So it’s Friday…and the end of the workday just can’t seem to get here soon enough! It’s so pretty outside….and I’m finally over that beast of a cold…and I just want to be at home. Only a few more hours to go I suppose. My parents are coming to visit today and tomorrow…so I’m pumped about that as well. They’re bringing some flowers to plan and a few things to put into our garden as well. (Fingers crossed that our garden isn’t a swamp when they get here….it’s been quite rainy here lately.) I’m just excited to have visitors, regardless. The one thing that stinks about living where we do…is that all of our family is like 2 hours away. Most people don’t want to take the time out to drive all the way down here…which I completely understand. So it’s super great when we actually do get visitors! Here’s to hoping the weather stays nice!Â

So I typically dream most every night…and I usually remember most of my dreams pretty vividly when I wake up. This morning was certainly no exception. I had a dream that Jared and I bought this really amazing victorian house. We started the work to completely gut and remodel the whole thing. As we remodeled….we discovered this amazing room in the attic (which apparently we payed no attention to when we bought the house). Anyway…we gut and redo this amazing attic room and make this awesome game/tv/movie room out of it. Then weird things start happening…and what do you know…we’d bought ourselves a crazy haunted house. It was crazy…and actually a little creepy. We ended up hiring the ghostbuster’s to come and take of the situation…and everything was fine. I guess I’ve been watching to many episodes of “A Real Life Haunting” on the Discovery channel. Silly me.Â
 In other news…still getting over this whole “being sick” thing. I’m pretty much just congested and tired at this point…but man….it’s getting old pretty fast. It’s been pure torture being stuck inside while the weather gets nicer by the day. Hopefully I’ll be back to normal by the weekend!

So after someone is sick like I was earlier this year, one would assume that it would take away your chances of being sick again for the rest of your life…or at least the rest of the year! Needless to say, I’m cooped at home…and sick…again. Not quite sure what it is. I’m sneezing, running nose, some nausea, and lots o’ dizziness. I’m sure it’s just a cold…thanks to this crazy weather we’ve been having. Cold…then warm…then cold…then warm again. It’s driving me crazy! Just stay warm again already! I’ve also decided that working where I do probably doesn’t help either. Our office is hopping with current students and lots of visitors…every single day. So germs are probably just loving our office. One thing’s for sure…I’m getting a flu shot next year. I don’t care how big the needle is…or how much it costs….I’m getting one.Â
 In more exciting news…Jared and I had a fun night on Wednesday. We headed over to O’Fallon…once again…to our favorite BBQ joint…17th Street. They were having a party to celebrate their being on the Travel Channel that night…on a show called “BBQ paradise”. We decided it sounded like a fun time that we didn’t want to miss…so off we went. We started with a delicious meal and some yummy desert. All the while…Mike Mills (aka. the BBQ legend) was sitting right next to us. He’s the owner…and a huge name in BBQ…and of course Jared was drooling to meet him. So there he was…and we actually got to talk with him quite a bit that night too. He even gave us a BBQ calendar…which was fun. So everyone there watched the premier of the show…which was quite entertaining…and even more exciting knowing that the star was sitting right next to us…just chatting away. Good times!
