Christmas

Christmas has come early this year due to different work schedules with family members. We celebrated with Brad's family in Quincy on Dec. 20th. It was fun this year to have Brett's girlfriend there. Brad's grandma always does a good job of decorating and cooking. Breakfast was great! Today, Brad and I did Christmas with his parents at 1100am and then Christmas with my family at 700pm. Ashley and I both have to work tomorrow morning, and then we will all be heading to Alabama. Brad will get to test out his new Tom-Tom(GPS) on the drive. I'm kinda excited about work tomorrow because I can wear holiday scrubs instead of my normal, boring uniform.

We gave Brad's parents coats for their little dogs. They actually didn't mind wearing them and were soo cute. It's been fun being at my parents this year. In Christmas movies, the grown kids always come home to visit, but since we live in the same town that was never going to happen. Well ,it did this year :)

Back in the nest :)

Due to the house repairs, Brad and I are staying at my parents house. It's been alot of fun. Matthew's having a blast with us being here, he's thinks it's supposed to be a none stop party, lol! I've been riding to work with Dad, it's nice not to drive myself that early in the morning. Dad's also made me lunch for the last 2 days, which was much better than what I normally eat at work and healthier! Our air mattress is actually pretty comfortable, so no complaints :) Thank goodness today was Brad's last final, that stress on top of everything else was almost too much. I'm off for the weekend and intend to enjoy it! Tomorrow night we're going to a Christmas party for the hospital, then Saturday night is my dept's party. FUN, FUN, FUN!!!

Water, water everywhere

Well, we went from no water running to our house, to water running all over our house. We woke up Sunday morning to water overflowing from the wash machine (we're not placing any blame on our friends that gave us the washer, accidents happen) that is located upstaires. There was water in the upstaires hallway and both spare bedrooms. Upon traveling downstaires, we found that it was raining in the hall, bathroom, and dining room. Our new light fixture in the bathroom had become a water fall! Thank goodness we were given a surplus of towels when we got married, because we used them all! Basically, the only rooms not affected are our bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and half the living room. We called a company that brought in approx 15 heavy duty fans and dehumidifiers yesterday to dry things out. Today they are ripping apart the walls and floors to dry out the insides. We're still not sure of the extent of damage, but thank goodness for house insurance. Being a homeowner is so much fun!

Where has the water gone?

We had an exciting night last night. I arrived home from work to the washing machine making a weird noise. At first, we thought it was clogged, then we moved on to broken. Luckily it was neither of these, but our lovely well pump had decided to stop working :( That meant no water at all running to the house. Not fun! No showers, no washing clothes/dishes, flushing toilets, etc. Unfortunately, we have not yet started our storage of water for our 3 month supply, so we had to make a run to the store for jugs of water. Thankfully, we have been blessed with finding an excellent well service from back when we moved into our house. They arrived first thing this morning, and as I type, are working to replace our well pump. If you ever need well service the company is Mills Well's. I will be soo happy when we have water in the house again!

RedBoxing it up!!!

Brad and I made a new discovery this week at Wal-Mart, the RedBox machine! Another great idea that makes us go, why didn't we think of that? The RedBox is basically a vending machine for movies. $1 a day, plus tax, to rent some of the latest movies out. It's great! So long Blockbuster!

Free Hannah Overton

I wanted to bring attention to a case I saw on 2020 on ABC Friday night. I'm including the link so that ya'll can read about the details if interested. Hannah is a 30 year old mother of five who was convicted in September, 2007 of capital murder in the death of Andrew Burd, the four year old child that she and her husband Larry were adopting from the foster system. After seeing the show and reading the info on this web site, I don't believe that this woman is guilty. I believe she should be granted a re-trial.Go to this website and form your own opinion.
