This weekend

Well, I thought I would just update everyone on the crazy weekend we had. First of all, Jake and I went to Round Valley this weekend so that I could go through the temple on Saturday. When we arrived on Friday, we promptly began delivering wedding announcements. It was actually pretty fun. We got to see a lot of lights and we talked to a lot of people. Then we went home early because our session started at 8:30 in the morning in Snowflake. Mom and I had to be there at 7.

Anyway, it was great to go through. Justin had me a little freaked out, but it was really cool. Heather and Sam made the trip and others present were the Goodmans and Ashley, Janet, and Jake and his parents. Sister Ziegler was working in the temple that day and she was great. So good times. Then, we had to book it home for a bridal shower. It was pretty great, and thanks to Donna and Ashley and Lori and Ashton. So after all that, I went home and power went out at about 4:00. I decided to take a nap. When I was finished, the power was still out. So mom heated up some soup and we lit kerosene lamps and played Yahtzee (with Hilary's permission).

So then on to Sunday. We were a little worried about the weather, but decided to stay for church. About an hour before church started, Jacob's dad called me. He told me that he checked Jacob's blood sugar (for fun) and it was 552. For those that don't know, that is SUPER high. But Jake said he felt fine, no different than usual and he would wait till we got back to Mesa to go to the doctor. So we went to church and ate lunch. Jacob didn't eat any carbs at lunch, and we prepared to leave. Before we left, we checked it again and it was 480. So we went to the emergency room because it was sunday and there were no doctors in their offices. So they gave him insulin and prescribed him some pills. They wanted to keep him for a couple of days at first, but he has finals this week and he didn't really want to stay. So we went to Dr. Wilson's office this morning and promised we'd find a doctor down here. Then we went and got a machine to check his blood sugar and came home, where we filled his prescriptions and went running to see if we could help bring his sugar down a little.

All in all, it was a pretty crazy weekend. I'm now wearing garments, and Jacob has a chronic illness. And we are getting married in 12 days. We are still very excited about marriage, despite the rest. I just thought I should update everyone.
