Wow well ALOT has happened this month. We went go cart racing for Brian's Birthday, I threw a huge fit to Alex because I wanted to go so bad, he didn't want to spend the money, it was expensive, and he thought we could just as much fun watching them race, but I finally talked him into going. The drive in an hour away and we get up to pay, and and register and they ask for my licence, well I left my purse at home, so I was bummed that I couldn't go, but I did have so much fun watching the other race!!! Then Alex got sick again. It first started with another high fever, then what turned into the worst earache ever given to man! I have never seen Alex express so much pain, he was miserable, I couldn't do anything to help ease the pain. It started at 1 a.m. and finally at 4a.m. I tried dressing him to go to the E.R. but he refused, because we don't have health insurance yet, it's too expensive. So after the long night I couldn't wait for 8a.m. to come, because we were going to his family doctor. After I saw all the blood that was coming out, I was not going to wait around. The doctor told him that he had a hole in his ear drum, and it had ruptured. Well that turned into more pain and then the ear got blocked and he was unable to hear out of the ear. I forgot to mention, he already has bad hearing as it is!!! He really couldn't hear at all. I spent about 3 weeks yelling at him just so he could hear me talk. The doctor said it would last a while, but he would eventually be healed. Well his ear is better now, but he also suffers from lymes disease, which is another painful thing. It usually happens when it is really cold, or really hot, and his joints just freeze up. That causes him to walk like he is handicap, literally!!! It's pretty funny/sad to watch though!
I went up to P.A. and spent a couple of days with Allison and her kids. They are such funny kids!! Grandma, Lexie, and Brenna came to babysit Allisons kids while she and David went on a cruise. I loved spending time with Grandma Mullenaux, we went for a drive to look at the bison, at the game wildlife preserve. It was so much fun. Then we found this store called Ollies, grandma helped me get started on decorating my house, she's has amazing skills by the way! I couldn't have done it without you, and now I am all about trying to make my house look better. Everyone that sees the fun stuff loves it so much!!! I'm so glad I got to spend some time with everyone!!! Allison told me about another store that had inexpensive items, so on my way out of town I stopped by and stocked up on food, I totally hit the jack pot!!!
Another fun event that I loved this month was my birthday. I don't think people make a big deal of them anymore, but for me it's another reason to get to go out to eat and have a party!!! I stretched it out as long as I could a whole 3 days of fun! Alex invited a very good friend of mine Linda to come for dinner. She is this cute little old lady who just loves to talk and hear stories. I love Alex's skills when it comes to cooking and presentation, he is just so talented. I am always so impressed with what he can do with food, and this time he really wow'd me!!! We had cheesecake that Ilene made, and presented so nicely, it was so delicious!!! It was a great birthday weekend!!! Alex's cousins John and Mindy came to visit, we had a huge yummy brunch, then a bbq later on. I think Alex spent most of the day in the kitchen, but we sure enjoyed the good food. There is a picture below that has hand cuffs on the fridge, well that is because one morning I really wanted and couldn't wait until breakfast time to drink the juice, so I found the fridge handcuffed so I couldn't get in. Silly husband!!
Our Bishop has been encouraging the famillies in our ward to get started on gardening. Well I thought it was a great idea, but then realized I don't know a single thing about growing a garden. After a couple of trials, with trying to find a plot of land, I am planting some plants in pots, and hopefully they turn out. If any of you have ideas or any words or wisdom for gardening feel free to pass them on to me. I would really appreciate it actually!!!
And no onto the finale of the stupid... this might shock some of you, because of my feelings towards any living creature. Well I was shopping at WalMart and was walking past the fish, I stopped to take a look and then decided, I want a little fish. After much thought, I bought a small tank and fish I am so happy to have this cute little fish. It's almost as if life can't get better. I walk out to go to my car. I see that my driver mirror is hanging off, the whole driver side is smashed in, scratched up like crazy. I instantly call Alex (who is out of town and can't come to my beckon call.) I am crying hysterically and just so upset, that i can barely explain what happened to the car that I have tried to take such good care of. I call 911 to report the accident that the stupid person hit and ran and didn't even leave a note. While on the phone they start asking me questions, then put me on hold. While I am waiting for the police to come, people are walking by, trying to help, as I just cried like a crazy lady, and thinking of all the horrible things that ran through my head, mostly that It would cost ALOT of money to fix this problem that I didn't even cause!!! So as i am pacing back and forth between cars, I see another car IDENTICAL to mine, but in this car I notice they have the Scriptures in the back. It then hits me, It's MY CAR!!!!! I had been so focused on my newest purchase, and didn't even realize I had passed my car. As you can guess It was probably the most embarrassing moment of my life having to explain, that I had mistaken my car for another. I contemplated on telling this story because of how STUPID it makes me look, but it will be a good story to tell later on. PLEASE DON'T JUDGE ME!!!
