Back Pain

I have been having some back pain for the last couple of weeks but didn't think anything was wrong. It happens every so often and I just take it easy and it gets better. Well, not this time!
It seemed to be getting better until yesterday. I was getting up to get ready to go to work and I couldn't stand up without my back in serious pain. I called Alan in tears telling him to come home and take me to the doctor. I called into work and waited in bed for Alan to get home. Finally I was able to get out of bed and make my way to the bathroom to get ready.
At the doctors office he said it was just muscular and since it had happened before that he would just give me some shots and meds and send me on my way. I got the shots and took my meds and went to work for a few hours. I know I shouldn't have but I needed to catch up on some emails and phone calls. Once I was there I started getting very sleepy and decided to go home and take a nap.
This morning I woke up and no pain just a little stiffness. I went to work and then came home and took another nap after taking more meds. It's getting better everyday and I can't wait to get back o normal. Well that's all for this weekend. Jut taking it easy and resting my back.

Hope and Nathan’s Wedding

Hope Stanford is one of my oldest friends.  We met in Ruston when she was only 6 and I was 12.  We lived next door to each other in the same duplex and our families became life long friends instantly.  Her and her now husband live in Jackson where they got married just a few weeks ago.  I went down to Jackson a few days before the wedding to help her, her mom, and my mom and some friends get ready for this big event.  We had such a good time.  The reason I write this blog in orange is because that was Hope’s color of the weekend.  Everything was beautiful!

We made baskets, decorated the reception hall and just had a blast with family and friends.  The funniest thing that sticks out in my mind was the day before the wedding my mom, Claire, and I went to Luckett Lodge and finish decorating…we put white paper lanterns everywhere.  Guess who was the one to climb all the bushes and trees to put these lanterns around the grounds….that would be ME!  But I had fun and my saying was, “anything for Hopey!” because she is like a little sister to me and I would probably do anything for her.  That night Alan came into town and we had a party out at the lodge with a band and everything.  People where dancing, visiting and just having a good ole time.

Hope and Nathan Vancil were married outside under a gazebo at 10am.  The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was fun!

Alan and I spent the rest of the weekend with friends in Jackson.  It was great seeing my family and friends over a fun filled weekend.  And we want to congratulate the happy couple…Nathan and Hope Vancil!  We love you!!

Florida Vacation

Alan and I went to Tampa, Florida at the first part of July and I’m just now getting around to blogging about it. 

This vacation is an annual thing now and we love it.  We enjoy going to Busch Gardens, the beach, and visiting with Alan’s mom and stepdad.  While we were at the beach we saw the sunset and I got to take some beautiful pictures.  This year was the first year we had gone to the beach as the sun was setting…it was beautiful.  We did what we always do in Tampa, which is go to Busch Gardens and we had a blast.  We rode rollercoaster and saw all of the shows there in the 3 days we were there.  We hope to go back sometime before the end of the year!
