The most amazing thing happened this morning. I opened the garage door to leave for work, and get this: discovered it was raining. This means that although rain was falling OUTSIDE, it did not drip, drip, drip into the bedroom and wake us up. I'll have Derek feel the ceiling once he is up and running for the day, and if it is dry, we'll actually be able to replace the moldy, stained drywall above the bed and have a decent looking bedroom for the first time in the three years we lived in the house.

Speaking of three years, three years ago yesterday, I took an impromptu half day off of work to hop down to the county courthouse to get hitched. It has been a really wonderful three years!

Finally, but certainly not of least importance, Ethan seems to be getting over his very first sick experience. He still got up a few times last night, but he wasn't too sad when he did, and he was ok sleepig in his own bed. I am keeping my fingers crossed for a full recovery by tomorrow.
