Migraines

Migraines seem to be a more and more common thing in our house here lately. We think Alexus might be having them now. She started out just having headaches every now and then, but then tylenol started not working. We would meet her at the bus stop after school with her crying and her balling up and not wanting to move. After the nurse sent her back to class several times without calling me I made her an appointment with her doctor so that we can get her some medicine to help her and so I can get a document to show her so she will call me when Alexus comes to her with a headache. I hate her having to go through this mess. I have to keep a headache diary for a few weeks. The diary will just have when her headache starts, how long it last, what she ate, and if she did a lot of excercise that day. Hopefully we can figure out what is triguring them. /crosses my fingers.

An Award for our blog!

Thanks Sarah! She gave us an award for our family site. I always hoped people would like our site, but never expected an award. You have made my day! We hope this would be a way for us to keep in touch with our family and friends, and so far it has been great. As part of the award I am supposed to pick seven random facts about myself, and tag friends.

1. I am a very proud military wife.

2. I love the color purple.

3. Andy and I went on our first date since having children at Christmas time. Thanks Larry and Dolores!

4. I went back to work after being a stay at home mom for 8yrs.

5. My kids are my life, and I am very proud of each of them.

6. I hope to go back to school after Alissa starts school in a few years.

Today Andy and I had to go buy a new oven. Ours went out the other night. Andy went to cook himself some food, and smelled smoke when he looked in the kitchen he saw that the smoke was coming from the oven. When he opened it there was flames in it. Yikes! We got a really good deal on the one we got. Normally it sold for $600 and we got it for $300. Yay! Also while we were at Sears we looked at smokers for Andy. They had one that was originally $200 on clearance, but since it was the display and they didn't have the owners manual they knocked another 10% off for us! So we got it for $125. Andy was so happy. He saw the one my mom got for my dad and wanted one ever since. Hope you all have as good of a day as we ended up having. Love you all!

10 year Anniversary!

I can't believe our 10year anniversary is next Friday. We have been together almost 13years! We have had a GREAT 10 years together and I CANNOT wait to see what the next 10years will hold, then the 10 after that, and after that, etc. We have had to make some hard decisions during this time, but I do believe that we made the right ones. We made the decision to join the Air Force, have our beautiful girls, buy a home for our kids, live in San Antonio so our kids can see our family more. We have had our hard times, but we have worked through them. I think that a marriage has to have it's ups and downs in order for people to rely on each other and show that they will be there for the other. Andy is amazing man who has given his everything. He works so many long hours, goes on long trips if needed, and doesn't complain cause it is part of his job. Unfortunately we don't get to see each other as much as we would like, but we make these sacrifices so our kids can have a better life. I love you all, and miss you all A LOT.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ANDY! I LOVE YOU!
