A long time ago, in a distant land, there lived two sisters. These sisters were more like friends, really; they spent almost everyday together. Their lives changed somewhat, however, when the older sister, Meagan, went off to college.
After studying for awhile at her first choice, Meagan realized that she was not happy at her school. She was convinced to transfer to BYU-Idaho and was so happy with her decision.
Meagan fell madly in love with her boyfriend, Chris (who lived not too far away in a place called Blackwill). After dating long enough, Chris finally proposed.
Meagan was ecstatic to have a beautiful diamond sitting on her ring finger - and of course, to be marrying the man of her dreams.
There was a lot to do while planning for their upcoming wedding. Meagan and Chris took their engagement pictures beneath a rugged willow tree.
They bought a cute red jetta that fit their price and their needs.
Meagan felt so lucky to be marrying a man who came from such a great family. She knew Linda would be a great Mother-in-Law.
Meagan and Chris were married in the Boston Temple on a bright, beautiful day and could barely control their joy!
Only three years after her older sister graduated from high school, the younger sister, Malley, followed in her footsteps and went off to college too.
After studying for awhile at her first choice, Malley realized that she was not happy at her school. She was convinced to transfer to BYU-Idaho and was so happy with her decision.
Malley fell madly in love with her boyfriend, Chris (who lived not too far away in a place called Blackwill). After dating long enough, Chris finally proposed.
Malley was ecstatic to have a beautiful diamond sitting on her ring finger - and of course, to be marrying the man of her dreams.

Meagan and Chris, and Malley and Chris lived happily ever after.
Moral of the story: a good life deserves to be lived twice.

Our day: I arrive sometime around 9 am. Chris gets up and takes a few laps around the floor (it's really good for him to walk). He gets his vitals checked, they bring him a lunch of broth and juice that he doesn't drink, we walk again. I eat lunch with my brother Derek. Chris tries to sleep, I try to read, he gets up and walks again. Chris writhes in pain because he's extremely bloated and it's difficult to think, the nurse changes his IV bag, we walk again. We watch TV, we walk again. I leave at 11 pm - we get up and do it all over.
After 6 days of this, we're getting pretty comfortable here in the hospital, but we're also getting irritable and ready to go. 
Yesterday afternoon Chris ate food for the first time since last Monday night (5 1/2 days without eating!) Thank goodness for PB & J and tapioca pudding!
