Catching up...again

I thought I would catch you up on a few things.  Sorry for the delay.

I had my stress test last Friday.  Because I can't walk quickly/run on a treadmill, they did the whole test via a PET Scan (I am such a lucky girl!!).  It was basically like a 20 minute scan where they give you an injection of dye and to substitute for the running, they give you an injection of a drug that speeds up your heart rate.  Let's just say it wasn't the worst procedure I've ever had but it wasn't pleasant either and I really was ready to try the treadmill instead!  I did make it through okay and the great news is everything was fine.  No plugged arteries and no heart disease.  This was great news to me but I have no idea what the chest pain was last week.  I'm freaky this way but I can't wait to see what this little "chest pain" issue cost my insurance.  I'm thankful every day I have great insurance.  There is no way I could do these things without it.

I also got a few photos from the luau I went too on July 5th.  I thought you might enjoy seeing a few photos.

Many of the girls showed up with flowers in their hair (including me). 
They were making fun of us so we participated in a photo about them.

Mike and Kim - the fabulous hosts!

We had lots of fun.  Although I never ventured onto the grass, I had fun visiting, having great snacks (who made that 7 layer dip!!) and yes...I drank a few Margaritas!

Over the weekend, Philip and I spent time planning a college visit for him and his Dad to Arizona State University.  They are going to tour the Tempe campus on July 28th.  They are doing the student lead campus tour, tour of the dorms, and an afternoon tour of the Honor's program.  It should be really fun.  He is also planning to visit University of California - Berkeley but their Engineering program doesn't start until September.  Maybe they can visit during UEA break in October.

I'm feeling pretty good this week.  I hurt my SI joint again.  I saw the chiropractor again on Monday.  He gave me a huge adjustment and I felt much better but I am pretty sore today.  I hope all this hocus pocus resolves soon.

So another calm and easy week.  Hope it is that way for you too!
