Ventin Session

I am here venting, so if you don't want to read about all of the negativity in my life, please stop reading now!

Insurance sucks... well at least Liberty Mutual does, and so does our insurance agent. I suggest if any of you readers have them, drop them like a ball as quickly as you can and find a new insurance agency. They are money sucking arses, who like to make your life a living hell and pay the least amount possible, so they can bring in the big bucks. Like giving us $94 bucks a a set of brand new tires that we still owe $800 on... what a joke. Our insurance adjuster never calls us back, and when she does, she is abrupt and rude and can't answer any of our questions. I would like to literally smack them in the face. I have all this anger built up... I don't know what to do with it.... Every hour of every day I am on the verge of crying... We moved to baker city for a new beginning. Ben a new job, lower rent, lower bills, hoping everything would get better. Since the minute we have been here, it has been one thing after the next to bring us further down into this black hole that we live in. Can't we ever get a break...

I have been trying so hard to have a positive outlook on life, but recently it is so hard. I hate everything that's going on, I am a time bomb just about to explode. It's not like we meant to get in an accident, it's not like we wanted to total our car. SHIT HAPPENS, and insurance is supposed to fix it,... bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep.........i could scream, but i won't, i could hit something, but i won't, i could kick something, but i won't, there are a lot of things i COULD do right now to make me feel better, but it's not in the best interest of the physical things I own, so I will not. I need an out, and I need to figure out what that is, so my life goes back to normal. PLEASE HELP ME!

I'm at it again!

I have resolutions, just like everyone else...

I need to lose this dang weight. It has been a constant battle for me since I had Hayden. I get going, then I hit a wall and nothing seems to change. I NEED CHANGE. Anyone have any suggestions?

Happy New Year

As 2008 rolls to a close, I have had a lot on my mind about everything that has happened this year. We have had a ton of obstacles to overcome, every time we turned around, something new was there to punch us down.... Our life this year seems like a never ending disaster... And even though, it's one thing after the next, I am thankful that Ben and I, are strong enough to get through it together. Thinking back, I wouldn't change my life, or the situations arisen, because I am a more knowledgeable and humble person because of it. I am thankful for the the supportive people in my life. I am a better person because of them. I am grateful for the love i have been given, and hope that I was able to show others the love I have for them.

Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2009 is the best year for you all! May Gob Bless you and your family!

fun in the snow...

It has been a while since I have made a good post, for a few reasons.

The first: We moved: out of state: and haven't had Internet until today! YAY! I was trying my best to keep up to date with it, but heading to McDonald's everytime I needed to do something on the Internet was not my idea of fun!

Ady having fun with the octopus play dough!

Second: While trying to return back to Boise on Christmas Eve we were in an awful car accident. We, are all doing alright! Ben had some tiny cuts from the broken glass, and a bruised elbow from hitting the window. I, on the other hand, believe that the plate of cookies I was carrying in my lap, hit me smack in the middle of the forehead... Other than that I was fine. The kids, didn't have a single scratch on them, and were just a little shaken by the fact of "flippin" as Hayden states it.

On a good note, we have enjoyed our stay in wonderful baker city thus far. People tend to be nicer, and we don't have a commute at all, wherever we go! The first few days we were here, we drove around town trying to get familiar with the area, and found some fun and delicious places to eat! My favorite, thus far, PAIZANO'S pizza! My favorite, even over good old guidos in Boise! If you ever come here, you better try it!


Above are my "car wreck cookies." Originally made for Christmas eve... they made it safe and sound through the wreckage, right to our mouths, after we got them out of the wrecked car...2 days later!

Our home, for now, seems to be coming together well! We have unpacked what we think is necessary and left the rest for the basement. Haven't done much decorating, but we will eventually get to it!
Please note, this picture was taken before the wreck of the envoy!


While Ben was at work today, I took advantage of the somewhat nice weather and headed outdoors with the kiddos.... We made it to our front yard, and no further, but it was fun! We shoveled the rest of the drive way in hopes that Ben would be able to get his car out tomorrow morning and not have to walk to work! After that, we attempted to make a small hill, and a snowman. Hayden thoroughly enjoyed it, while Ady would have rather been inside.
Ady would not get close to the snowman... She was quite afraid of it!Hayden sure thought it was cool~!Hayden pulling Ady on the sled...minus the snowHayden getting ready to go down the little hill, i had made for him, on the sled!

Christmas day

As I said earlier in a previous post... I am at my husbands work updating our blog! Short and quick... The kids woke up with the grandparents and we were soon to follow... Hayden and Ady got some cool toys from Santa, and were thrilled to see all the presents. We love seeing how happy our kids are, and are so thankful that our lives are as blessed as they are. We walked away from a horrible crash, with minor scratches, and nothing else. We are so thankful for our life!

Christmas eve in our new home

Even though we crashed we are all doing great! As soon as Ben's mom (grandma "newbie") heard the news, Her and Jack came to our rescue. When they got here, we all went to the ER and got checked out... all good bills of health. We then went home and let the kids open one present each! and watched "how the grinch stole Christmas!

As we headed to Boise on Christmas eve, our day came to a hault... We were literally blown away by the wind, ending up doing a 360 and barrel rolling twice. The tow man and the police officer think the car is totalled, but we have yet to talk to the insurance guy... hopefully that goes good. (will write more later, at husbands work and trying to get done quickly)
