HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KARI-LYNN, DEAR,
HAPPY DAYS WILL COME TO YOU ALL YEAR.
IF I HAD A WISH THEN IT WOULD BE
A HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU FROM ME!!!

I hope you have a super happy day and that you don't start going through some crazy mid-life crisis...especially since you aren't halfway yet...

well, let me attempt to give all my fans an update on our lives...
it has been crazy warm here the apst while...we have been spending a whole lot of time out at the pool...it is so nice...

don't you love how Scott's shorts look like they are ready to fall off??? lol
my wrist has been hurting now for probably close to 2 weeks...I have no idea what I did to it, just all of a sudden it hurt...it hurts to move it, it hurts to drive using my right hand, it hurts to pick up Scott...basically, it hurts!!!
this is what Will got for Father's Day...I got him the campstove and the fishing vest pictures frame, Scott made him (with a bit of my help) the picture from with their picture in it and the movie, Casino Royale is from Camille and Solomon.

well, I have been trying to lose weight, get back down to the weight i was when I first came down to California...I am currently 7 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight, which means I have another 32 lbs to go to get to where I want to be...ideally, I would like to be there before I get pregnant again...I want to get into the gym, but until my wrist heals, no can do!!!
I am trying to get some scrapbooking done...right now I am in a swap on SBO (scrapbookeronline.com) where I scrap somebody else's pics and somebody else scraps mine...well, those pages are what I am working on now...well, not right now cause I am typing, but, you know what I mean...lol
I got to start the bbq tonight...and it didn't explode on me!!! bbq's have a nasty habit of exploding everytime I start one...not exploding into pieces or anything, but exploding fire out at me...so, yeah, not a fan of starting bbq's...but I didn it today and I had no desire to stand anywhere near that thing when I tossed that match into it :)
as most of you know, I am sure, my sister and bro-in-law are adopting a little boy that they took care of a couple of years ago...I am so excited to have him join our family...he is absolutely adorable and he is so lucky to be going to such a good home :) you can read about him if you wish at http://bezsays.blogspot.com
I am crazy excited to go to Utah in just 3 weeks now (I think) to see my mum, sister's,niece's (and my new nephew) and my auntie and cousins...and, of course, any friends that I may hopefully manage to get together with...
but, yeah, I guess that is life for us...just hanging out and living :)

Happy Father's Day to a wonderful husband and father...
I wish my husband a great day...I hope he likes all the presents we bought him and made for him...I hope he gets some good rest today so he can enjoy the special dinner I am going to make him tonight...
I love him so much and I hope this is a special day for him.
I love you, Will and I appreciate everything you do for us...
You are a wonderful man and I am lucky to have met you and marry you and start a family with you...
You are a great father...to all your kids :) they love you, too...
Happy Father's Day!!!
Happy Father's Day also to my bro-in-law's, Richard, Tony and Gary (and pretty much Chris, too), and to my dad, Richard and my fil, Bill...I hope you all have a great day, as well...

well, a whole lot has gone of since I last posted...apparently I haven't posted in 12 days...or something like that...
where does the time go???
ewll, this past Saturday, so a week ago tomorrow, I went to a 25th wedding anniversary party for Will's Aunt and Uncle...it was a lot of fun...Christine took some really great photos of me and Scott...I have so few pics of us together since I am always the one taking pictures...so I figured that I should get some of us taken...I will post a couple of them here 9 as well as on Scott's blog...
it was a Hawaiian themed party and we were supposed to dress Hawaiian, which basically everyone did except me...I have a severe lackage of Hawaiian clothes...meaning I have none...but Scott did wear a Hawaiian shirt...and he looked so dang cute...I am sure he would have won the Hawaiian shirt contest had I not taken it off and changed him just before the contest...way to go, Mum!!! lol


we had a blackout last night...it lasted anywhere from 6-10 hrs...I know that is a large time span, but I know when I got up at 2:15am the power was not back on yet, and when I got up at 6:15, it was on...it went out around 8pm...we figure either it was a rolling blackout (where power goes out in different partsof the city after each other because of the large amount of a/c being used) or a car accident that hit a transformer...right after the power went out, we did hear a bunch of sirens, and when Will went to work, he saw 3 service trucks fixing the transformer near our place...our entire complex was out, and I don't know how much area around us was also...luckily, we'd had our a/c on, so our house was on the cooler side (74 f), but we, along with many other people in the complex) decided it best to go out to the pool and cool off...we stayed out there from about 8:30-10...we tuckered Scott out in there, took him in and changed him into a diaper, grabbed him a bottle (all done by candlelight, I might add), wrapped him in a blanket and he fell asleep by the pool while Will was still in there...it was nice to sit out there I must say...
during the night when I had to get up to make him a bottle, I had to use the flashlight to see what I was doing...
so I guess that is about the excitement in our lives...
I crazy have to load the dishwasher tonight, I have to get some scrapbooking done, I have to fold all the alundry that I have washed...ugh, I feel like I will never cath up...how do people do it...I feel like just as soon as I get into a groove of being able to juggle baby and housework, I will be pregnant again...fyi, I have yet to find that groove (so this is not an 'I am pregnant' announcement) :)
so, yeah, that is our life...
I guess I will continue to keep you updated...

what can I tell you about life here???
It is crazy wicked hot here...it was 92 f today (33 c) and is supposed to be 95 f tomorrow and Saturday (35 c)...that's just way too hot!!! But when it comes down to it, it's not as bad as August will be...August has a nasty habit of being as much as 111 f (44 c)...being from Canada, that is really hard to handle...I remember the first summer I came down here in '05 in August...the hottest day was 107 f (42 c)...I couldnot breathe outside when it was that hot...I seriously stayed indoors as much as possible with the A/C on...
when we were in NY at Michelle's, they were discussing building a house and I had to laugh when Tony asked Michelle how important it was to her to have central air in the house...she said it wasn't that important...which up there, I understand why it's not a big deal to have. It's like in Canada...not a big deal...but living in California makes you LOVE LOVE LOVE a/c...let me tell you :)
I spent a bunch of time last night looking at temple dresses again online...I can hardly wait til I get to go buy one and wear it...
so, did I ever tell you that it felt like I had a pinched nerve in my arm??? well, it turns out I do indeed have a pinched nerve, but it's in my neck...and it travels down my arm...I think that is what the chiropractor said...either way, it hurts and i am so sick of it...
we had a really good long weekend...it was the Memorial Day long weekend and my sil, Christine had rented a campground site up at Bass Lake for the weekend...we had pretty much decided not to go cause we would have the kids, and Will and I had some stuff to do, but Will decided on Sunday afternoon that he wanted to go up...so, we piled intot he car and made the drive...it was so nice...I have not been to the lake in so long...Scott got to go into the lake for the first time ever and I will tell you that he is definitely a much bigger fan of a warm bathtub than a lake...even when it is only his feet in the lake...I am trying to decide if he just didn't like the fact that it was cold or if the waves washingup onto his feet scared him...cause he seemed to be find just standing there until the waves started coming...but, of course, being on shore, the waves were small...
we were going to just drive home later Sunday night, but everyone wanted us to stay, so they gave us spare blankets and found us all a spot to sleep...Scott was up at 5:15am on Monday...way to exhaust me...
by the way, i am about to put pics of the weekend on Scott's blog, so check it out :)
I decided to join facebook after Janna basically asked me to...
I am always asked to join these different sites, and I never do, but I decided to this time...I haven't kept in great contact with Janna (bad bad Krystin) so I figured this would maybe help me keep in better touch...
I am so glad I joined...I have found so many old friends from church growing up, high school and friends from YSA in Edmonton...crazy amounts of old friends are just popping out of the woodworks...it is awesome!!!
Brittany is on there, too...Brittany told me that facebook was maybe even more addicting that blogger...boy, was she right...I am always there checking it out :)
anyways, so much fun...
life is great...
loving it!!!

ok, so I know I just changed my music video on here a couple of days ago, but I was just browsing around at some stuff and found this one...
this one is doen by my favourite comedian, Bill Engvall...him and Jeff Foxworthy are really the only two stand-up comedians I like...for the most part, I don't find them funny...but Bill cracks me up...the first time I ever saw a video of his, I was laughing so hard I could barely breathe....just ask Will...
so, anyways, just make sure you scroll down and watch this video...trust me, it's worth it :)

You Are A Lily

You are a nurturer and all around natural therapist. People see you as their rock. And they are able to depend on you. You are a soothing influence. You can make people feel better with a few words. Your caring has more of an impact than even you realize.

What Flower Are You?

Q: What did the really old piece of wood say to the rock when he scared him???

A: I'm petrified!!!

pretty funny, huh???

lol..this is the first joke I have ever thought up on my own...isn't it a good one???
it's a groaner, I know...but, dang, it cracks me up :)

Okay, so I am just going to start off with an apology for seriously procrastinating an update of everything that has gone on in the past couple of weeks...
I have been trying to unpack, clean my house, and just get organized...
I am currently uploading all my pics and videos from my trip, so while that is being done, I will write of what has gone on...
alright, what has gone on???
well, 2 weeks ago...actually, I guess it was 3 weeks ago, I headed out to go to NY...now the days I was flying out did not coordinate with Will's schedule, so I stayed a few days before I left for Ny at my sil's up by Sacramento...now a whole lot went on for those few days...we went shopping one night, I watched a bazillion movies while she (my sil) was working, we went out for dinner...just really hung out and enjoyed each other's company...
on Sat. 28, we (Scott and I) flew out of Sacramento to Syracuse...we had to be there at a ridiculous hour of day (6 am, I think)...I tell ya, that infant carrier was a lifesaver...we flew into Chicago and had a small layover there...on the way there we watched the movie, The Holiday...it was an interesting movie...really weird how it was done...unfortunately, it took me a while to figure it out cause I had missed the first few minutes with taking care of Scott...his first plane ride was really good...he didn't sleep on take-off but the increase in air pressure didn't seem to bother him...
when we arrived in Chicago, the place was huge!!! I had to walk from one terminal to another (must've been the other side of the airport) and they had one of those moving walkways and had really neat lights on the ceiling above it...
we didn't have to wait long before boarding to go to Syracuse...and it was a much shorter flight...we arrived safe and sound and it was so great to see Michelle and Madisyn waiting for us at the gate...she was so grown up...yes, Michelle, I'm talking about you...lol
hee hee, nah, Madisyn was so grown up...we traded babies immediately...Michelle was saying how Scott's pictures do him no justice...that's he's so much cuter thant he pictures...I must agree :)
we got my bags and then headed to Babies 'R Us...I love it there...we got some really cute clothes for him there...we then went to Wendy's and headed home...
one thing that was great about being there (among many things) were that Madisyn has LOTS of toys...I have been struggling to figure out toys to buy Scott cause there are well, only 1 toy he likes...but being there, he got to play with all kinds of toys and now I know what he likes :)
this was by far his favourite toy...

a couple of days later, Kari-Lynn came with Maigan...they flew into Ottawa and since I cannot cross the border, Tony and Scott and I just hung out at home that day...it was so great to see all of them together...
all the babies are basically the same size...which is impressive since Scott is 4 months younger than Maigan and 5.5 months younger than Madisyn...Scott is a bit shorter, though...
Kari-Lynn did a couple of photo shoots of the babies and the pics turned out so good...we had so much "fun" trying to get them to sit still...lol
on Wednesday, we got to go to Watertown to meet SBO ladies...it was so much fun...we got to meet Julie-Ann, Marti, Kristin, Rachel and Patti...Marti was gracious enough to let us all meet at her house...they were all so wonderful and we had such a great time :)
on the way out, we got in a smallish car accident...it totally sucked, but at least nobody was hurt...and that is what is important :)
poor Madisyn had an awful fever for the first few days...she did go to the dr. one day and came home with suckers for her cousins...well, it was the first sucker that either of her cousins had ever had...
I'd show you a pic, but it's kinda blurry...oh, well...KL probably has a better one to email me...ah, heck, I'll show you anyways...

other things we did during the week...
we went for a walk and ended up hanging out at the park...we saw a wooden train play set in someone's backyard...so cool...kids went on the swings (first time for Scott) and it was super cute!!! they had so much fun laughing and smiling...I love how in this picture he is sucking his thumb...the child has a total addiction...and it is proven in this picture...

we got pictures taken on them at Walmart, too...we got them mathcing outfits...well, as matching as they could be considering there were 2 girls and a boy :) I think one of the funniest parts of that experience was the photo ladies thinking that Scott was the one who could sit and the girls could not sit yet...which really is only funny to us who know that it is the exact opposite...but th pics turned out so cute and I cannot wait to get them...we got one package of all of them together which we are going to split up between us and then each ordered a package of our own kids...
another thing I loved about NY is all the dollar stores...I'm not a cheapo or anything, but you just gotta love dollar stores...I spent so much money in there...especialy in the scrapbook sections...
we bought homemade licorice by the Amish (and it is super yummy)...I know I am totally jumping around here, but I tend to be kinda scatter-brained...lol
the next day we spent the morning in the mall in Watertown and then they took me to the airport...it was sad to leave...we had so much fun and it was so great to see them again...
Scott had a great plane trip home...just as we were about to land, I struck conversation with a couple of people on the plane sitting behind me who were members of the church...I ahd heard them talking about church related things (Young Women's camp, the temple) and as I stood up, started conversation with them telling them that I was LDS, too...turns out the man served his mission with a man from Edmonton...who I know...and there was another man in his zone also from Edmonton who I also know...how funny is that???
I meet a man on an airplane from CA, who knows two men from my home in Canada that I know...the church makes the world so small...
Christine, Collin and my MIl picked me up at the airport...
they bought me a matching bling phone cover...so, all three of us have the same phone with the same bling cover (well, my bling is a little different cause they couldn't get the same colours) but it's still the same...
they also bought Scott the shoes I almost bought in NY for him and some sunglasses and swim clothes (which I have put in and taken out of my cart a few times at Target)...lol
this is him with the sunglasses...

on Sunday, we went to a place called Fairytale Town...it is a place that is decorated like a bunch of fairytales...jacka nd the beanstock, Conderalla's stagecoach, Peter Rabbit...it was super cute...you even had to duck (well, adults did) to get intot he entrance cause the entrance is so short...since I have posted lots of pictures here on my blog, I will post the pics of Fairytale Town on Scott's blog...that way you will be sure to go see and comment on his blog, too...
on Monday, i had to take Christine to work in Sacramento so I could use her jeep...she was going out of town for a couple of days and I had to take the kids to their dad's house in the mornings...well, on my way out of Sacramento, I ended up on the road to Tahoe...which is not the road the road to her house...lol
I called her at work and was like, I don't think I'm on the I-5...yep, I wasn't...well, she got me turned around, but then I missed my turnoff (the 99 exit...an alternative route) cause traffic was so backed up and nobody would let me in, I started crying and was trying not to stress (this is why I hate driving in strange places) but just kept driving until I saw a sign for an exit to the I-5...I finally got home and I was just so happy to be there :)
so, basically, we just hung out...then on Wednesday, i had to drive out to the Sacramento airport to pick up Christine...luckily, I did not get lost...Will came and picked me up that night and we drove home...
it was nice to be away, but it was so nice to be home...
I had no idea how much I missed my bed...it was so soft and comfy and I was so dang comfy in it :)
the next day was Scott's 5 month check-up and i will be posting his weight and height there...
well, I guess that is all for now...
I know, it wasn't much of an update and it's so short, and it only took me 1 hr and 6 mins. to type, but hey, there just wasn't much to say ;)
fyi, I apologize for any spelling mistakes I missed, but I have no desire to go back and read all of this...

well, i got home around 2 am this morning...
and before I do my full-of information post about my trip, I have to clean the house and take Scott to his pediatrician appt...
so you will hear from me later :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WILL!!!
today is my dear husband's birthday...as many may know, though, I am in upstate Ny visiting family so I am not actually with him today, but I want to take a moment to tell him how happy I am to be with him...
Will, you are a great man, and I am so blessed to have you in my life...
you have been a great blessing to me and I love you so much...
I have missed being away from you and wish I could be with you today, but I hope you like the surprise I have planned for you today...
I planned the surprise cause I knew your present would not be there on time, but when it does get there, I hope you like it...
anyways, honey, I do hope you have a wonderful day...
you are a good man and I love you...
thank you for being so good to me :)
love,
Krystin

well, sorry it has taken so long for a post, but as some of you know, I was gone for a few days...
Will decided on Sunday (so, a few days ago) that we were going to drive up to Idaho for a few days...look at property and stuff...so, I packed and cleaned and off we went...we got just past a place called Yreka in northern CA, when Scott blew an absolute fit over being in his car seat for so long...but, really, who can blame the kid??? so we turned back around to go back to a rest stop we had just past after Yreka, sat there for awhile and decided just to stay in northern CA...Red Bluff, to be exact...
one of Will's closest friends lives up there so we just stayed with him and his family...
we got home on Thursday night and not a whole lot has gone on since then...
I went out to Target yesterday just to pick up a few things and then went to Babies 'R Us and Michael's with a couple of friends...Heather is having her baby on Tuesday (well, being induced Tues. morning) so she had some last minute stuff to do before her son is born...
you know, I'm sorry my life is so boring...I wish I could think up more stuff to tell you, but there really is not a whole lot going on here...
today consisted of making little gifts for Michelle and Tony and Madisyn...I am making ones for Aubryn, Hailee, Maigan and Laurenne as well...and Solomon, Camille and Scott...they are all the same thing, but they are all unique to each person...I have to go pick up some more stuff to make one for KL and Richard and Mum, too...
I am heading to see Michelle in 1 week today...I will be there for 1 week, but will actually be gone from here for 2 weeks...unfortunately, the days I leave and arrive home do not coordinate with Will's days off, and since I have to go to Sacramento to fly out, Will is taking me to stay with his sister on Tuesday or Wednesday, she will take me to the airport Saturday, then she will pick me up the next Saturday and I will stay there again til Wednesday...so, if there is a major lack of postings on mine and Scott's blog for that time period, that's why...I will be gone from home from Tues. Apr. 24 - Wed. May 9
well, since Will is taking a nap before work and Scott is already in bed, I am going to go work on those gifts...
talk to you later :)

my baby is getting so big...I was looking at him tonight as he was sleeping in his bassinet, and he's almost too big for it now...he's getting so long he won't fit much longer...
I remember putting him in there when he was just a few days old and him being so small in there (I will post a picture) but it just makes me so sad, but yet it doesn't...
I just love seeing him grow and progress and learn new things, but I'm so scared of losing my baby...
and every night when I look at him in there, I just can't help but feel overwhelming love for him...he is so beautiful and I just can't even imagine my life without him...
I am so lucky to have a wonderful husband, who also shares in my joys with our child...I couldn't do it without him, you know :) I couldn't...these two are my boys and I love them to death :)

this was then...(a few days old)

and this is now.(a few days over 4 months)

"Redneck Kite-flying"

wow...I had no idea I was so lame...
I was looking at my blog yesterday and apparetnly I have not blogged in 9 days...nevermind, make that 10 days...apparently today is Thursday, not Wednesday...I had no idea...where does the time go???
and the sad thing is I haven't even had anything exciting happen to tell you about...
ooooh, except this...this is some fun stuff :)
on Easter Sunday we went to Will's Aunt Shelly's house for dinner...well, more lunch than dinner, but whatever...and I am proud to say that I am no longer a gun virgin...I got to shoot a gun for the first time ever...and it is WAY harder than it looks.....but I would like to add that I shot the target (a pepsi can) on the first try!!! but I missed the target every time after that...lol
Uncle Wayne then took the kids redneck kite-flying..."What is redneck kite-flying?" you may ask...well, let me tell you...if the kite has no string (which this one did not), you grab a fishing pole, hook the line to the kite and then go out to the middle of a field and let the kite go...redneck kite-flying.
I have pictures...and I smell a scrapbook layout happening...lol
if I think of anything else exciting, I will be sure to tell you right away so i do not forget...
sorry that I am so lame :)

so, this ring is the inspiration for the ring i want for mother's day...what I want is a pink or blue stone put in for each child I have...obviously blue if I have a boy, pink if I have a girl...this way, i can start the ring now with a blue stone for Scott, and add to it after each child is born...
I think I would want a pink tourmaline for girl, and tanzanite for boy.
what do you think???

well, all kinds of things have been going on down here...
it has been crazy warm here...I just got a heat rash on Friday...it crazy hurt!!!
I was moving stuff out of our storage unit on Friday and moved about 95% of the stuff out of there...I must have pulled or tore a muscle in my arm, though, cause it has been super sore...I actually was laying on my bed yesterday afternoon while Scott was napping and he woke up, so I put my elbow on the bed to push myself up and this incredible pain shot though my arm all the way up into my shoulder and I could not move my arm...it hurt so bad and I had to go get Scott and pick him up and change his diaper...it really hurt!!! it had been hurting since Friday, but each day it got worse, yesterday being the worst!!! then today it wasn't so bad until I helped Will moved the rest of it out and that aggravated it again...oh, lucky me!!!
I have been doing tons of scrapbooking...I have done 11 pages, I think, in the past couple weeks, but 3 of those are completed yet...when our comp broke down, all the settings were reset, including our printer...so, currently our computer does not recognize our printer and since I need the printer for 3 of my lo's...well, you get the point :)
Scott is getting much better at taking naps now during the day...I can actually lay him down for a nap and he might actually take one...but no guarantee...lol
he is much better at self-soothing...he LOVES sucking his thumb...great source of comfort...but I think I may have already told you that...I dunno :)
oh, what else is going on???
Solomon turned 9 today...he was making a cake when we called him tonight...hopefully we will be able to see him soon :)
I am planning to buy some black fabric and white fabric to create backdrops for photographs of Scott...I really want to become better at taking pictures :)
gas is crazy expensive here...$3.19/gallon...they are absolutely gauging us...it is absolutely terrible...I figure we are getting pretty close to Canada's gas prices...
we are looking at buying some land in Idaho...you can get 10 acres of land for,like, $60,000 or less...you'll pay for than that for 1 acre here...we would like to buy a bunch of land there, pay it off in a 10-15 yr. period, then build a house on the land and retire there...Will really wants to retire in Idaho...and the nice thing too is that i will be so much closer to Canada...unfortunately, Will probably won't be retired until he's 50, so another 12 yrs'ish (and may put a couple extra years into the department) so, it wouldn't be for awhile, but you never know, he may retire early and we could be there earlier...but only time will tell, I guess...
well, I guess that is all for now...there is always so much to tell, and then when I sit down and type, I forget it all...
so, I am going to go update Scott's blog now with something, I don't know what yet...lol
talk to you soon...

so, I am in love with my sticker/label/magnet maker...
here is a pic of the magnets I made today for our fridge...

so, I was blog-hopping today and I looked at when I last blogged...can you believe it has already been a week???
I can't...
where has the time gone??? I feel sometimes like life is just flying by and I am missing so much...it's weird, really...
just one day you're at church on a Sunday, the next day, it seems, you wake up but it's Thursday, not Monday...where did the week go??? that is the story of my life...
I am amazed that Scott has already been in my life for 3.5 months...technically longer if you count the pregnancy...but 3.5 months...he has grown so much...
one of his favourite things is to fly abouve our heads and bounce in the air...it cracks him up...he's got the sweetest giggle and I just love it!!! Will makes him laugh better than I do...he is really ticklish for Will, too...not so much for me...on Sunday, I was getting him dressed for church and he just lay there laughing...it was so funny and cute...
he loves having a blanket with him at all times so he can suck on it...it gives his gums so much relief as his tooth comes in...I got some really cute pictures of him sucking on a towel this week...he is adorable!!!
not a whole lot has really gone on in the past week to be honest...I went to a baby shower yesterday for a friend of mine who is due in about 3 weeks...she is having a boy...I got to see lots of old friends from my old ward at church there which was really nice...they knew me before and while I was pregnant, but I moved before I had Scott, so this was a good chance for them to see him.
I have been doing a lot of scrapbooking...Scott is still not sleeping during the days for me to do it, I just hold him and scrapbook...I am the queen of multi-tasking!!! sometimes I am able to put him down in the swing for a few minutes so I can use both my hands, but then he may grump again, so back to one-handed I go...oh, the life of a mother who has to keep a baby quiet so daddy can sleep!!!
life is pretty good, overall...
we got termites, though...that sucks!!! they are in the master bathroom right behind the toilet...kinda creeps me out going to the bathroom knowing that bugs are sticking their heads out of my wall...
having them makes me feel so dirty and trailer-trashy...lol
but, it's not like I can do anything to stop termites from invading my house...unless I don't want a house with wood...but wood is very structurally sound..it definitely has it's perks...know what I mean???
they're not like cockroaches...dirty, messy house can equal cockroaches...that I can prevent (which, by the way, I do...cockroach-free home here, fyi), but, termites, yeah, can't prevent those :)
so, the bug guys are coming tomorrow to, cross your fingers, kill them...
but i do have to say, termites look nothing like I would have thought...they're not cute, by any stretch of the imagination, but they don't really look like they could eat wood...but, what do I know??? I never saw one before I saw it poking it's head out of my wall...which I then compared to a picture I found on the internet...(I 'heart' the internet)
but onto happier topics...
Scott and i and Katrine went for our weekly 1.5 hr walk today...it was so nice...the weather was perfect...aka not so hot that I couldn't breathe...I enjoy being able to breathe.
I am glad that we can go walking together..I know if I was left to my own devices, I would not map out and walk a 1.5 hr. walk by myself...I wouldn't...time flies, though, when we walk together...and it is really good for Scott cause he always sleeps for at least 1 hr. of the walk...being outside really relaxes him...
well, I guess that is all for now...
I promise to try to do better with my updates and try to do it again before another week...
