Random happenings

Here's a little update.....Since my nephew was born, I went down to spend the day with my sister to help her out in any way and to hold baby Kash. It was nice to just hangout with Shandell. Love that girl!

We have had LOADS of rain last week. So much it started to flood our apartment. It started out a tiny little puddle. I blamed our dog :/ and later which I spent all day apologizing to Libbie because it wasn't her. I felt horrible. But every time I went in to clean it up, the water kept getting bigger and bigger and before we knew it it took up the whole corner and alongside one wall of our bedroom. 

These pictures don't do it justice. I drove in some of the worst rain storms I've ever driven in. It was so bad at night you litterally could not see the lines on the road. I drove one night and there was a couple accidents on the highway and a couple of times I truly hydroplaned. Scary stuff! 

And this picture was just at the start. So water filled up that whole corner and all along the wall behind our bed. So we borrowed a shop vac and sucked up quite a bit of water! We pulled out the fans and let it dry. We had some of  the furniture in our living room and our bed was right close to the door. As little of a thing it was, it still caused chaos for a bit. Our house smelled like musty wet carpet, our stuff was kind spread throughout the house, and I personally just get a bit overwhelmed when my house isn't in decent order. Close to a week later, the carpet finally dried. I was able to clean the carpets, and move our furniture back. It felt SO good to have my house back in place!

Shandell and her husband came out to stay at my parents house for conference weekend. I went out Friday and hung out with them.

I snuggled Kash and was also able to run into town to run a few errands with my mom. 

One of those errands was to pick up my new glasses. I have had glasses since my junior year of high school. I also have contacts but I never wear them. I got tired of my old glasses because the frames were too small so I could see the plastic around the frames. It was making me feel claustrophobic. I know these ones are a bit bigger and not quite as flattering, but I wanted a bigger frame so I could actually see. Good thing I went in to get my eyes checked because they got worse so wearing my new glasses makes a big difference! I can now see the leaves on the trees, the carpet is no longer a blur, and I can see the little strands of grass. It's amazing! haha I have been missing out!

Conference Saturday, both me and Caleb had to work. For me, it was DEAD slow. I guess that's what happens when you live in a big ol'  mormon town. haha! On Sunday, me and Caleb headed out to my parents house for my mom's birthday.

Happy birthday to my mom!! Love this woman to pieces! We had a nice dinner and lots of dessert. Pretty sure everyone fell asleep at some point too. haha

As for other news, me and Caleb are as happy as ever. We have such an amazing marriage and it is a hoot to be married to the guy.

I usually sit here next to him every day. This is where a lot of our chats happen. Here we are, side by side, doing some gaming with my boy. Love him so much!!
