If it weren't for bad luck...

Well things have been a bit crazy for us lately. We have been having problems with our cable bill and been fighting with them about that. Somehow, someone is either intentionally or unintentionally able to order adult movies from our system and we are getting billed for it. So we are disputing like 250 bucks right now. We have had some problems with our cetral air so almost 3 weeks ago someone came to look at it and said our furnace needed some new parts, not something we really didn't know. Well we have our home warranty that will pay for most of it, last week we called both places and got this round about explanation that it was the place that came out and then that it was the warranty place. So that is a lot of fun when it is 90 degrees outside. Then last week we had some horrible storms and had some flooding in our garage and some into our laundry room and a little into the family room. That was not a fun night, up to our knees getting buckets of water off the driveway until almost midnight last Wednesday night. Although, considering the damage that could have taken place we were very lucky, very lucky. Could have been much worse, there were people that lost all their appliances, furniture, carpeting, and much much more. So we are thankful for the small heartache we incurred verses the mass loss we could have suffered. So then we ordered pizza on Sunday and they charged us like 42 bucks instead of the 15 or so they were supposed to. Awesome, something else to add to the pot. Ha-ha, so since Jason's big win at the casino we haven't exactly had what one would consider good luck. Hope that you are all doing well and that things are going well! Have a great Tuesday.

Tuesday

As you can see from the pictures below Jason and I headed to Chicago over the weekend to see the Cubs. We went with some other friends, we had a good time. The day overall was a good day. We did get stuck in a little traffic on the way there, but we dealt with it and we didn't have any problems on the way home so it was all in all a good day, minus the Cubs losing. This weekend Jason is heading to Detroit to watch the Tigers play, he has baseball fever and I opted out of this game so he and his buddy Chad are going. I will probably get some housework done and allow the spaz (Tressel) to drive me nuts! So, for now that's it! Have a good day!

The classic scoreboard. Don't worry about what the score was at the end. The Cubs had 12 hits

Catching up

Well is has been way too long since I have posted. Partially being lazy and the other portion I have been busy. I don't like to say I've been busy as an excuse because we all hear it far too often, the way I see it none of us are that busy! Anyways, to bring you up to date with what has been going on with Jason and I...We took our first cruise May 21 to the Bahamas. We had a great time, we were a little disappointed though with the Bahamas, wasn't exactly what we were expecting. Very poverty stricken and not so glorious. Nonetheless we had a good time. The ship itself was a lot of fun. We took Carnival Cruise Lines and we were on the Sensation ship. The first night we were pretty worn out from the flight and shuttle ride, just a long day. We were able to check out some of the stuff onboard though. Whoever thought of the cruise was a genious. Let's allow people to drink as much as they want, charge them an arm and a leg, but not let them drive anywhere. Oh yeah, and let's put a casino onboard so when they drink too much they will go and lost all their money. We went on a glass-bottom boat ride in Freeport Bahamas, it was neat not worth the money though. Then in Nassau we went to Atlantis Resort and we took a horse and carriage ride through the town which was pretty neat. I have some pictures to scan on here for you to see, gotta mess with our scanner a little though, gotta love technology. We watched a lot of karaoke and a bunch of shows and stuff. The last day on the ship we had about 30 bucks cash left so we decided to try our luck at the casino. Well I was up about 10 bucks and Jason was down about 15 bucks. I was playing the quarter slots and he came over and put 2 bucks in the slot machine next to me. After about 3 times he was up about 50 bucks before we knew it he went again and ended up winning over 300 bucks, then I gave him 25 bucks to play BlackJack and he won another 50 bucks. Needless to say we were pretty happy people, since the trip itself was becoming more expensive than we had planned on. That was a great way to end the trip for sure. We got back on Thursday night, we then headed to Columbus Saturday morning, to meet up with my brother, Mary Beth and of course Clark! We met them at Eddie George's Grill. Pretty cool place. Jason's favorite part was the bathroom where he was able to pee on a steelplated Michigan football and watch a flat screen tv at the same time. Later that night we met up with our friends Chad and Missi to get a nice Italian dinner at this Buca de Bepos, I have no idea if that is how you spell that or not. Then we headed over to the Columbus Crew stadium for the best concert I have ever been to. We watched Sugarland, Dierks Bentley, and the one and only Kenny Chesney! That was one heck of a show! We had a great time! By far my favorite concert, followed by Toby Keith. Jason ended up getting sick and so Memorial Day I headed to my parents house in Defiance for a day with the family. Always good to see everyone! This weekend we headed over to Liberty Center to a bday party for little Seth Navarre who turned 1. He now has enough toys to furnish an entire pre-school class I think. Today I headed over to Defiance again to visit little Clark who is staying with my parents for the week (pray for him :) ha-ha), as Adam and Mary Beth oversee a work camp in Columbus. I think it is awesome that they are doing it right in Columbus, lots of work to be done right here in our hometowns! In the midst of all of this, we have found out that my Grampa has the start of emphysema. He recently got out of the hospital because he came down with a case of pneumonia. He is recovering quite well though. And to the surprise of the family, my Grampa (the smartest man alive) stopped smoking. This is a man who has smoked for probably 60 years. He gave it up cold turkey. I know too little too late, but not really. He is already breathing better and he isn't coughing. It is amazing, the man is 77 years old. He has some strong will-power and I really respect him for that, we all of course wish he stopped years ago, but as they say better late than never. This week I am starting another bout of training at work. I have 10 days of advanced training to help me along. Shouldn't be too bad. The job is going really well. I love what I do, and I am so happy about how my life is right now. I have a husband who loves me, a family who supports me, a job that I enjoy, a puppy that makes me laugh, and a nice house to live in. I truly am blessed! Hope you all are doing well!
