Andy and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary this week. This week was a good sample of how our marriage has been with lots of ups and a some major downs. Monday morning we took Beverly to the burn unit. Unfortunately they told us she needed a debridement. To prevent trauma and unnecessary pain, they …
I’ve felt a little bit like one of those bobble dolls that gets knocked down, only to get back up again before getting knocked back down. Beverly has been going through some tests, nothing serious, but it looks like she may have another UTI. I’m curious to how the urologist is going to treat this, …
I got a phone call on Friday from my kids’ schools. “Your kid has missed a whole week of school.” I replied, “Yes, I’m aware.” “I hope it isn’t anything too serious,” she replied. “Well, y’all don’t want them, if that’s what you mean. They have had fevers the whole week.” “Well, we hope they …
And so it begins! Andy had a training this week for his upcoming deployment. He finished a few honey do’s so I could get my bathroom back in order and stop getting letters from the HOA about some items we’d sat to the side of our house that needed to be taken to the dump. …
Harvey’s face pretty much sums up my emotions for this week. Where do I even start? I guess we’ll start at the beginning which wasn’t horrible and had some good, but also some annoying/ worrying moments. Friday of last week I was driving around and my oil light popped on. When I got home, Andy …
It’s been a pretty busy week from house projects, doctor appointments, daddy-daughter date, and a temple trip, but mostly good things! Beverly and Andy had an absolute blast at the daddy daughter dance. Beverly and Afton decided last minute that they wanted it to be a double date, so Andy got to hang out with …
We got to celebrate Andy this week! He told me he didn’t want a party, but the kids pretty much planned his party for him. We went to one of Andy’s favorite restaurants: Panda Express, then went to the kid’s choice of a movie: DogMan. Andy is truly a selfless person and an amazing Dad. …
This time the kids didn’t just miss half a day for snow, they missed two and a half days! I know that people in the north will laugh that life stopped when we got less than three inches, but what they don’t understand is that we don’t have snow plows, snow tires, or even salt …
We had a blast celebrating Maverick on Saturday. Usually I am the one who plans and organizes the birthday parties, but Andy got a 3D printer for Christmas (which has been printing nearly non-stop since then) and wanted to use it to plan activities for Maverick’s birthday as well as print the goodies for the …
Though New Year’s Eve was last week, I didn’t have it in me, physically or emotionally to write in my blog. I was spent. The Saturday before New Years, Maverick got sick with a stomach bug. We all felt a little yucky Sunday so decided we’d better stay home to prevent spreading anything. It was …
