An Eventful Weekend.

On Friday, I took off for Bluefield, but before I could get out of Ohio I witnessed a 3.4 earthquake while standing in Grandma Opal's kitchen. Of course at the time we had no idea it was an earthquake. I found out 3 hours later when I arrived in Bluefield that it was in fact an earthquake and it even made the Bluefield news....go Gallia County!

I went to Bluefield this weekend to be with my mother as she grieved the loss of a dear friend, co-worker, and boss, Dr. Joseph Nieto. While trying to cheer my mom up and be supportive I receive a phone call asking me how Ryan is because they had heard he was in the hospital. Well, needless to say this was news to me. I spent 2 to 3 hours trying to find answers and finally I got to talk to Ryan. He informed me that he was having chest pains and went to the ER, but they could not find anything wrong and they sent him home, where he continued to work as usual (if you know Ryan, you know what I am talking about). He reassured me that he was fine, but around 10:30 PM he went back to the ER and they ended up keeping him for observation. All of this while I am still in Bluefield. He was released on Sunday morning and he was told that someone would contact him to come back because they would like to have him wear a monitor. I like how they could not send him home with the monitor on Saturday or Sunday.....note for future reference...do not have a heart attack or what you think might be a heart attack after 5pm on Friday because the cardiac unit is closed.

To round out the weekend I lost my debit card, well I found it, but it is still in Winfield, West Virginia. Lets just say I am glad it is Monday! I hope my trip to Bluefield next weekend is not as eventful!

Thank you to all of my friends and family who were praying for Ryan and my safe return to Ohio. Also thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers for my mom during this time. I know in my heart everything is going to work out for all of us!

Catching up....

Since Kade's Birthday we have kind of slowed down. The last step is completing our bathroom and we are almost there. Someone is stopping by today to measure and then we will get our estimates of how much the flooring will be and then no more! We are done working on the inside of the house for awhile and just in time for the weather to be nice. Just got a call and they will be installing the floor on Wednesday and then I can have my living room back to order.

Since my last post Ryan has built a building, and all by himself. Well, Kade helped a little. Gravel was delivered today for the building's floor and the plan is to get all of our junk out of storage and placed in the building and then we can finally have all of our stuff in one place. That has been Ryan's dream for a while. He has always wanted a home where he could store all of his equipment and be able to work on projects in the winter, to quote a tv show. "welcome home Alderman Family, welcome home." Now if I could just get internet at home. Another bonus of the new house I was able to get DVR and it is great no more missing tv shows because of Kade's bath time. Having DVR still keeps me in the high-tech redneck category.

While walking on our property Ryan showed me we have a waterfall, two to be exact, but the picture is of the prettier one. How neat, I am the owner of a waterfall. Everything is turning green and I am getting excited about all of this farm girl stuff. I am so excited, I became a 4-H cloverbud advisor. Now keep in mind I am not doing this on my own. I am part of an existing club with my mother-in law and another lady who actually know what they are doing. I know some of you are laughing out loud at this if you have heard any of my farm adventures.

Until next time......
