we're pretty much super heroes ...

thanks to the vanderbilt travel clinic, we now have about 75% immunity! yesterday i received 2 vaccinations in my left arm and 3 in my right. and wade received 3 having already had lifetime immunity for polio and hep-a. and we're not quite finished. we'll each need to pick up a prescription for malaria pills plus anti-diarrhea pills (let's pray we don't have to use those!). and i need to get an updated tetanus shot.

typhoid ... √ we got this

yellow fever  ... √ no problem

meningitis ... √ bring it

hepatitis a ... √ you got nothing on these mundays

polio ... √ puh-lease

amazingly my 5 vaccinations wasn't a travel clinic record. something about a guy leaving for a job w/ national geographic getting 1 of everything. how awesome would that be!?!

wow - just talking about all of this makes my arm hurt. not to mention our wallet! 936 buckaroos later!!! (say a little prayer we can get some of that covered by our insurance!)

so ... want to know WHY we're getting doped up??? pretty excited to share our news TOMORROW! come on back, y'all.

love: i &hearts surprises!

remember this butterfly necklace i included on my oh okay ... i'll spend 500+ buckaroos on tires blog post {woah - what a name!}

{available on etsy now: my selvaged life}

well ... it ended up at my door last thursday!

i was shocked. i looked at wade - and then at the necklace - and then back to wade ... and admitted somehow accidentally i must have clicked "buy". pretty embarrassed that i could purchase a necklace and not even remember it!

then monday am, i went to get dressed and pick out the perfect outfit to compliment the new necklace. when it hit me ... maybe the etsy shop owner sent it bc i posted a blog about her necklace. {wishful thinking} i ran into the kitchen & pulled the receipt out of the trash.

the necklace wasn't from the etsy shop owner {duh!} ... but it was a sweet surprise from a sweet family member.

you know who you are. thank you. i love it.
