Hello Everybody!

So I figured I should probably provide an update as I have not "blogged" for like 2 months or something. Between my new job, moving into our house, Taylor taking his FE exam, and filing a law suit against our insurance company...our life has been so nuts!! We seriuosly come home at the end of each day and are too exhausted to do anything!

But I check your blogs all of the time and see all of your cute kids! Maybe when I have cute kids to post pictures of I will be better at blogging?? Maybe. Ok so here is the update...

1. New Job
I work at this company called Icon Health and Fitness, which is the largest manufacturer of fitness equiptment in the world. I am an assistant to the regional corporate sales manager of the western region of the USA. So it's kind of cool because my boss handles big accounts like Walmart, Target, Shopko, Sports Authority, Big 5, Costco...all of the big companies have accounts with Icon. So I sit at a desk all day and solve problems about orders placed by these big companies. It's not the most fun job in the world, but I stay so busy that the days fly! And it pays well, has good insurance, all of that stuff. So although I am sad that I don't work at the salon anymore, I still do hair all of time at night.(which sometimes feels like too much, but oh well!)

2. New House
We moved into our new house on 10/13, and it is alot of work to move into a new house! There is dust everywhere, appliances are hooked up wrong, the guest bathroom only has HOT water, etc. So we have slowly been making progress and putting everything away. We can't sell the house until 3-1, so we have a little while to live there. Hopefully we get some offers soon!

3. FE
Taylor is taking the FE exam on Saturday. (the fundementals of engineering exam, which is required to graduate) It is a dang expensive 8 hour exam! So he goes up to campus every morning at 7:30, I pick him up at 5:00, feed him, and then take him back up from 7-10. So we are excited for it to be over, and then maybe he can be home at night!

4. Stupid dishonest insurance company
As you all know I had those 2 surgeries a little while ago. It is covered in our insurance plan, and we called for preauthorization...but guess what? They decided AFTER my surgeries that this was going to be considered a "preexisting condition". So we now have thousands of dollars in medical bills that they don't want to pay...lovely. So my dad, who is a medical defense attorney (AKA he usually defends big insurance companies) Is now filing a law suit for us against the insurance company. It has been a tremendous headache, but I think we are now to the point where the insurance company is going to back down and pay the charges. We are hoping that they will decide that they want to keep this out of court, because it will cost them more money to fight us then to just pay now. I will let you guys know what happens!

On a brighter note, we are very excited for halloween since we now live in a real neighboorhood. I am so excited to have cute little trick-or-treaters, and carve our huge pumpkins. I love you girls, and hope you are all doing well. Your kids are adorable and I am jealous! Shelli- are you still planning our girls trip to mexico??? I am so there!!! K bye for now!

  2. Just wanted to let you know that I'm in a health law class right now and so if you need me to be part of your legal council...I'd be more than willing to help. Just Kidding. I am taking the class but you probably don't want me representing you. :) Jeremy
    P.s. Kelli & Kaylie say Hi!

  4. Yeah!!! You updated your blog. I know, it's just one more thing to nag at you. Atleast that's how I feel about it. I'm going to be in Boise for Thanksgiving so if you guys are up to it I would love to see you. I'm going to be husbandless but I have 2 really cute girls to make up for it. :) I think that Shellee is going to be there too. Let me know.
