Catching up

We finally sold our home and I could not be happier...

Our house had been on the market for 3 years and 4months. We have had several offers, several contracts, and lots of people interested but all were unable to get the financing they needed so they all fell thru until this one. The lady that purchased it is a single mother with four (4!!) children. She is a strong woman to say the least. three of them are under 4 years old. I am sure she will love the house.

We had to take a major pay cut to get it sold, but at this point anything was better than nothing. The profit wasn't what I would have liked it to have been, but it is going to help us pay off a few things and hopefully we will be able to purchase a home here in Tn soon.

Hubby's Thumb is almost healed. We had a scare last Thursday. It busted back open and looked as if it wasn't going to heal. We bandaged and medicated so it would not get infected and luckily it is healing just fine. It is going to have a major scar, but Hubby is okay with that. He says it add character.

Our Sunday at the ER

Today, Hubby and I spent three hours in the ER.

Hubby had an accident with a razor blade box cutter, and gashed his thumb pretty bad. We rushed him to the ER, but nobody there was in a hurry. As soon as we got there we realized that the place was packed. The lady at the register was in no hurry and angered Hubby as he was in a lot of pain. She was more worried about a phone that was off the hook than Hubby's thumb and the blood gushing from his hand. We sat in the waiting room and waited for almost two hours. By the time we got back into the room, it was no longer bleeding but he was still hurting! She told us he had cut it to the bone so 6 stitches later we are on our way home.....Take some Aleve for the pain, and come back in 7-10 days to have the stitches removed.

Not happy with them and the service at all! Some people should not be in customer service, and that lady was one of them!

Muddy Saturday Night

Last night, and way up in the early morning hours of today Hubby and I went and played in the mud. We haven't done that before, or atleast I haven't been able to go with him when he does it. It was so much fun and it was a muddy mucky mess, but oh so fun!

I am sure the owners of the carwash are not our biggest fans, but we did clean up the mess before leaving. It was much worse than this, but some of it came off while we were driving down the road.

Happiness!

I hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

Today was back to work for me and Hubby. He is still at work now. He is suppose to be off next week on vacation, so I think he isn't too upset about having to work today.

Yesterday was a busy day for us. We spent the morning having breakfast with my parents. They cooked a huge breakfast as usual and we enjoyed ourselves. When we left there, we headed to Hubby's parents house for their Christmas get-together. We had a great time there too.

We were blessed with several gifts this year, but the best part of the whole day was being able to spend the time with my Husband. I can promise that I will never take a single second that I have with him for granted.....I have something I want to share with you all...

This past week, my friend from work showed me a blog. It was a lady who has a terminal illness and her doctor has told her that their is nothing they can do. She is now on hospice and she is very young. She was sent home to prepare to die and she has two babies at home. She uses the blog to talk about her daily life and I was in tears reading it. I am going to see if I can possibly find it to share with those of you who are interested.

I don't know how you would ever be strong enough to do something like that, I can't imagine!


Here is the link to her blog, prepare to cry! They have updated it and sadly.....

Finishing my Shopping

After FINALLY getting my lovely Hubby to give me a list of things he wants, I am off to finish my shopping today. I am sure I will be in the store along with everyone else in the world doing that same thing. He is going to be so easy to shop for and its going to be so much fun! This is the first year we are buying for each other and surprising each other. Usually we pick out together what we want. I think this will be much more fun!

8 Years

This past Tuesday was a special day for Tim and I. It was the 8 year anniversary of the day that he proposed to me. Luckily, he was off work so we decided to make the most of it and go back to the spot that he asked me to marry him.

We started our evening by having dinner at The Chop house and shopping for a few Christmas gifts at Bass Pro.

The next stop was the space needle, where he proposed to me. It had changed a little and seemed to be a little run down but I can remember that night as clearly as anything. It was very special that we could both be back in that same spot and celebrate the life we have together.

I took a few pictures of the view, check them out.


When we came down out of the space needle, I wanted to play some skee ball, I love that game!! While I was playing, Tim sat down to one of the quarter slots and hit it big. He won tons of tickets. I won a few from my game, too. Instead of turning them in for ourselves we found this little boy who was trying to get a big prize. He was really happy and thanked Tim a bunch and shook his hand. :)

Starting New

Since I am starting new, I thought I would just go from this point on and not bore you all with the details of the past weeks. I am going to tell you what is currently going on with me and my family.
Our Georgia House
Woohoo! I am super excited to say that we have a contract on our house. The offer was pretty good, and we knew we couldn't pass up that chance. If everything goes as planned, January 16th the house will no longer be ours and it will have a proud new owner. Keep your fingers crossed!

Our Pets
Currently we have a sick little baby. Last night while running and jumping like usual she hurt her back. She does this sometimes, and the next day she is afraid to jump. The vet told us this would happen with dogs with long backs like hers. She has long legs, but she is the tiniest little thing. She is much smaller than most miniature Schnauzers. I think she was the runt, but she would probably disagree. Doesn't she look so pitiful!



Our other baby, BoBo, now have a new 'fishy' home. He was getting to big for his little tank so he graduated to the bigger tank we had waiting for him. He is in heaven! He can swim and swim and not worry about running into things. Look over his missing scales, he was so big in that little tank he was constantly beating himself up! He is looking better, and seems to really like the new home.

Tim's new job
Some of you already knew, and some of you didn't so I will fill you all in so you will understand. In October, the company that he works for made all of the employee's reapply for their jobs. Some of the people, including my husbands stepdad have been there for 30+years. They were able to bid on 6 jobs, and they interviewed them all. I am happy to say that Tim has a new job and a better paying job than he had before. He won't have to work as hard and he will still have a company car. That was our biggest worry because he has a gas hog of a truck that we wouldn't be able to afford him to drive daily.

My Job
Work is going good. We are not as busy as I would like to be, but I hope that changes soon. Drama is still there but I guess that is everywhere you go. Some people thrive on making other people's lives horrible, and I will never understand that. Some people let their positions go to their heads, and forget that at one time they were in the same place you are. Oh well, I guess I should just be thankful to have a job huh!

Before I forget, when I deleted the other blog I have lost several of the links to the blogs I love. If your name and link isn't on the side please let me know because I miss you and want to keep in touch.
