Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

So it is official. I am home for a snow day! Hip Hip Hooray! :)

I had a wonderful Christmas. Brian and I were able to spend lots of quality time together and with both of our families. Santa was kind to us both, and to our families as well. Thanks Santa!

New Years was a different story. Now that it is the 7th day of the year, things are on the up and up, but the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010 were rough. I had terrible side pain when I got down to Brian's on Wednesday evening. I thought it would just disappear so I sort of ignored it. We worked out (pain was worse), had some popcorn, and watched Fireproof (very good movie!). I fell asleep and when I woke up the next morning I was in so much pain that I was crying. Brian called his Mom, who happens to be a nurse, and she said it could be my appendix and we should head to the ER. I called my Mom, who is a retired teacher but my personal nurse, and she agreed. So we took off and I cried. After running some tests, my appendix was normal (thanks appendix! you rock!) but the pain was worse. They gave me pain meds which made me sick. The doctor came in to see me and I was crying so hard. I am telling you the pain was awful! Ends up I had a kidney infection. I stayed in the hospital for two and a half days...

Brian saw me at my best- no shower, hair a mess, in a hospital gown. LOVELY! He was a trooper and sat by my side. He held me when I cried. He listened to my IPOD and tried to make me smile. I love him.

The best part from the hospital stay (besides the fact that I am okay now) is the nurses aide, EJ. She called me a princess. For a diva like me to hear that, really helped my ego!

2010 started sort of crappy, but it is going to be a great year! I can tell!!!!
