Am I done yet?

I had a doctor's appt on Monday and I had to have this glucose test done. I drank this really nasty syrup and then they took my blood. Then after I leave the doctor's office they call to tell me I have to come back in before Friday to get my RH- shot. So yesterday I go in after work to get it and since I was there got my H1N1 vaccine too. I got blood drawn, shot in the arm and shot in the hip. OUCH! The RH- shot hurt SO bad. I think it is the worst shot I've ever gotten. It stung and you could feel the liquid moving. Then it hurt all day and I couldn't sit even though I was really tired. It's a bummer....

Gotta love the stupid ones...

At work yesterday I waited on these two girls who were about 23-24 years old. They were actually another servers table but she asked me to take them because she knew one of the girls so I did. They were really nice and pretty easy to wait on. I gave them boxes and their check and the next thing I know they are running out. They dined-and-dashed! We called the cops and my co-worker gave them her name and I told them what happened.

This morning a detective met me at work and I looked up a photo line-up and had to pick out the girl. I did and that afternoon they found her and arrested her for theft. After that either her husband or the other girl's husband came in to pay their $20 bill which by then was too late! How stupid you gotta be?!

Surgery....

Longest day of our lives....so Andy finally got to have his foot surgery yesterday. The hospital paid for it which is why he got to do it. We needed him to be recovered too before the baby came. He got his left foot operated on and they took out the dead bone that was dying and replaced it with synthetic stuff and fused 3 bones together then covered it with a plate and screws. He has to have a pain pump for 5 days and stay off of it competely for 6-8 weeks. No weight or it will undo everything. It'll be fun...NOT!

We got at the hospital at 9am and he didn't even go into surgery until 11:30am because the doctor's first surgery went longer than expected. Then the doctor got called to an emergency when he was supposed to consult with me and then I didn't get to see Andy until 2ish and we didn't leave until almost 3:30pm. But all went well so Andy should recover and be pain free once all is healed. Thank goodness! :D

7 years

Every year for our anniversary Andy and I go take a drive up the canyon and the dam to look at all the fall colors and explore. Usually the dam is empty enough to walk out and find people's lost items, but not this year. Pineview was completely full. I can't believe that next week (October 5th) Andy and I will have been together for 7 years! Granted this is no longer our anniversary, but hey it still counts for something.

I also got my first flu shot today. Never had one before...at least not to my knowledge and my arm is so sore. It's hard to move and feels super bruised. Shot felt like nothing and now it is giving me the pain. Grrrr....

The News

We think it is time to reveal our little secret to everyone...Andy and I are having a baby! Most family members know now and some friends, but I honestly haven't been getting the best reaction from everyone therefore decided not to announce it to the world. I've gotten some very mean jokes and comments which haven't made it easy telling anyone else. Especially when some of those people are my family members. We weren't planning on having a baby so soon, but oh well. We wanted some eventually! So please if you have nothing nice to say to me about it then don't say it (to me at least). :D

The married life...

It has been a little over a month now since we got married. We are leaving in the basement of my (Jamie's) parents' house. We've decided to have Andy get his foot surgery that he really needs and during his recovery will be going back to school to finish his machining degree at the OWATC. He may even have a job lined up at an auto shop when he can walk and stand for a long period of time which would be nice! I'll continue working so that why Andy is recovering I can cover the bills...lucky me! Good news is that the hospital is writing off the surgery so we don't have to pay a cent which is HUGE. Thanks McKay Dee! :D

I'm still stressing out about everything though. We bought parts for Andy's car and I'm not sure his car is going to last much longer. It's not worth putting more money it so at this point we are just going to see what happens since we can't afford to buy a new car. Don't ever buy a Ford.

"The Moneyhoon"

We have always wanted to go to New York City so that is where we chose to go for our honeymoon. We stayed in SLC the night of our wedding since we had an early flight and we were so tired from the wedding anyways. Our flight left at 8:30am and we were supposed to arrive in NYC around 3pm because it was a non-stop flight. We get right about Pennsylvannia and the captain tells us that they have closed JFK because of hurricane Bill. We circled in the air 5 times and then ended up having to land in Syracuse, NY because we were running out of fuel. We didn't even leave Syracuse until almost 6:00pm and then we got into NYC (FINALLY). Our luggage took 45 minutes to even come out and we were the only flight arriving at that terminal. While we waited for our bags I went over and had the ground transportation clerk call our shuttle company to come get us. After 30 minutes of waiting (they were supposed to be there in 15-20), the ground transportation clerk told us he didn't know where I was and the shuttle guy left us! So he called back and said "oh he'll be back in 10-15" and 30 more minutes goes by so Andy called the shuttle place himself. Finally after waiting for an hour and a half for a shuttle the guy comes and we drove around the airport for yet another hour picking up other passengers. Then they dropped all the other passengers at their hotels and dropped us off last which left us in the van for well over an hour. We were so livid by the time we got to our hotel, Andy just grabbed our bags himself and we left. Our hotel room was nice, we had an amazing view of the Empire State Builing and New York Times building. We were right around the corner from Times Square. Hotel staff was great help in finding places to eat and how to get around.

The next day we decide to go explore the city. We walked down to 5th Ave, halfway through Central Park and to the top of the Empire State building then all the way back to our hotel. It was a lot of walking! People were not the nicest, if you pissed them off they would take their sweet time doing whatever you needed them to do. They were not afraid to tell you that or that you needed to tip them. Most restaurants would add tips to any party at any time. You would pay for a drink and not get a refill. Water even cost you! Applebees for example, was way pricey. Here you could get a cheeseburger, a chicken wrap and 2 drinks for less than $25-30. It cost us $50. It was insane! The only place we found worth eating at was John's Pizzeria which was the best NYC pizza you will find! Yummy!

When we book our trip we had booked a all day tour that included a harbor cruise with it. So Andy and I decided to do that on a different day than our actual tour so we went to the place to exchange our voucher for our tickets. We went to the pier to exchange that ticket for a boarding pass and was told that it was only good for one person. I mean WTH?! So we had to make our way back to the company and I yelled on and off with them and Expedia for an hour which ended me with a $25 credit to my Expedia account....Whoo hoo. After that we just did more exploring and whatever else.

We finally took our all day tour which took us all over Manhattan. We saw Ground Zero, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Rockafellar Center, Brooklyn Bridge, Harlem, Central Park, places where TV and movies were filmed, where famous people lived, and a lot of churches with cementeries.

Our last day we decided to take a subway (which we wish we would have used sooner) and take it down to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. So we walked all the way across the Brooklyn Bridge and back. Brooklyn was way more laid back and family oriented than Manhattan. We also decided to go to a broadway play and chose to go to Shrek the Musical. We got our tickets through our hotel and they were amazing seats! The musical was hilarious and we both really enjoyed it.

Our last day there since we had to check out of our hotel at noon but our flight was at 7:00pm we decided to go shopping. My credit card was declined because I failed to notify them I was going out of town so after $500 charged on my account, they decided to freeze it. It made no sense, but I got it straightened out right away. Thank goodness!!!

Needless to say, it was nice to see but Andy and I don't want to go back for a very long time....if ever.
