Wow, sorry its been like 3 months since my last post, we have had a super long summer.

We started it off by spending a week in NC visiting Travis' uncles. Then a week in KY for T's job. Then I spent a week in Tulsa visiting family. July we spent a week in Milwaukee looking for a new house. Oh yeah, we are moving to Milwaukee. Oh boy, super busy summer. Good news, we found a house, just waiting for the appraisal to be done before closing at the end of September. August I went to Nebraska for a 3 day trip and family reunion and then spent a week in Tulsa for my friend Sarah's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and she made a drop dead gorgeous bride! MidAugust, T and I celebrated 3 wonderful years of marriage while up in Milwaukee again to find the house and put an offer in on it.

So that was our summer. We close on our house on Tuesday. It is going to be bittersweet. I will be glad we are moving on, but I am going to be super sad that we will have only lived in our first home less than a year. Then we are going to spend a day with my grandparents, a day with T's parents, then head north. We plan on stopping either in St. Louis or Springfield. Then by Sept 4 we will be in our new for for the following 3 weeks. A hotel with a kitchenette. That is going to be super duper fun! T, me, Wy, and our 90 lb puppy dog.

And in thyroid news, I have been on Methimazole for like 5 weeks now. My TSH is up to .54 now, major increase from where it was. However, I don't feel any better, if anything I feel worse! I have been having heart palpitations and have been much more moody. (Read pissy!) And my right thyroid area has been swelling on and off.

I have an appt with a new DR up north the week we get up there. Hopefully he can help figure what is going on with me!

AKA Out of Town. Which is what my husband will be on Sunday. Yes. Mother's day. URGH! He is going to Canada on Sunday. He had to go to China over Easter. I swear its like his work think ok, we have holiday coming up, we gotta send T somewhere!
I told him if he had to go somewhere on 4th of July, heads were gonna roll.

Also, we have been trying to get his work to commit to send T to KY during the 2nd week of June. This way they will give him mileage to go out there and we can not only tag along but make a quick trip to NC the week before and use the $ that his company gives him for mileage to pay for the trip. So with this Canada trip, I am hoping they will give in. Hope Hope Hope!! We have the money to go to NC without the KY trip, but we can always use that money toward's Wy's big boy room!!

Speaking of Big Boy room, I will be posting later all the stuff we plan on doing for his room soon!

So, this past week some guy from Home Depot came out to give us a spiel about a water softener system. Blah Blah Blah...I was not really sold, Trav was though. Until he saw the price for this awesome system. $6995. It is so nice though that it isn't an even $7k. Well, for our time our compensation was for a free 3 day and 2 night stay at a hotel in a list of different places. Sooo, this post is about a list. A list of wonderful vacations you get to help pick out! We have to choose our top 3 places we want to go. We narrowed it down to 11. In no particular order

1. Aruba
2. Outer Banks, NC
3. Puerto Vallarta
4. Ft. Lauderdale
5. Calgary, CAN
6. San Luis Obispo, CA
7. San Carlos, Sonora
8. Ozarks
9. Hilton Head, SC
10. Padre
11. Hershey, PA

Numbers 8, 11, and 10 are Travs picks. (Hershey would be fun and all (CORLEY) but for the same price for the airfare we could go to a beach in another country). And I have been to the Ozarks a million times when my Dad worked for Silver Dollar City, so that doesn't impress me much. But we could save on airfare, same with Padre.Numbers 1, 3, and 9 are my picks. Hello beaches haha! Airefare for all of these places are pretty much the same. I really wanted to go to Hawaii, but plane tickets are twice what they were for all the other places :( All the other numbers are places we would like to go that sounded fun. We picked them together, but are not really set either way for them.

This is what we are doing with our tax return this year. We are taking a relaxing trip just the two of us to take in everything from this past month. Granted, we are also paying off my behemoth car and taking a family trip to NC. Yay for first time home buyers credit! (Corley find a way to sneak down to NC in June ok!)

Today I am going to the doctor to have her look at my ear. Ya know, the one my son punctured with my glasses back in August? It has been killing me for the past two weeks and T got tired of me complaining (I can't even lay on my left side because of it). So he made me go to a real doctor (I just wanted to go to urgent care, but he insisted if I had to go to an ENT it would be better to start with a real doctor office yadda yadda yadda).
This weekend while watching the big game (WAY TO GO SAINTS) I spent a lot of it crocheting some new hats. If I have time later I will upload some pictures of the awesomeness!
