Its been awhile. Actually its been more than awhile. My fiance was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (cancer) this past winter and to be quite honest this site has been the last thing on my mind. I tried to blog a few times but I just ended up staring at a blank screen.

These last few months haven’t been easy. Our whole world was pretty much flipped upside down. But one day at a time were getting though this. His strength through all this has been inspirational. I don’t know how he’s managed to face all of this and still have a sense of humor about just about everything. Even while having a bone marrow biopsy he managed to crack jokes and ask his doctor if he was done drilling for oil. His nurses and doctors have been amazing. Our family and friends have been amazing. Most importantly God has been by our side every step of the way and given us strength to get though all of this.

There’s not much else I can think of to say right now. Honestly these days I’m a tad bit out of it so if not much of my post made sense I apologize. I just wanted to give you guys a quick update as to why I haven’t been on here much, that is if I have any readers left. Until next time God bless.

Its been way to long since my last post. Life’s been hectic and stressful. My mom had a heart attack a few months ago. It scared the hell out of me. I’ve always seen my mom as superwoman and thought of her as indestructible. The doctor said she was lucky, they got her to the hospital so fast that there was minimal damage. She had a very speedy recovery. By the next day she was walking up and down the hospital and 3 days later they released her. It really was a miracle.

Then there was the firemageddon. It started with the smoke from the Arizona fire traveling all the way here to Albuquerque, NM. In the evenings the sun appeared to be red and in the mornings cars had ash that had fallen during the night. Then the fire traveled into NM. After that there were several fires that started due to it being so dry. It was awful. Some of my family and friends were told they would have to evacuate their homes and others were put on standby. The Los Conchas fire was/is the biggest fire recorded in NM history.

Its been a long, crazy, hectic summer…

Lifes been insanely hectic! As if my life wasn’t hectic enough. So where did I last leave off?

So the snowpocolopyse came and went. One week it was the coldest its been in years and the following it was warm. That’s Albuquerque weather for you. The weather here can change from rainy, to sunny and warm, to freezing cold in a heart beat.

We adopted a pitbull that my son named Dallas. We adopted him from the pound and so far he’s been been the sweetest thing.

Our car was broken into for the 2nd time since we moved here. The first time all they took was a usb charger and this time they took my spare house key. That resulted in us having to replace all our locks. I have a feeling it was the crazy drunk neighbor guy from across the street.

I celebrated my Birthday with my wonderful family.

Sorry for my lack of updates as well as my boring updates, I’ve just been so busy. Now that its warming up we started working on the house again, as well as remodeling Big D’s moms kitchen. Most of the time I’m not sure if I’m coming or going. Hopefully soon I’ll post something with some substance.

This past week has been quite intresting.

Monday: the beginning. Snow.

Tueaday: the calm before the storm (ok so it was actually the day of the snow storm but wtfever). It snowed for most of the day. There were quite a few accidents around the city due to black ice. Fyi: here in Albuquerque the sight of a snowflake hitting the pavement is cause for people to start driving like morons (Well that’s what my dad used to say.)

Wednesday: the chaos begins. Apparently it was the coldest its been in 20 years and heaters were giving out all around the city and state. I went to do laundry and found the pipes frozen. I was a little upset about that until I heard thar a few friends didn’t have running water at all because their pipes froze. It sucked but at least we had running water.

Thursday: the snowpocalyse! Dispite the freezing cold we were out and about running errands when we got a call from Big D’s dad wondering if we had gas at home. He had seen on the news there was a shortage and parts of the state and some areas of Albuquerque didn’t have gas for heat or cooking and shelters were being set up. They were also asking everyone that still had gas to lower their thermostats to conserve gas.

We went to my moms to pick up some firewood and we discovered my mom had a busted pipe. After dealing with that on our way home we noticed water running down our street. I’m thinking to myself “don’t be our house, please don’t be our house”. We get closer and the neighbors driveway is covered in water. We pull into our driveway and realize the water covering the neighbors driveway is from our house. Crap!!! Luckily it was something Big D knew how to fix however I think my washer died from the water spraying into it. Twenty mins after we turned off the water my front yard and washroom turned into a ice skating ring (which of course I slipped and fell on).

We ended up at homedepot to buy the stuff to fix our pipe and the place was a madhouse! People were looking for electric heaters which they were sold out of (everyone was sold out) and firewood. The asile for the pipes was insane!

They cancled school and closed city buildings Friday to conserve gas for residental use.

The news said the outage was the result of uncommonly low temperatures that dropped the pressure in the system and a stretched supply that just could not keep up.

Ok so it wasn’t really a snowpocalypse but I liked how it sounded.

Wow the holidays came and went and 2010 is gone. I know I’m extremely late but Happy New Year ! When was the last time I blogged and where did I leave off?

Here’s the last few months in a nutshell:

Dressed up as a dead doll for Halloween. Lil D was a demon ninja. Took him and his four little cousins trick-or-treating and managed to make it out alive.

Had our first Thanksgiving in our house.

Black Friday was insane. Started at 8 pm Thanksgiving and was freezing cold. It was a long crazy night that consisted of people lighting adds and trash to stay warm and me kicking someone that caught me off guard by grabbing an item I had placed on the floor between my legs while I grabbed another.

Our first Christmas in our house was great. Awhile back someone asked me if Christmas is ever as magical as when we small. I got my answer Christmas morning when my sons face lit up when he saw his presents and that Santa had eaten all his cookies.

That about covers it.

So who wants to explain this new Zodiac crap to me? Anyone?
