Trippin'

So as I mentioned last week, I had to go up to Minneapolis for a business trip.  The trip went well; we got everything done we had hoped to do and we were even able to come home a day early.  The only real hiccup with the trip was that our luggage didn't make it onto our connecting flight in Atlanta on the way up.  We had a pretty short layover to begin with and while we were on time landing, there was some kind of gate snafu and we ended up taxing around the airport for around 20 minutes.  Once we de-boarded and checked for our connection, we barely had enough time to briskly walk two concourses down to where the connection was leaving from.  We got to the gate about the time they were beginning to board our zone.  We kind of assumed it would be a stretch for our luggage to make it on the plane and when we landed, I already had a couple of emails saying our bags didn't make the flight.  We checked with the counter and the lady was able to tell us that they were on the next flight up and then set it up to have them delivered to our hotel that evening.  When we got back to the hotel from eating dinner, the luggage was waiting on us.

While things in Minnesota went well, things on the home front quickly went downhill.  Namely, DeAnne's back went out on her again.  She had mentioned it hurting some the Saturday before I left, but during the week, it took her completely down.  She went to the doctor and he gave her some stuff to calm it down and then ordered an MRI.  We got that done Monday morning and got the results Tuesday afternoon.

The MRI showed that DeAnne has spinal stenosis.  She's going to need surgery, it's just a matter of when.  Be praying that the pain she's in currently will subside and that we'll at least be able to put off surgery until around Christmas so that she doesn't have to miss much work.

No sooner than I posted about Harrison's sleep patterns than he blows it all away by sleeping through the night Tuesday night.  He went down about 9:30 and didn't budge until about 4:45 the next morning.  DeAnne and I were both pretty excited.  In fact, I bragged on him so much that he had to show me who was boss and proceeded to get up twice on Wednesday night.  Oh, well.  Like I said though; maybe we're getting closer.

The only plans for this weekend is the yard sale that DeAnne's family is having at her grandmother's house in Opp.  We've got some stuff we're going to take over there but we haven't really had time to dig through all the stuff we have in storage to see what really needs to go.

Have a good weekend.
