Jonathan just finished his first week as Dr. Olsen. The previous two weeks were full of orientation and trainings. So Monday he started in the ER, with patients, and it was rough. There were a lot of demands, and the stress of not understanding the computer system. But every day has been a little better, and I know the Lord has been blessing him.
But today has been crazy here at home. Two days ago, Jonathan noticed some thumping under the hood of his car, so we took his car in. So he's been using my car all day since Wednesday. But last night our air conditioner went out. It was very, very warm in here. So we called our property management and they said they would send out their air conditioner guys first thing in the morning. We didn't sleep well and Janie woke up sick, with a runny nose. At 8 am, I called to make sure that the property managers were really on top of our situation (there is a heat advisory out today). At 9 am, the A/C guy called to say that someone would be by between 2 and 5 pm. I begged him to come earlier, but they were booked solid but he promised to send someone out today. The problem was that Jonathan had my car and had forgotten to take out the car seats before he left for work, so we were stuck with no car and no car seats. So my sweet sister-in-law and mother-in-law were going to rearrange their entire day to help us get the car seats and get to a cooler place. But at 10 am, the A/C guy called saying that he had an opening and could come by. I almost started crying, I knew it was a tender mercy from a loving Heavenly Father. By the time the A/C guy had our house cooling down, Janie had a fever of 102.1. Then Jonathan texted me that the car was going to cost $800 to fix. I started feeling depressed, but then the Lord reminded me of my blessings. Jonathan got his first paycheck yesterday, so we have the money to fix the car. And our house is now very cool, and Janie will be better in a couple of days. And I have an in-house doctor taking care of us. So even though it's been crazy today, I know that Heavenly Father is watching over us. And now the house is quiet and I am glad today is over.
Tomorrow I will wake up, ready to play and take care of these cuties. I obviously need to turn off the flash in my camera, but I love the smiles. And I love that they look and act alike.

It's rough how sometimes it seems like everything wrong happens at the same time. But good for you for looking at the blessings! I hope Janie feels better soon!
I'm so grateful to know that the Lord knows of every little or huge thing that happens in our lives. I'm glad that He was watching over you! I'll be praying for Janie!
Oh Chrissy, I wish I had been there to help. Next time come over to cool off. Your girls could play and we could visit :)
So glad everything worked out!! Love those moments when we are able to recognize the Lord's hand in our lives. There is so much comfort in those moments.
Chrissy, I'm so sorry to read about your crazy day! Those types of days are so hard and overwhelming. I wish you'd gone over to our house to cool off! (But I understand if you didn't because it's all in boxes). I hope Janie is better now, and glad that things are getting easier for Jonathan. AND, so glad that you'll be able to get your car fixed!! Can't wait to see you in a few days - we miss you. Wish I'd have been there to help out!! Love you.
I'm glad your trying day turned out well. I know that "Dr. Dad" will take good care of Janie.
Man, I hate days like that!! Glad everything worked out and you are one lucky woman!!
One behalf of your hometeacher, my husband I shall offer my assistance to you in times of trial and extremely heated situations. ☺
(Seriously, why didn't you call me? You know I have no life and live for your call.)
-Glad everything is A-OK though! Whew!-
