$90 in taxs?! Well ok!

So I am looking into booking a flight for me and Josh to go to Nevada the first week of November for the family reunion and to find out what Baby Wray will be :) BUT.... our flight for both of us round trip is just as much as gas would cost. So yay! We save a 12 hour trip in the car on possibly icy roads. But NOT YAY! Because the government is insane. I just got charged $90 in tax's. Yes. That's right. Ridiculous? I think so. Has anyone looked into these charges airlines are giving us? They have a September 11th charge (so now WERE paying for September 11th?!) They also have a departure tax. A facility usage fee. Government tax (which I can understand). Baggage Tax. Booking tax. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. I know for a fact 4 years ago we didn't have to have all these taxs. Just saying. Cough cough cough. This is crap.

The Wild Ride

We cooked a can of beans on the burner last night. Yup. That's right. We have highly considered poaching a rabbit or deer...or even our neighbors cow this week. Time to go shopping? I think yes.

On another note I think I may be starting to get a small baby bump. Either that or i'm just getting fat (not....we have no food in our house). Whatever it is its very uncomfortable.

Also as you see over to the right top corner ----------------->
that we have now opened a poll on whether our baby will be a girl baby or boy baby. Please go vote :)


Love you all <3

Strange things are happening to me..

strange strange things (click here). This song has become my theme song over the past few weeks. Strange things are definitely happening to me, no doubt about it. But they are good strange things, strange things that will lead to one very cute baby in 7 months. Morning sickness has been my new enemy. It hits about 9am and leaves around 12. Then again in the evening around 6 I get it for another hour. My hair is growing out BLONDE? I have this blonde ring around my head from my roots. So weird. On top of that I don't like food anymore. The sight or thought of food makes me very nauseous. It has become a chore to eat (I never thought I would hear myself say that). Also I'm SO TIRED all of the time. Working full time is horrible for me right now. Hopefully within the next few weeks I will start getting over all of that.

We went in for our first ultrasound yesterday. How exciting is that? We were both overly ecstatic when we saw our little baby's heart beating. There is nothing more sound than seeing your baby and knowing he is perfectly healthy.

We are so blessed and so happy :)

Diary of a mad black woman!

Well not quite... I'm not black....but it could definitely be called "Diary of a mad pregnant woman". So here comes my rant for the day. PREPARE!
Ugh. I am so tired of the Facebook scene. I am sick of reading everyones DRAMA! Did we not graduate from middle school here people? I guarantee this world used to be 10 times less dramatic before Facebook came along. So many people say "If you don't like it then delete your account". I totally would ...except there are people on there that are hundreds of miles away that me and Josh love very much and this is the best way to keep in touch. So nobody try offering up that tidbit of advice, cause we love you all to much to just not Facebook stalk you :)

On a hypocritical note I would like to document the lovely loveliness we experienced last week. I'm pretty sure we got the full serving of being an adult. So we rented a house...and were told we could move in Saturday. So we pack up ALL of our stuff friday night etc etc. Then I text our landlord and say "Hey we will be there tomorrow afternoon." she responded "Ok, sounds good:)"
So we show up and the current tenants hadn't even started PACKING. Holy swiss I was so mad. But we just brushed it off and went and lived with Josh's parents for 3 days. We show up again on Tuesday to the house and NO progress has been made. So we have all of our stuff we have ever owned in one room that we are also sleeping in, eating in, and living out of, because there stuff was still ALL over the house. Not one room was empty of their stuff except the one we were living in. Anywhooooooo. So then we find out the black mold in the bathtub wreaks every time it gets wet, none of the outlets in the house work, and the carpet cleaners were supposedly  supposed to come about 7 different time (and they never showed up) Sketchy? Uhhh Yahhh. Luckily everything we had was still packed away into all our boxs and bags. All week Josh kept saying "This is just the storm before the calm" and I really really reallyyyyyy wanted to see the calm, but I couldn't quite yet until Friday night.  We found an ADORABLE house. We LOVE our landlords. And Chevy is having the time of his life. We are so dang blessed.

So now this brings me onto my rant about trials. EVERYBODY has trials. They aren't all the same exact road. But we are all given the same amount of trials. Nobody is tested harder than others. The point is we all have our stuff. Don't think that others are having the time of their lives when you're going through misery. Everyone has worries, concerns, family issues, and trials. This is life. This is why we're here. And the point is to realize who has walked the same exact path we have. There is one person who will ALWAYS understand how you exactly feel, and there is no better feeling in the world knowing that there is someone by your side who knows your pain and suffering, your wants and needs, your hopes and dreams.

We love our lives :)

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese!

My problem this week has been procrastination. We are supposed to be moving in 2 days and I haven't touched one thing. Yup. Thats right! So if anyone is so incredibly bored they want to come pack and clean a house, be my guest! I don't know why i'm putting this off so badly. Could it be because I love this house so much? It's SO dang cute, comfortable, it feels like home, and lets not forget this is where me and Josh started our lives as newlyweds. I keep thinking about the first time he brought me here to show it to me and I was SO excited! I jumped up and down so ecstatic about our new place. I think i'll actually have a hard time parting with it even though we have only been here for a few months. We went out of town last weekend for Josh's birthday and I had a hard time sleeping in the hotel, but when we got home I flopped down on the couch, sighed, and said "I love the feeling of being 'Home'". This house has been our home :( I dont like change!
I sit here and stare at everything thinking "Holy crud I better get going" so I stand up off the couch and decide "After I take a nap". Ugh it's going to be a long moving weekend :(

On a different note... (my rant for the day)

I am now currently applying for jobs, and I am SO tired of all the scams out there. SERIOUSLY PEOPLE! Why dont you go get a job yourself instead of try to scam people. Most people wouldn't fall for this... Sadly there are a few who would...but not enough to pay this guys bills every month. So I get this email (please note the highlighted parts!)

p.s. this is how I picture this guy.

"Thanks for applying for the position. (then he tells me about the job). You will mostly be working from home for me. I work with charities all day, so you will be transferring checks into different bank accounts, and booking out of the country flights for me all day (holy probable cause batman. Somebody needs to go report this guy to the FBI. Geez.) I am very hard of hearing, so don't call me, we just need to communicate through email. Your hourly pay will be $34 ($34 an hour? Holy crap that's almost worth sending you my account information! [said no one ever]). Send me your bank account number so I can transfer the funds directly in there. I'm excited to have you work for me. (Nope...no name given at the end of the email)"

Ya right guy. Like i'm going to say
 "Ok Mr. Nameless boss, here's my bank account number. Enjoy. P.S. I really think it's cool that you just give money to charity all day as your job, where did you get all the money to just do that? Just curious. Anyway...Sorry to hear about your hearing (pun intended)...don't worry we can just communicate through email from here on out! Also, why do you leave the country so much? You're not in trouble with the FBI or anything are you? ;) jk jk jk. lol.
Love,
your new employee! <3 "

Rawr. Get a life!

Love,
The girl who still has her identity... And an unpacked house.

You really want to know?

Well I know...I need to do better about writing in my blog. So once again here is my commitment to write almost every day if possible. We'll see how long this one holds out for.

 So today's topic is you really want to know? Cause I will be happy to tell you.

I think people on Facebook are starting to forget their bleep button. When I first joined Facebook, status updates were cute, sweet, and funny. It was a good way to keep up with friends far away from you. Now it seems like people are starting to not care what they say, how they say it, and what friends they might offend. The presidential debate is coming up and there are a lot of different views flying around. Now...I am all for hearing REAL POLITICAL facts about both parties. I understand both have strengths and both have flaws. However, I am not for people posting on their Facebook "Romney is an idiot and ANYONE who votes for him has to be mentally retarded". I assume that I am "friends" with everyone on Facebook. I am definite that nobody on my friends list is someone I quite dislike, and I hope that is true for most Facebookers. So why completely bash "a friend" of yours. Posting something like that, you have to know that not everyone in your friends list has the same political views as you, right? So are you not doing anything more than offending one of your friends? I have had many people say the same things "I thought this guy was really smart...but when they post status updates like this I just think 'Seriously?'"
My main point is going to come from a picture I posted on Facebook that says "Because of your political posts on Facebook, I am totally going to change my views. Said NO ONE EVER!" and it's true. Nothing ANYBODY reads on Facebook are going to change their views. If anything, it is only going to offend or question YOUR mental retardation. So just don't do it.

This has been my rant for the day.
Love Hannah :)

I do I do I do I do love YOU!

So Josh's birthday is right around the corner....not only is it the first birthday as old married people but the first birthday as a couple period! So stressful...I don't know what to get him. He wants a bike for his birthday...but I don't want to give him just one thing and say "Happy Birthday!" How do I make the day special? We are trying to save for school...so going somewhere or doing something expensive is out of the question...but I want his day to be special and meaningful...so what do I do? Ideas would be muchly appreciated.

One thing about Josh is he actually is more sentimental and thoughtful than I am. He knows exactly what presents to get and how to make me feel extra special...but I can't seem to get a grasp on it. So I have to do good for his birthday! I want him to know that I love him and appreciate him :) So please...if you have any ideas share please!
