Been Sick :(

John and I have been very sick for the past week!
I lost my voice last Wednesday when we were coming home on the plane and now (7 days later) I'm finally audible but still not back to normal by any means.  I have only completely lost my voice about 3 times.  The first time was in January 1999 when I took John to the Lincoln Airport to fly out to Korea for a year tour.  We had stayed up late talking and so I was very tire and decided I'd better take a little nap before heading back to Kearney to Grandma and Grandpa's  (August, Seth and I were living with them until John found us a place over in Korea).  This was before any of us had cell phones and caller ID so I was using a pay phone at a McDonald's to call Grandpa Carlson to let him know that I was stopping to take a nap.  I had to call 3 times because he kept hanging up on me thinking I was a prank caller!  I would be (literally) screaming "DAD!!! DAD!!!" into the phone but nothing would come out - I finally managed to let him know it was me and the rest is history! LOL
