Family, football, and fall weather!

So we had a really good weekend, minus the Arkansas game. We didn't have a lot planned and it was so nice to just relax and do whatever. On friday, Mitch was off, so we spend the day getting stuff done and running errands. And of course we came back with new golf stuff...ha. We both needed a new golf glove and I needed my putter re-griped but we ended up coming home with a few other things as well :)

We didn't have anything planned for that night and Mitch mentioned he wanted to go to the Bentonville High School football game.  At first I wasn't really up for it because I could never imagine going back to one of my hs football games...it just seemed weird to me. But we had dinner at Outback and then went to the game. We got there 5 minutes before kick-off and there was nowhere for us to sit.  I learned quickly that high school football in Bentonville is a big deal....literally the whole community was there. We even saw a lot of people our age at the game.  The first half we had to stand at the top of the stands...it was soooo packed...there wasn't even seating on the visitors side!  Right before half time, we saw our friend Caleb and he had reserved seats up front and so we went and sat with him for the rest of the game.  It was a great game and went into overtime, but BHS won!!! It ended up being a lot of fun and now we know to show up a little earlier next time!

Saturday my parents came in town.  They had not seen our house since it had been all decorated. We spend the morning shopping, and my family loves catfish, so for lunch we took them to a restaurant called Catfish Hole in Fayetteville. Mitch and I went there for the first time this summer and we love it! The rest of the day was spend watching the game at my aunts house.  She lives here in Bentonville and they are huge razorback fans, so we hung out over there all day.  The outcome of the game wasn't good and Saturday was a sad day here in Arkansas...but I would say we put up a pretty good fight and can't wait for the next game!

On Sunday we went to church and had lunch at Mitch's parents house. The high on Sunday was 59! We ate outside and it was actually cold! But I did enjoy getting to wear my hoodie and sweatpants. The weather has been gorgeous here! All week it is suppose to be in the lower 70's.  To celebrate the cooler weather, Mitch and I went to Starbucks before our financial peace class at church. I just love there seasonal drinks! I always have a tough decision between their pumpkin spice latte or the caramel apple spice. They are both soooo good!! I also went and bought some fall candles, so now our house smells like pumpkins and cider! I just love it! That night we grilled out and had Michelle over for hot dogs. Mitch had to work the next day so we headed to bed early, not knowing we had a very interesting Monday ahead of us.

Monday morning started out normal, Mitch left for work at 6 and I was still sleeping.  I woke up about 10 min after he left with bad pains on the side of my chest/ribs. This wasn't just a little pain, it was sooo bad. I called Mitch, he was about 10 min away from work. He asked if he needed to come back and I know he cant really miss work, but my pain was so bad and I didn't know what was going on. So he came back and for the next hour I was in horrible pain! At 8:00, he called the doctor and when he asked my symptoms he told Mitch to not come in but take me to the emergency room. Lets just say I was not happy...I hate hospitals! We finally got in a room and did all the fun stuff...x-ray, blood work, IV, etc....the main reason I don't like hospitals. After all the tests and hours our being in the hospital they finally figured out what was going on.  I forget what it is called (prob doesn't help that I am on pain meds), but it is where the outside of your lungs get inflamed and when they rub against your ribs it causes the pain.  They sent me home with muscle relaxers, anti-inflammatory, and pain meds. So needless to say, I was out of it yesterday! I am feeling better today, my arm is just sore from the IV...but if thats all the pain I have today..I am very thankful! I am trying to take my medicine as little as possible today and its going good so far.

On a better note...Glee is tonight!! I can't wait...I bought two of the soundtracks last week and to say I'm obsessed might be an understatement.

Well these next couple of days will include lots of resting and re-runs of The Office and One Tree Hill. Mitch's mom brought over dinner so I will not have to cook tonight. Hope you all have a great week!
