Our Family Keeping In Touch

I havent been able to post in the last few weeks because everyone in the house has been sick. It just wont seem to go away. We all got it at the same time which made me happy, as I thought it would go away quicker rather than it be someone has it then gets better then someone else gets it...blah blah blah. I hate that kind of sickness. But it seems like we are all still sick. We just cant get rid of it. And on top of that there is something wrong with Davey's tonsils. We took him to the doctor last week because I was paranoid he might have something more than a cold and wanted to get him checked out. I also took him though because his tonsils were so enlarged they were touching and they had red veins all over them. Davey has had large tonsils for over a year now but not like this. The doctor is sending us over to a throat specialist to have a look. So of course I am totally worried. But on a good note, its just a cold. So nothing serious with the sickness, just something in addition.

Now on to some good news. I am a fan of the band MUSE. I have liked them for almost a year now. I know they have been out longer but I just hadnt heard from them. If you havent heard them, but like Radiohead, you will like them. They have a very similar sound, so much I thought it was them at first. I know a few people who thought the same thing. Anyways, our radio station here was giving away their full CD library. YAYAYAYAY!! So last week I tried almost everyday to win. Nothing. Then on Wednesday after driving home from doing a REALTOR showing....BAM...Caller 29! Yay I won! But I also realized I get entered into the drawing for concert tickets to the show here on April 10th, and then fly away tickets to Seattle for the April 2nd show. What? Fly Away? Awesome. We werent going to be able to take a vacation for our anniversary this year like we wanted because we are saving every last dime to buy a house, which by the way is totally happening we are starting to look in two weeks as just about have all of our money saved. So if we won this trip it would so totally be awesome, plus my birthday is 3 days after our anniversary. So the drawing was on Friday to pick the winner. I was told I should get a call by 3:30pm if I won. 3:30 came and passed, then another minute, and another. 3:45 sent a text to David said no call, so I assumed no win. Sis and mom called, nothing, told them the same. As I was leave the store and getting Davey settled we pulled out from our parking spot. Ring...Ring...Hello? Yes this is her...what? I won? (screaming)....get this picture? How awesome is that. Life works in crazy ways. So now we will pay extra to switch our tickets to be able to go a few days early so we can go have fun. I have not been to Seattle since, well since we moved from Washington almost 9 years ago. I love it in Seattle, so I am totally excited.




For those of you who dont know we have the broadway play of The Lion King here in town. It came hhmmm...I think a little over a year ago. My mother and I have been wanting to go, really bad. Tickets, well that is what has pretty much stopped us. They arent too expensive, but still not cheap either. So with my luck up these days they, the radio again :), was giving away tickets all this weekend, so I was listening. I never tried to call in as you cant win more than once in a two week period. Then on my way home last night from the store at 7ish...I decided to try. If I won I would just put it under my moms name so we could go. Call...busy...call...busy...call, you get it. Nothing just busy. Then I decided to make one last attempt. Dial...c'mon make a freaking connection stupid cell phone...Ring...Ring...What? Am I dreaming? Hi you are caller 29...WooHoo!! Yay...I won again. What the heck are the odds. I have never one like this on the radio. 99% of the time I dont even get through, and if I do its for like a movie pass or something. Nothing as great as this. So David is obviously going to seattle with me, we will see the concert there. The April 10th concert, I am taking Julia for our birthday, and now I get to take my mom to something as well. Yay me!

I totally need to go and play Mega Bucks or drive to stateline and pick up a lotto ticket. :)

Well that has been just the weekend. I am looking forward to the next two months as we are going to start looking to buy our first home, yay, Davey and the boys are starting swimming lessons, Easter, my anniversary, and my birthday are coming up, a mini vacation now is coming up, concerts, and my family is coming in May. Both from my side and Davids. Yay. Busy next few months but well deserved.

I hope all is well with you guys out there. Leave a comment on my blog so I know you are reading. FYI...you do not have to sign up to do so.

I love you all.
