So this week started off just fine.. working and school like always. However, early Wednesday morning I woke up in the middle of the night to a horrible upset stomach. I was able to fall back asleep, but when I woke up in the morning I still had the upset stomach and now I had terrible back pain. Nothing I had felt before. I drank some cub soda to settle my stomach and off to work I went. I felt okay... but exactly at noon, I was hit with major nausea and a light head. I ran into our bathroom thinking I was going to puke only to fall on to the ground to relieve my back pain. I had to go home. I was able to make it home to sleep on our couch, sort of. The moment Brian got home, I began to cry because my pain was so intense. That is when he said we needed to go to the ER. After getting checked in and looked over by the doctor and nurses, having an ultrasound- they found I had past a kidney stone into my bladder as well had ruptured a large cyst on my left ovary. The back pain was the kidney stone being past out of my kidney to my bladder. I was awful. I have been home since. What an ordeal... but thankful I am feeling much better today. I got off my pain meds- they were not sitting well with me at all. I was super dizzy and sick to my stomach from them. I have such an awesome husband who stayed home from work on Thursday to make sure I was okay. My folks have been great, they were at our side the whole time at the ER. And poor Jami called every moment she could. I know she hated being so far away but I could feel her support and prayers....

Fun Friday Nites. . .
We went photo happy! But it was such a fun night and weekend!
We enjoyed Elliot's, Sushi and capped it off with a little Lucky Joe's!
Of course, and added a splash of wine, beer, whiskey and martini's. . .
Let the "oddness" begin!
Hmmm... Jim? Dan? What are you guys doing?
This is what sushi and lots of wine will do to you!
It must have been neat!?!
Dan being man handled.... like usual!
And a good night kiss! My favorite boy! He is just the best!

Our growing family... Plus one extra!
Ivory's Shower...
It was so much fun spending the afternoon with Ivory and all of her awesome friends and family. It was too fun seeing Rhonda, Steph and of course Jake! I just love that little man. What a doll. And such a trooper- putting up with me and Rhonda! ;o) It meant so much to me to see Ivory out of her hospital room, feeling a tad bit normal. I hope to see everyone soon! Kim we missed you!

Meet Guinness Murphy Hopkins... Our newest!
Well we have a new member to the Hopkins family! He is a 4 year old pure-bred Weimaraner. He is pretty gorgeous! He is as silver as they come. We adopted him on Thursday from a little family that has just out grown him- I guess. But we are stoked to have him!! It will take time for him to get use to his new home and family but he is doing really well. Kingstin is starting to love on his much bigger (85lbs) older brother! Brian is super excited!!!!
Guinness!
