It's been a long time...

Life has it's way of getting busy, and I haven't had the motivation to get on here and make a new entry. Things are going well for us, but crazy as usual. I think that we live off of having a crazy schedule, because when things slow down, we always quickly find something else to make our lives interesting.

We went for a hike up to the top of Granduer Peak for the 4th of July to watch the fireworks. It was really hard, and amazingly beautiful! I wish I was in good enough shape to do hikes like that on a weekly basis. We went up with my Sister and a few of her friends, and we were very greatful for all the help they gave us with our kids.

The following week I decided to take the kids up to Yellowstone to meet Josh's parents who were staying for the week. So I braved the drive alone! On the way up Parleys Canyon I had a pretty sharp pain in my ear- rather than the normal ear popping that I usually experience. Anyway, after we had been up there for a day, I ended up at the instacare because I was soo dizzy, and my balance was very off, causing motion sickness and vomiting. It was horrible! Anyway, I have dealt with the Vertigo since then, and am doing much better, however I still find my balance to be a little off, and get a bit dizzy when I lay down. Strange huh?



Josh quit his job at Durham as the warehouse manager. When he accepted his CNA position at the hospital they demoted him to a warehouse worker and gave him a pay cut, with limited hours. This put us in a position that we had to make the other job our top priority, and in so doing- they were going to give him another pay cut. Anyway, it just wasn't working out for us- and we didn't agree with how they were handling the whole situation.

Since then, he found a job at Jamba Juice as a team lead. His location will open on Friday. Everyone should go visit him. :) He will only work part time there, and will be full time nights at the hospital. I also found a job doing data entry from home for a company called ACS. I am very greatful I was hired, and am through the training. I find that most of my 'free-blogging-time' is filled with work. But I'm still trying to make a routine for myself.

Our little girl started Preschool on Tuesday, and she absolutely loved it! We are excited to have her learning and capable of being away from us and being well behaved. I was a bit nervous sending her away for a couple hours, but now that she's been once, I know it will be good for her.
Anyway, there's a little summary of us. :)

WOAH!!!

Sorry everyone. Nothing is wrong. I was just about to get a hold of Dave about a month ago to to moutain biking and I thought I had his # and was procrastinating and then when I went to call him I realized I didn't have his new# and it took me a week to admit I didn't know where something was so I asked Jenni and she said she wasn't sure what the real # was and then then internet was down for a few days so I was really frustrated. So I did the post at the end of my shift at work one night and it screwed up. I had this big old paragrah about stuff and a portion of it was specifically to Dave explaining the situation. (this was the reason I did the post in the first place) so becase it only printed the Title, I just put the basic message in the title. Anyway, long story short... I'm stubborn, internet is really dumb sometimes, I don't always think about how things sound when they come out of my mouth, and I ramble!!! :) Sorry for the runon sentance, I'm too lazy right now to go back and correct grammar... and besides... if the same thing happens that happened last time, none of you will be able to see this paragraph anyway. By the way Dave, I really do want to go I still haven't looked at my schedule... I'll look at it tonight and email you tonight or tommorrow. But I don't really need to say that because you'll probably get the email before you read the blog. (unlees I procrastinate and loose your email adress and the process starts all over again.) Ok I'm done rambling... for now...
