Really, Jared is the one who should tell this story, but I gave him nearly a week to write this in his blog and he hasn’t, so I am claiming it!

Sunday morning, about 3:30, I was dragged from my dreams by a strange coughing sound. I’m sure you’ve all had it, where your alarm –or whatever the noise is– is incorporated into your dream, so I was really struggling to wake up. Anyways, I finally am conscious when I realize the noise is little Stevie coughing or choking. Almost as soon as I realize this is a dangerous sound to be hearing, I hear Jared cooing, “Oh, thanks buddy, thanks a lot!” Over and over again.

I turned on the light, and Stevie had thrown up all over Jared- and he was taking it so nicely! No screaming or grossed out sounds; just a really nice “Thanks buddy!”

haha.

Obviously, it’s not funny that Stevie was sick. Or that before he threw up on Jared, he threw up on the sheets, and then afterwards two more times on the bathroom floor. Or that all in all, we were up with him for 2 more hours afterwards before he (or we) could get back to sleep. But Jared’s reaction was just so funny- that he could be so calm about it all, as if the dog was just cuddling with him or giving him kisses. I was very impressed with his behavior–I don’t think I would have reacted nearly as well.

(No dogs were hurt in the telling of this story. Stevie was fully recovered by Sunday afternoon.)

In other news, I went to the doctors office again on Monday about the headache stuff–no luck. And she still doesn’t want me to have any sort of pain medication for my headaches for at least a couple more months! I’m so frustrated with doctors. growl!

I did get my Professional Educator License for Utah last week- Upside (kind of): I paid $177 and sent in a copy to the Texas board (and am working on getting BYU to send official transcripts there) to get everything settled to teach in texas! Downside: there are no teaching jobs immediately available for my qualifications in a 45 minute radius. We’ll figure something out though!
