the next day chris and i spent the day with his dad and catherine and jeffery and went up the mountain to virignia city... we walked up and down the "old town" and looked in some shops... visited the old school and took its little tour and had lunch... chris didn't feel that great all day and had kinda a sour stomach... poor guy.
that night chris and i drove up to lake tahoe to meet up with jeff and stevie and their friends to see shakespeare by the lake... we saw twelfth night... which is hilarious! it was the based the movie "she's the man" on. its a really neat setting as you sit in the sand on a hill in little beach chairs and have the lake as the back view of the show. after the show chris and i had walked towards our car and decided to go to the bathroom before taking the trip back down the mountain... while waiting outside for our turn... this bear walked up the walkway towards chris. at first he thought it was a big dog till he flashed a flashlight on it and saw it was a bear... and man walked up behind chris which scared the bear away... bizarre right??!! i was totally freaked and felt lucky it just walked away.
we woke up sunday morning and got ready to go to church out in washoe valley... it was a small little ward but fun to be there. they have a full sized chapel but a really small congregation. that afternoon we were picked up by susan and richard as they offered to take jeff, stevie, cadence, chris and i to the wedding. we drove up to lake tahoe back to edgewood golf course where the wedding took place. it was beautiful! kristen (the bride) looked amazing! loved her dress! we had great fun taking pictures in the photo booth they had for the guest book and eating food. we danced a little but i wasn't feeling great and chris's stomach was bothering him... on the drive home... chris ended up getting sick. poor guy.
that night i made him sleep on the couch so i wouldn't get whatever he had. monday morning i woke up shaking with the chills... looks like i got the flu too. it is still the only time i have thrown up this whole pregnancy. we didn't realize that everyone else had the flu too till his dad walked in the door at lunch time home early from work and had been sick all night. turns out that chris, daivd, karon, her son josh and his friend all had the flu that day. catherine ended up getting it later in the week... weird! it knocked chris and i out. we spent monday laying on the couch doing nothing all day.
tuesday we headed out to jeff and stevie's to stay for the rest of our visit. that night we made spaghetti and took it over to zack and katelynd's house. they had both their new little girl twins home from the hospital and wanted to say hi and meet the babies. wednesday chris went to work with jeff and i slept in! it was nice!! that night was claire's 2nd b-day so we headed to the park for pizza and cake and ice cream.
thursday we went back to zack and katelynd's for dinner and this time they cooked. jeff and stevie came with us too... we have a fun little party sitting around holding babies and talking about the past. that night zack kept freaking out at things i would say because it turns out katelynd and i have a lot in common... haha it was pretty funny. friday morning chris went golfing again with jeff and when he got back we deaded up to lake tahoe just the two of us. we sat by the lake and i read my book the whole time and chris would go out and swim and jump off the rocks and would come back and read for a while. we left once the sun went down and got dinner at a little diner there in incline village.
saturday we got up and went over to susan's. we had an awesome breakfast and then headed over to the pool in their complex. we played in the pool for an hour or so and then headed home. on the way we decided to stop by and say hi to judy hicks since we were so close to her house... we ended up chatting for over an hour. love that woman! it was good we stayed so long though since jeff called and said that brady (their dog) had gotten sick all over the couch...
once we got home i discovered that brady had gotten into our room and found the big box of fudge we had just bought from cabella's earlier that week... she managed to get the box out from a bag within a bag within a bag... and ate the ENTIRE box including the wax paper wrapped around each piece... she is a little dog... lucky it didn't make her more sick or kill her but she was fine... that night we had catherine jeffery and daivd and karon over for dinner at jeff and stevie's. david and karon picked up macaroni grill for all of us. we had a really good time sitting around the table just talking and laughing forever!
sunday morning we got up and got ready for church. we met up with zack and katelynd since it was their ward. when we got to relief society they asked if anyone could play piano and no one raised their hand so i stood up and said i could. i thought it was funny that i was the visitor and was the one playing. after church we headed back to jeff and stevie's and had dinner and went to bed... we got up early the next morning and packed up and left. we stopped real quick at cabella's to pick up a new box of fudge since we didn't get to eat any of the last one... haha.. then drove home. it was really fun to see all the family! we may only get to go one more time for thanksgiving before we have the baby and are off somewhere new in the navy!
