Its been AWHILE

Boy its been awhile since I posted anything. I guess a lot has been happening!

In the last post I talked about how we got a new dog. Unfortunately we had to find her a new home. She was not good with children and bit our nephew 3 times.

We moved into a new place! Dave's parents own rental property and one of the renters moved out! What we thought was going to be a little project, turned into a MASSIVE project! The previous renter completely trashed the place. Right as you walked in there was a huge black burned spot on the carpet. Therefore, we had to replace the carpet (No complaints here). There were also patched holes EVERYWHERE so we slapped a nice coat of paint on the walls and it was like new! We also got a new dishwasher and stove. (Best in-laws ever)... Do I get extra points saying that?

We decided we wanted new furniture so we took a trip to good ole RC Willey. We had looked at other places like Ashley Furniture and we were not having any luck finding what we wanted. We walked through all of RC Willey and were finding absolutely nothing! Actually we found stuff, but it was thousands more dollars than we really wanted to pay. We decided to go back in the clearance/as is section........ BAM! There were these 2 beautiful couches that popped out at us! Not realizing it we both walked over to the same ones and sat in them. We both looked at each other and said these were the ones... We also got a killer deal!!! My mom decided to show up to help us with our decision making and she said we made a good pick. While they were running our credit and information we decided to walk around and look at tables and BAM another thing popped to our attention. It was a beautiful kitchen table for a KILLER deal! So my mom decided to buy it for us. Boy did we walk away with a grundle of furniture!

It came the day when our furniture was supposed to be delivered. The delivery guy had called me and told me he had wrecked his truck on route to delivering to us. He pushed our deliver date out two days later which ended on black Friday.. (They messed up my shopping schedule). I waited four hours for them to deliver. I decided to call and they guy had the nerve to tell me he was still an hour out!! He finally showed up and he only had the kitchen table!! I was fuming because I had already gone a week without couches. Soooooooooooooooo my mother-in-law decides to take me down to RC Willey to file a complaint.... Turns out the couches are on back order until December, but they failed to mention that to me in the ordering process. So I still have no couches to sit on... Makes me frustrated. Maybe I will recieve them this week. *Fingers crossed*

I made a decision on my major. I only changed it a bajillion times! I'm looking into Radiation Therapy. It requires a lot of schooling, but I think I can do it. (I need family and friends to tell me I can do it). I think overall I would be a good candidate for it and it would be a rewarding job. I know my dad would be really proud of me to finish the program.

IT'S CHOPPED!!

So I finally chopped my hair off! 6 inches off!! I don't think I have had hair this short since I was a little girl. I feel pretty naked, but it was a good change.

Life is too short...

This year has been such an eye opener for us. We have came to realize how short and delicate life really is. This year we've been through the passing of my father, the passing of Dave's grandfather, emergency open heart surgery for Dave's dad, and health complications for Dave's other grandfather. Remember every day to tell your family and friends how much you love them and care about them because you never know when they will be gone.

Today my dad's best friend Rick passed away. He was the same age as my dad. (Too young). My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and kids at this time. I hope they have comfort knowing that he is no longer in pain anymore and he is in a much better place.
