Weekend Wrap-up

This is going to be a quick one because, as is usual at the end of every month, I am swamped at work and I know I won't have time to post when I get home. Such is life.

I guess since I only blogged like once last week, I should start from last week and work my way to this past weekend. This week was pretty ok. We are still dealing with the craziness surrounding Dru's reaction but hopefully all of that will get resolved soon. I don't want to say too much yet. Sorry.

Dru's steroid pack was finished last Sunday. The angry red splotches were mostly faded. You had to look pretty closely to see them. Tuesday or Wednesday, he woke up with the angry red splotches back and slowly getting worse. He called our GP and got an appointment for that morning. The short of it is that the ER didn't prescribe enough meds to get him completely through the reaction. So, he came home armed with more medication to get him through the week. We will know in a few days if this time it worked 100%. Drug allergies are a VERY scary thing.

Otherwise, our week was nice. I didn't fill you guys in yet, but our good news turned into bad news last week. Because the reaction caused hubby to miss his first four days of work at his new job, he ended up losing it. Totally NOT his fault but apparently these heartless people don't care. They told him it wasn't anything he "did" because he did everything he asked when he actually was able to go in to work. Whatever. It's a shame too because they will have an incredibly hard time finding anyone as polite and hard-working as my husband. That's the plain and simple fact. Luckily, he still has his job in hometown. He was going to continue doing that on the side anyway. He has an interview this afternoon so I am keeping my fingers crossed! Please, no sympathies necessary. We believe everything happens for a reason. :)

This weekend I helped host my aunt's baby shower. Do you remember these maternity photos I did at the end of July? Yes, well it was her baby shower. I used one of the photos I took for her invitations. They were super cute and she got so many compliments on them. I also made my special Amaretto dip (my grandmother's recipe) to go with the fruit, as well as framed some of my fave pictures from her shoot to go on her gift table. The baby shower was fun and the house was packed! There were so many people it was hard to get pictures of everyone. I'll try to share what pictures I did get soon.

While I was partying it up at the shower, hubby was with his family helping his sister paint her new place. They are trying to get it all ready before the wedding in November. There is a lot of work to be done still but my in-laws are VERY handy. SIL has a interior design certificate so I know she can handle it.

Sunday we spent being lazy at home. Oh boy was it nice! It was exactly what I needed. I was able to tweak my new photography website some more as well as get my photography facebook page published. Keep your fingers crossed that my business/hobby continues to grow! I have my eye on a couple of new lenses, flashes, and flash accessories that would be incredibly useful. I just need the dinero to get them. :)

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.
