Beautiful Boston, I am here.

It's been about one month for me in Boston, and the first two weeks were really fun! Regan, Cole, and I took "the T" (train) into the city to see Harvard Square. It was a beautiful day, warm with bouts of rain. We ate at an outdoor pizzaria under an awning right in front of a band playing in the street. Cole was lovin it as you can see in the pic of him at our table! Then it down-poured out of nowhere. . .yet we were safe under our awning. So we had a romantic dinner with the smell of rain all around us. It was perfect. We took a visit to campus and headed back. It was a great day. The old red brick buildings surrounded by the green trees and grass make me so happy!!

We've made some really great friends out here already. A bunch of "the wives" our APEX men have boys the same age, so they get to play together a lot. Cole's best friends are Brock, Dillan, Jack, and Cohen. It's fun to go to the playground area in our complex and know that there will most likey be other wives out there with their little ones playing too. Cole also LOVES to swim. That kid is part fish. I put a little life jacket and tube on him and he swims around the pool by himself for hours. (Don't worry, Grandmas! I'm supervising closely.)

For the first few weeks I felt better than I have in a long time. I was still healing from my surgery and pnemonia craziness, but it was definitely manageable. But of course my body was just dying to check out a real live Boston Hospital, and so we "visited" the E.R. a few weeks ago. Just the same old drill: Fever of 102 for over a week, EXTREME nausea, overall immense body pain, lower abdomen pain, the overall feeling that I couldn't live another second in so much pain, yadda yadda yoo. Well, after testing they said that nothing I have would kill me and to go see a doctor during regular business hours.

So last weekend, for our anniversary, Regan and I drove to Connecticut to see a specialist in Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, and Lyme's Disease. He works for the same company as my Utah doctor, so it was a semi-smooth transition. I absolutely adore my Utah doctor, and will continue to see him when I return to Utah; but it was really cool seeing a doctor in the state in which "Lyme's Disease" got it's name. Plus this doctor has Lyme Disease and has treated many patients with it, so he has some great plans for me. The costs are extreme, and my insurance won't cover it. But we feel that is important that we take advantage of medicine on the east coast where they know a lot more about Lyme than we know on the west coast. We hope it will pay off in the long run! Mostly I hope that we will be able to get this flare up of symptoms under control FAST so I can enjoy and explore the little time we have left in this gorgeous state.

So, here are some pics to enjoy. Some are of Harvard, some of our pizzaria, some of Cole with his friends Brock and Dillan, and a video for his grandmas. The video gives you a taste of how I tire Cole out if I'm too sick to let him go outside and play! I thought we were singing "Little Bunny Foo Foo," but apparently we were singing, "5 Little Monkeys".
