Robert and Shari live on several acres and Jason took me down on their property. On the way down the hill, the property is lined with blackberry bushes. In the summer, Jason said the kids just go crazy eating them! There is a creek that runs down the side of the property as well. We had a little fun "clearing" the path with a machete (another fun toy!) When we got to the bottom of the property, Jason said, "Jenna, look, dear!" They were so close! It was so amazing being down in that much nature!
Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me. "$61,000" she said. I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...
