VERY RANDOM!

We haven't been up to all that much this week... Wednesday a cat came to our house... we've always had a cat outside to help w/ the mice since we live practically in a field. Well, the week that they harvested the field beside/behind our house our cat got ran over :( So this really really pretty cat showed up on Wednesday. Brycen was so excited. I think she might be someone's inside cat b/c EVERY TIME we open the door she runs in and wants to stay in. I don't know whose it would be though b/c we don't have many neighbors and I know it's not our neighbors across the road so I guess she is going to hang out outside our house. Whatever room we are in, she goes and sits in that window and watches us. It's so funny. It's been interesting trying to keep her out though b/c she gets in the door really quick! She is a calico and really pretty, B named her "Calico" lol original huh?! Anyway, Wednesday around lunch time B and I went to Wal-Mart... blah! We got it done though... I came home and made two tu-tu's... I really just started out making two... one for each of my niece's for Christmas... but I guess now I'm in business lol. Thanks a lot ABBY YODER! haha. No, it really is fun and it is the only girlie thing I get to do since I have all these boys :) I made Broccoli Cheddar Soup for supper that night... Courtney was that your recipe?? I was thinking so... anyway, it was SOOO good!


I got our water bill in the mail the other day (Monday I think?) and it was more than DOUBLE what it normally is.... I thought, well there is just a mistake so I called them and they said they had installed a new meter by our house so that there was probably just a misread or something and they would have someone go check it and to call back in a couple days. Well, I called back yesterday and it was NOT a mistake! They said we must have a water leak and it must be pretty big b/c since getting our bill we have already used more water this month than the whole last month!! UGH! Sooo when Ryan got home that's what he did, searched for a stinkin' water leak! I felt bad just sitting inside while he was out in the cold, but there wasn't a lot I could do to help. He did find the water leak and it's pretty HUGE! My dad and him are going to fix it tonight. I'm glad he was able to find it... he had to dig up a huge spot in our landscaping though :( At least it is fall/winter so maybe by spring the area will look back to normal... We really do have the worst luck sometimes!


Brycen has been a wild man the past few days. I don't know what his deal is, but he seems to be bouncing off the walls! Must be something in the air b/c now that I think of it, C has been more wild than usual as well bouncing off my insides! I woke up to him kicking me VERY hard this morning- that's the greatest feeling! :) Somehow this morning I woke up feeling very awake! I shouldn't feel that way b/c I slept terrible last night, but I was wide awake and I'm thankful! Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it was easier to get up since it is Friday! haha! Work has been crazy this week with the arrest of the crazy guy who was wanting to blow up the court house... I normally don't take those threats to our office and our prosecutor very serious, because we/he gets them A LOT... just people blowing off steam out their mouth, but this guy... seriously crazy. When I heard about it I knew he really was capable of it... and then they found actual bomb making materials at his house... pretty scary! The Lord was watching out for us though and gave Darrin (my boss/prosecutor) the wisdom to know this time it wasn't just a threat. I'm so thankful for the Lord's protection... the guy was schedule to be in court all this week for his trial... it sounds so weird when you type that out that it actually was most likely going to happen. Just a reminder that we never know when our last day might be... so make sure you live life like it's your last and don't just live for the weekend (like I tend to do sometimes!).


Well, tonight Ryan is having his first appt. with my regular family dr. It will be so much easier to have us all go to the same place here in town. He went there and got his flu shot last week and it is just so much easier. He has been wanting to change the whole time we've been married I guess, but he just doesn't go to the dr. often enough to think about it beforehand. I finally called and got his new patient stuff done for him. He loves the Dr. and already knows him so he is already comfortable about doing it. When I was in h.s. I worked at the dr's office and got close with him. He is so nice! Anyway, Ryan thinks his hernia might be back... or a new one or whatever :( Poor guy! It was this time last year that we found out he had one. I think he needs a desk job, lol!


Well, this must be about the most random blog post ever... I'm eating my last piece of German Chocolate cake for breakfast and then going to take care of a few court hearings. Fridays are usually pretty quiet around here so I'm looking forward to that!
