Our New Additions!!!!

Brad and I have some Big news for everyone!!
First, Brad and I are in the process of buying a new home! We've been looking into this for a few months and are going for it now. So, since I'm so excited I'm going to tell you all abouit it! It's about 1,800 sq ft. 3 bed, 1 and a half bath, granite tile in the kitchen, walk-in closet, central air, very spacious, tons of storage, and many other wonderful small details! Brad and I are very excited and can't wait to move in, hopefully before Christmas!
We also needed to jump on getting the house because of our other new addition, who will need a little bit more room! This is our new puppy!!! She is part Lab and Border Collie... Her name is Sadie and she loves mommy and daddy!! She's working on being potty trained and is doing a wonderful job today!!

Sadie is so much fun to watch! She is always making us laugh, from the way she runs, to the way she thinks she's a princess, and the way her feet just can't stay underneath her!

This is to show you how tiny she is!!

Getting ready for my 1st Thanksgiving

So, this Thanksgiving is my first Thanksgiving that I have to cook on my own. Brad and I are going to my house for Christmas and so we will be working during Thanksgiving week. Anyways we are having a few couples over for dinner and I'm making the turkey and I'm pretty nervous because that's the main event. What if I mess it up? What if I burn it? Now, I know the pressure that every Mother or Grandmother or in my case (Father) goes through on this day... it's crazy stressful. So, if anyone had an advise or quick easy recipes, I will gladly take them.
PS. Albertsons is having a deal right now, (at least in Idaho) where you buy 2 Sara Lee's Pies (Cherry, Apple or Pumpkin) and 2 half gallon Bryers Ice Cream all for 6.78 (that's with tax) You can't make a pie for that cheap.
So, if you are incharge of pie, stock up, no limit and it's an awesome deal.
Pays to know an emplyee right?! haa

A Helpless Pair!!

So Brad and I have had a very hard weekend! So many things to cause just the right amount of annoyance.
I have very sensitive skin, so I grew up getting little rashes or things on my skin that usually just went away. But I've had a rash for about a week now and it was itchy and all that fun stuff. But nothing I put on it would make it feel better, we tried just about everything! I finally went to the doctors yesterday and what do you know?! I have shingles! (I decided an actual picture of shingles would be pretty gross... so I thought I would spare you all.) And since I didn't go to the doctor when I first saw the rash, there is nothing she can do or give me. So I have about another week or 2 of the pain. I'm thinking of making a paper chain.. but who knows! Second reason why were a a helpless little bunch is Brad ended up in the hospital while I was at work. As many or you may or may not know, Brad is anaphylactic towards peanut oil, peanuts, any thing with the word nut (pretty much). I don't mind this, it has been a change but I love him so it is worth it to me if he lives! Anways, I worked from 5 to 1:30 saturday night and so Brad went and played guitar hero (guirtaro) with some friends and their wives. His friend had made some hot wings, which I dont' know if you know this but Brad could live off of wings, So he was really excited.
Now the 2 couples that were their, we are really close to one of them and the couple that made the hot wings, it was Brad's first time hanging out with them. So Brad ate one of his wings, and loved the sauce, he asked what was in it, (and usually Danny, who maded the wings doesn't tell his "secret ingredients") Danny told him the secret was the spicy peanut sauce, and Brad and our close friends grabe the bottle and see the first ingredient in the sauce is peanut butter, Brad told them he needed to go to the hospital right away. So they took off to the hospital with Brad's lips and toungue swelling. Luckily I think his air way didn't close up right away because he took a benidryl before going over because of cats. So when I got home at about 1:15 I couldn't believe what Brad was telling me.

So Brad was all better, minus me being a nervous wreck since this is his first reaction since we've been married, I think I stayed up all night checking on him to make sure he was still breathing. But everything is ok Brad is better and I will be soon....hopefully!
