So there have been a few things that have happened lately that I have neglected to post (due to the fact that I had a Super Saturday to get through), and no I am not pregnant.
1.) You may have noticed the last few pics of Morgan with a band aid on her chin. Well she split it open while trying to get in the van. It was pretty nasty and we were going to take to urgent care (yet again) to get stitches, but had to run home 1st for something and noticed our neighbor (who is also a nurse) was home and doing stuff outside. We asked her to look at it and see if we needed to really take her in and she (being the great neighbor she is) looked and decided it could be fixed with some NuSkin (I love that stuff). So we just kept an eye on it and made sure it stayed clean and closed and it worked. If she scars at all, it will be minimal, yeah.
2.) Malia started walking a about 2 weeks ago. She's been walking on and off for about a month but not consistently until about 2 weeks ago. She is so cute when she walks though. I'll try and get a video in the near future (no promises though).
3.) We are NOT moving!!!!! Randy had just turned in his grad application and was checking in with the recruiter to find out if they got everything and when to expect to find out anything, when he got an email telling him that it wasn't being made official yet but SUU was cutting their forensics program due to budget cuts. Randy was devastated. This is what he has wanted since he started college (alooooong time ago) and now this. He was told about another program down there that isn't the same but might be something he'd be interested in and found out it is offered at the Y as well. So he is applying here and there for a Masters in Public Administration. So we will be here at least until the end of summer or maybe here for another 2 years. We shall see. Even though this was a huge blow to him, I am very grateful that I do not have to pack up and move (yet again) and get to be in a place for more than 2 years. (Yeah for me).
4.) Since we are not moving and will be around for all of the holidays, we are going to enjoy them and go spend the first round of them with my family (all my sisters are getting together which has really never happened since we lived in the same house together). So I am really excited.
However, Randy is not as excited about going up because Thanksgiving lands on our anniversary this year which is a pretty big one. We are celebrating 10 years together and we will be with my family, and go see Twilight with my seesters, and enjoy black Friday together, how much better could it get, tee hee hee. I told him though that we could go out and not have to find babysitters, which kinda helped with the idea of going there.
5.) Randy's parents sold their home in Oregon this last weekend. It's been on the market since the middle of the summer and they were getting a little worried with the way the economy and the market have been going they didn't think it would sell for a while. But they accepted an offer, and as long as everything goes well, they will be down here before Christmas, which will be great for all of us. It will be bitter sweet for Randy and his siblings though, they were all pretty much born and raised in that house. It was a great house, with a big yard and lots of memories for them. Onto a new chapter though.
Alright enough with the updating and no photos. Have a great week.

You guys have been busy! Must be hard to change life plans because a school doesn't offer something anymore. I hope things work out for Randy and your family! What fun holiday plans! I was thinking about your anniversary the other night thinking it was Larry and I's 10th anniversary since he proposed this Thanksgiving and that would be yours also! I hope it is a nice one for you! I think I need a nurse for a neighbor! Last time Brock got stitches the ER doc didn't even stitch it tight and it is going to leave a BIG scar right by his eye!!! We can call him scar now! poor kid is scared for life!
I think I am in denial about the bittersweet selling of the house we grew up in. I'm not in denial of it selling, I'm just not realizing how weird it will be to never go into it again. I think it will hit me in a few weeks when we go back to pack up Mom and Dad.
It would be harder if Mom and Dad were moving to some far off place, but to have them move so close is a huge plus! Also, seeing so many of our friends like the Blake's move off that street, it makes it easier and I don't feel as attatched as I was. It's not the same street I grew up on.
With all of the improvements they have made to the house, it doesn't quite feel like the same house as well. The house I grew up in had a shag green carpet and there wasn't a back patio awning. The kitchen was carpeted in some funky paisley berber type stuff and the furniture was a gold couch or a green hand-me-down couch from Grandma and Grandpa. My old room had a strawberry shortcake pink colored carpet.
Those were the days and they are tucked in my memories. I'm glad I have come full circle now and am not so attatched to things as much to people. Well, that's my thoughts for now! I'm sure they will change tomorrow:)
I split my chin open when I was younger, and had to get stitches, then the day I got my stitches taken out, I fell again, and split it open again! MORE STITCHES! FUN! Yeah, I am a crazy one, and you are crazy busy, so there you go!
