A Break in Plainville!

On Wednesday evening I traveled to Allie's hometown of Plainville to finish my spring break with her and her family. There is just something about Plainville that feels like a retreat from the reality of the world I live in. On Thursday's Tonya(Allie's Mom) keeps Camden our nephew, it was great to spend Thursday with him in the morning before Allie and I went to our first marriage class. I had put a tremendous of thought into this class and felt very nervous about what we would talk about. Chris our minister for the wedding did a fantastic job of making me feel comfortable and let me ask several questions, which you would only expect from me. Thursday night we enjoyed one of my favorite meals only found in Plainville, Chesse Potatoes and Turkey. Friday morning brought a tremendous amount of worry to me as Allie had her wisdom teeth removed. I was overly concerned for her and often wished I could have switched places with her. She did a great job of coping with all of it and actually disappointed me by not say anything funny while she was coming off her anathesia. Saturday morning at 5:30 a.m. I woke Al up for her medicine and she gave me one of the worst scares of my life. She was standing in the kitchen talking to me and drinking juice, when out of know where she said "oh no". I looked at her and immediately sprinted to catch her before she fell to the ground. We are not certain what may have caused her to faint but needless to say she scared me to death. I did not sleep at all on Friday Night and Saturday Morning so I was ready for some breakfast. Terry (Allie's Father) and I left to head to the breakfast spot. Needless to say it was closed and I was disappointed. Terry and I then took all of the trash and recycling to the dump before making a few other stops. It was hard being away from Allie for that long but it was nice to spend some time with Allie's father. We are now twelve weeks from the wedding and our enthusiasm for our life together continues to build. Sunday, we made the travel back to Evansville and watched my Cardinals advance to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. Overall this weekend was a great weekend in Plainville, though I did not sleep well and simply need to catch up on rest. Congrats, to the ND Cougars on their run in the tournament and Go Cards! Thanks Austin and Beth for the ice cream on Saturday, it hit the spot and next time I will have cash and treat you.
