Fever

Today I had a fever. I felt bad last night, had a restless sleep, and woke up feeling worse. First thing I did this morning was walk to the bathroom and puke. You would think I would be used to the having a fever/throwing up thing, having CF and all. I don't think people can get used to pain and suffering. I can't.
Anyway, I took a total of two naps today, ate two meals, and did my CPT and breathing treatments three times. It's been a long day.

Comic Commercials

You probably have seen these before, and may not find them as humorous as I do, but I think they are at least amusing enough to watch more than once.

Gold

Nature's first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf's a flower;

But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day.

Nothing gold can stay.

I received a very, very nice letter from a friend today. It is really great how God shows his love for us through people here on earth.  When you feel tired of this life, and the people and the circumstances in it .... it is comforting to receive encouraging words.

Update

So yes, they did in fact offer Seth the job! Praise the Lord! He goes in to do the paperwork and drug test on Monday, and the two week training away from home should start within the next couple of weeks.

Also, today is our 'dating' anniversary.  I wouldn't have remembered on my own, but when I woke up and went in the kitchen this morning Seth had roses and chocolate for me.  So sweet.  So we have been a couple for nine years now.   Watch out, we are catching up to some of you! Haha.

Guppy 1

Yesterday Levi had his very first day of swimming lessons!  He did good! He has always liked the water, but he never wants to get his head or face wet.  Yesterday was the first day and he was up to his neck, blowing bubbles, and water was splashing on his face.  He goes back every weekday for the next two weeks, and we are hoping he will dunk his head, or at least his face by the end.  To our surprise also one of his teachers is a girl Seth and I know, named Kenzie.  Anyways, Levi really seemed to love the class, and he had a lot of fun.

Coughin' Chopin

Here is an article talking about the Polish composer Frédéric Chopin.  It talks about Cystic Fibrosis being a possible cause of his death.  After reading about all of his symptoms, and considering that his sister died at the age of fourteen of the very same symptoms .... I think he did have it.

What do you think?

Cystic fibrosis – a probable cause
of Frédéric Chopin’s suffering and death

He got the job!

We think. Yesterday Seth went for an interview at Valley Yellow Pages. He applied for an outside sales - account executive position. Basically selling the ads in the yellow pages to companies and businesses. The interview went smoothly and they told him that they would definitely be giving him a call. He has to return for a "second interview" in which they want him to bring his social security, i.d., driving record etc. They are also going to do a drug test. Although he is not officially hired until he completes his drug test, paperwork and two weeks of training away from home, it looks to us like it is in the bag! Thanks for praying. My dad and Rebecca also helped a whole bunch since they have done the same type of job/interview process, and we kind of knew what to expect. The whole thing has been a little stressful, but overall I would say a positive stress more than negative. I'm looking forward to seeing how the next couple weeks and months unfold... and I know Seth will do great.

We actually prefer Levi's hair shaggy.... but it was just time to cut it!
