So I made a few updates to the site. I put all of the wedding info under the Wedding section. The homepage now contains the most recent blog entry, the most recent four photos that were posted, the most recent video posted, and the most recent guestbook entry. This will allow visitors to see if there has been any updated content on the site since their last visit. It also reconfigures the site to be about Kelsey and I in general instead of being just a dedicated wedding site, which I think is more useful in the long run.
Last weekend, Kelsey and I went camping with my parents. We went to the Ohiopyle State Campground and spent Friday and Saturday night there. Friday night, we had hot dogs and toasted pound cake topped with pudding and fresh berries.
We had toad-in-the-holes the next morning (bread with a hole cut in the middle and an egg dropped in the hole) with toast. Kelsey went rafting and my parents and I went for a seven mile walk on the rail trail out of Confluence. After the rail trail walk, we went for ice cream in Confluence and a snack at the Ohiopyle House Cafe. For dinner, Kelsey and I made taco salad and pizza mountain pies. We then went to the drive in movie theater to watch Transformers. Everyone enjoyed it.
Sunday morning, Kelsey and I made mountain pie pancakes, bacon, and home fried potatoes fried in the bacon grease with pineapple on the side. Kelsey went rafting again and my parents and I toured Fallingwater (one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s houses). We went for dinner at The Pub next to Wilderness Voyageurs across the river in Ohiopyle. My parents and I met up with Kelsey after she got of the river, said our goodbyes, and headed home. We all had a great time. It was the first time my mom had been camping in fifteen years.
Wednesday of this week, Kelsey got in a car accident. She hit her head pretty badly against the car window during the impact, and was taken to the emergency room in an ambulance. She was given some painkillers and they ran a CT scan on her to make sure there was no serious internal damage. They determined that the damage was limited to bruising on the outside of her head, and that she had a concussion. The ER put her on a regiment of ibuprofen and muscle relaxant and sent her home with me. I stayed home with her Thursday and Friday, since I had to make sure that for the first 48 hours she didn’t sleep for more than three hours at a time, and to make sure she took her drugs on the prescribed schedule. She’s doing much better now, even though she still has a headache from it. Luke stopped down in DC to pick up the car and take it back to Danville for repairs.
We stayed home this weekend as a result of the accident. We caught up on our sleep, and I got the new Harry Potter book at the midnight release party on Friday night at Politics and Prose. We have spent the weekend straightening up the apartment, reading, and relaxing. Oh, and updating the website. 🙂
