Well, I woke up Saturday and thought I had been hit by a truck. My throat hurt so bad I couldn't swallow anything. I decided to go to the doctor because I knew I had to be sick (even though Neil thought I was being dramatic). Turns out I was right- and Neil was wrong-ha! I had a fever and tested positive for strep. I haven't had strep in such a long time, I forgot how bad you feel when you have it. I didn't want to leave the bed. I seriously must have slept for 20 hours on both Saturday and Sunday. It worked out pretty well because Neil was in Columbus all day on Sunday so I could really just lay around all day quarantined to our bedroom.

Now that I'm pumped full of antibiotics and well rested, I'm ready to kick off my Spring Break! I'm caught up on all the laundry, cleaned out our upstairs linen closet, and now I'm about to tackle the bathrooms and dust. After we have cleaned the house, we are headed to Canton to have dinner with some family. After dinner, we are off to Nashville to visit some friends for a few days. We are so excited to get out of town a bit for the break!

When we get back in town, I have a girl's night with the other EA girls. I'm so excited to hang out with them. We really don't get to spend a lot of time together without the guys, so I'm really looking forward to it!

Well, I guess this house won't clean itself, so I'm off to work!

Neil joined Echoing Angels last year and I have to say, this past year has definitely been a year of ups and downs, struggles and sacrifices... There have been times we contemplated whether joining the band was the right decision. Tuesday night was just a further confirmation from God that we are in his will. This is what we have been praying and fasting for!

Neil and the guys have been on the road since Tuesday night promoting the album. I have been so busy at the studio, I have barely noticed he's gone! Isn't that awful?? Tomorrow I head below Atlanta to attend Pulse On Tour with my company girls from the dance studio. This is one of the best events we attend all year. Our girls get to take workshop classes from all of the choreographers of "So You Think You Can Dance!" The best part is I get to take class too!

I will come home on Sunday night and finally get to see Neil for a bit before they leave again for another week. At least we will have one night together!

It has been definitely been a long week but it has also been an exciting week! I am so looking forward to Spring Break. I plan on doing nothing that entire week! Only 8 more days!
