Hoppy Easter!!!

So I hope everyone had a great Easter!

Mine did not go so well… The night before we went to the Watering Trough and I had a tiny bit to much to drink. So I spent the entire day being sick and poor Jeff had to take care of me. We had to watch Easter service on the TV (not to much fun).

After missing Easter with my family, I was finally feeling half way descent and we went to Jeff’s parent’s house to selvedge what was left in the day :(

Note to self: do not drink the night before a big holiday!

Mayo Clinic visit






I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for praying for Jeff and I this weekend. We truly felt everyone's prayers!!!

I wanted to let everyone know how things went at the Mayo… When we arrived at the clinic Jeff went straight to get his blood taken. Normally there is about a 45 minute wait but we were very lucky and were only in the sitting room for about 10 minutes. After the blood work Jeff and I had about 3 hours to kill for his next appointment so as you would expect from me, we ate (we both had been fasting for his blood work) and went shopping. For the girls there is a new and amazing outdoor mall in Jacksonville. Jeff even had fun (sporting good store everywhere). So when we went back to the Mayo we were not so lucky with the waiting time!!! We were sitting there for 2 hours and I had watched entire movie. Jeff was finally called in for the last test, an ultrasound for his neck. We left the clinic for the day and had a night on the town; I had fun showing Jeff my old schools and places my family would go. We ate at our favorite pizza place on the beach, and that night they had an art and craft walk in that area so we did that for a while and called it a night at 9:30. We felt like old people going to bed so early but we were so mentally exhausted from that day.
So the next morning we had to get up early and go to Jeff’s doctor to get the results for everything. His doctor brought us in and told us the great news; Jeff’s numbers are still really low (that is good new!!!) and he did not notice anything alarming in his tests. At this point nothing was taking away our smiles!!! We are so excited and blessed that Jeff is staying cancer free and is in good health! Thanks again to everyone for your prayers!!!!


Jeff is giving the thumbs up after the good news!!!

Jeff and I are all smiles!

the barn

Today was so much fun. Mum and I decided to go to The Barn; it is such a cute quaint gift shop. It took us about 2 hours to get there, with very little traffic (which is very surprising for all of the construction on I4). Anyways when we arrived there we headed straight to The Stable gift shop. They have some very cute nick knacks, candles, floral arrangements (totally up mums ally), and seasonal decorations. After shopping for a while are stomachs started growling, so we decided to go eat at the Backporch Tea Room. It has a very tiny menu but the food was yummy, but the dessert was so amazing. It is probably my new favorite cake. It was called honey apple pecan cake. Now don’t tell me that does not sound scrumptious! I ended up buying the mix so I can make it at home.

the barn

I didn’t get that many pictures but here is one of the entrance. We ended up not getting that much stuff. I got some fun summer dish towels, and mum walked away with a silk plant and a very precious bunny for her house. I had such a great time and I can’t wait to go again next year!
