Crazy Life=

Tisha- Work is crazy. CrAzY. Just a lot going on, and a lot of strangeness to deal with. I will leave it at that. Also-by the Grace of God, and what I believe to be a tithing blessing--I have a job for next year. YEAHHHH! I guess it could change, as all things can, but for now--it looks good. That is good news. I feel mostly good though, my RA has been a little crummy, but when is a chronic disease any good? I mostly feel JUST SUPER FAT. I am getting chubby face--gross. I eat a LOT of crappy foods though, so it is all my fault. Plus, I do not exercise, I am lazy, ok. I also am growing a human being, so I don't feel too bad about it. I crave sushi all the time, mmmmmmmm. sushi....

Darren- SMART! He passed the MAT with a great score that gained him admittance into Brandman University. If all goes according to plan, he will be starting his Masters program March 29th. Yipee. Need a therapist? Call Darren in two years and he can help you out. He is actually excited about school----yeah----you heard me right. Excited about school! I am excited for him, and because I think it means we get to buy a new computer! 27" Apple iMac---come to mama! He had a good 31st B-day, well if you count a lazy day at home with pizza and a movie a good day, then, it was a good day. We plan to celebrate later--when Tan Man is feeling better.

Tanner- growing. A LOT. which is great because he has a lot to make up. He nearly runs around the house. He screams and shouts and is loud and bangs toys around. ALL BOY, I tell you! He is cute and fun and mostly in a good mood. He loves books, and food. He has six teeth, and they are HILARIOUS because they aren't growing in symmetrically. He has had a respiratory virus this week. Albuterol inhaler four times a day is SUPER fun! NOT. He hates it, so do we.

Tenleigh/Tayten- at least for now that is what I am thinking for names. Darren said I could name this one. Wahoo! although, he did veto quite a few names that I loved. Oh well. This kid moves a lot. And loves to settle low, and I mean LOW. I feel like a foot could pop out of my (well you know) at any moment sometimes. We go to the doctor this week, but everything seems to be going well. I took my glucose test today, and almost passed out. Gross. I hate that drink. I am still thinking girl, but then I get all unsure and can't decide. I am annoyed because I want to plan the nursery out, but if it is a girl, I want it to be all sweet and pink! So that is on hold until delivery.

The House- seems like things are going to turn out. I believe we are going to stay, and that we are going to be ok. We are blessed, and we have super amazing faith in paying tithing and saying our prayers!! I don't know how we have made it this far, and I don't know exactly how we will make it through the next six months or so....but, it WILL WORK OUT! the power of positive thinking, right!?!! I am going crazy with nesting issues. I call them issues because they are non-productive CRAZY remodeling and decorating desires that keep my up at night. I want to tear down walls, build a new room, and refinish floors and sand dressers and so on....

Families- good. Not much new. darren's parents are planning a super amazing European adventure coming up. My parents just came back from Texas to celebrate my Great Grandfather's 100th b-day. He is totally awesome and thriving-he even drives still! Wow. My brother is still getting prepared for the air force and finishing his senior year, and my sisters are working hard. Darren's siblings are all doing well, his brother in London has decided to stay another year. I hope we can make it out there to see them before the year is over.

Dogs- so much better without maggie. hate to say it, but it is true. She is happy with her new family though. Turk is still a jerk and jeter is the same as always.



OK-WOW, i had a lot to say I guess. That is all for now.
