Summer Happenings!

I forgot to mention in my previous post that Bill and I celebrated our anniversary on June 4th!

 

  TWENTY YEARS

 

 He knows me so well! He gave me a bunch of gift cards and cash so I can enjoy shopping this summer!

 

 

Ryan and I went to the zoo with my friend and her kids!  It was a beautiful day, until I received a phone call from my mom saying that my dad needed to go into the hopsital immediately.

He had a test done and the doctor called saying he needed to go to the hospital

because his heart rate was more than double what it should be!  So we

loaded up the car and headed back home to wait to see what

the plan was going to be.

 

 

 

A "simple" procedure of shocking his heart to try to get it back into sinus rhythm, took a turn for the worse, as he had difficulty waking from sedation - which was a sign that his heart was weaker than they had anticipated.  He was taken to CCU and ended up needing to stay for 4 days.

 

This is all he wanted - TO GO HOME!

A week later, my brother was working and attacked by a Pit Bull.  He needed 16 stitches!  Thankfully he was wearing a glove - because this could have been a lot worse without a glove on! 

 

 

Here's a picture of my parent's backyard.  My dad asked me to take some pictures while all the flowers are in bloom!

 

 

Ryan leaves for vacation with my brother, David this weekend!  Hoping they get good weather!

 

 

 

Anniversary Surprise

Friday, JUNE 4TH, I awoke to this taped to my computer hutch:

Inside each of the gift card envelopes were gift cards to my favorite shopping places! (although the envelopes were "Target" envelopes, the gift cards were from Hobby Lobby, Dunkin Donuts, Big Lots, Target, Burlington Coat Factory, Target, and Kohls!!

Does my husband know me or what!!!!!????? For dinner, Bill and I went to Hugo's Frog Bar. Afterward, Bill watched the Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup Final game and me.....well, I went shopping!!!

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!

Last Friday (May 28th) was the last day of school! This will be the first time I have the entire summer off! 2 months, 3 weeks, and 4 days to be exact! Looking forward to every single minute!

Believe it or not, Ryan has begun Driver's Ed. He has his permit and started the BEHIND THE WHEEL portion of the course this week. YIKES!!! Next week he will begin football camp. On Monday and Wednesday I will be driving back and fourth to his high school SIX times a day between football camp and driver's ed classroom and driver's ed behind the wheel!

We've already been enjoying the warm weather in the swimming pools. We joined Centennial Beach this year, and hope to spend many days soaking up the sun!

Memorial Day weekend we took a trip to Brookfield Zoo with my mom and nephew, Jacob. It was a hot day, so many of the animals were inside. We had free passes, so we can't complain!

Today is our wedding anniversary. We met on June 4th 1983 at a concert (Molly Hatchet, Scandal and Jonathan Brandmeier) and 10 years to that date (June 4th, 1993) we got married . So with the 17 years we've been married and the 10 years we dated - we've actually been together for a whopping 27 years! WOW! We will celebrate at Hugo's Frog Bar for dinner! It's our favorite restuarant!

Hope to post more often now that I have tons of free time!!!!
