Well since my sister has been bugging me about updating this, then here ya go..
About a month after we got married we moved out of the trailor we were at into a little cute apartment. Trust me, it's REALLY small (our king size bed goes from wall to wall in our room), but I couldn't be in that trailor anymore. Don't get me wrong, I'm really grateful that our past landlords let us move in for a very cheap price, otherwise we wouldn't have had a place to live, but there wasn't a cooler on the trailor and we really couldn't afford to just have A/C units in every room. By March it was already starting to get hot in there (it was cooler outside) and we had 2 floor fans and one A/C unit in the living room. We were VERY uncomfortable and tried to make any excuse we could to not have to be there. And in that one month of having an A/C unit and fans on for ONLY the times we were home, which wasn't very often, our electric bill was $150! My heart dropped when I saw that. And it wasn't even the start of summer yet!! So as soon as I found out my Dad's friend's apartment was available we moved out as soon as we could. I guess we hurt feelings because our landlords were our friends but we had to do what we could afford. Tyrel needed a new vehicle because his family needed his passport really bad, and there was no way we could afford both. So we did what was right for US.. they can be mad all they want I really don't care. That was 4 months ago. Get over it. I just couldn't stand to be in that trailor with 90+ degree heat. Might as well live outside. Anyways, our apartment is way cheaper now, our electric bill has never been over $150, it has been WELL under. And we're happy. We may be struggling a little bit right now financially, but we're over all happy. I qualified for work study and Tyrel got a raise so we'll be just fine!
How are our pups doing?
Very well.
Lilly is still the same little brat as she's always been, and Bear is the peeing machine, but is the sweetest dog you'll ever see. I've never seen him snap at anyone or anything. Jessie, is the biggest spoiled brat dog that gets anything she wants because she the smallest and youngest, but we sure do love her. She's very sensitive so you have to be careful what you say and how you look at her ;) The only worry we have is she's not growing. She almost 8 months and she's still only a little bit bigger than her best friend Keely (Syl's Chihuaha). We're afraid she may not be able to breed which was the only reason we got her for. But we'll just have to wait it out.
I'm so happy to be an Aunt! It the greatest blessing getting to be able to hold her when we get a chance. I feel bad that I'm not around as much as I want to be because we live so far apart. But when I do see her I love it. She's already 4 months old and getting so big!! I can't wait til she gets old enough to recognize who every one is. She's so fun.
There's not much else that's really going on. We're planning on a vacation in a couple weeks to Cali, and I'm getting ready for school to start again. This summer went by super fast and I don't want it to end. It feels like the fun just began! Tyrel and I are both on a co ed softball team and it's really fun! I'm surprised I even enjoy it or even play because the last time I played softball I was in like 2nd grade. But I love getting out and being active like that! Reminds me of high school sports.. :(
