Just our Luck!

2008-09-14T17:11:00.000-07:00

For those of you who know Brad and Myself is aware of our LUCK! There are only two kinds of luck: bad luck and good luck. Have you ever seen the movie "Pure Luck"? That is me and Brad. We have the worst luck any thing bad that could happen it would happen to us. Let me set up the scene.....It is really cold outside, really windy,really wet and we are so excited about picking up Karl to bring him home.We brought J.C. with us to meet Karl so it is the four of us driving on the highway, Karl is on Brads lap, J.C. is on my lap and brad looks over because J.C. is so cute and he says "Look at J.C. cute" and next thing you know it we are about to drive right over a giant man hole in the middle lane of the highway. Are you kidding me what is that all about? We did run over it and our tire blew out.....Karl and I are outside freezing out butts off and poor Brad is fixing our tire and the Jack broke and about ripped Brads arm off, we made it home and all is good.

Tornado, Tornado, Tornado

Friday I was driving to the pet shop for J.C.'s Pawdicure. Yes, I said a Pawdicure what do you expect when your child is a four legged furry friend. Suddenly I cannot see a thing in front of me, my phone rings it is Brad....Get home now there are tornados all over Overland Park. Everyone on the highway pulled over and were getting in the ditches like the radio is telling them to do and there is my husband driving past all of them with little to no visibility "I am fine" he says. Typical, he was not nervous at all since he lived here as a child and I am freaking out seeing how I have never been in a natural disaster and I am terrified of Tornados. We are ok though it missed us.

Moving to the land of Oz

Brad and I decided to make a temporary move to Kansas. I say temporary because we will be back one day... Brad has been out here since March and I joined him mid June. The people here are very nice and there is a lot of good shopping. However, there are two things that are ruining my life..... Bugs and Humidity :) Welcome to the mid-west everyone says. If I hear that one more time I will scream. I go to take J.C. on a walk and suddenly I am being attacked by bugs and all I can hear are Cicada's/Locusts they are kind of like a grasshopper but they make this terrible noise and they are all over!!! They live in wet areas of the country. Yea LaShae & Noah I know you are laughing because they are ruining your life too!!! The humidity is different, you go outside and feel like you are in a dry sauna I already sweat a lot so it has not been the easiest summer for me. It is really nice here and we like our jobs so it will be a great adventure for us.

"Introducing Karl Self"

2008-09-14T15:56:00.000-07:00

While all of you are having babies and starting pre-school our exciting news is a new puppy!!!I am sure you are all jealous, this kind of child never grows up. As if two pets were not enough we decided to add another into the family to make 5. I could not help myself he is so damn cute!Karl Self is his name: he weighs 1lb. 6oz. he is 8 weeks old. He is a long hair chihuahua.In Norse mythology, Karl was the name of the first free peasant, son of Rig and Amma. Rig was the human form taken by the god Heimdall when he produced the progenitors of the three social classes (thralls, peasants & nobility.) Karl means "Free Man" or "Man". So Karl is our little man, he is a daddy's boy.
