Rockford, Illinios

The past weekend we went to Rockford, Illinois to visit Chris's grandparents. I had never been to their house before so it was interesting and a little nerve wracking. It took about 9 hours to drive there. I'm almost 11 weeks pregnant and the nausea is pretty constant these days. I didn't realize how tired I have been lately until we were there because I haven't been doing anything but sleeping and going to work. But I was exhausted and went to bed at 6:30pm most nights we were there. I felt really bad about it but I was just so tired. I also made it the almost the whole trip without actually throwing up until the on the way home. I get the most nausea after I haven't eaten for awhile and right when we pulled into a taco bell parking lot I puked all over the parking lot and my shoes. That was lovely.

While we were in Rockford we watched home videos of chris growing up. We went to a Japanese water garden
We drove by a garage sale on the way to the Japanese garden and Chris's grandma started shouting "HOT DAMN" apparently it was supposed to be one of the best garage sales in Rockford. We went to it on the way home, but i wasn't all that impressed.

The next day we went to Chris's Grandpa's Barber shop that he has for sale. Chris went to play golf for the first time later that day. I should have taken a nap while he was gone but I didn't and then I was too tired to go to the concert in the park that his grandparents had planned for the evening. Apparently it started raining so they left after about 15 minutes, so I didn't miss much.

This visit I learned how Chris's grandma likes to give all her family lots of stuff when they come visit. They are getting rid of their 30 year old RV so we got to go through it and take anything we wanted. This is what are car looked like the day we left.

Today I got off work in the morning and met chris at the AT&T store by our house. We got in line for IPhone but we were probably the 60-70th people in line and they told us it was unlikely we would get an I phone that day so we decided to leave and come back later to order one. I went to bed when I got home and around 4 pm Chris was supposed to meet someone at Bass Pro Shop to sell one of our bearded dragons. But I got a phone call saying he was in a car accident, less then a mile from our house. I went to meet him and we had the tow truck driver - against his recommendations - tow the car back to our house. The other guy in the accident was at fault so his insurer totaled the car and we got a rental car for a week.


Chris and the other guy were going in opposite directions on a two lane road. The other guy had a mower on the back of a flat bed truck that wasn't properly attached and it fell off and hit chris's car knocking him off the road , causing two flat tires and the side airbags deployed.
