It is official

Well it is official, we are moving to Vegas. We got our apartment this week, we are moving into the same apt that we lived in when first got married. I also received confirmation that I will be working for the school district as a sub while I work on getting my Nevada Teaching License.

So on July 31st we are loading the U-Haul and leaving here. 6 years to the day from the time we left Vegas for NM we are returning.

Mat Update

After all the drama Mat finally had his surgery on June 10th. The alarm clock didn't go off and we woke up at 5:50, we had to be at the hospital at 5:30 so we were a little rushed. It was raining that morning and when it rains here well people are idiots. We got to the hospital in 20 minutes, without any accidents which was a miracle.

The good thing about that was that by the time we got down to the surgery we didn't have that much of a wait. The anesthesiologist that we had requested wasn't able to be there, however we got an amazing doctor in his stead.

The surgery took and an hour and a half. When the doctor came out he told us that there was damage to the bladder that they weren't expecting. It boiled down to if we had waited any longer we would have lost him.

He will have to have another surgery in about 5 years, and hopefully that will be the end of it.

After three days in the hospital we got an early release, and he was able to come home.

He is now doing great, however bored to tears. However we aren't letting him do much.

Mike's Father's Day present

For Father's Day Mike got a Blu Ray Surround System. He has been going through all of our movies one by one to see which ones he wants to get in Blu Ray. In the last four days we have seen 300, Two Towers, Troy, X Men. The only movie that he hasn't watched is Transformers because we went to 5 stores on the day he got the system just to get that one.

So pissed off.....

Just got a phone call that we have to reschedule Mat's surgery. I am so mad right now. When I called the doctors office to reschedule it the lady was upset at me like it was MY fault.

Okay so I stepped away from this for a bit as I was so upset. The surgery has been rescheduled for next Tuesday at 10:40.

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.

Sealing Day

So today is the anniversary of our sealing. It seems like only yesterday, that they were that small. We recently got out the picture box, and I can't believe how small they were.

Here are some pictures from that day...

And here is a recent picture of them....aren't they something??

Why do I do this...

It has been one of those weeks and today I lost it. I made Mike and the boys walk around the mall as I vented and spewed about a variety of things. We normally walk the bosque however we had rain and snow all day. We then came home and I have spent the last three hours playing on line with my various blogs, avoiding my email, FB, and any other site where I may spew my venom on unsuspecting people. I vented my spleen on my ranting blog (yes another blog).

Anyways, I am now going to vent here. I started this blog as a way for our friends and family to keep up with what is going on in our life. However I have come to the conclusion that only a couple of people even read it, and so I am going to change the way that I do things on here.

This is now a journal for our family. I could careless if anyone else reads this. I am no longer going to be upset when I see that no one has posted a single comment on a post. This is a way for me record what is happening in our family, for our family.

So if you read this to keep abreast with our family keep doing so, just know that it is for us that I am doing this now.
