Been a little bit

Weather: 55 degrees and night time

Well let me catch you up a little bit and tell you about my St. Patricks Day. . .started out the day going to listen to a band. . .My boss from work and one of our designers are in a band and they were playing at Keggs and Eggs, a show put on by a radio station. The Fray was the big headline band. So a handful of us went there at 8 am. . the line was around the block it was crazy. I guess some people who were at the front of the line were there the night before at the bar and when it closed they decided to spend the night outside and wait for the fun in the morning.-CRAZY I don't think I have that in me anymore ha ha. We were lucky enough to get in with passes- it was a blast they sounded great!! So after they played it was back to work. . .then around lunch time the agency across the street apparently has a parade every year for St. Patty's day so we got to see that too. . .it is the shortest parade ever!! It is basically all their employees that walk around w/ misc. client stuff for PR. The highlight was they had a big group of bag pipers starting it off. . . and a guy on stilts. . oh and police on horses!! Fun fun.

Then later that day I had to go back to the doctor and found out that I still had some stuff left in me. So needless to say I was bummed! So on Monday I had to have some pills that they give to pregnant people to induce labor to get everything else out of me. It was not fun-it HURT so much. . I was on 2 vicodin's every 3 hours and it still hurt. Basically I was having contractions- all I have to say with that is the day I do have a baby I am definitley getting drugs the first chance I get when I start having contractions!! So went back to the doctor on Tuesday and we finally learned that it is finally over and I don't have to go back. So I just had to take it easy a little the rest of this week and I should get back to normal. Hooray!! So I haven't really been on this or My Space in a little bit because I had to catch up with work for being out so much.

But this weekend I am feeling much better and had a fun weekend and it is only Saturday!! Ryan, Melissa and Mason came over to visit and it was fun! Got to see the little guy- how cute he is. And now we are working on the house again- trying to finish the office, spent some time today scraping off old butterfly border from the room. They must have used superglue or something- it was a little bit of a challenge but we did it!! Now Al is working on making a desk! So I wanted to quickly jump on to catch you up on things. Tomorrow we will probably paint the room. . oh it is going to be so nice to have it done. . then we only have 2 more rooms to go. . the living room and the bathroom. Lots of stuff still but it is fun making our house completely ours.

Well I gotta run. . I'll update this again soon:)

Ohh Sunday

Weather: 26 degrees with a light layer of snow on the ground

Well it is almost 9:30 here and I just got back from McDonalds. . . our bathroom broke yesterday:( The bathtub was filled with water and our toilet was overflowing-GROSS! So Al went down to the crawl space under the bathroom which is a little tight and challenging to get under there. . . and water was leaking down there. It looks like a pipe was cracked and a couple more were leaking. Ohhh the joy of homeownership! Anyways we called a plumber and there first available appt is today around 11 . . . another one we called wasn't available until Monday aternoon- Wow must be a busy time right now in the plumbing world!! So I had to go so bad this morning I threw on clothes and was trying to hurry up and get there and well since it snowed last night I had to hurry and brush the snow off. Ohhh I thought I was going to DIE!! I had to go so bad. Ahh but I finally made it ran right in and then left. McDonald's is always so good for that kind of stuff:)

So now I am home and our big task besides wondering how much it is going to be to fix it is to get together our taxes. Yep we have been delaying it just a bit. Oh the fun we will have today-ha ha!

Other than that life has been a little crazy lately. . . Started out February by finding out that I was pregnant then the end of February found out that I had a miscarriage. . .and then had a minor outpatient surgery last Monday to help my body finish being pregnant. . it was the D&C procedure. The name is a little funnny. . .we used to have a store downtown St. Johns that was called D&C aka the Dime Store. I loved that place they had a whole counter filled with Candy-you know the kind of counter where it was broken up with glass and had many compartments that had candy in it. Anyways I stray. . so yesterday was the first day that I finally felt well- tired but well! I ended up getting an infection from the procedure so I was in pain a little longer than I should have. I didn't leave the house all last week and I worked from home from Wed-Fri. But now that I am on antibiotics my body is finally starting to heal and feel so much better!

So we are still wanting to have a baby so once everything is all cleared up with me, we are going to try again so keep your fingers crossed!! We decided around Thanksgiving that we were ready to take that next step and start a family so we will sooner or later. Well that is the general gist of my life lately- always seems like life just doesn't want you to get bored with it and it keeps throwing you little stuff here and there to make it interesting. Gotta love how unpredictable it can be:)

When you are in your bathroom just think how lucky you are. . some people in Denver don't have that privilege today- HAAAA!! Don't worry as long as we have McDonald's we will be fine:)
