Happy New Year

Wow, this is pretty sad, it's September and I'm just now writing my first blog entry of 2009! A lot has happened...for everyone. First of all, congrats to my friends Platinum Rose and Anne McClane who are both expecting,yay! No baby for us yet but we're still faithful and so is God. One thing I am working on in that respect is to gain a little wieght because I'm about 8 pounds under. We have started to remodle our house now and made an exciting find...hardwood flooring is hiding under all the gross carpet in the house. We have one guest room done and are working on our room now so the house is a crazy mess but it's going to look great. My Grandma had a pacemaker put in and then had a stroke a few weeks ago so that has been really hard but she is in a good therapy program and is making progress though it is slower progress than she thinks she should be making. I think in her mind she is still a young woman and she feels likeshe should just bounce right back so we are just encouraging her to be patient with herself. Please pray. Our recent drama is that our cat, Mir, got out Friday morning and I had to leave for work without finding her. I called and told my husband she was missing on my way to work and then he called me on my lunch break and said he was at home and had looked everywhere for her with no luck. Wow, I was so worried I just cried in my car the rest of my break and prayed that God would bring her back safe and sound. When I got home at around 6:oo she was still lost and Chris started talking about making posters and I really lost it. She really is like our baby especially for me because I've had her for almost ten years since she had just been weened. So we drove around the neighborhood once more then I just started wandering the house thinking maybe she was just hiding really well in our huge mess and I looked out the window in our room that looks out on our backyard and I saw her little face peek out from around the shed in our neighbors backyard. I freaked out and ran into the livingroom shouting "she's in the backyard!" Chris went around and got her and he handed her over the fence to me and she's never been kissed so much in her life. She was home safe and sound just a little dirty and with some little scratches on one ear. My mom called later when she heard we found her and she said," did Mircat get a spankin'?" I laughed and said no because we were just so glad she was back but I did get the scruff of her neck later when I was kissing her somemore and said that this was so she knew I was her mom and to never do that again!

Early Thanksgiving

My parents and,I think, my grandma are coming to our house this weekend for sort of an early Thanksgiving. They will be our first house guests and I am so excited to have them here for the weekend! We will, most likely, be hosting the Thanksgiving Day festivities for Chris's side of the family so we won't be seeing my family for the actual holiday( although we will probably go down for part of that weekend so my mom and I can put their tree up) so they are coming this weekend for a little pre-holiday celebration!

Happy Weekend, Everyone! I hope you all get to relax and have some fun:)

Back again, with big news!

Hey everybody, I'm back....again, and this time I have BIG news!

First-WE BOUGHT A HOUSE! Yep, yesterday, november 10, we signed the papers and bought Chris's grandpa's house. We officially closed on the house yesterday but we actually moved in on holloween day and the move went really smoothly. My mom came up and brought their van and we all packed our cars and Chris's freind rented a pickup truck and all in all it only took us a couple trips. The really amazing thing is we were unpacked and everything was put away by the next day( thanks Mom)! I love living in a house again. Our apartment was cozy and a great starter place for us but I love having space to move. The best part is we have a table and a breakfast nook thing and two fully furnished guest rooms so we can have a lot of people over!

Last but NOT least- We have decided to start trying to have a baby!! I am so excited.

Welcome to year two!

August 19th was our two year wedding anniversary! I cannot believe it has been two years, I mean, I can hardly believe that I'm old enough to be married for two years! It was a great day. I maid a new dress to go out in and we went to this cute place called Rick's Boatyard Cafe'. We got to sit outside by the water and Chris kept throwing down potatoe chips so that cute little birds would come near. He got me a bouquet of roses called Dark Lulus and, since two years is the cotton anniversary, I got him a tee shirt of the many emotions of Chuck Norris, which is like nine shots of Chuck Norris with the same expression that say different emotions. He thought it was hilarious. That was our day; welcome to day 732 of my life as Mrs. Gaizat!

Sad News

Chris called me at work today and told me that his dad called and said his grandpa died Teusday night. In a way it was unexpected because he was doing so well. When we visited him the day after he had all his feeling and range of motion back and was to be released this week but then he had another stroke. Thank you for all your prayers, they were appreciated and still are!

Prayers Needed

Chris's grandpa had a stroke last night. He is able to move relatively normally but he has slurred speach and he doesn't feel pain on his left side. The doctors aren't letting him eat until tomorrow when a speach therapist can evaluate him and make sure he is able to swallow properly. We have each had a grandparent die of a stroke so we are a little worried. We are happy that he seems to be stable but we would appreciate all of your prayers!

My Day Off!

I'm so excited today because it is my day off! From time to time my work will schedual people off but pretty much every time they schedual me off they will come find me like an hour before I leave the day before and ask me if I can actually come in. I have been sort of frustrated by that in the past but today, as I enjoy my day off, those past disapointments just make this day that much sweeter!
