Spending time with my Hubby in DC


Well, Christopher is in DC and is back from deployment and is getting treatment on his foot for his leishamaniasis. I was fortunate enough to be able to go and visit him this past weekend; I flew out on Thursday and came back on Sunday evening (they lost my bag) and was back to the grind. On Friday we went into downtown DC and hit up the Spy Museum, that was really cool and went over to Shaun and Nickie's for pizza. It was really good to see them and see how well Shaun is doing. I was lucky I got to meet little Trevor! Can we say adorable. :) He is a true Meadows. On Saturday my parents were able to meet up with us and we went and walked around DC to the Monument, White House, Reflection Pond and the new World War II Memorial; that was really neat as well. Then we met up with an old friend Greg McIlvaine and watched Vandi play and then were off to Rock Bottom to watch LSU get stomped by Florida (sorry baby :(...after a long day hit the bed; on Sunday we spent the day in Georgetown and were able to check out the National Cathedral--AMAZING! It is the 4th largest cathedral in the world and has a lot of history. After that hung out by the water and got some Ice Cream. His foot is nasty, but seems to be doing better with the treatment. He has to go in every day for 20 days and get an IV of steroids/antibiotics, it is starting to make him a little sleepy during the day, but the good news is that his swelling has gone down and they believe the sore is getting better and isn't as deep as it used to be. He will be home by the end of October and I cant wait to have him around, just spending three days with him was not enough. That is all I have for now--Heather will be here tomorrow for a visit until Monday! I am looking forward to seeing her and 6 month prego belly! :)
