Just when I think I pretty much wont have anything else to update about, well life happens :) and a blog is needed.
BABY BAYER
Baby Bayer is doing good, I go to the OB this Friday to do my update, shes getting SOOO BIG now its really really uncomfortable, and unfortunately for Grandma, Brett and Scott, Ive been a little shade more than cranky (sorry guys) due to lack of sleep and pain. Thankfully Im at 35 weeks now so not much longer!!! This weekend Grandma, Brett and I went to San Diego and found our stroller and carseat we wanted!! YEA!! Thanks to a really helpful girl at USA baby we were able to make an informed choice (then went home and ordered it online of course for WAYYYY cheaper). We had alot of fun learning about baby stuff, and Brett really appreciated it, plus it turns out the girls brother in law is a Navy Nuke like Brett and is getting out so we hope to help him with his job search. We also went on the Navy base and saw some HUGE ships and Brett told Grandma all about them which she really enjoyed, we had dessert at Extraordinary Dessert (really fancy desserts as a treat), and finished up at my favorite furniture store where we got an island for the kitchen and a dresser for Gmas closet. woo.. LONG DAY, Sunday, I really (and everyone else) paid for it.
Our travel system!! The Chicco Cortina Keyfit 30... finally we can actually take the baby home.
MY MBA (Masters in Business Adminstration)
Well as of Friday it is done!! I found out Saturday that I actually passed and its official.. I have my MBA. MAB has her MBA. lol... Brett and I joke that I am getting my MRS degree, MBA degree and MOM degree all in one year.. Very funny..
The MEMPHIS HOUSE
Well we got our insurance estimate today and the GRAND TOTAL is... (drumroll please).....
$63,000 approximately
WOW!! Can you believe it?? Not too mention the additional $20,000 it cost to rip all the rotted stuff out... So thankful my husband got USAA and was diligent about paying homeowners insurance.... Thank you Jesus....The big praise is, they will cover 4 months mortgage for loss of use... God is AWESOME!! We were so worried about not being able to make ends meet with the new baby, our rent and bills, PLUS a mortgage in Memphis that we couldn't cover by renting out the house, 4 months will help alot, even though they think the repairs will take longer, I am still very thankful. The PRAYERS HELP!!!! Now we just have to choose a contractor and get that ball rolling!!! Its going to be a challenge trying to coordinate everything, pick out wall cover, stain, floor coverings, rebuild specs, but we are thankful for having the mortgage covered for a little bit.....God is sooo Good!!
Well thats about it (that I will bore ya with for today), Bretts brother Scott deploys Wednesday so please pray for him as he prepares mentally and physically. He came back from Italy with a nasty rash that seems to be slowly clearing up with medication, I would really like to see a big improvement before he goes so he can get the right medicene just in case the boat he will be on doesnt have it. Please keep him in your prayers as well.
Ryan (Bretts other brother) and Dania (Bretts cousin), are currently in Peru traveling all around having fun, seeing sights, and doing mission work :) I cant wait to hear their stories and hope they will have a safe journey, keep them in your thoughts and prayers as well if you can, in Ryans words "traveling can be stressful sometimes."
Grandma Myers seems to be having fun, I had to make her not cook for a day because our refrigerator was overflowing (a good problem), and she about doesnt know what to do!! LOL.. We are going to San Diego in a little bit to get some stain for our island (they forgot to tell us we would need that) and do a hospital tour.
COME VISIT SOON!!!! We love you and please let us know if theres anything we can pray for!!
hugs and kisses
Brett, Michelle, Grandma Myers, and Scott
P.S. My friend Sara Antonia, in memphis- her brother had a motorcycle accident last weekend, his name is Ryan, he broke quite a few bones and is looking at a long recovery (thank God his brain and spine were protected) we're praying hard for their family if you want to join along.
