New York, New York & Pneumonia

For Christmas I surprised Nate with a day trip to New York and tickets to see Les Mis'. Now some of you might be thinking to yourselves that this gift is more for me than it is for him. Actually it's quite the contrary. Nate is a HUGE fan of Les Mis' and all I heard several weeks before Christmas was Nate talking about how amazing it would be to see that show on Broadway. So it was a pretty easy decision of what to get the boy for Christmas. He was very excited to say the least and the show was AMAZING!

Here are some pics of our day in NY.

This is pretty much what the whole day looked like....blah!

Oh, ya baby...work it, work it!

Chillin' at Rockefeller Plaza...it was packed!


Time square- Nate tells me I look like a little orphan in this picture. I think I look more like a bum. Hey, at least I fit right in.

NY wouldn't be NY with out the naked cowboy. Nate was not amused. I, on the other hand, was fully entertained.

Me, sick from eating deep fried goodness all day long.

Nate can die happy now!

Other random happenings;

Nate came down with pneumonia last week out of no where. I just thought he had a cold and was milking it for all it was worth until he drove himself to the ER. He later then calls to tell me that he has pneumonia and they've hooked him up to an IV. After the 'sick & afflicted' returned home from the hospital he announces that the doctors gave him strict orders to sleep a lot and do nothing. Sleep a lot?...Do nothing?...I want to have pneumonia.

Nate's recovering, but now I am sick (along with Abrie & Macie, who's coughing so hard she throws up). And nope I don't have pneumonia; it's strep throat and an ear infection (self diagnosed). I feel poopie and my head feels like it's going to explode. So I went to the doctor to get a professional opinion second opinion (as if mine is not professional enough). Let's just say my diagnosis and his diagnosis didn't match up. He said no ear infection or strep throat. I mean, what does he know? He went to school and studied medicine for 8 or so years, while I on the other hand have done limited research on the Internet. You tell me, who has the more qualified opinion...OK don't answer that.

I'm still going with my diagnosis of strep throat and ear infection. And I have given myself strict orders to do absolutely nothing. So in my hours of nothingness I will look forward to reading all of your get well cards you will be sending me in the mail. And If you are unable to send cards no worries, I will be accepting donations in the form of hot home cooked meals to feed my family.
