Husband Man's 3D Millenium Falcon Puzzle

So in my last post I told you that I had the flu, right? Well, Husband Man got it last Wednesday, except he threw up all day. That night I slept on the floor because he was asleep on the couch, and then in the middle of the night I woke up and he was gone so I crawled on the couch. We've had all kinds of wonky sleeping patterns this last week!

Anyways, a couple days after he threw up I begged Husband Man to go to DI with me since he was feeling better. He obliged and we drove to DI. I just like walking around and seeing all the random junk that shows up there, and occasionally we'll find a good book or a CD or something that we like. Husband Man was poking through the games, and next thing I know he's standing next to me holding a giant box with a picture of the Millennium Falcon on it, giving me the same look that a little six year old boy would give me.

"Ashee... can I have this?" he implored bashfully. All I could do is laugh, and when I said "Yes" he grinned and gleefully ran off with his box.

When we got home, he worked on that puzzle for... three or four hours, at least....

Poor Husband Man got a little flustered during parts of it, since the puzzle is made of foam.

He eventually figured it out though...

 ...and now we have a giant Millennium Falcon adorning our puzzle table.

He's happy, and that's all that matters! It really doesn't bother me, I just laugh a little every time I see it. I think the funniest part is that there's a little tiny fishbowl on the table with it now, because we're watching the fish for a friend until she comes back for fall semester.

Watching Husband Man play with his toys is so much fun! I should get him to pull out his legos again...

The Seven Week Break Begins

Last Friday I finished my last few assignments and was officially done with the semester! Woohoo! I've never been so happy- so free!

That evening we went to late-night $5 buffet at Pizza Pie Cafe and stuffed ourselves silly with delicious pizza and pasta to celebrate. Later, when we were getting ready for bed, my very full tummy started to hurt. Thinking maybe it was just an overload of delicious food I crawled into bed and went to sleep.

Three hours later I was leaning over the toilet puking up the wonderful pizza that had been my dinner. To be fair, I felt considerably better so I had some water and went back to sleep. An hour-ish later I was puking up that water, although I didn't feel better afterwards this time. I crawled back into bed and attempted to wake up the Husband Man. He mumble some sort of apology and scooted closer to me, but didn't really wake up. I was on my own.

I threw up two or three more times, the last one after Husband Man woke up in the morning. By that point I had relocated to the couch because it was closer to the bathroom. I spent my entire Saturday lying on the couch, weak as a newborn. That wasn't fun.

One of the ladies that I visit teach had the flu, she and her husband had it at the same time, and she called me Thursday morning to ask if I'd watch her baby so she could have a nap. I'm sort of thinking that I was exposed to it then- especially since I talked to another lady in the ward who watched their baby too and she had the flu as well.

So Monday I'm starting to feel better, and then yesterday I got a cold sore, and then today Husband Man doesn't feel good. So the break is starting off fantastic!

I haven't gotten my grades yet--teachers haven't posted them--except for one teacher who posted and I guess I got a C- which really makes me upset but whatever. I know I have another C for sure, that's just how the class is, and I have a couple of B's and then a couple of A's. Overall, given the fact that I didn't want to do anything this semester, I think I'm alright with that. I just hope there aren't anymore surprise grades (unless they're good surprises).

Yeah. That's how it is now. I'm starting a list of fun things that I'm dead set on doing over break so that we don't have a repeat of last August where I just sat around the house and we didn't do anything fun. Once we're not sick we're going to party it up! (When Husband Man isn't at work anyways. But he's got a leadership position so he's getting lots of experience!)

Quick Update.... Finals and Family

It's officially finals week (again....), although last week I had so many projects and things due that this week almost feels like a breeze. (Almost.)

This last Tuesday we drove over to West Yellowstone to spend a couple hours at my family's reunion there. I wished so much that we could have camped out, just for a night!

Since my family was so close my parents and younger brothers drove up on Thursday after reunion was over, just in time to see my organ recital! I played Brahms choral prelude "Oh World, I Now Must Leave Thee" and I'm so proud because it took me all semester to learn!!

After the recital we sat at the house in true Yockeyite fashion (that's all we do during the semester, sit around the house.....) Some of our comic books were passed around, and my brothers played Nintendo '64- just like the last time they were here. I also watched a little girl for a gal that I visit teach so she could get some packing done, and when my mom woke up from her nap she was smitten with this little girl. Once she saw her my mom wouldn't let anyone else have her!

 (My mommy is so pretty!!)

After that we went to dinner, and then I had to stay up until 2AM to finish the homework I should have been doing while they were here....

This weekend has been a little slower, I'll probably die tomorrow trying to get all my homework done again. But I'm glad we were able to have some fun and relax at least a little!

NateMan came over again for the first time in a week to have Sunday dinner and relax. They tried a new game that was similar to Axis and Allies (one of Husband Man's most favorite games on the planet and a game that I can't play because it's complete strategy and I'm horrible at those) and I think it was a hit.

It is way too much fun to listen to these two banter as they play. "Infantry versus cavalry!" "Miss!" "Infantry versus infantry!" "Hit!" "Infantry versus artillery!" "Hit!" "Nooooooo!"

It's been a fun weekend.

If I don't return in a few days, however, it means either I or Husband Man perished during finals. May the force be with us....

Happy Fourth of July!

'Nuff said.
