Sealing Day and a Scare

We recently celebrated four years since becoming a forever family.

Four years since our sealing in the Mesa AZ temple.

Happy!

We had some grand plans to celebrate.

On a whim the night before

Kacin and I bought a cake from the grocery store.

We never go and buy our cakes,

but thank goodness we did

because those grand plans were quickly changed 

due to the events of Sunday morning.

So having that cake already made 

was a lifesaver 

and ended up being the only piece of our celebration.

You see,

we went to church in the morning.

And Eric passed out there.

He's going to love that I'm sharing this story.

(Sorry, E!)

But this blog becomes our family book of history

and I need to record 

why all we have from our Fourth adoption/sealing anniversary

is this terrible picture of everyone.  

Seriously, I shouldn't even post it here.
It makes me wish I knew how to edit pictures.

Here's what happened on Sunday.

I was subbing with Eric in nursery.

Around 11 am, he started feeling dizzy.

By 11:30, he was nauseous 

and so he left for the bathroom.

He got stopped in the hall by someone

and started talking.

And that's when he fell to the floor.

The lady he was talking to ran to get me.

Some others in the hall

saw what happened and thought he was having a seizure.

When I got there, 

he was passed out and shaking and started to throw up.

We got him on his side and that's when he came to.

He tried to tell everyone he was fine.

But we needed to be sure.

Thank goodness for kind people

who helped with kids

gave a priesthood blessing

put dinner in the oven

and hung out with me at our house until we knew what to do.
I took him to the walk in clinic
and we concluded
it was just a crazy stomach flu.
It just came on so suddenly
and gave everyone a little scare.
By Tuesday, he was one hundred percent better
except for a little headache from hitting the floor.
It was the weirdest thing,
but how grateful we are that it was nothing serious.

Though the possibility that it was something serious
really does put things in perspective
and makes you want to love those around you a little more
and be a little better.
I love my Eric and my boys and my two littles with us now
and I am so glad to be part of this eternal family.
