DMV Dilema..

So I'm still adjusting to life in a big city. The long lines, the traffic, constant road construction....you name it. I went to the DMV today, for the 4th time in the last few months. Okay, so all I need is a drivers liscence and tags for the car. Well each time I come, they tell me that I need another document that I have to mail off for. Good heavens! The first time I went, I was there for almost 6 hours!! Thankfully, Trev's best friend who is a police officer, went with me. We were literally standing in line for hours. And there was even a popcorn stand there, which was a good thing, since it literally looked like a circus in there. I thought today would be the day they decided they had enough info about me. Appearently not......So next time I go, I'm pulling out all of the stops. Im gonna bring my baptismal certificate, letter of acheivement from my third grade teacher, a hair sample, and maybe even a urine sample...just in case. I mean Heaven forbid they ask me for that when I'm there, I might as well just hand it to them before they ask!!

Birthday Boy

Happy Birthday to Trevor! After dinner we went to Sear's, one of his favorite "man stores". I think we could have been there all night! He had so much fun looking at tools, telling me what the tools are used for, etc. He got some wrenches, or something like that. I don't know what kind or anything, but I do know that they are shiny. I don't know what it is with men and tools, but appearently, tools are to Trevor what recipe books are to me,lol. After we went home, we had some chocolate cake and banana pudding. I hope he had a good birthday. He is now the big 30. And he loves it!

On the hunt...

So I'm looking for a orange tabby kitten with black spots. We promised to get the kids a pet after we were settled in, and now we're ready. We need a kitten that enjoys having its nails painted, being dressed in baby clothes, and likes being towed around on bike rides. Did I mention the cat also needs to enjoy being bathed? Another thing the kids like to do, is put their cat in a high chair, then feed it mashed up bananas. Our cat was hit last summer... it was a sad day. So if you happen to see any ads for a tabby kitten, please let me know. We are serious animal lovers in our family. Here is a pic of Sarah and her dog Sunny. She misses Sunny so much.

Summer Fun..

So who'd have thought that a person would need to go to the emergency room to get a nap? Well, thats what I have to do now a days, lol. I have a bulging disk in my back thats causing lots of fun. I will be feeling fantastic after some surgery. I was starting to get a little upset that this whole process is taking so long, till I made a list of things to be greatful for.

Here they are:
1.) They know me on a first name basis at the doctor's office and the pharmacy. This will come in handy if Trevor or the kids ever gets a broken leg.
2.) People rush to open the door for me as they see me hobble by.
3.) My sweet husband gives me a back rub whenever I ask.
4.) The lifegaurd helps me walk to the side of the pool. Did I mention that we're on a first name basis as well? ;)
5.) And last but not least, I get to run over people in a motorized scooter at every grocery store, walmart, and Costco. Sometimes, I will even let the Baby steer the scooter. I think she does a better job than I do.

So how can you all be as fortunant to have a lifegaurd escort you into the pool area?? Its simple. Just get into a bad wreck, then wait a few months. It depends on a few pre-existing conditions as well, such as your genetics and other factors that are beyond your control. I think that everyone should be as lucky as me. Then we can all race each other in costco down the isles. And if that doesn't sound like fun, you can always hang out with the kids and I at the pool, with Juliene...yeah...he's the lifegaurd. Didn't I tell you we are on a first name basis? ;)

Wedding Day..

Here we are..May 22, 2010. This was the happiest day of my life. I couldn't stop smiling. Trevor looked so handsome in his tux. Artice and the girls looked adorable in their wedding clothes. The Boy wore his tux and the girls were in sundresses and petticoats. Artice also decided to act like a robot during the ceremony. He followed us down the isle saying, "meep..meep...meep." Thank you to all who braved the blizzard to share the day with us. I think thats the last bit of cold weather we will feel in quite a while!
