Test Results

Beth's results all came back normal - the monitor and the sonogram. We're so glad! We really believe it was just syncope, the exact same thing that happened to Chuck back in March. BP is usually low when you first wake up; hadn't had any water for many hours so was probably dehydrated, was exerting herself coming up the stairs; and it just... happened. The perfect storm so to speak. Plus she had a stomach ache so she was in pain. There haven't been any episodes since it happened. She hasn't even felt dizzy or light headed, thank you Lord!
 
Haven't taken many photos in the last week. We pulled out all the Christmas decorations and they're in the den now, just waiting to be unpacked. We hung Christmas lights outside, cleaned the house... including those little things, like the stainless steel electric tea pot. Now that the weather has gotten cold, I'm using it a lot more!
 
We're headed into the busiest week of the year at church. I don't expect I'll be on here much, if at all. On Thanksgiving Chuck, Beth, and I will be at church, then we're having our family Thanksgiving on Saturday. Peter will be cooking the turkey, then we're all providing the other parts of the meal. We're very traditional - stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, black olives, and rolls. We buy pumpkin and apple pies, and I make ice box pie. Then into the living room to watch Muppet Christmas Carol!
 
Have a great week and a blessed Thanksgiving!

Hearts, Shopping, and A Cute Little Car

 Beth had a sonogram today of her heart. I got off work early and when we got to the appointment we were ninth in line! The place was packed. But they got us in pretty quickly and Beth got up on the table. We noticed this one had an actual sheet / thin blanket on it! 
 
She laid down and the tech got to work. She had to move her a few times "because her lungs were getting in the way." Lots of measuring and beeping. She was so good with Beth, telling her exactly what she was going to do before she did it, and explaining why she was doing it. Beth was pretty surprised when the tech told her the sound she was hearing was her heart beat!
 



After her appointment we went to Michael's. Just needed some good old fashioned retail therapy! 
 

 Went directly to her favorite aisle in the whole store.
Looking... looking...


Found it! Crayola Washable Markers. 💖


 I saw this little car on the freeway the other day, I've never seen one before! It looks like a tiny minivan. Does anyone know what kind of car this is?
 

 We went to Molbaks Nursery over the weekend. They were all decorated for Christmas and it was so nice to walk through there. They had free hot chocolate and danishes, live music and the most beautiful displays! Put me in such a good mood and made me want to come home and decorate! We had a good weekend. Hope you did too.
