In March we made a trip to Panama with Alex and Johnny's friends/family. John, Alex and I decided to leave the night before everyone else and drive through the night. Not that it was a bad idea, but we kind of set ourselves up. We got pulled over in Alabama. He asked for all the usual papers and documents and then asked John to step out of the car and come speak with him. Apparently my tag lights were out in my Jeep...from there it proceeded to John being patted down. As I am having a panic attack, Alex is trying to calm me down and then pulls up another police office. We were then asked to get out of the car and they used the drug dog to search the car. It was insane and quiet an experience. Other than the trip their, it was a nice get away from work and school!
After Spring semester ended, the wedding plans took full speed! From the Bridesmaids dresses to the painting of the isle runner. Along with the wedding planning I took two summer classes as well. To prepare for the wedding and just do get out, I started walking with Natalie and/or Alex at Tribble Mill several times a week. I loved it! Although it had to end once my fall semester started because I did not have the time.
Before Fall semester began we went to the beach again in July for Matt and Nicole's wedding. The morning we got up to head down their our cars were broken into out in our own drive way! They stole several things including my GPS, CD's, a little cash, John's XM radio, and other little things. But the trip was well worth it and we enjoyed being apart of their wedding on the beach. It was a very warm visit to Panama, but we had an awesome time!
Once we returned we had two weeks until our own wedding. John's sister, Mary, Eddie and Colin came down from Michigan a week before the wedding. What would I have down without them? They helped out soooo much, they do not even know! The wedding was all I wanted it to be. I am so blessed and thankful for all the help, and everyone who shared that day with us! The honeymoon was amazing as well! It was different to be treated like someone special something, haha. All inclusive is the way to go!
It has been a while, and to say a lot has happened is the least. This year has been the most eventful year I have had.
After returning from the honeymoon, my classes started back. It was so nice to see all the girls from my class again. This cohort is the closest cohort I know, and it is so fun to be apart of it.
To add to our event filled year, John got into a hit and run car accident on interstate 85 on October 16th. It was my worst fear of news. Turns out he was fine, but his mom and I had to go pick him up from the ER room. His truck was totaled, and he had some back pain, few bumps and bruises, and a small black eye. SO, thankful he was ok, God was with him that morning. As for the hit and run, we haven't heard anything to this date, the guy left his car and ran by foot.
A few weeks after John's accident Maizie started having seizures. She had her first episode on a week day morning. John took her to the vet and they said to keep an eye on her. Two weeks later she had another seizure and I took her to the vet. On the way to the vet she had another one. All her seizures have been scary, but the first one had me in tears because I did not understand what was going on and I felt helpless. Now that I am aware of them, it is a little easier, but still so sad. I left the vet with some epilepsy medication for her, Phenobarbital, and an injection just in case she ever has one that last longer than normal. I did not give her the medication because I heard several different things about the medication, so I decided to hold off. That lasted till this past Monday, when she had her fourth one. I decided to begin giving her the meds. She has been more lethargic, but I sure hope it helps, time will tell.
So this pretty much updates everything to now. Event filled right? Oh the memories! :)
