I’m so thankful for my sweet husband, our warm & cozy home, my family, friends, church, and all that God has given us.

It’s no secret that Jer’s eyes close at 9:30pm on the dot every night (that we’re at home). Please limit experimentation of this fact.

Tonight, just a few minutes ago, he sat up and said, “I thought I was sitting on the TV composite.”

Oh the joys of a techy husband. His brain is jumbled with tech phrase-ology, that he in fact dreams in it.

I love you sleeping jer, and awake jer. all the time, really.

My sister just recently made it into an article in the News & Observer about the H1N1 pandemic.

You can see the article here. But also, to make it easy here is the blurb that features my sister:

Volunteers will be evaluated for health and other qualifications, Grach said, and those chosen to participate will be monitored for the vaccines’ potency and side effects for at least a year.

Neither of the H1N1 flu vaccines being tested include live virus, so participants have no risk of developing influenza from them.

Kirby Dibb, 25, of Raleigh, said she participated in a trial of seasonal flu vaccine last fall at Wake Research, and said she also got her husband and other family members involved.

Dibb said she was given a health screening and interview, and then she was closely monitored for several days and weeks after getting the shot. She was also directed to call the research agency if she developed any symptoms, including flu, but she never got sick. She said she was paid $450 for participating.

Now she is planning to volunteer for the H1N1 vaccine tests this summer — but it’s not about the money. She said she wants to make a contribution to society.

“It’s important to have the vaccine,” Dibb said. “It’s definitely a worthwhile cause.”

So famous!
