What is going on?

Some mysterious things began to happen during the summer. I became so moody that my 3 favorite people in the world were feeling the effects of my explosive hormonal spout offs. It was not pretty.



  • I remember getting so sick one night after being out in the sun all day branding at Conger's with Wayne and Andy. I thought I was dying. I called my mom telling her my head hurt so bad inside and out, like there was a bruise, I had chills and thought I was going to throw up, only those symptoms can not even begin to describe how I felt. I seriously thought I was dying and needed to go to the ER. I could not settle down. Eventually I passed out. This day was one to remember after all. 








  • Another time Carrie, Wayne, Andy and I had gone out boating with some other friends on her family's boat. I had tubed on my stomach and had belly flopped into the water, skied and sipped a margarita on the beach (yes that is legal on SD beaches). I remember telling Carrie in the car on the way back that I was cramping and should't be. She just gave me some weird look. Later she reminded me of this day and said she knew what was up. 








  • I told Sonya and Wayne not to cut Wayne's hair while I was at work at the child care center, I would do it when I got back, and whoever did it DO NOT SHAVE IT! Shaved white heads freak me out. I came home from work and there was this ugly bald freakish looking head and I flipped. I threw Michael's shoe at it. Hind site says this was not such a fabulous reaction, however the first time you experience these hormonal rages you have no idea whatsoever as to what is going down. I thought I was rationalizing fine, turns out Wane almost walked away. He reconsidered and so did I. 




  • Later on when Andy Borah, Wayne and I had gone down to Holdrege (during the Andy & Tiff <3 era) for a family reunion, I was showering one morning and they took off. I flipped out again and wouldn't even ride with them to the hour away reunion, turns out they had gone to get McDonalds breakfast. I eventually felt bad when my hormonal high subsided. 


If you were to ask Wayne, Andy Carrie or Sonya, I am sure there were many other incidents however these two stick out as the highly irrational ones.

Camping at Harry's Trunk Lake











Fastest camp tear down ever!

Aftermath of Tornado in Holbrook
Before I knew what was actually going on Sonya and I had gone home for father's day and went jet-skiing, storm chasing an actual tornado, through inflatable obstacle courses and down steep fast slides. It wasn't until I began to feel a bit ill at the end of June that I began to suspect something could actually be happening this time. I made an appointment with my hometown doctor's office and made a long weekend out of it. I was to meet Wayne, Sonya and Andy at Lake Mac by Ogallala on the 2nd after my appointment. We were camping on the beach and had the whole 4th weekend planned out with jet-skiing, tubing, skiing, sand volleyball, fireworks, the works.










During the appointment there were suspicions and the doctor ordered some lab work. The results were not in by the time I was set to go so mom had me call.






















I had a nice 2 hour drive to Lake Mac to unwind my thoughts before meeting up with the gang. Once I got there I had Wayne jump in with me. He was reluctant and kept telling me to yell across the cars. FINALLY he climbed in. I put his hand on my stomach and said "THERE"S YOUR KID".




His face was priceless.



Pure excitement. He immediately told Andy as soon as the car was stopped. And I told Sonya. Our 2 besties.




and so it began......
