LIFE HAPPENS!!

Hello to all!!

2 more classes down and 2 more to go and then I am an official graduate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jacob turned 4 on Monday, September 14th! I can not believe it. We had his party on Sunday and let me tell you the child came out with so much stuff I still don't think he has gotten through it all.

Once school is over, I have alot of catching up to do. First, Mary Kay and then scrapbooking! I have some of the most amazing Mary Kay customers!! I just want to tell you all that you are amazing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sticking with me. I promise my Christmas's Open Houses this year are going to be awesome!!! You will love the SALES!!

As for scrapbooking....lets just put it this way, I have picture from two Christmas's ago that I have not scrapbooked yet. OOPSS!! My next investment is going to be Cricut. They are so neat and it would come in so handy. But I can decide between a Cricut Create Personal and the new Expression. If anyone has any advice, feel free to give me some. I need it.

Well that is all for now, I promise to post pics soon.

Wedding Update!!

So it has been a while since I have posted an update on the wedding. Well the official wedding date is May 8, 2010. We now are less than a year away. YIKES!! Time flies. We have come to the crazy decision that we are going to make our own invitations and programs.

Our colors are going to be bright orange and fuscha pink. Yep, it is going to be bright!!!

I have slowly started collecting gerber daisys and things from Hobby Lobby and JoAnn's but.......we still have a long way to go.

But we will get there...no worries!!!

I will keep you posted.

I HATE SCHOOL!!

I just took finals and wrapped up class for E-Marketing and Western Civilization II. Can you say "YUCK"? School is kicking my butt. I am so ready for it to be over but only 4 classes left and Rachel is DONE! Then I will officially be GRADUATED!!!!! Alleluia!!!

The next 8 week segment starts August 10th so I get a couple of weeks in there for a break. AMEN!!! Then I start Music Appreciation and Marketing Research. YIPPEE!!!!!

New Addition to the family!!

Sorry I have fallen off the face of the earth. I promise I am here. Life seems to be just flying by.

Well, we have a new addition to the family to announce!!!!

Her name is Chloe and she is a 12 week old Pomerainian puppy. I know who would have thought they would see the day that Rachel had a house dog. But.....she is sooooooooooo cute and her personaltiy is amazing!! Plus Jacob loves her!!

Allergies!!!!

I guess it is that time of year again.....allergies. Jacob nor I have really been affected in the past by allergies...well not this year.

Yep....swollen, puffy and watery eyes...sneezing and snotting. Does it ever end??!!!!

Poor guy, there are times, if he doesn't take his allergy medicine on time, his poor eye will swell almost completly shut. But he doesn't let it get him down... he keeps on truckin'.

He definitely has his mommy in him!!

MEN.......

So last week was a week from who knows where. Last Friday night, I came home to Brad on the couch with severe stomach pains and vomiting. Knowing me, I immediately thought it was the flu but as time passed his pain got increasingly worse. Needless to say, we ended up the the ER until 1AM. That night morphine had become his best friend.

Saturday and Sunday he stayed pretty commatosed with Vicatin and muscle relaxers. AMEN for MEDS!!!!

Monday we had an outpatient Hida Scan done which tested the function of his gallbladder. Wednesday was a trip to the General Surgeons office. Hida Scan and ultrasound came back normal. WOW!! Now what!!

Friday on to a EGD (tube down the throat). Results.......6 ulcers (1 big one), a hyedel hernia, and Gastroesophal Disease. All caused by acid reflux. YEAH, what a day!!

So what does that mean for Brad......quit chewing, watch calcium intake, reduce alcohol and caffeine consumption. After being told all of this, he asked the doctor only one question....."Can I at lease eat my greasy foods"????????!!!

GO FIGURE TYPICAL MAN!!
