Yeah,I'm Still Among The Living!

Well good grief!It has been a long time since I have written a new post.There are no words to describe how pathetic I am.I don't even know where to begin.I guess I will start with the vacation that Scott and I took.We went on a cruise for our 5th anniversary.We were on the same ship that we took on our honeymoon.Ah,how romantic!We had a really great time.We went to Grand Turk,Half Moon Cay and Nassau.Half moon Cay was definately our favorite.It is a very small island.There are only about 35 people that actually live there.I would love to be 36!I really can't describe how beautiful it is.The ocean was like a pool.It was that clear!And the sand felt like powder.I could have stayed there foreverer.Actually there is a bar on the island and the name of it is I Could Stay Here Forever.We were kind of nervous about dinner that first night because when you are on a cruise,you are assigned a table with the same people for every night of the cruise.We were worried that we would get paired up with some weird freaks that would make things,well.....weird.Well,we were worried about nothing.We met the nicest couple from Wisconsin.We totally hit it off with them.So that made the week that much better.We have kept in contact with them through email and we would like to get together sometime.Oh and they are Christians!Good times!So in addition to Scott taking me on a cruise ,he also got me a new ring!He had my diamond from my engagement ring put in a new setting.The diamond had fallen out of the original setting.Well,he gave it to me a couple of days before we left for the cruise.He wanted to give it to me on vacation but he was worried about getting through security at the airport.Well,unfortunatly the jewelry store didn't size it right so it wouldn't go on my finger.I deceided to take it with me on the trip anyway just so I could look at it.Well the first night as I was getting ready to go to dinner, I was putting my jewelry on and I deceided to try my ring on again.And for some reason it went on.It was a little snug but it was on my hand!So we went to dinner and then to a show and then we came back to our room for the night.I started taking my jewelry off,but when I got to the ring it would not budge.It was really stuck.So I went in the bathroom and coated my hand in soap thinking that would help it slide off.No such luck.It was STUCK!I tried and tried and tried some more to get it off but it was no use.Scott even tried.Well,by this point my finger was turning purple and was really starting to throb.I was really upset.We really didn't know what to do next so we called the nurse.She said to put my hand in a bucket of ice.Well,I did that for a while but I swear it made my finger even more swollen.So we called the nurse again and she said to try to elevate my hand.Well,by this time it was like 2 in the morning and we were so tired.So,we went to bed and I tried to elevate my hand which is hard to do when you are sleeping.I don't think I slept at all and my finger was even more swollen.I woke Scott up and kind of freaked out.I couldn't feel my finger at all now.I knew that this was not a good sign.So we went down to the lobby desk and told them that we needed someone to cut the ring off.So,they sent a maintance guy to our room and he cut it off.I was so relieved to have it off my finger but I was also really upset about my now damaged ring.I didn't know if it could be fixed or not.Well,when we got home Scott made a visit to the jewelers and explained what happened.They felt so bad that I had to go through that because they didn't size it in the first place that they fixed it for free!I can laugh about it now.So anyway.A couple of weeks after we got back,me,Maggie and Scott's mom went to Lousiana for a visit to Scott's granny which is his mom's mom.Here name is Maggie and while we were down there she turned 90.So we had a big birthday party for her.It was a nice trip.I felt really bad that Scott was not able to go with us but he just couldn't get anymore time off work.We missed Maggie so much when we were on our cruise and then two weeks later Scott had to be away from her for another week.Good grief this post is long and I am not even done yet.A few days after Scott and I got back from vacation we found out that we are going to have another baby!!We were so not planning this but we are excited none the less.I am about 2 months along and morning sickness is in full swing.This too shall pass.So Maggie will be getting a brother or sister for her third birthday.Yes,I am due on her birthday.But,I will be having a scheduled c-section and they usually do those a couple weeks before your due date.So that will work out just fine because on June 7th Scott's brother is getting married and Maggie is the flower girl.Her birthday is the next day.Needless to say it will be a busy couple of weeks.Okay,I think it is time to bring this thing to a close.Maybe next time I won't wait a month and a half between posts!
