Allergies

My poor baby Tucker has such bad allergies, basically since he was born. And it's just so hard to pin point what it is. We did a food trial for 3 months and he seemed to do ok and then 2 weeks ago his ears flared up and got super red and he got a rash on his belly and all he could do was itch. So I gave him benadryl (instead of dragging him back to the vet and them saying the same thing and spending an arm and a leg). Well it got so bad he had itched so much this morning his poor ears were bleeding, so I called a veta nd took him in. Maybe it's seasonal allergies and after we have a frost it will go away. But it never does. So he was given prednizone for 3 weeks. I just hope after those 3 weeks he's better. I'm kind of at my wits end and don't know what else to do. :(

India

Well Adam's off to India for 2 1/2 weeks so I recently have found myself living the single life....with 2 children (aka dogs). It's funny because my roommate calls the dogs my children. So for the next 2 1/2 weeks it's just me and the boys. Oh whatever will I do. So far I've been very productive, took them to the dog park, made me some dinner, cleaned, and that was all in 2hours. I have some dates with some friends, and it will be nice to just kind of relax and enjoy the fall weather. He's in New Dehli right now, he left on Monday. Kind of hard because his morning is my night and vice versa. I think we've figured out that if he skypes me at 8am, it's 10pm my time...pretty much the only time we can talk. He said the work day over there is from 10am-6pm so he has a few hours when he wakes up and before I go to bed we can chat. It's crazy with technology, he's halfway across the world and I was seeing him and talking to him last night, got a nice tour of his hotel room and everything!

Last weekend we went to a wedding of one of his friends in Eau Claire....I think the highlight of his weekend is below. A guy who works for the Packers was there and wearing his super bowl ring he got, so Adam asked if he could try it on. Seriously a kid in a candy shop...never seen him smile so big. He should have been since that ring cost $56,000! You think he'll think to spend that much on my engagement ring one day??? hehe...not even close! We had fun though.


Adam gets back on a Wednesday and he's running another Marathon on that Sunday...not sure how his body is going to like him after all that travel and running 26.2 miles. Then just a few short days after that we're off to Cape Cod for a nice long weekend with Abbey Justin and Lucy....I'm looking forward to it, it's going to be so much fun!!!

Labor Day Weekend

Wow, 2 posts in one week, I must have gone crazy! Or just have had more time....thankfully!

It was a busy week and I'm gearing up for a busy Fall! The weather this weekend, was a great change and made me so excited for fall. I love the fall weather, the only bummer is that Winter then is not far behind, and we all know how unbearable winters in Minnesota can be. But for now, I'll enjoy the weather and look forward to the break this weather brings. I'm excited for apple orchards, pumpkin carving, apple crisp baking, going for runs and not sweating to death!

This was a fun weekend, Friday night Abbey, Justin and little Lucy came over. I made a vodka sauce Lasagna and Abs made the salad. Then we topped it off with some home made hot fudge Sundays...all I can say is Y-U-M-M-Y! It was fun to just relax and chat, and start planning our upcoming trip to Cape Cod with them in October. Saturday, Adam went and golfed with one of our friends. They were going to play 18 holes and on about the 12th hole I get a text from him asking if we can re schedule our "date" for that night (we were going to see the movie The Help), I really didnt' care so I told him we could. He wanted to play another 9 holes, so he played 27 in total...that man loves to golf! While he was golfing with our friend Ryan, I took the doggies to the dog park with my friend Robyn (who happens to be Ryan's girlfriend). So while the boys were off golfing, we had fun with the pups. They ran, swam and fetched to their hearts content. We then went to a cute little outdoor restaurant near the park and had some lunch. A beer and fresh seafood...couldn't ask for a much better Saturday afternoon! And Robyn really wanted to see the Help, so I told Adam he was off the hook (it was chick flick anyways he was only going to because I wanted to see it), so we went to that that night. Adam had to run 20 miles that night for his training for the marathon he's running in October, so while he did that I went to the movie, then picked him up after his run!

Sunday we went to Valley fair with my mom, sister and brother. It was a lot of fun, I swear I reverte to being 10 years old again when I go there. I just love roller coasters and all rides. I hope that never changes! We were super tired when we got home so we chilled out and had a movie marathon with some popcorn and milk duds :)

And then today...we went to the Minnesota State Fair. All I ever really want to go there for is the food, so we went for about 3 hours, had some cheese curds, deep fried apple pie, pronto pup, cheese fries, apple sider freezie, and sweet martha's cookies...so good and so full (we split everything so we could have a taste of it all)! Now that I weigh 10 more pounds from the weekend, it's off for a run, grocery store shopping for the week and relaxing before work tomorrow. Adam leaves next Monday to Inda for 3 weeks so hopefully we can spend some time together this week (as I type this he's doing his fantasy football draft....so i've lost him to football for about 5 hours). Hope your labor days we're all great! Next post I'll have pictures!
