Ok, this is the plan: Since the big move-in rush is going to be in January, we're hoping that someone will take the apartment off our hands at the beginning of January so we won't have to pay the lease buy-out in February. So for January, we're staying in my mom's fixer-upper on the West side. We're going to put all our stuff in a storage unit ( Read more... )

Went on a box hunt today. Smiths, Smiths marketplace and the Dollarstore didn't have many. I was really getting discouraged. Ace Hardware and Staples tried to sell me boxes. I was just wandering around, hoping to see another store when I saw this huge box crusher behind Trolley Square. The boxes weren't crushed yet. I asked some guy if I ( Read more... )

I am obsessing. I don't mean to. But all I think about is that house. I guess I'm in love with that house. When I go to sleep or wake up or spend time with my family, I think about that house ( Read more... )

Because I'm way too excited about this house and I'm a nerd, I created our house on SIMs and decorated it. Now, this isn't exact, obviously, because I don't have measurements. And I had to create it floor by floor because I still can't figure out how to build a split level on SIMs ( Read more... )

Had another ultrasound. They just needed to see a couple things that they couldn't see before because of how he was positioned. The doctor says his brain and heart look great. Nothing to worry about. He (the doctor) was trying to get me a picture of Tristan's face, but he kept his hands in front of his face. The doctor started prodding Tristan ( Read more... )

We might have a house. MIGHT. If this guy can refinance and get his payment lower, he's going to rent-to-own it to us for the next two years. Then we're going to get a loan and buy it. It's got a huge fenced, backyard. It's in quiet Toelle only 30 minutes from exciting Salt Lake City. Toelle has a Walmart, Smiths, La Frontera, Wendys and any ( Read more... )

Monday- Justin had eye surgery. He slept most of the day and put in eye drops every ten minutes. He has to wear sunglasses all the time or the light hurts his eyes. He looks like a blues brother ( Read more... )

Justin just got over a nasty cold. Dorian has it too, but not as bad as Justin. I didn't get it. So I was able to take care of Justin and Dorian all weekend. Today I washed all the blankets Justin coughed all over when he was sick. I'm glad he's feeling better ( Read more... )

Dorian has stopped napping- NOOOO! I need my naps. I don't function well without my naps. The worst thing about it is I know he is tired. If I drive him anywhere, he passes out and he's cranky all the time. It's really wearing on me. I'm scared of when Tristan comes and takes away my sleep altogether. But then I remind myself that the first ( Read more... )

I got him dressed in his costume and took him to the library haunted house. They had games, and candy, and prizes, and a little maze. And it was so cool. It's the funnest halloween I've had since I was little. It would have been better if Justin had been there or just a friend like Alli or Melo. But it was fun. I am tired. And my back hurts ( Read more... )
