Warm Cozies!

As i sit down on the computer a question comes to mind..."what to blog, what to blog?". I sat here thinking through my day and when i was the happiest and this is what i came up with...

Every Thursday night my lil family have superman night with some dear friends. This is a fab tradition which i literally married into because my husband and our friends were going strong LONG before i ever came into the picture lol! Thursday night isn't just to watch some guy zip around saving the day in tights (superman), it is two families coming together in fellowship and love. Tonight was extra special to me. I had just finished a very hard and draining day and the moment i walked into our friends' house i honestly felt immersed with comfort and love. I can honestly sit here and say that i felt all my worries and stress melt. Everything was so inviting...the smell of waffles baking, children playing, and friends laughing....what else could i ask for. People sadly go through life never really having that feeling of acceptance and love. Im lucky, i get to feel it everyday!!! Thank you!

Some more exciting news is that i am leaving for a woman's retreat tomorrow night after work. Please do not ask me where because i can't tell you. No, really, i don't know where it's at. I just signed up and said "whoo hoo"! It's by a lake and that's about all she wrote. Im car pooling with some ladies from church who went last year so i am in good hands! Im just sad that im leaving my husband and son, But God will take care of them while im away playing!

House of Sickies!

Ah tis the season of the flu! I woke up this morning feeling good as new, I thought everyone did until 11Am hit. Michael started to bawl, then throw up, and then the fever hit! poor boy has been miserable ever since! He is now on his 3rd nap which isn't normal for him. BUT on the brighter side..HE IS SEIZURE FREE! I just got the phone call today!! i was in shock for a second than i started to tear up! That's the first time ever that he has had those test results have came back to back!!! i honestly think he is free of it now! That God has lifted the seizures away from him! Only God is able to do that, not doctors, not Andy and I, Just the Lord and i am SOOOO thankful for that!

Soo...

I GOT THE JOB!!!!! i actually had my first day yesterday and it went really well! The employees that i have met are super nice and it was just a good atmosphere to be in! It's such a nice change to have, to actually be excited about going to work!!! Also a cool tidbit, apparently the Gap was chosen to have Matt White come and preform in the store! How cool is that?! For those who don't know who he is, he is an artist who sounds a lot like john Mayer, just with a smidge of Pop. Good stuff!!

Now on the downside...im sick! All last week, the men in my life (my hub and son) were sick and i was doing everything possible not to catch it. But of course my family is the sharing type and around 2am this morning it hit me:( I will be alright, i just need to go to bed early tonight and take some meds and i will be hunky dorey in the morning!

i had lots more to talk about but honestly i forgot what i had to say...my head just hurts and i want to go to bed lol

GOODNIGHT!!!

Keep your fingers crossed!

Hey 'all!
Today was a great day! I went into the Gap downtown looking around and turns out they are hiring! YAY for me! For those who don't know im very sick of American eagle and things that are going on there so i have been looking for a new job. I turned in a app and they asked me to come in tomorrow for an interview! Im praying that i get this job. More hours, family friendly, close to home, good deal huh?Well below are some pictures from a day at the park! Good times!

Cha-cha-CHANGES!!!

Today was a day to start new! This morning we woke up for Michael's E.E.G. at 5:45 AM (i was half dead)..As we headed to the hospital i was calm which is a huge deal because usually i am in tears, feeling nauseous, but not today. We went to Starbucks and faced the hospital strong. I honestly feel like that will be the last E.E.G for Michael for a LONG time. He is going to be great and the tests will come out great:) I just know it!

Now for the second changed. I am Smarter ladies and gents. yes, that's right, I'm a Brunette now:) Today i decided that i was bored with my blond and i went dark....REALLY dark! Its a shock when i look in the mirror but i love it! And what makes me feel even better is that Andy loves it! I was alittle worried about that since last time i changed my color he wasn't really a fan! lol.

And now for what i think might be the biggest change....we are seriously considering buying a house. Now this isn't just any house. This is a home where a great family lives. We actually spend every other Thursday in the home. I know that i can call this place home. Its warm, cozy, in a great place and i know that the family there now put their whole heart into this home. Its blessed. When Andy and i got home from our superman night we sat down and had a serious talk and we came to the same conclusion...that we need to start making some phone calls. We love the idea and the home, the only thing that we need to check is to make sure we can afford it month to month, AND to make sure everything works out with our lease here at the apartments. We will starting to make the calls tomorrow. We know that if the Lord wants us to have this house everything will work out for everyone!

All in all, change is grand! and it has been a whopper of a day!!!

Random!

So at 11:30pm LAST NIGHT we received a knock on our door. Andy and i immediately looked at each other with amazement that someone would actually be bothering us at that time at night! Of course i made my husband open the door and to his surprise and mine we found two 19 year old girls on the other side. I do not know them, Andy does not know them, but apparently they wanted to get to know my HUSBAND...not me! I was in the living room when i heard them talking and my i went to the door once i heard the girls voices, and flirting with Andy, so you bet they were shocked when they saw me come to the door. The look on there faces were like "oh darn!". I was nice and continued to talk to them and offered my hand to meet them and that's when the warnings in my belly went off. The girls started asking questions about our apartment. One of the girls actually kept on trying to come in but i told her she couldn't....but she kept on inching in so i blocked her. They started to ask questions like "wow is this a new doorknob?", ""wow are those new appliances?, and ect. They were leaning into our house trying to get a look around. Not cool. That was the second warning in my tummy.... I tried to shut the door but my husband asked them why they came knocking on our door and they said, "well we live in the apartments next to our complex and they saw your lights on and decided to come say hi"....in order to see our lights on they would have to be standing OUTSIDE our window on our street....where there are no apartments in the middle of the road...warning number 3! Seriously they would have to be standing outside to look in, i may understand it if they were walking, but they drove there car here so makes no sense. Than they started to ask if we had kids and if anyone else in the apartments had kids...maybe they were trying to do small talk..but come on now...no one in the right mind comes knocking on ANTONE'S door at 11:30 PM. I felt like they were scoping out Andy, our apartment, and they were asking too many questions so i literly said by and shut the door. This morning i called the landlord to let them know because something didn't feel right...could be paranoid. I hope im just paranoid. But better safe the sorry! And if they come back late at night, THEY ARE GOING TO BE SORRY. i wont be that nice lol?

Why oh Why

Sleep...its a BEAUTIFUL thing. Dont you just love to cuddle up in bed, shut your eyes and dream? I know i do, but lately my little T-rex wont allow this to happen? He will sleep for only 25 minutes during the day and when he is awake he screams...i tried feeding, singing, changing, rocking, playing, teething tablets..anything and everything and nothing seems to work. So im Kinda wondering it could be a ear infection...good thing we are going to the doctors tomorrow.Love my son, Love my sleep....now why cant they love each other? lol.

Moody

So why are girls so darn emotional? seriously, these few days i have been like a roller coaster...happy, sad, ecstatic, outraged, than back to happy, sad...well you get the point. im not sure whats going on, and no i am not pregnant lol. Like here is an example..last night i was just sitting here checking my email and i found myself feeling really lonely! I have no reason to feel like that. I have a great husband and a beautiful son...why should i feel lonely? But non the less the feeling stuck with me all night. I confided to my husband and he did his best to get me out of my funk, and he did a good job trying, but as i laid my head down on the pillow the feeling came back...seriously being a girl sometimes just sucks. And then there was today...I got up early and played with Michael, went to the mall to run son errands, came home and had a nap, than played outside a bit with Gracin and his mom. The day was going great until one sentence changed my mood. My husband came in and asked if he could go to the movies with the guys this Saturday...Normally i would get upset like i am, but i kinda felt hurt. Just last night he asked if i would like to go out on a date this Saturday to a movie. I was excited for it, and he forgot about it. When i reminded him of it he gave me a disappointed look and turned to the guys and said "sorry guys the wife said no"....So basically i feel sad, mad, and alone, all over again. I know im probably being too emotional and over reacting right now. but thats just how i feel. Ugh!

Here comes the sunshine:)

Last Friday my husband decided that we should pack up and 'runaway' to the boathouse! Oh how do i love that man! The trip was amazing. Beautiful naps, yummy food, card games and some awesome weather! Not to mention the company wasn't to bad either (my parents). I must say i felt quite spoiled, i got to spend not one but TWO weekends with my parents! YAY for me!

Wonderful weekend of Parents!!!

This Labor Day Weekend was a success if i do say so! My Parents came down from good ol' Oregon and had a jam packed weekend of shopping and love!! Sunday we went to lunch at Tomato Street and michael pretty much ate everything my dad ordered. we are talking about lasagna, tomato basil soup, garlic bread and water...yeah that made for a REAL good blow out (diaper) that night (which he was forced to change)! Than michael went with my hubby and dad while mother and i went off on our way to Khols in the valley. We got there at 3 and we didnt leave till 7pm so just imagine how much fun we had. Than later that night we had dinner and settled in for a movie. Today the whole family (minus andy) went BACK TO KHOLS to finish our shopping, we spent another 2 hours there! That store has officially became my favorite!!! Than we to post falls to the Ashley's Furniture store so my parents could go crazy and redecorate their house and boy did they have fun! Once we were done with shopping we relaxed for a few hours, talked, ate lunch, than it was time for some sad goodbyes:( Tonight andy's family, michael, jack, and i went to the Indians game...WHAT FUN!! we were dancing, clapping and cheering. Michael LOVED IT! Now we are home exhausted from a busy weekend and ready to pass out, But before you do i would like to ask for some prayers, Last night andy's uncle Bob Died of a heart attack. Andy and his mother were close to Bob and it has been hard for them. Please just keep them in your prayers and help them to know that Uncle Bob is in a great place. Thanks and Loves!
