Monday morning, I woke up to find Bella's eye all goopy. It wasn't really bad I just cleaned it out and went on with the day. I notice that as the day went on, I had to keep cleaning it out. We have a friend here that was telling me the same thing happened to her dog about a week ago and it ended up just being allergies. We have been taking them out on the woodsy trails and we have heard moving to a new area, especially in an area like this with the Mississippi so close and bugs being so bad, that dogs allergies will most likely act up. Well when I went to bed that night I didn't really think anything of it, but when we woke up Tuesday, her eye was swollen shut because of all that yellowish goop. Mitch and I both tried and tried to get her eye open and finally after lots of trying and leaving a warm moist cloth on her eye, it opened. But- the goop never stopped. It was crazy and awful, so I found a vet and got her in. We were there for hours and come to find out she had something in her eye that caused a pretty bad infection. She is on antibiotics and eye drops and it is def starting to look better! We also made the trip to the vet because she was due for about everything under the sun. Y'all she had blood work after blood work, shots and exams you will appreciate me not telling you about. So she has been resting the past few days and today was the first day she actually started to feel better.
And then on to my story. So I mentioned in my previous post that I have been having ear issues and I was going to the ENT. Well it wasn't a pleasent experience. Long story short, they couldn't get the wax out of my ear with flushing or by scraping it out, so they used this loud, awful, cold, did I mention loud, suction machine. Y'all it was awful! The worst part was because of the pressure and cold temperature going in my ear, it made me so dizzy and when I say dizzy, I mean I was blacking out, feeling like I was going to vomit and didn't know where I was. It took me about 30 minutes to feel semi normal again and lets just pray I do not have to go back anytime soon!
Other than that, our week has been good. I pre-ordered my iPhone and will get it sometime in October. I have never pre ordered before, because I know it can take a while. But since the closest apple store is in Memphis, I figured it would be so much less stressful if I just ordered it and waited for it to come to me. I am in no hurry to get it, so this was the best option for me. Now I say I'm in no hurry, but I am excited. I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for apple make a bigger iPhone. Yes I know most people think its weird, but I love the big one!(I get crap about it all the time) I have been giving my upgrades to Mitch over the past two years so I could wait and get the iPhone whenever it decides to be larger ha! So needless to say, I am looking forward to October :)
Friday is usually a pretty lazy day in our household. Mitch gets done with class thursday and we always celebrate he made it through the week with a trip to Dairy Queen. By Friday he is usually drained and needs a little break from school. So if he doesn't have a test or anything, he usually does very little school work on Fridays. We went to Red Robin friday night for dinner, we had a gift card, and Mitch loves that they have endless root beer floats. I listened to the Jenks/Union game and unfortunately it didn't go our way. I still supported all the way here in TN with my new jenks shirt!
Another project we did this weekend was turn our extra room into a study room. Its kind of a long story, but Mitch has a study group with 2 other guys he has formed and it is going really well. They all joined together because they are all married and also all on the same page with school. They first had a little bigger group and it just wasn't working well. You know it gets when too many people get together to study and it ends up being unproductive. So Mitch and these other 2 guys broke off from the group and started their own thing, which like I said is going so well. Well I had a feeling this would happen, they had been studying in the nursing building, which according to Mitch, has awesome study rooms-tvs, projectors, white boards, etc. Well when others started to figure out how good these guys were doing in the class and how productive and consistent their study sessions were going, people stared to walk in and join their group. Now Mitch is not one to usually say no to people in this situation, but it was getting less productive and they weren't getting much out of it. So he asked if him and these other 2 guys could use our extra room. Of course I was so excited to make this into a second guest room, but he obviously needs it more. And after this first year I don't think they will use it. So we put a table, tv and white board in there and it has been going well.
Saturday, we got up and made our weekly trip to the farmers market. Mitch got his amish donut and I got a glass of goats chocolate milk and it was sooooo good. I am a huge chocolate milk fan but I try not to drink it very much because it is so bad for you. We also had been eying this amish bread and we finally decided to get a loaf. It is a huge loaf, but we make sandwiches a lot and I love to make homemade croutons and with this Rosemary bread they will be so good!!
Saturday afternoon, Mitch had the guys over to study and I went shopping with the girls. We went to a couple of cute boutiques (nothing I could afford) but it was fun to get out. That evening we went out with 4 other couples for mexican food. It is hard being away from home, but we are making some great friendships here and it is making this move fun. I keep telling Mitch, I like this town a little more everyday.

So minus the bad start to our week, we ended it pretty well. And plus both of our teams won yesterday! Go Pokes and Woo Pig Sooie!!!
Since I am still looking for a job, I have lots more time to blog and I love that I am getting to document our first few weeks here. I found a few fun blog ideas I'm going to try and do this week. And yes and promised I am going to a post dedicated just to recipes. We have made some really good meals and I want to share!
