heart murmur

so on monday night, i noticed that my heart rhythm was a little off, like skipping a beat and then beating 2 really fast and then beating 3 or 4 times normally, repeat. this isn't that unusual for me, so i didn't worry about it. it usually only happens once every couple months and then goes away after like a minute. so i went to bed but the tuesday morning, it was still there. so i was like "brandan, you gotta feel my pulse!" and he did and was like, "that's not normal." so i called ask-a-nurse (step 2 if i can't figure out what's wrong with me on webmd) and i talked to like 4 nurses and finally the last one was like "you need to go to the er." so brandan took me in to the er and they took a bunch of blood and gave me an iv and did an ekg test and finally the doctor came in and told me i have a heart murmur, which isn't uncommon in women. i've probably had it my whole life and most people who have them have nothing to worry about. regardless, he wants me to see a cardiologist just to be sure it is nothing serious. those who have serious ones usually have to have one of the valves in their hearts replaced with a pig or cow heart valve. anyways i am going to the cardiologist in july. i am kind of excited because the doctor said he will probably do an ultrasound on my heart which seems like it might be kind of interesting.

i48 Kung-Fu Movie

So this is what I was able to come up with given the Kung-Fu Genre. The line we had to use was "Just Keep Them Coming." The prop was a Coffee Cup. Character was Larry Young that we had to use. I was proud of what I did in such a short period of time.

i48 competition

Brandan participated in the i48 competition last weekend. The i48 is a film competition in which you are given a genre, prop, character, line, and 48 hours to make a short movie using all of those components. We turned in the movie last Sunday night and then all of them were shown on the big screen at the Flicks on Saturday night (of course we couldn't go--the wedding) and then Sunday night they showed the "Best of" at the Egyptian and handed out awards. We went to the Best of but Brandan's video wasn't shown that night so we missed out on seeing it on the big screen. I thought his movie was great though. If you want to see it, he posted it on my family's blog in the links on the right under drHawkleys. Of the other movies we saw last night, some were pretty good but others were just lame and didn't make much sense.
This is Brandan, his partner Andy Campbell, and their main actor Scott at the beginning of the competition.

Bridesmaids

Hailey and Curtis got married this weekend! It was a busy one. Wes and Kierstin stayed with us as well as their baby Westin. It was a fun experience having a baby in the house for a couple days. Anyways on Friday, I took the day off from work and helped arrange flowers for the wedding. Hailey, Kelsey, Mary and I also went to the spa for some pampering which was so nice. The wedding was at 2 on Saturday and afterwards we went out to the dinner/reception at the Shores Clubhouse. It was a beautiful reception, they did a great job decorating. We helped take everything down afterwards and didn't get home until about 1:30.
