so...

the car (the Vue) is officially 'totaled' and J and I are in search of a new vehicle. We start our search on saturday, hopefully. And, by the way, J and I went and watched "The Happening"....I would just like to mention that I did not like it. This is actually probably one of my least favorite movies. I was pretty willing to leave, not out of disgust or anything, but just cuz it was no good. some people may like it, but I for one did not. not at all. neither did J. so, yeah, I wouldn't suggest seeing it. Also, for all those of you who have migraines, I can sympathize. I've had a couple before, but they (apparently) weren't that bad. I learned what they are all about on Monday. It was enough pain that I couldn't see very well, I couldn't focus, or walk straight, it made me vomit, everything looked like looking through a really bright haze, and it hurt so bad it made me cry. That has NEVER happened before. It was aweful. Luckily for me my Aunt Nancy and Cousin Jessica came to my rescue. Nancy came and picked up M for me and brought me pain killers, and then Jessica babysat the rest of the evening and Nancy returned her at the end of the day. I don't know what I would have done without them, because I couldn't move or think straight...and I still don't think this was as bad as some people get. I'm just praying it won't happen again. Thank you Nancy and Jessica. (and Josh, i think he helped too.)

Seriously, good luck car shopping, that sucks. And I wish I had those two around for my migraines! Not to mention I hope I will never get them when I have kids. But I TOTALLY agree with your Happenings review! I thought it was ridiculous.
I love you. Sorry about your headache.

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

back to school

We had a great trip up to Idaho for a family reunion (J's side of the family) after a short camping trip with some of my family in Iowa (not family from Iowa, just where we met up). We've been pretty busy and summer has disappeared. It didn't help that I had summer classes,and only 3 weeks off. We got to do some rough scouting in Colorado, to see where we might likely live when we finally move. Quite a few good stories, but I split them up. When we were in Colorado Springs we decided to go to Seven Falls - where they told us the Mountain elevator is broken, so they will take $1 off our admissions. We agreed, not minding 185 steps....wait, what did J just agree to? So we went to climb said stairs, which were small, and steep and seemed to go on forever; about half way up - the first set of stairs - M gets tired of climbing (we saw this coming,and I didn't blame her, I was tired too!) so I take E from J and J picks up M (he's stronger after all). We push ourselves th...

halloween was lots of fun. we went to the Family Fall Festival at Aunt N's. M had lots of fun being dressed up...as a witch! She was adorable, and I appologize, but I have no pics. I completely forgot to bring my camera. Hopefully I can steal some from Aunt N. M had a skirt with fiber optics on it that lit up different colors, and she wore glow sticks as well. She had a cute witch hat, orange tights with bats, and a black shirt that says "my magic power is being cute." She even won the costume contest and got delicious Choxie chocolates as a prize. The chocolates were really cool actually because they were little cups of chocolate, made out of chocolate, with different flavors of soft chocolate in the middle...like caramel, pistachio, milk choco...etc. CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE!! We are really enjoying them. there is only one left actually. Oh, and I finally got everything finalized on the Buick my mom sold me, so now it is officially mine, tags and title!...
