Crazy Days!!

Obviously things have been a little crazy for us!! I will try to keep you updated as things change in the next couple weeks! For now here is the update...

Kasey is having a partial Rhinoplasty on October 16th!! In this surgery they will break all the bones surrounding his nose, reallign them and repair the Deviated Septim. Dr. Mobley (the surgeon) said he may need a full Rhinoplasty after the age of 16, depending on how puberty affects his facial features! Kasey has adapted to all of this pretty well actually! The surgeon obviously would not discuss the process of the surgery while Kasey was in the room. This left him very quizzical. Luckily, we were able to skirt around the truth a little and still ease his mind to prepare for the surgery!

I will be having an MRI tomorrow afternoon.....unfortunately I have been really struggling with migraines and aches down my right arm. I thought Physical Therapy would help but it hasn't and I finally lost the argument and scheduled the MRI. I should have results Tuesday sometime!!

On a very Bright Note...I was informed that I will be moving into the Merchandising Department for Maverik!!! This is a LONG awaited promotion!! I will be meeting with the Director of Merchanding on Tuesday to figure out the best way to move into this position!! It will be a much needed pay raise and change of routine!! I will keep you updated on the process!!

The kids are LOVING school and doing great!! Jeff has a nasty cold right now but he his being a trooper!! We went up to Pineview Reservoir for his company barbecue yesterday! The colors in the canyons are amazing!! I would strongly recommend taking a drive up there before the reds are gone!!

Well, time for dinner so I will send my love for now and talk with you later!!

Love You All!!!

Nose Jobs and Remodel Jobs!

Well, the day finally came that the splint fell off Kasey's nose! When the splint came off the other night he ran in the bathroom crying!! When Jeff went in to ask him what was wrong he admitted that he had been playing kick ball that day and that the ball hit his face and knocked the splint off. He had tried to tape it back on!! He was even more distraught to find that his nose was still crooked!! He thought that he made it crooked again when the ball hit him in the face. After we reassured him that it wasn't his fault that it was still crooked...we discussed the possibility of the reconstructive surgery. He refused to have the second surgery!! He didn't want to miss out on any play time!! We assured him that he would regret it if he chose not to have it fixed now! After a couple hours of being upset he finally agreed to listen to what the doctors suggest! We will meet with the ENT at 9:00am on Wednesday!

IDEAS ANYONE??

So here's the deal....the first time we saw the front room of our house...we KNEW we had some work to do. Not that it is bad..haha..just severely outdated!! We have the popcorn ceiling and the wallpaper is the old fabric type. Brown of all colors! The carpet is not too old so that is a plus...but we definately need to modernize the walls and ceiling! So I am posting pictures of my Living Room in hopes that I will get a rush of ideas from all of you!!
