My Hawaii Trip and more...

Ok so as you may know I got to go to Hawaii a couple weeks ago with my sister Shauna.  It was kind of a last minute, spur of the moment thing that happened and I was fortunate enough to go with her.  She has a friend that lives in Honolulu and we got to stay at her apartment and drive her car (which happened to be a convertible) around while she was at work.  It was a lot of fun and a well needed vacation for both of us I think.  We went on hikes, camped, and went to a different beach almost every day. We went on a full moon hike one night which was totally awesome because we saw a full rainbow at night(cuz the moon was so bright). We got to the top of the mountain/cliff thingy and the view was amazing. The moon light made the ocean water below just sparkle. Then it started raining so we climbed into an old WW2 bunker sort of deal that was at the top of the mountain, and ate cheese and crackers. It was fun. We saw  whale tails splashing out of the water a few times, a bunch of turtles swimming and one resting on the beach, and even heard a wild boar in the jungle that was getting ready to charge us so we ran fast. The weather was mostly lame and cloudy, but there were a few choice sunny hot days that we able to bask in the sun on.  It was a really fun trip but the last few days I was missing my girls and my man, and was ready to come home. Since I've been back Eleanor got another fever and had another seizure, so we spent last thursday night in the ER trying to figure out what was going on.  All her test came back fine,  we just need to figure out why she keeps getting fevers for no apparent reason. She got another fever yesterday(a week exactly after the last one)she hasn't been sick at all in between, and I was paranoid all day/night that she would have another seizure, but she didn't and her fever is finally going away now(I hope) And Stu is out of town, and so is my mom. So I'm doubly stressed of course. But I'm sure everything will be fine.  

Yikes!

We have been so CRAZY busy these past couple months I don't know where to begin. First off we moved, we are still in Kaysville, waiting to hear from the Army and don't know when we will. We have an offer on our house and will be closing on it soon hopefully. But we love our new place! Its a basement apartment with lots of room and a huge yard. And the owners are our very good friends the Rowe's so its doubly great! Our new ward is nice and the neighborhood is awesome. The girls love the Rowe's and their baby boy and two puppies. We had a incident this week that was pretty scary tho..Eleanor had been sick with a fever for two days, I was able to get it down pretty well with Tylenol and Motrin, but on Tuesday it wouldn't go down. Stu had just got home from work and I handed her off to him so I could get something done as I was holding her pretty much all day. She fell asleep on his chest and a while later started jerking around(he thought she was gonna throw up)turns out she was having a seizure from her fever. It was extremely scary. She started loosing color in her face and then turned blue. I called 911 while we tried to keep helping her stay awake and get air. By the time the EM T's got here she was breathing OK, but wouldn't focus on anything and was very lethargic. They checked her out and told us this kind of thing was common with high fevers in small children. They said she looked fine and that we didn't need to take her to the hospital but to make an appointment with her pediatrician to make sure everything was OK. So we did and no damage was done, but she took a few days to get back to her normal crazy self. We are extremely grateful that she is OK and feel very blessed to have a Heavenly Father that is watching over us and loves us, who teaches us things in ways that sometimes we don't understand, but that eventually reveal themselves, and change our perspective for the better. I love my girls, and am truly blessed. In other news Im going to Hawaii on Saturday for a whole week and I couldn't be more excited!! I will post all about it when I get back:)
