Today our safety gal came in for our usual monthly meeting hear at Addax. She is my monthly dosage of estrogen in the workplace. She is super sweet and is always fun to talk to. Well today she had some news. She found a puppy by the side of the road a few weeks ago. The vet looked her over and said she is in good health and about 2mts old. She also has an 8 yr old beagle who is not fond of the puppy's energy. She is now in the process of looking for a good home for "Maddy".
You know she had to have a picture so you know that now I am getting a playmate for Cypress. I have only told Justin that I have a big surprise for him but other then that he knows nothing. :) I can't wait to see how Maddy and Cypress get along and see the look on Justin's face. I am super excited!!!!!
I will post picks of the pups when I take some.

She'll be comin' 'round the Mountain...
Or the hills of the FL panhandle in my case. That's right folks my MIL is moving in. In the course of 3 months of being married, two of Justin's family members will have lived with us. Crazy huh? Ever since we have decided it would be best for multiple reason for her to live with us, everything as been flipped upside down.
Saturday we were suppose to have family pictures scheduled for 1:30. Well while I was at work with my sisters the office phone rings. It is Justin, in a panic. His sister had been in a bad car accident and had some head trauma. I left work, called my boss, called my assistant, and called my mom all before making it home. I had arranged everything. Justin left to go cash his paycheck (which of course had come later then normal) and change the oil in the car. While he did that I packed. When he got home he told me that his dad wanted to make the trip with us. *great* Well within seconds of us closing the trunk and starting to turn everything in the house off his sister's friend called, his sister was being released from the hospital and the doctor said everything looked "great". WTH?!!! Here we were debating on packing funeral attire with the way they were talking and now miraculously she is fine? How does that happen? So I begin to unpack the car, she is fine, no need on us making a 13 hour + trip. NO Justin still wants to go and stay the whole week since we were planning on making it out for Fallon's bday anyway. I know I simply can not take off of work for an entire week (not like he should either).
I tried to argue the most I could then realized it was pointless. I had to let him go. He left Saturday at 1pm and I have hated every minute of it. He should be back sometime on Sunday (hopefully). The best part is he is in my car!!! So I am stuck with his car until Sunday. What if I break down? He is more worried about his sister who is using him then his own wife?!!! I have barely talked to him and when I do I can not even get his attention!! I am competing with everyone over there!!! I am PISSED right now!!!!

Disney world blues
In the beginning of our Feb Fl vaca I had decided to try and price out Disney World for a few days (4/5 max). I researched and researched. Finally I came to the conclusion it would be MUCH cheaper to stay at Disney's campground in our BEAUTIFUL tent that Aunt Mary gave us. Well that knocked our cost down by HUNDREDS (literally). The total came to about $720 total. Not too bad but when we are considering food, drinks, gas, Shuttle launch (the reason we are even going to FL) and tent reservations in Cape Canaveral and Tampa, it all adds up to ALOT more!!! $1500.00 approx. WOW that is ALOT of money to BLOW in one trip and come back to NOTHING in saving.
On top of all this Christmas is coming around the corner, Justin is buying a new computer in Dec. and he REALLY needs a better car. Also we are planning on moving in March when our lease is up and really need some room in our budget for the deposits, furniture, food for help, etc.
As of right now we only have $400 in our savings acct and the beginning of the month is ALWAYS our tightest budget wise. Hopefully everything will work out well for the upcoming holidays and vacation. We are seriously going to have to be some saving fools!!!

Preconception Appt
Today was my annual/preconception appt at Dr P's office. I have to admit after a weekend FILLED with bickering with Justin I was just not in the mood. There I was seated among all of these glowing preggos feeling jealous. But I digress.
Everything checked out normal and I am on Provera for 10 days as well as prenatals until I finish bfing. That should be fun to remember. LOL. I know Justin and I will be blessed with a LO when God is ready but sometimes my heart overrules my head and I can't keep the two from fighting it out, but I am really trying.
On a positive note also we put more money in our savings account today. We are trying to get to Disney World in Feb. so we are saving as much as possible. I really would not want to spend all of our savings on one trip when we have MANY other things we really need (ie a new vehicle, bigger house, pay off debt, etc) but if we don't go now who knows when we will be able to go again. And we have to go to the shuttle launch or Justin will just DIE!!! While in FL we can't forget to visit the in-laws *forcing smile*. I am planning on camping out there though so we wont have to stay at their house(s). I refuse and since I am the wife now I can be as bitchy about it as I want. :P
I know this is all over the place but at least it is out in the open now.

I'm a Mommy(sorta)
The other day the "no baby blues" hit the Wright house BAD!!! (which has since left thank you very much). It actually hit so bad that I was willing to purchase a puppy to settle the itch. For anyone that knows me that is a BIG Shocker since I dont do pets. Well we called up the manager of the complex to see how much for the pet fees and the requirements and lets just say WOW!!!! $300 for the fee, an extra $50 a month and it has to be under 15lbs. Needless to say I said HELL NO!!! to the puppy idea. If we are saving to have a LO then I am not wasting it on a puppy.
Justin and I decide to go to the pet store just to play around and maybe settle the itch. Once we were there we finally decided on a Beta fish. Simple but still a pet. We finally found one that didn't look half way dead. I also didn't want the typical red or blue one (yes I am very picky). We finally found a yellow female Betta fish, a large brandy glass shaped fish bowl and *of course* Justin found a live water plant for her to play in. We spent 45 mins and $ 50 at PetSmart.
We brought her home and named her Bubbles. So far she is doing good. Justin said he is happy we got a pet because now he can talk so someone when he is in the doghouse.

Weekend with the girls!
I love my sisters and do not get to see them nearly as often as I would like to. This weekend Justin and I headed to the "metroplex" of Butte La Rose to hand out candy and judge the costume contest at the campground. It was fun. Afterwards the girls wanted to spend the night at our place. Now that my BIL is out of the apt they can come more freely. They came over Sat. night and we had a ball. Justin drove them over to redbox and picked up Nim's Island and stuff to make frito pies (yes they eat healthy at my house). We all spralled out on the floor and watched movies and laughed and played.
After church on Sunday we all carved pumpkins and watched the Saints win. (our pumpkins are rotting already thank you very much, but that will be another post)
This weekend we will be heading out to Arnaudville to see the girls play in the Battle of the Bands at my Alma Mater. They are competing and marching for the first time. Justin and I will be there from 4pm and it is slotted to end at 10pm!!!! That is one long a$$ day!!! But I am sure we will have fun.
I am so proud of my sisters and all they have accomplished over the years. They are truely growing up before my eyes!!
