Crockpot fun!
I realized that I've had my crockpot for a year and a half and hadn't used it once! So I dug through the internet and some recipes that I have and made Hashbrown Casserole on Friday! I had a good friend of mine, Shannon, and her daughter over for supper. They loved it! I thought it needed some sausage or some more flavor. Her 18 month old daughter couldn't eat fast enough! :)
Then I broke it out Saturday to make some mac-n-cheese! Ali and Chris had a BBQ to celebrate Jayden's arrival. Which is a great idea so that people can come see him at once and she doesn't have to worry about people coming to see them at random times A.K.A. during mommy's nap time. The mac-n-cheese was really good! I LOVE home-made mac-n-cheese! My grandma makes the best, but this is a deserving second place. I also made 1-2-3's and those are always a hit! Everyone loves those! Even Mr. "I'm on a diet"
It's been rainy and stormy this week and it's still stormy. It's a perfect day to get some dusting and vacuuming done! I didn't know Jeremy got so behind on dusting ;)

Prayer
I saw this tonight and thought it was something to share with you..
Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?
Thoughtless Thursay- absent
Jeremy has the camera in Virginia, so I'm not doing Thoughtless Thursday for right now.. It'll be back soon though :)
Nothing exciting lately. I don't think I mentioned this before, but our friend Ali had her baby last Friday! June 11 at 3:59 Mr. Jayden Troy LeVan was born!! He's so cute! He's going to be a ladies man! It's been a week now and he has changed their life so much and he is such a blessing.
She had a perfect labor and a healthy baby and it makes me want one even more! Her water broke around 1:30 and he was here by 4! She didn't even have time to accept or turn down the epidural.
So tonight they are having a BBQ so everyone can meet him! Of course I've already met him! I went to the hospital and I've checked up on mommy and baby at home, while daddy was at work!
My good friend Shannon and her daughter Kenzie came over last night! We watched a movie and had a little slumber party! It was fun. WallE likes Kenzie.. she is 18 months old and so she gives him food, so why wouldn't he love her? Shannon watched WallE when we went to Kansas City a couple months ago and she said they switched food. WallE was eating her cereal and she was eating his dog food! :O Until Shannon saw it and she switched the food back LOL
Jeremy is headed to Virginia beach today! LUCKY!! I want to be there so bad. It's a dreary day here.
Work is still going great! I'm catching on pretty quickly! Needless to say by Friday I have a headache because my brain needs a break! So I'm enjoying my weekend.
I hope all of our wonderful family is having a good summer so far!! We love you all!!

Vacation & more!
We had a really great time on vacation! Most people wouldn't call going to Kansas for a week a vacation, but we do!
A week is a whole lot better than a couple days! We did get to see all of our family, which is what I was hoping for! We also saw all of our close friends! We would have loved to spent more time with everyone but there is so many of you that we couldn't possibly!
WallE slept from the moment we got in the car to go home until Tuesday morning! And I'm not kidding! He was SOO tired! I didn't mind though, because I had laundry to do and didsome all the packing for Jeremy! Okay okay.. he did pack his own uniforms! :P
Since we've been back a lot has gone on! He left Monday morning for Virginia. If you know Jeremy you know he is being a social bug and not just sitting in his hotel room! So he's having fun, I think! He has spent a lot of time in the hot tub, too! He loves hot tubs!
After I dropped him off I headed straight to the dentist. I got a filling and he filled and shaved down a sharp edge on the next tooth that we are going to work on. Well that really irritated it!! I was in some pain on Tuesday then I didn't get any sleep that night because I was in so much pain! It was awful! So he squeezed me in and fixed it. I do have to get a root canal on that one (yes, that'll be my second root canal in a month). I'm just looking for the right time. I had one scheduled for the 22nd but that is a "surgery week" at my NEW JOB *bells* *chimes* whistles* *hollering* and so it'll be impossible to take off work! But I'll get in! No worrying! :)
So yes, I have a new job!! I work at Eye Specialists office! It's kinda weird.. (the title). There are 5 total doctors. One of them is part time [every other week] and the other 4 are full time. The part time doctor is our only surgeon, so when he is there we are very very busy! My first week there is a surgery week, so I'm anxious to see how it goes next week LOL But I like it there. The girl that's training me, Natalie, she is really cool and very helpful. Unfortunately she'll be gone at the beginning of July!! EEK! But that's okay, we'll manage... I hope! :)

FINALLY!!
We've been planning on coming home for two one week since we left in December. The day has finally come!! We are heading home after we get off work at 4. Which means today is going to DRAG ON!! But that's okay.. we can't wait to see everyone!
And we will see everyone, just know that there is a lot of "everyone"s so it might not be right away, but we'll see you!

Thoughtless Thursday- Root Canal
This is what they do during a root canal. That is a filer. They file the sides of the canal to get it cleaned out. It felt weird at first (no pain though)
This is what I would have looked like.. except I would have been asleep :)
His name is Dr. Kenneth Spanel, at Regency Dental on Regency Parkway in Omaha, NE.
How many people can say that they were falling asleep during a root canal?
It's been 2 days since the root canal and I still haven't had to take any pain medication!
He is willing to work with my insurance to make sure I get the care I need while still staying within the limits of my insurance.
When I told him I couldn't chew he temporarily fixed my tooth until my root canal (scheduled for a month later due to his busy office!)
He genuinely cares about his patients; always making sure they aren't in pain and that they are comfortable.
The ladies in the office are great too! Very friendly, always introduce themselves (the first time), and get to know you!
I'll leave it at that.. I can't stop saying enough good things about him!

Root Canal- CHECK!
Lately I feel like my 'to do list' is a mile long and it's not getting any shorter. But the only thing on it that is stressful was my root canal, but....
I got my first root canal yesterday!!
I didn't get much sleep the night before. When we went to bed I couldn't stop talking even though I was SO tired! I must have tossed and turned alot because I was still pretty tired when I woke up!
Jeremy had stuff going on at work today so my friend, Shannon, took me to my appointment. I didn't know if I was going to be put to sleep or not. I wasn't put to sleep but I was falling asleep! The only thing that was uncomfortable was when he gave me the shot to make me even more numb. Even that didn't hurt. I didn't feel the shot, I felt him turning the syringe in my gum.
I'm not sure if anyone has ever fell asleep while getting a root canal, but that says A LOT about my dentist!! He constantly asks me if I'm in pain. While that could get annoying, it doesn't because I don't want to be in pain either!
Dr. Kenneth Spanel is absolutely AWESOME!! I wasn't even in pain after the numbness wore off! The only time I feel anything is when I yawn! I just can't stop saying enough great things about him!!
I will need a $crown$ next and those usually come 2 weeks after the root canal but that's when we'll be in Kansas so it'll have to wait.

I can't believe my eyes!!
Well, one thing I do as a cashier is observe! I see so much stuff! Let me share what I saw the other day..
This lady has 3 boys. While I was ringing them out, she didn't seem to have much control over them. They were throwing stuff and running around.
There wasn't anybody behind her in line so I watched them walk outside to their van. She gets the two younger ones into their car seats (neither of them were rear-facing) and the older one (MAYBE 4) gets into the front seat (he didn't just jump up there from the back, he opened the door and got in). This wasn't the most shocking part. What did I see next? He was standing up in the seat and looking at the other two boys as his mom put the car in reverse to drive away!!! This child has NO seat belt on AND he's standing up while she's driving!!!
Let me get this out of the way- I don't have kids. So let me save you some time... "easier said than done", "each child is different" and "you don't know the circumstances". GIVE ME A BREAK!! It takes 10 seconds to pull a seatbelt across your child.
Jeremy has NO idea about kids. He doesn't know that they are supposed to sit rear-facing until they are at least two. He doesn't know the technical stuff. So I inform him when I'm ranting and raving. I told him that our kids will be rear-facing for a LONG time. Normally when I talk about kids, he tells me to "ssshhhh" because that's not what he is thinking about right now in life. But when I talk about how crappy this parenting was or when I talk about rear-facing he just listens and nods. I think he can tell how important this is to me.
