I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Sick-O's

For the last week we have all been coughing our little heads off.
I thought for sure that after a few days we would be feeling better and on with our life.

(like always)

But be just got worse.

So today we all took a trip to the Doc.
After listening to Anthony and my lungs the Doctor decided that she wanted chest x-rays.
I guess we sounded bad enough she thought that we could have pneumonia.

Luckily we didn't.

But we both have a really bad case of bronchitis.

After prescribing z-packs all around,
and the 'good' cough syrup for Anthony, we were sent home.

Hopefully in the morning we will all be feeling much better.

You guy's need to move back home so that you won't be continually getting sick. =) It sounds good to me any way. I hope you all feel better before you come to St. George. I can't wait to see you guy's.
