Well, Monday was the worst morning we've had in a long time. We got caught in horrible traffic on the way to the chiro, then when we finally made it out of there, on the way to work with Chris, we almost got into a head on collision because some idiot was driving the wrong direction on the road. Then, we got a voicemail from the pediatrician's office saying that the doc was sick and so Braxton's appointment had to be rescheduled. Sigh. After I had gone all the way in with Chris and was hanging out at work. So we decided to come home, but Chris wanted me to call the dentist first because he was having SERIOUS pain with his extraction sites. So I gave them a call, even though they were on vacation. The dentist wanted to meet us at 11:30, so we bailed out on work and went to see him. Found out that Chris had dry socket, which was causing the pain, so the dentist gave him some stuff to help and some higher dose percocet and sent us home. Thankfully the rest of the day went just fine.
Tuesday was a normal day, not much happened, we just kinda hung out. Chris stayed home while recovering from the dry sockets and we watched a lot of tv. Wednesday he was back at work, and Braxton and I had a normal day. However, Wednesday was also our 3rd anniversary, so we had a special dinner of wild lobster tails and steak.
Thursday and Friday were also normal. though we did have lunch with Wyatt on Friday, which was wonderful. He's doing great and it was really nice to see him. On Saturday we went and viewed 3 houses in our never ending search for a new place to live. I was getting really discouraged because it seemed like either every place was too expensive, didn't allow pets, already rented by the time I called, or nobody ever emailed me back. And when they did email back, it was a scam, they just wanted me to send them money. I was starting to really wonder if we'd EVER find a new place.
We got lucky on Saturday and actually found a place that we like. It's smaller than here, but not by too much. It's also a bit of a fixer upper, but we can deal with that. One nice thing about it is that it has an option to possibly buy it. So we filled out an application. Hopefully we'll get approved and I can stop searching.
Today we decided was our day to really celebrate our anniversary, so we had Anna babysit, and we went out to a movie and dinner. It was great! We saw Transformers 2, which rocked! It was awesome and we were so glad we went to see it.
Then we went to dinner at Olive Garden. Yummy as always. Though dessert was a Black Tie Mousse Cake thing that almost put me into sugar overload. LOL. It was yummy though.
Anna said that Braxton did fine, wouldn't eat much and only slept for 20 minutes, but wasn't too fussy. He was glad to see us and we were glad to see him too. I go through baby withdrawals if I'm not around him. I think that's because I'm so used to having him with me every minute of every day. It's nice to have a bit of a break now and then though.
Well, that's all our news for now. Hope you all are well. See ya soon.

6 months!!
Well, Braxton is officially 6 months old today. It's crazy how time flies. He's so big now, though I don't know exactly how much he's grown yet. I will on Monday at his appointment. I'll post again after that so you all know how big he's getting.
I'm doing well, just hanging out and taking care of the family. Getting a little annoyed with the search for a new place. I haven't had much luck so far. All the places are either too expensive, don't allow pets, trashy, or the people never email me back. Chris keeps reminding me that we don't HAVE to move out of here by the end of July, cause our lease goes month to month, but I just don't think we can afford to keep living here anymore. I'm combing craigslist several times a day for both Provo/Orem and Salt Lake trying to find anything worthwhile. I've had a few leads, but like I said, people don't ever email me back. I'm keeping my fingers crossed though and hoping.
Chris is doing fairly well, he had his wisdom teeth extracted on Thursday, so he's still recovering from that. They gave him percocet, which makes him sleepy and groggy. He's recovering well though, except for some aches in the jaws. He's been working some long hours trying to get the website done, but they have finally gone back to normal. We're so glad.
Unfortunately, his grandpa Tom passed away on Wednesday night after a battle with cancer and pnuemonia. We're happy that he's not suffering and in pain anymore, but we'll miss him.
On a brighter note, we're planning a quick trip down south to see mom and all our friends down there over the 4th of July. We hope everyone will be around. I'd love to see all my school friends and show Braxton to them.
Then the next weekend Chris is going to go fishing with his dad. It'll be just Chris going because we're poor and can't afford 2 trips in a month for the whole family, so yeah, just Chris.
Well, I think that's everything for now but I'll post again on Monday after the appointment.

Sorry!
Hey all, I'm so sorry that it's taken me so long to update. We had some events going on that caused me to not have much free time. My birthday was great, I got the Twilight books from Anna, and some other books that I've wanted from Chris. He made dinner and homemade cookies as well. It was a really fun day.
Unfortunately right after that, we heard that his grandpa had gotten sick and was in the hospital, so we made an emergency trip up to Boise and spent some time with him. We were there for 5 days, and then we headed home. It was a hard trip, but we got to see everyone and Braxton did really well with all the traveling.
Then the week after that, Chris ended up working SO much to make up for missing the week before. He was getting up a 7 am to go in, and then getting home at 3 or 4 in the morning. He worked a whole week on a few hours of sleep a night. He ended up crashing pretty hard on Saturday.
The last few days he's been working a lot too because they are trying to get the website done. I've been doing a lot of parenting by myself, and I have to say...I did NOT sign up to be a single parent and I don't like it at all! I'll be glad when I can have my husband back and Braxton can have his father back.
Well, let's see, what else. Oh, Chris has a dentist appointment in mid july to FINALLY get those teeth fixed so that they will stop bothering him. We're looking forward to that. But before that, we've got Braxton's 6 month checkup and vaccinations. I know for a fact that he's over 17 lbs because I weigh him every week at the chiropractor. We've also got a fishing/visiting trip in the beginning of July. Chris is going fishing/camping with his dad and uncles and Braxton and I are going visiting in the city.
It will be great to see everyone. Then we'll be coming home and moving! I think I found a house today, we're gonna set up a time to go see it. But I feel really good about this house and I'm hoping we can make it work.
Anna is still living here, and will be for as long as she wants to. We're working on getting her into school full time since she just lost her job. She's wanted to go to school for years, but hasn't been in a situation that allowed her to until now. We're happy we can help her get there.
I think that's everything for now. I'll update again soon. Love ya!
