May Showers

So the month of May has not been such a good month. I believe in karma so asked Heath if we put some bad karma out in the universe --we couldn't think of any. He said sometimes you just have bad luck well this is some real bad luck.

It started off when I parked Tori ( my new Tahoe) in the visitor lot at school during residency training. I parked it there because we were going to be at school for over 12 hours and I don't have a parking sticker for my new car. When I left the lot and went to eat with some classmates I discovered that my car had been hit on the passenger side. It was scraped and dented all the way down. I figured someone had pulled in and hit me and hit me on the way out too. No note was left but I figured it was some poor med student who didn't have insurance so I made peace with it. That is why you have insurance. When I took it to the claims adjuster he said a piece of construction equipment had hit me not a car. Can you believe that? What bad luck. And it did alot of damage. But once again that is why you have insurace.

But then not even a week later--we were getting our bathtub fixed a bathtub that we had been trying to get fixed since before we moved in--things got worse. A leak from the wall in the master bedroom so Candace ( who was in town visiting) and I started cleaning it up. But the plumber said he fixed it however the water kept coming up. We still had a leak but we couldn't find it. So I called the plumber out again and a restoration crew. What made things so sad was I just finished unpacking every box and had the entire house set up and cleaned. And now I had to box things up and move furniture back into the garage it was like going in reverse. The plumber couldn't find the leak and water had to keep running and I watched as room by room my brand new home filled with water. It was awful. By the end of the day I had no carpet in downstairs I was left with concrete, no baseboards, holes in my walls and loud fans to dry everything out. They finally found the leak. It was coming up from an abandoned pipe that was supposed to an outside hose at one point but was abandoned --however when the plumber tied in the pipe to fix the bathtub it made this line "live" again and it just poured out like a fountain underneath our bed. The only good thing is the house is under warranty and the builder is at fault so everything is getting replaced. I basically getting a new new house but it is taking forever. It has been frustrating for me I am not a patient person and I hate a mess. I know that you are suppose to make lemonade when life hands you lemons but I think someone forgot the sugar in this lemonade batch.

Sawyer lately

He is such a handful now. He is crawling now--this weird army crawl where he only uses one arm and one leg. But don't let that fool you he is fast. I can't imagine if he used both arms and legs. He also sits up now and claps and plays patty cake. We are trying to teach him to give high fives and wave bye bye but not so sucessful. He eats alot now he is so big everyone thinks he is 1year or so. I always so no he is only... and they say good grief what a big baby. He loves veggies especially carrots. He is not so crazy about fruits. I don't know why. I thought babies usually liked the sweeter fruits better but whatever. He still has NO TEETH. I know he is 8 months with no teeth. I check everyday. Dawn and I read that he is supposed to have at least 6 by now --I don't know what the deal is. I will ask the pediatrician next week. I guess they will all come at once. He keeps acting like they are coming --fussing and rubbing everything across the gums.

He went swimming for the first time and he loves the water but he also tries to drink the water so this could be a problem. But I am going to try to get in the pool as much as possible before I go back to work. I don't want him to be afraid of the water. He is so smart. He has figured out how to pull nighlights out of plugs and take them apart. He also does this with door stops. His other favorite activities include going for walks and chewing on any cord he can find. I can't baby proof this house fast enough. I am going to miss him like crazy when I go back to work these have been the best months off. I have also decided that he may look like his daddy but he has my personality. He is loud and attention seeking and if you put a camera on him he turns on the charm --see for yourself.

Lauren's Wedding

A few weeks later my other good girlfriend Lauren got married in Abilene. It was pretty crazy but fun having your two best friends get married two weeks apart. Lauren had her shower and bachelorette party in Dallas as well. She went the more traditional route and her matron of honor went all out. We had a van with lights and we hit the Dallas bar scene.

Her wedding weekend was fun because of the wedding party. Adam's family and groomsmen are very loud and know how to have fun. We made sure to hit the Abilene bar scene as well. We went to Guitars and Cadillacs to dance and do shots. To bad the bars close at midnight in Abilene. We still had a great time.

Her dress was strapless princess cut --very lauren--very fairytale. She was a beautiful bride. The reception was in a old movie theatre and the sign displayed their names it was very cute. I loved watching Adam and her dance. In fact all of his friends are great dancers. Adam is a great match for her -I am so glad they found each other.
