Jason being a good sport and waiting for the doctors and all the results. We waited so long, for being an "emergency," they sure were slow!!!
 Turns out that it was appendicitis, and he had to have his appendix removed. Definitely was a long sleepless night, but on the bright side I did get a lot of homework done! Note to self, go to the hospital earlier in the day instead of waiting until the time when you should be sleeping!

May 2 - Eyeball

I know, I know, you all (Lisa and Nichole) think I am a nerd because of this picture. Well, the truth is that yes, I am indeed a nerd, but I didn't take this picture because I am obsessed with the eye. I took it because I went to open lab to study and Jason had to work. I felt bad leaving him hanging, so I took pictures to help him study. I don't think he ever looked at them, so it kinda defeated the purpose, but it was the thought that counts, right?

May 1 - Personal Jungle Gym

 

I may be a little biased because I am family, but I am pretty sure that these two kids are some of the cutest kids I have ever seen! These are my cousins Tegel and Annaleise. We go over to their house usually every week, and they love it! They have the idea in their head that Jason is their personal jungle gym. Today they were using him as a trampoline. Not so sure if that is really recommended, probably not, but they loved it!

April 30 - Cafe Rio

Lisa and I went on a date to Idaho Falls and did all sorts of things. Of all the pictures that I had to choose from, I thought this was the most intriguing. We went to Cafe Rio to eat, which is amazing by the way, and this was the drink machine. What a cool idea! I don't know if all of the Cafe Rio's are like this, but I was amazed, I had never seen it before. Not going to lie, I wouldn't mind having this in my house =)

April 29 - False Alarm

The daffodils that were so beautiful yesterday, that were a sure sign of spring, are now not so happy. Can you believe how beautiful it was, and then it just has to snow again! I am starting to think that the snow has some sort of revenge that it is trying to get on Rexburg. Maybe it doesn't like the snowplows...who knows?! The weather here is crazy! Maybe it will be spring again tomorrow.

April 28 - Spring is here!!!

Jason and I were walking home from class and we saw these daffodils in our neighbors yard. I was so excited because these are my favorite flowers. I think that this means it is finally going to be spring in Rexburg!!! Yay!! This really made my day. Plus, I think the fence in the background is pretty sweet. I will say that I did feel somewhat awkward just walking through their yard to take the picture. They are Asian and they don't speak English, so we can't even talk to them. It's ok though, we survived, they didn't come out and try to kill us or anything crazy. Spring is here!!!

April 27 - Food

So, for dinner I made chicken fettuccine alfredo with broccoli. I was so excited for this to be my picture of the day because I made it from scratch. The problem is that it really doesn't look all that appetizing in the picture. I know it was good though. Oh well. Turned out to be a lame picture.
