Remember that time, way back when (or at least about 2 weeks ago), when I posted a short post, explaining part of the reason there had been no posts, and promised to post more regularly starting the next week?
Um, yeeaaah..... about that.....
We got back from a truly wonderful trip to Chicago, went right into a great Easter (complete with Easter brunch/game time/all day hang out at our house), and enjoyed our last day of Spring Break (my school had "Easter Monday" off, too - sweet!). I then went back to work... for 2 days. However, things in Seattle weren't going so well with my family, with my gramma being admitted to the hospital because of very low platelet count (normal is 150, she was at 6). Things were looking pretty bad, so Josh and I actually bought a couple tickets from Philly to Seattle Wednesday night... and flew out at 5:30am Thursday morning.
[Side Note: if you have the option (we didn't), don't ever fly from Seattle to Houston, then from Houston to Seattle. It just makes for an unnecessarily long and uncomfortable flight. Especially if you sit in the middle seat next to a person who keeps taking over your space, but pretends to be asleep and had to get up at 3:30am to catch a 5:30am flight. Also, don't take the return route when going home.... and do it as a red-eye. It's worse. Much worse.]
As an update, my gramma is doing much better and is out of the hospital! There are still some questions about what the long-term of things looks like, but for now everyone's just happy to have her home. For those of you who knew (a limited number due to the impromptu nature of it all), thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Please continue to pray for her and our family.
Aside from some long days, it was actually such a blessing to be able to go home for a few days. We hadn't been back since Christmas and weren't planning on being back until July or August. I really, really, really miss my family, so it was truly wonderful to see them. Plus, we got to have a little birthday celebration for my brother, Jacob, who turns 15 next week (eek!), and Airika and I totally made a rainbow cake (her first, my second). It was awesome, trust me.
This is now the point where I once again promise to start posting again soon. So, if I don't, you have every right to leave me a mean comment telling me to get my butt in action. (But, if it's a nice one I might do something nice for you in return. Like post pretty pictures of rainbows and butterflies.)

Dear Hannah and Josh,
No worries that you haven't been posting for a while. I haven't been reading you for long! Glad to hear Gramma is doing well. Game on!

Thanks, Devin :)
Hey, we just got Pandemic (largely because Josh wouldn't let me buy Munchkin Booty), and it's awesome! We've played 5 times on the "Introductory" level -- and only beaten it twice! It's a co-operative game for 2-4 people, and you're trying to save humanity from 4 deadly diseases. It's SO MUCH fun. Don't know if Emily would be game, but I've found I really like co-operative games (I admit it, I like teamwork), and maybe she would, too :)
P.S. Hope you like today's post.
