Scabies?

I thought I would give a little update since the last time I blogged Andrew's skin issues hadn't appeared. We aren't too sure what's going on all we know is whatever it is it's spreading... And I haven't gotten it yet. It started out looking like bug bites on his arm. Some of them were in a straight line and there were 3 of them. Then they started to spread, get bigger and itch. Within two days his arms were covered and it seemed like they would always show up after he had slept. We thought maybe he got bug by spiders because we slept on the floor one night but then we started sleeping in the bed and they still kept spreading so I washed all of our bedding to see if that would help but it hasn't. Then the marks on his arm started to scab and look like reashes and everyday when we wake up he has new marks on other parts of his body. Yesterday they spread around his belly and back and to his legs, then while we were working he text me and said he got one on his eye lid. It's been going on for about a week and yesterday I decided it was time he needed to see a doctor. We've been asking my family what they think it could be and most of them have said possibly scabies. Which is pretty gross. It's a bug under the skin that bites, and they are suppose to bite the most at night. I've been doing alot of research on it and I also found out that if you wait to treat it it will get to the point that it will be impossible to sleep because they will be so bad at night. i also read that it can take 2 to 3 months for symptoms to show, so if it is scabies who knows how long he has had it. Ha I probably have them and dont even know. I'm hoping it's not that though and maybe it something less severe. I don't know maybe scabies isn't as severe as I think but it just sounds bad..... and gross! Well we are going to the doctor on my lunch break to find out whats going on so I will update later.

Getting ready for school!

Things around here haven't slowed down at all. In fact, I think they've gotten more busy. Both Andrew and I are getting ready for school. I was able to meet with an advisor last friday and register for a few classes. Unfortunately, because I waited so long to register for classes my options were limited. Most of the classes I need are either full of right in the middle of the work day. Luckily they offer some saturday classes so forhe next few months that will be what the mornings of my saturdays consist of. Which is okay with me, I'm just grateful I'm able to take classes. I'm hoping to get a full schedule right now I only have 9 credits but I'm going to write a letter to a couple professors to see if they will let me submit everything online because I don't think my boss is going to let me miss work. Also, Andrew'sinancial aid came through yesterday and he was able to register for classes so we will both be very busy with working full time and going to school full time but we both are very excited and up for the challenge. My birthday is this Sunday and I have to say I'm a little sad that I'm getting so old, but also happy that I will no longer be a teenager. Life is good here. We miss y'all back home!

The Sibs are here

The siblings have been here for about a week now. It's weird to think they are already leaving tomorrow. It's going to be so weird and quiet not having them around. The first couple days they were here we went and stayed up at the river. We did some swimming, fishing and of course we played some river baseball. The fishing wasn't very good which was weird but we did catch a few catfish and a couple bass. And Aaron did slap a fish and it was hilarious, I will post the video later. I think I laughed for an hour afterwards. Lets see on Monday we went boating.. The very first time the boys got on the tube I was so scared for them because they had the 3 of them on the tube which is never good. When there are 3 people someone always gets hurt. But they did it and when we went around a curve the tube whipped around and the boys went flying. I think they are still a little sore but they should be fine. If you're not sore after tubing you didn't do it right. Andrew and I did a little skiing too. I had done it before so it wasn't too hard but watching Andrew was fun. His very first time trying to get up he totally did the splits. Then the other times he would get up for about 3 second and ten it looked like his skiis flew our from under him. Yesterday Andrew got off early and they all went to the temple... I was very jealous I couldn't go, but andrew promised we could go soon. Well I need to get back to work but it's been nice having the sibs out to visit. we miss everyone back home!! Oh and we will post pics from their trip soon.
