Almost shut down the ABQ Airport

Today was one of those days...

I went to the 6:30am session at the temple and I really hope that the person that I went through for forgives me for completely blacking out for it.

I then went on a 3 mile walk with the family that was really good. I am determined to be back in my pre-mission weight before I turn 35.

We then went to airport to send off a really good friend on her mission. While we were there Mik decided to go to the bathroom. Well he didn't tell me that was where he was going, so I turn around and no Mikhail. I go into all the stores and ask if they have seen him, no one has., Security is called and I have gone into the bathrooms at one end, the other people that were there to send off our friend have gone into the other bathrooms, one person went down to the baggage claim area. No Mikhail. Security showed up and I was a complete nervous wreck, I could barely describe him. Once the security guard figured out that I was Mom, he told me not to worry they were shutting down the airport and they were going to find him. At this point Mikhail comes out of the bathroom that 4 different people had gone into calling his name. However as he didn't recognize their voices he didn't respond. They canceled the closing and I held onto him for the next hour.

After that my boys were lucky to be out of my line of sight the rest of the day.

I ended the day by taking the boys and one friend each to a screening of the movie UP, which is fantastic.

Just another day in my paradise....

Catching up....

So every time we log onto the internet, both on the laptop and on the desktop this page comes up. The other day I realized that I hadn't updated this almost a month. For a couple of reasons.

1- I love the picture of Mik that is the first thing you see when you bring it up.
2- It has been crazy around our house for the last month, why you ask? Well I will tell you....

For those that don't already know, on the 30th of last month we were served with foreclosure papers. Our landlord is apparently in foreclosure. We then spent the next week trying to get someone to tell us why our names were on the court documents. While this was going on our swamp cooler broke and we had record highs in the low 90's. So needless to say Mike was in a very bad mood for a while.

We finally got an attorney, and they are in the process of figuring out why we are listed on the foreclosure. So we have put the entire mess in their hands.

This week is the last week of school and so I am crazy busy, with grading papers and getting the final all ready to go.

Oh and in the midst of all this Mike and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary.

As you can see it has been a really hectic week.

I probably won't update this again until Mat goes into the hospital, where I will update it daily to keep people that read this informed of what is going on.
