A Few Last Words...


before heading to Colorado! I am both excited about and dreading the trip. Can't wait to get there but don't want to do all the driving to make it happen. I have been cleaning and packing and working on school. That has been my life this week. Well that is an exaggeration. I have gotten to do quite a few fun things as well. This is a graphic I made from the rose picture from the previous blog. I am using on my midterm web design project. I have to redesign a non profit organization's website. Not for real! Just for the project.
Well, our car troubles just keep on a comin'. Aaron wrecked the Honda this week. On Tuesday he was turning left through an intersection down by UT Southwestern and a guy T-boned him on the passenger side. I was so glad no one was riding with him. They would have been hurt. Thankfully, Aaron wasn't hurt. He hasn't complained of being sore so that is good too. They moved the accident from the intersection. Our car was barely made it to the 7/11 parking lot on the corner. The other guy's car just had a few scratches. Anyway, since they move the accident the policeman that came did not issue any tickets or even file a report. He gave Aaron and the other guy a form and told them to send it in. Also told them to exchange insurance info and then he took off. Very helpful. There was an eyewitness of the accident who said that it was the other guy's fault and he ran a red light. So now the insurance company is doing a big investigation. Since the stories are conflicting between the people in the accident they are hiring a private investigator to go look at the light sequences in that intersection. It is going to be a long drawn ordeal and we don't know if we'll get anything out of it in the end. We thought the place where we had the car was charging us $30 a day to keep it there, but if the insurance totals out the car, which they will, then we can keep it there for 30 day, no charge while we decide what to do with it. It is a big mess.
I went to see Get Smart this week with Tricia and some of her friends. I enjoyed it. Just the right amount of cheesy to be hilarious. Tricia and possibly Rachel are coming over for tacos tonight. So I have had a social life which is nice.
Tonight is Aaron's last day of night class. The students did not want the other teacher to come in and teach them anything, which is why Aaron tried to accelerate the class in the first place but some of them didn't want to do that, so he is having to stay late and teach them the other two chapters before the final. I think it's going to be a late night for him. The good thing is that he will only have to get someone to proctor the final so he won't have to pay them to substitute like he thought he was going to have to.
We'll try to leave by 8 tomorrow morning. That's 7 Colorado time, so barring any car problems, which ya never can in our case, we should be able to get in before dark which would be so nice. I hate getting in late at night. It makes the day seem so much longer. Pray for our Isuzu tomorrow!

Craziness. So glad that no one is hurt. Hope that all gets worked out. I'm in a little bit of disbelief that we're heading to Colorado next week. We're leaving on Wed so we can split up the drive, so it won't be as bad as before. Have a great trip! Can't wait to see you next week!

Man, ya'll are cursed when it comes to vehicles. Hopefully this is the last in your string of bad luck.

But at least no one was hurt.

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

 Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery.  We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before.  This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building t...

Another Sonogram

We went to the high risk pregnancy doc today for another sonogram. This time he could see all four chambers of the heart, the pulmonary valve, etc. In his words it looked "dramatically better". He feels there is still some slight compression on the heart and that we need to continue watching it. As of now he cannot see anything that is causing it and the MRI did not see anything either. He also felt that the hands were okay. They are not clenched fists at least as he first thought, meaning that the fingers aren't overlapping each other. Her hands are still in fists and she won't open them but he said he has had other babies that have not opened their fist in the sonogram but the hands have been normal at birth, so we still have a lot of hope for those little hands. He was able to get a better look at the face today, no cleft palate, so that is a huge blessing. The feet are still concerning. They are definitely clubbed but she is also not moving them. She is moving her...

More Miss Maddy pics

Here are some more pictures of Maddy. I know everyone is eager for pictures. We got to put her first little outfit on last night. She got out of the incubator bed and into a regular bassinet so she can now wear clothes and have her own blankies and stuff. It is great.
