Philly

So Jeff and I took a mini trip to Philadelphia over a weekend mainly because I wanted to take him to his first ever NHL game.  My team, Detroit Red Wings, were playing there and thought it would be fun.  A different experience for me going to a game that isn't home turf.  We got slaughtered (7 to 1) but it was still fun.  We also went to the Bailey's art museum (I think it was the Bailey's anyways.  I can't remember the name).  It had some of the largest impressionist art full of several Reniors and Cezanne.  A little too pricey I think to justify it but still good to see.  We would have done more after the game however I got concerning news from my dad that my grandmas is in the hospital with some heart problems.  She is 92 so it was quite concerning since she has gotten fragile as she got older.  I was too distracted and worried to really think about other things so we went home after that.

Another Update

There really isn't one particular event that takes up a whole post but I'll give a quick update on what is going on in our lives for those wondering.

About a week ago, the lease on my car was up so we turned it in.  So now we are down to one car to share between the two of us for about a month until the weather clears up so Jeff can use his motorcycle.  So it's early mornings for the both of us so I can take Jeff to work then I'll be off to my job.  Luckily we don't work too far from each other so it's not a big hassle.  Only problem is my job can be a bit unpredictable as to when I get to leave so I might leave Jeff waiting for an hour or so before I get there.

We have also been talking about my health situation with our bishop since it has been quite some time and we are at a loss as to what to do.  He shared with us some of his previous medical issues that had similar symptoms and advised that we go in and be more forceful with the doctors.  So yesterday we found a doctor and went in yesterday talk to him and he found something swollen in my sinus' that may be the cause of most of my problems I've been having.  He prescribed a nasal spray and a netipot and if that doesn't help things get better, then I would get a scan done.  But after talking to the bishop and then this doctor, I feel that things are finally looking up and I might actually see more permanent results.

Other than that, we are both doing well.  Still working and Jeff is more actively applying to a graduate school.  Lots of paperwork needs to be done and more phone calls to make but it's getting there. Fingers crossed!
