Great weekend and other stuff

This weekend we had a great weekend. We stayed in a cabin at the summit of the blues. It was perfect. We were able to stay for 2 nights. Saturday we went down to Pendleton and took the underground tour and then went to the Indian casino. Today we hiked around the campground and then took a 4 hour detour home through some of the most beautiful country around. We saw elk, deer, rabbits, cows, chipmunks, Kokanee salmon. We are planning a winter getaway later this year and I had seen some good deals on cabins at wallowa lake in Oregon. I wanted to stop and make sure it was as beautiful and perfect as it looked like it would be. It was. I think we will get the reservation made when we get home. After stopping and checking that out we came up over the mountains into the hells canyon area. Like I said it was absolutely beautiful, but I wish we were home already. Only a little over an hour and we will be, though.

We are also thinking about going to the Oregon coast for either my birthday or Kyler's. I haven't been there in the winter. I think it would be interesting. Last year we were blessed by being able to go to Hawaii about a month after we had Kyler. While we were there we took rose petals out and spread them on the beach. I'd really like to be able to do that every year, but financially it is not realistic. So I think we will make a tradition going to the coast each November/December and spreading petals. Any coast, any ocean. We live about 12 hours from the coast and could just go, release the petals and turn around and come home at the very least each year.

Thursday I got up and was getting ready for work and started coughing and couldn't catch my breath. I took my inhaler and went to work thinking it would clear up, it didn't. I couldn't get an appointment at the doctor until the afternoon so I took a half a Xanax and continued on. It got a little better but not much. I went into the doctor and he gave me a nebulizer, a script for prednisone and more Xanax. He's not sure if it is my asthma or a wired kind of panic attack. Awesome, just what I need, more crazy. We'll see what happens. I am a little worried that it might be blood clots but he wasn't concerned.

Wednesday is my first volunteer shift at the foodbank. I am so excited to do something for someone else. It is also about time to work on some more blankets and I am thinking of doing a few big things for Christmas.

Tomorrow we are going to go refinance our house. It is going to save is quite a bit of money which hopefully will help us make a dent in the baby bills if I don't spend it all on adventure or charity. :)

Another one of my co-workers wife's is pregnant. When I was pregnant, actually I think it was the day before I went on bed rest he told me how jealous he was of us. Well I guess it's my turn to be jealous. I'd venture to say I am about 250,000 times more jealous then he was. Things will be fine for them, they almost always are. I've been having a hard time having hope for more babies in Clay and I's future lately. I just have a bad feeling that it isn't going to happen. I can't explain why. Hopefully it is just some of that paranoid crazy, but we will see. I try not to get too discouraged. Even if we aren't able to have more babies, we did make a beautiful one and we will have a good life together.

Anyway, enough gloom. Here are some of the pictures of our beautiful weekend.
