Well it's been about two weeks since our last update, so I thought I better catch everyone up. Don't worry though you all haven't missed much. This past week has not been a fun one that's for sure. Mike woke up Sunday morning not feeling so well. By Monday myself and Tasha were sick also we are not sure if it was just the flu plus a head cold or what. I attempted to go to work Monday morning, but only made it about noon. Then the rest of the week was all down hill it seems. I didn't go to work at all, but I would have rather than feel like crap. On Thursday and Friday I had such a sore throat I didn't have any kind of a voice. It slowly came back on Saturday. Saturday I was feeling much better and so I worked out for about an hour in the morning. Then Mike and I decided to start organizing certain rooms. On Saturday we tackled the "junk" drawers downstairs and the office/sewing room. We decided to help the room look less cluttered we would move my sewing machine table and everything into the closet. It does fit perfectly. I have a shelf on one side of the table that has all of my fabric folded up on it, my patterns, and projects that I am working on. Then on the other side of the table is a couple of bins that has other projects I am working on, like my high school memory quilt and a monkey quilt I started making a couple of years ago. It does work out nicely, you can have the doors shut while I am not sewing and it looks very clean, then when I do want to sew I just pull up the extra computer chair and sew away. We then went through all of our school books and figured out which ones we want to keep and which ones we are going to sell. We also went and bought some selves and bookends to help organize everything. It looks great, so hopefully it stays that way when school starts and we get busy. Mike and I are both planning on taking 12 credits each. We are actually going to take two of the same classes I think. It should make it easier and fun to study together. While I was home sick from work last week I started cutting and out and sewing baby clothes. Mike jokes around and says that I must be running a sweat shop or something because I was making clothes left and right. So far I think I have made about 10 or so jumpers, all different colors. I have a couple more of those to make and then a couple of pair of overalls, dresses, and pant/shirt outfits. I also am going to make matching hair pieces for most of the outfits. I guess since I am not a girly-girl, then I will make our little girl one. I am always painting Addison's finger nails, so I am sure I will be painting our little girls from the get-go. I am getting excited for the baby to come though. I only have 3 months left of work, well actually less than that because the 31st of July marked the 3 month mark. Halloween will be the last day I will be working, unless the baby decides to come way early. I would love to be able to be done earlier because sitting all day causes a lot of extra pains for me. More exciting news for the family is that Ariana will be having a baby on the 25th of Feburary and Angie, our sister-in-law, will be having a baby on February 2nd. So our families are growing very quickly and it's so exciting. Well Tasha has been staying with us for the past week or so and it's been great fun, although I don't really see her all that much. She has been at our neighbors a lot. She has been working out with Jami, the neighbor everyday and also she has started deep cleaning her house. In turn for her cleaning, Jami is going to pay for Tasha to get a new hair color and cut. The big day for that is this Thursday, so ready or not dad, or little girl is coming home different. Mike's parents came up on Saturday to look at lots because they are moving here in a year. They didn't make it to our house until about 9:30 at night, but that's ok because Mike and I were busy cleaning and then putting in ceiling fans at Jami's house. Sunday we went to church and then did the chill Sunday thing. We did go up and have lunch with Mike's sister Lish and her family along with Mike's parents. After that we hung out with Ana, Jonathan, Addison, and Jami. We played games and then just chatted while the boys played play station. To catch you all up and the drama with the neighbor, things have gotten worse. The lady has decided that she will stand at her door and just scream at Jami calling her names and such all the time. Also she has decided that anytime Jami leaves her house she is needs to come out on her porch and watch and listen to everything. Finally Jami called the police to make a complaint. They really couldn't do anything unless the neighbor comes into her yard or her dog does. The police did talk to the neighbor and tell her to stop yelling at her and to just leave her alone. Well the lady didn't like that so she called and made a complaint about the police officer. So now the whole thing will probably end up in court. So Jami is having to get written statements from everyone stating everything they have witnesses. I hope that the lady will just move, but who knows. Jami has a feeling that she is going through Jami's mail and her garbage, so we all will be getting paper shredders soon, to help protect us. Because who knows if she is doing it to ours or not. Oh the drama, who knew things like this would happen in good old Logan, Utah. Oh before I forget the other great news is Mike's brother, Marc, who is currently living in Arizona will be moving to the Salt Lake area in the next couple of weeks to start a new job. Mike is very excited to have his brother so close, especially with football season quickly approaching.
