rocky mountain fever

So.... today I got my first tick! I noticed it at around noon today and was finally actually unpacking some of the last boxes from when we moved 11 months ago and I just thought it was a piece of dirt so I brushed off my foot and didn't think anything of it. Well about an hour after that I looked again at my foot and that piece of dirt was still there. Then I looked closer and totally freaked out. Found my phone, called Daniel and asked what I should do. He told me what to do and I was totally grossed out. All I could think of was that I was going to get rocky mountain fever and be really sick! Of course there was no way I was going to pull that thing out of my foot by myself to I started thinking of all the people who were close to my house. Val and Daniel were out of the question because they were both at work, Caitlyn was too. I called Diane but she didn't pick up so then I called Phillip. He picked up and just happened to be headed home at the time. So I went to his house and he got the thing off my foot. It all came out in one piece... thank goodness. I guess today was my lucky day. It hadn't put its head in my skin yet....... GROSS!!!!
Anyways, later today Roni, Stephen, and Grandma are going to be here delivering furniture from Stephen's fathers house. So that is why I was unpacking the remaining boxes from the house.
