The Haps

WELL it has been far to long since I updated this thing! But life has been so crazy, and surprisingly, this has fallen to the list of 'do later...' But here we are now, and I I will catch you up on whats been going on with us.

We have been busy! School wise, we are just doin our best to keep our heads above water. In the beginning of the semester, I thought I was going to be spending all my time reading for my classes. But in reality, I feel like I spend all my time doing math! For those of you who know us Hanaike girls, you know is not our strong suit-but its paying off-I'm doing pretty well in the class, and in fact, all my classes are going well. Lester pester poo is also doing well. He had a rough start, what with the massive amounts of stuff he had to do, but now that he is starting to get a balance things are working out.

Which brings us to our next point. The other day, Lester came home a little bit stressed out, saying he had to get 25 people to let him check their vital signs for his para medicine class. Luckily, he married social me, and I had more then enough people who were willing to let him check everything from heart respiration rate to their blood pressure. After we made most of the rounds, we were in the home stretch and walking up the stairs to our friends Alana and Bobby's. On our way up, I heard her open her door and to come out and meet me, and I got SO excited that I sailed right the platform, not noticing this random step down, and sprained my ankle. SO embarrassing, and painful. Within 5 minutes it was about 3 times the size, so for about 2 days we iced and elevated it, to no avail. We hit up the doctors, and they said that we were doing everything we should and that I shouldn't walk on it for about a week, so we left with an ankle brace and crutches, and some good old pain meds. Needless to say, I have been spending a lot of time on the couch.

But again, thank goodness I have such great friends, because they have come to visit me and what not. Catherine and I talked and laughed like the good old days, and she brought me Tangled to watch an some popcorn. Steph and Emil have come over a few time, for visits and what not. We had the Constantine's over for games Sunday night which was a blast, and ended outside on the sunny grass. They also loaned me the old Star Wars on DVD which has made all this couch time SO much better! But Lester has also been the sweetest in taking care of me, and making sure I feel loved and that I don't get cabin fever-which has been great.

We have gotten to do some fun things though-Lester found the perfect date for us at the drive-in theatre to see the new Origins X Men. It was AWESOME-we both loved the other ones, but this one gave them a run for their money. It explained so many things. We highly recommend it. We also got to go to a bonfire the Lennard's put on the other night, and it was just so chill and beautiful-the sky seemed endless and you could see every star. We've had several picnics and game nights with friends as well-both old ones [like roomies] and new ones. Gosh, it really has been a while...but ya, that's the fun stuff we've been up to lately.

I've also been experimenting some more in cooking/baking and its been real fun! I made a red velvet sheet cake from scratch the other day with homemade icing, strawberries on top drizzled with ganache, and it was good. Tonight I made some Thai food from scratch, and although I was so worried it would be a mess, it was so yummy! And then I made french bread for the first time for the healthy sandwiches Lester and I have been eating [I usually just do white, so this was a change..]. Yup! So that's the haps!

I would post pictures, but to be perfectly honest, I have either forgotten my camera or felt to gross and injuredish to take any lately-but good news I leave on Friday for the week for CALIFORNIA! YAAAY! And I am sure there will be LOADs of pictures then...I can't wait for the sunshine, beaches, family, food, and for my ankle to be 100% so my hot hubby and I can break it down at Hillary's wedding! Until then...PAYCE!
