Getting back to it

My wife and I love to invite friends over to have dinner and play some games (usually board or card games). We have of late been terrible about it but we decided to get started again and try something new. Usually we invite over couples and as most of our friends are married. However, this weekend we decided to invite over some single friends. I ran into Kim the other day, from my home ward (or at least the ward I was in when I left on my mission) and invited her to come over. I learned that her brother, Kevin, is also up here these days and so invited him as well. They both brought over friends (Yeah Stephanie and Mekenzie) and we had lasagna and played a game called Loaded Questions. It was a lot of fun to have them over and catch up on, oh, 6 years.

Now we are working on my wife's birthday and we will see where we go from there. Yeah to fun games. By the way, Kim and Kevin don't think that you can get out of learning Bang! that easy.

Hearing

They say that you never know what you've got until you lose it. I would hope that it is not entirely true; however, with my hearing I would have to agree. I had many problems as a child with my hearing and suffered much at the mercy of my ears. Infections, tubes; oh, I did it. But that all happened so long ago that I don't remember it much.

When I got sick almost two weeks ago it was unpleasant but when I lost most of my ability to hear a few days ago it was disastrous. It turns out I picked up something that sometimes causes problems in your ears and so for me it did. I'm now on two antibiotics and neither once tastes very good. I hope these actually help because, as one who has taken antibiotics for no reason, I know the joys of being wrongly prescribed medication.
