Catch-Up with the Carney's

Here is a rundown of what in the world the Carney's have been up to lately:

As some of you know, I work from home and from time to time I get to travel to different conventions and conferences. As I type this, I am sitting in my hotel room in Brookfield, Wisconsin! I am here with two co-workers for the American Legion Convention. I drove out here Thursday (8/26) and had the three days leading up to my trip all planned out - hair cut and color, laundry, etc. But, Adam had other plans for me...

Adam was admitted to the hospital on Monday after work. Before I continue, he is home and is doing just fine :) Adam has been having some episodes of rapid heart rates and has been wearing a heart monitor the last week. His doctor called and asked him to come to the U of M hospital and be admitted over night so they could observe him. Long story short, what he has is not life threatening, just annoying and can be corrected by medications, which he is now taking. I am sure there is a term for what his condition is, and of course my brain is not remembering it right now.

Now for some better news, we have a closing date for our house - September 23rd! It is so crazy that it is less than a month away!!! And 7 days after that, my parents will be here :) All our selections for the house are finished, I think we just have to meet with the landscaper.

As I mentioned earlier, I am in Wisconsin for work. It's been fun to in a new city and spend the day talking to veterans. My dad served in the Air Force for 23 years, so I have a soft spot for veterans and what they have done for our country. And of course we've been eating some great food - Milwaukee Brat House, Major Goolsby's, Glass Nickel Pizza, and of course Wisconsin's own, Culver's! And tomorrow we are going to the Harley Davidson Museum. I love traveling, but I with Adam was here. I told him we have to come back to Milwaukee so I can see and do everything.

On our horizon is the Minnesota State Fair! Last year was my first year going, so this year we will have a better idea of what to see, and more importantly, what to eat! I already know we will be stopping at Sweet Martha's for sure :)
