Good news...

Wednesday night, I came home early from work because my eye was starting to get really irritated. I took my contacts out as soon as I got home, but it only seemed to get worse, and by morning, my eye was completely red, irritated, and watering like crazy. I called in sick to work and was miserable pretty much all day. I went to the doctor in the afternoon and he said I had pink eye...and that I'd have to miss another day of work. Friday night, our friends invited us over, but I was reluctant to go because the doctor had told me to cover my eye and try to keep it shut as much as possible (which I have never heard of with pink eye, but I think he was just covering all of his bases incase there was a scratch, also), so I had been wearing gauze patches over my eye. But they were like "don't worry about it, we'll just have a pirate party!" And sure enough, we got there and they were both all dressed up, they had old cigar boxes with jewelry hanging out of them like treasure chests, and they had pirate signs on their door! They even printed out a picture of a parrot and put a straw on the back of it to make it stand up and taped it to Jesse's arm...we didn't think they were THAT serious, but it was really fun!!!

So when I finally went back to work on Saturday, I got in and there were balloons and streamers all over the mirror at my station, and I thought "Awww, they put get well signs on my station", but when I went over, they had written on my mirror in dry erase markerr "Congratulations on your promotion"!!! I was really confused because I was under the impression that I still had to get my numbers up and I also thought I had to go in for an official interview with our DL. My boss called a little while later and confirmed that I had gotten the promotion, and she wanted to surprise me with the balloons and everything! Jesse and I are really excited about it, thank you all for your prayers!!!
