Busy

So, this is really the first chance I have had to sit down and write in quite awhile. Things have been pretty busy around here. John is working full time at KSI and up until last weekend was still working every Saturday and Sunday at Red Robin. I'm so glad he is done there!! I have been subbing pretty much everyday. I have been lucky to get sub jobs at Patriot for most of my days, but occasionally I am at Centennial as well. Next week I will work at Endeavor for the first time. I'm a little nervous about that, but I'm sure it will be fine. And of course, I am still working at the office everyday after school as well. Subbing doesn't pay well here and I can't afford not to work at the office. My classes at dance are going well too. I was nervous before the year started, but now I'm feeling okay about it. So that's a good thing.

On other news...aka...PUP news! We had a bit of a scare with our oldest child, Scooter. Scooter was having random seizures recently. We weren't really sure what to make of them or even what to do about them. All we knew was that they were getting worse and scarier. So after a really bad one on Tuesday night, I got him right in at the vet's on Wednesday morning. They ran some blood work and on Thursday informed us that it doesn't look neurological (meaing we didn't have to go to LA and have an MRI). So that was GREAT news. Basically Scooter has to be on Potassium Bromide for the rest of his life. Hopefully it is effective and minimizes the seizures. It's not too pricy which is also a plus. If the Potassium isn't effective, he has to take Phenobarbotal which will destroy his liver over time. So we DON'T want to have that road be our option. So keep your fingers crossed for our little guy. He has had such a rough time in his short little life. He is such a good boy too. It breaks my heart when he is sick. Today was his first day on the meds, so we won't know if they are working for a couple of weeks. I will update though.

Well, that's about all for now. We went to Orange County last weekend to visit some family and friends. We went to La Cave for the Halloween whatnot. Anyway, here are some pictures from that night. Sorry no pictures of the dogs this time!!

This one is of John and me. Can you tell he didn't really have a costume?!


Me and Torie (my old gym buddy)...I like this one because I'm finally starting to look skinny!!! Yay! Thanks Torie for all your help and inspiration!


Our La Cave friends. Josh (dressed as a "cholo") and Dave (from "Blades of Glory")We really miss them!


Anyway, I promise more pictures of the pups soon!
