Craziness!!!

So quite a few things have happened these past few weeks! I will start with the good first: After a long search for a job Shaun finally found one! We have both been searching for jobs and it has been a long stressful search. It is nice to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am still searching and Shaun is trying to find a second job, luckily, both of us have also had quite a few interviews which is always a step forward when looking for a job. We also had the chance to go back to California again, to watch children while Shaun's parents went on a cruise. We had a lot of fun, and it is always nice to see family.
With all the good there has also been some not so good. Last Saturday we returned from California early in the morning. The entire day I felt miserable, battling nausea, a headache, and being extremely exhausted, and thought perhaps it was just because I didn't sleep well the night before. Well when all the symptoms lasted through the weekend and into this past week we started to think of all things that it could be. Being pregnant was our next guess, so Tuesday morning I took a test, after that was negative I started to get really frustrated, trying to figure out what was wrong with me. Thursday morning I FINALLY felt a little better, and by better I mean no headache! I was so thrilled. I went and visited my great grandparents, I had an interview, I was finally not laying on the couch in pain, and I was excited! Later that day Shaun and I went to feed my aunts dog and while there I felt like something was in my eye. Of course I looked in the mirror and examined closely, only to find that my eyes were YELLOWISH!!!! I told Shaun and of course we both proceeded to call our moms and ask what that meant. After that Shaun insisted we go to the ER-not something I was happy about AT ALL! Well about 2 hours later after being in the ER all that time we found out I have Mono, an enlarged spleen, and I am now being tested for hepatitis! Although I am glad we finally know whats wrong with me, its a huge downer because I hate being sick, and Mono isn't exactly a one week kind of virus. Although I am feeling fine I have been told to take it easy-not something I am good at! It's never any fun to be sick but the good these past few weeks have definitely been the highlights! Shaun and I are both so grateful for answered prayers, and I am especially grateful for a husband who has been able to give me a blessing through all this!
