Wow. Back from Winter Camp and that's all I can say. Wow.

This weekend was AMAZING! I don't like being out of my normal routine...I don't like sleeping/eating/hanging out in dirty places...And I don't like feeling totally exhausted and only getting a few hours of sleep each night...BUT as much as I hate all those things, I'd go right back to camp in a heartbeat with the group of students and leaders I had the pleasure of spending this weekend with!

I can't even put into words the experiences of this weekend. All my thoughts are just randomness at this point...Give me a few days to absorb it all...(And catch up on my sleep!)

Until then, here's a few (unedited) pictures!!

I survived a pretty insane week at work and am very glad it's the weekend...Too bad it's almost over!!

This afternoon I had a photoshoot with sweet little Lawsyn for her 3 month pictures and tomorrow me and her mommy are gonna go take even more pictures while her daddy is playing softball!! I'm so lucky to have great friends who'll let me practice and try out new ideas on their babies!! Here's one of my favorites from today...


And yes! Please take note of that green grass that I searched all over town for!! The rest of todays pics are on my website (www.jennharrisonphotography.com) and maybe tomorrow I'll get around to posting a few on my photography blog...(Just not really in the computer mood right now!!)

So after a pain-free weekend, Matt woke up in misery again this morning about 5:30am. He toughed it out til about 10am, but then we made the trip back to the ER. They gave him a different pain med this time and it's really made him feel completely out of his head. Friday, once the pain was under control he was fine, but now with this med even when the pain's gone he feels miserably sick and uncomfortable! Looks like a boring night home for us!! I really hope he passes this dang thing soon and gets back to his normal self!! I miss my husband!!

On another note...Here's a few random pics I took of my sister's dogs over the weekend...(I'll have to take some better ones in the spring once the grass comes back to life!!)


Molly with her mutilated Gatorade bottle...



Sweet Jack...



"Go Molly Go!! Go Jack Go!!"



And not necessarily a great pic, but I just love the look on my nephew's face and his sweet little hand trying to pet crazy Jack!

Okay so I'm definitely in the running for the worst blogger award! Lately I've been averaging a total of one post a week!! I'm sorry!! Forgive me!! Maybe part of my problem is I don't like to have too many posts in a row with no pictures, but I'm too lazy to transfer pics from my cameras!

So anyways...The highlights of the week...

Tuesday night was a girl's night out for Lindsey Leland's birthday. Dinner and dessert at Boll Weevil!


Then the "excitement" of the week began Thursday night after we went to bed...Matt woke up about midnight with what felt like a cramp in his back. After a little while the pain seemed to ease up and he fell back asleep. Right about 4am he awoke again but this time was in some serious pain. (In an attempt to preserve his manliness I will avoid using such words as "crying," "moaning" and "shaking") Lucky for us, I've witnessed the effects of many kidney stones with my dad so although I wasn't too "worried" but I knew the only way for Matt to find some relief would be a trip to the ER for some major drugs!! So off we go at 4am!! We got there and they took Matt back immediately...Everyone knew exactly what it was just by the way it had come on so quickly and the way he described the pain. Within about 7 minutes of walking in the door they had him hooked up to an IV and started him on some morphine! Our awesome friend Steve met us there and we (well me and him at least!) had a impromptu student ministry meeting while the poor hubby was getting good and drugged up!! After they got the pain under control they sent us home with more pain meds to keep things tolerable until the stone passes...We got home about 8:30am and climbed right back in the bed!! We slept for a good while and then spent the day being lazy and catching up on some DVR'ed TV shows!


Since then, the weekend's been pretty uneventful...As far as Matt, he doesn't think he's passed his kidney stone, but it's not in a place where it's currently causing him pain...

Now it's time to head back to work for the week and start counting the days til next weekend!!

At least we've got a new episode of The Office coming on after the Super Bowl!!
