Just An Update

Well, there must be some nasty bug going around. Avery was up all night Saturday with projectile vomiting ( I don't remember experiencing anything like this with Allie when she was this age.) I had to change my clothes three times, Derek had to change his once and my Dad had to change his too. I felt so bad for her. She's acting fine now, but has a runny nose. Then Sunday night Derek was up all night doing the same thing.....his was so bad though that we had to end up taking him to the ER because he was so dehydrated and couldn't breathe. Allie has had some diarrhea but luckily no vomiting....I've been lucky so far and am still healthy.

We just found out the other day that Derek has been extended. We'll be here until May now, which is good because Derek is behind on his thesis and this extra time will help him get caught up and hopefully get him a better grade. He also gets to keep his same assignment to Lackland (San Antonio) which was the other reason he didn't want to extend in the first place. The only down side to all of this is that our landlords are wanting to move back into this house and we only have a lease until the end of March! So I don't know what we're going to do about all of that. We'll figure it out eventually I guess. We're still looking for a house down in Texas....the last offer we put on a house wasn't accepted (this time it was exactly the asking price). Oh well, we'll find something eventually.

Had to get out and take stuff back to the library today so I ran some quick errands. I got all of this stuff for........65 cents total! It really pays to use coupons paired with sales!!

Here the girls are enjoying their snack.


Oh, and we have been preparing for our move. Even though it's postponed a little now we'll still continue to slowly pack things up. We've been selling a lot too! So far we've sold a lot of our "bigger" things and we've made exactly $350 on it all. We hope to have a garage sale before we move to help lighten our load some more as well!

Well, I hope everyone else is keeping healthy. Until next time....

that is crazy you guys are extended. at least it is not for very much longer! We have renters coming in the day after we move, but if they weren't, you could have just lived in our house the last month! You really need to teach me how to do that couponing thing... I can't believe how cheap you get things for!

You guys have had the worst luck with the housing arrangements here in Ohio. I hope it works out better for you in Texas. I also need to get together with you to see what system you have for couponing.
