Ode to mi vida loca

Toilet exploded and flooded house with poo water
Had to move out of home to military hotel for a week
miltary hotel = no cable, no dvd player, no dishwasher, no computer...
no computer = not being able to complete finals or homework
no computer = dan is unable to finish speech or exam from his class
no tv = no grey's or DH finale ;(
no tv or computer = catching up on playing boardgames and realizing we should watch less tv and play more board games
Saturday Dan decides to go on a hike with some buddies
Dan's 4 hour hike turns in to 10 hour hike
Dan and buddies did not prepare for all day hike
dan living off of beef jerky and water while hiking half off Oahu = losing 10 pounds
Ben and Leah hike up hill of hell to meet Dan half way with water, trail mix, and bananas
dan has lots of blisters and is VERY sore
Now we are back in poo-less no flood home as of Monday
Now cleaning up the "after flood" and begging teachers to allow late final and homework turn in
preparing for HUGE moving sale
preparing to leave the island
mixed feelings about leaving
welcome to mi vida loca

till next time blog readers......

Wow. Here's to a pooless existence. What a good wife to rescue Dan in his hour of need! Dan, hope the blisters heal quickly! And I wish I could come to your moving sale! (I'm such a garage sale junkie)

Baby "Bean" Gardner first ultrasound

I guess I jinxed myself with the second to last post. I was bragging on how "easy" this pregnancy has been. Well, the good news is that I have yet to lose my lunch, breakfast, or any meal with this baby. The bad news is that I have been losing a lot of blood and having sharp pains in my belly. This was day 4 of those same symptoms, and I decided to head to a DR to make sure everything was okay. The great news is that I saw the baby's heartbeat for the first time and it was strong! And the cervix looks perfect. Also, I went to one of the best OB Women's health centers in the west. The Mary Birch Women and Baby center is amazing! Their staff was wonderful! I was treated by a perionatologist (Dr who deals with high risk pregnancies) who just "happened" to be on staff that day. I felt very reassured after leaving that I had received the best treatment possible. (Shauna - I thought of you the whole time) I realized how blessed I am to always have such great Dr...

Decorating the boys room

I have some decisions to make. For the first 4-6 months Zach will sleep in his cradle in the master bedroom. But then after that, Ben and Zach will be sharing a room. We do qualify for a 3 bedroom. However, I have no desire to move any time soon. So it's decorating time! For the past 3 years Benjamin's room has been sports theme. Dan and I both love sports. That is no secret. However, I am a little burned out of sports theme. And Ben's crib bedding is stained, ripped, and faded. So, I need to decide on Zach's bedding and a new set for Ben. So I need your input! My mission if I wish to accept it, is to choose a new theme for the room without breaking the bank. I also have to keep in mind that whatever we choose for Zach, will be with him for the next 3 or more years. First option - This is my favorite. However Dan insists that is is way too girly and will give Zach a "complex". ;) What do you think? Too girly? We would just have the basic bedding. Not the wall...
