Whew! That is over with!

We have had a fun and busy couple of weeks. School started last Tuesday! I was nervous for Kylee, Blaine, and myself! I was nervous about hating 7th graders; I was nervous that Blaine would put too many people in their places on his first day, and I was nervous that Ky would be all alone! Well, to make some long stories short, we all had a great day. In fact it has been a great couple of weeks! We all really like our schools, and have made some great friends. 

More importantly, last night Blaine had his first game! It was a rough first half but THEY WON! It is so hard to know how things are going to go with boys we don't know and playing teams we don't know much about. The second half was much better and the team looks great! We hope things keep going in the right direction. I had the biggest headache after it all! I think the whole starting school, Ky going back to dance, and first game gitters finally came to an end last night. I know there are many more games (and headaches) to come, but it was nice to get these first couple of weeks over with! 

Moving out!!!

Yep! That is right! We have to move out! Why? Because if you notice the picture somewhere on this page, we had a pet visit, and I don't like pets, especially ones that do not fit into the animal category! 

A Tarantula! Can you believe it? Sooooooo disgusting! 

My mom, dad, and niece Alyssa were visiting this weekend. My dad was coming in and out of the house moving stuff from the car. He called for me to come to the front door and there it was! YUCK! A tarantula on our front porch! My dad had put one of our glasses over it to trap it. I could not sleep all night. I kept having that Brady Bunch vision playing in my head. You know the one where the Brady family goes to Hawaii and a tarantula latches on to all of their stuff. Eventually the tarantula is climbing on the bed sheets towards Peter Brady as he is sleeping. He of course wakes up and freaks out! Yes! That was the vision in my head all night, and for the past three days! 

I have been on the lookout for snakes since the day we got here, but it seems that I underestimated the power of whatever kind of category that falls under. Spider just does not quite cover it! 

Check it out!

Finally! I have some pictures to post. I am so technology challenged that posting pictures is really an all day chore. Anyway, the most intriguing pictures are probably the ones of Ky's allergy test. She was a mess the beginning of this summer. It did not matter if she was here or up North. She was totally miserable. I took her to an allergist and he did the test (see the pics). In a matter of 5-6 minutes she had full on hives! She was itching so bad, and there wasn't anything I could do. The doctor said that she was basically allergic to every plant and every tree! She has to go through this major series of shots (which are not that painful, but there are just so many) for about 2 years! She has been such a good sport! We can already tell a difference. She is feeling much better!
