I did more laundry today.

Zion called from AZ and told me that our unity candle from our wedding fell off the table and broke. That is sad.

I will still come back to Arizona, Zion, I said I would.

We just got back to Lima from Cheo (Christian Homeschoolers Education of Ohio). It was a fun but crazy 3 days. There were 80 mile an hour straight line winds in Lima the day we went to Columbus. There are trees down all over town still. (It reminds me of the ice storm last winter)

Becca, Brandon and I arrived in Lima late last night.
Today I am going to Love and Learn to get ready for Cheo.
I will be working with my Mom and sister, Jess.
We'll have fun.

I did laundry today.

Today we are packing for our trip to Ohio.
Yesterday our car broke down and when I jumped out to help push, my flip flop BROKE.
My flip flops were almost 2 years old.
I bought my flip flops for Family camp two years ago to wear in the shower.
They came from the dollar store.
I got my $1 worth out of them.
I threw them in the trash after they broke.
Tomorrow we will go to Phoenix for church.
We are going to stay at Danny and Joanna's.
Danny or Joanna are going to take Becca and me to the airport on Monday.
Monday night we will be in Ohio.
I will write more later.

All right, already! That's quite enough!! You won't even believe what I am about to tell you. This is what happened tonight...

Well, first things first, today Becca and I went shopping at the Outlet malls in Casa Grande and had a jolly good time!!! We each got a bunch of adorable clothes for camp without spending a fortune!! (Very exciting in my book!) And when I got home from the mall, Zion told me that BOTH cars were repaired and it only cost us just under $300!! Plus, hurray, Jariah's car is repaired, too, we just have to go pick it up in Phoenix next time we're there!!

Then, when we got home, Zion wanted to take us the Tanque Verde Swap Meet. On the way, OUR STUPID CAR BROKE DOWN AGAIN!!!!!
Can you believe it??! My '03 is down for the second time in a week! UGH!!!

I know you guys are all going to say that how much I like or dislike AZ all depends on my attitude. But, contrary to popular belief, I have been trying NOT to read too much into all this nonsense that keeps on happening from the minute we arrived here in Tucson. Seriously though, how much more can one person be expected to take??? This is ridiculous!!!!!!!

I am getting the impression that I’m making the Ramirez boys mad at me, (I’m very astute like that) and (believe it or not) that was NOT my intention in starting this blog. The reason I started it was so that some of my buddies back in Ohio could kinda keep up with what’s happening with me. I was mostly doing this for my Holiday Inn buddies so I didn’t have to email them individually. I wasn’t planning to talk to all you Ramirez guys on here, after all, we live HERE now, why should we have to keep in touch over the web? Well, anyhow, I’m sorry if I’ve offended you by “whining” about your precious Tucson, like I said, that wasn’t my intention, but I am also using this blog to express the way I feel so if you don’t like it, don’t log on. I don’t keep a diary, this is it, and sometimes (especially since I moved) I need to vent. It’s very therapeutic and it’s nothing personal. I would have had similar problems if I had moved to Wyoming, Vermont, Egypt, wherever!! And yes, Josh, I know that I am blessed to have such a wonderful Husband and family, but don’t forget, I have a whole other family 2,000 miles away and it should be understandable that I wouldn’t be overly thrilled with leaving everyone and everything that I have know behind, but I did it and I’m willing to stay here for 2 years and to give it a try. I’m not superwoman, so I shouldn’t be expected to act like I have no emotions or that I love to live on (what looks to me like) mars. (Venus, maybe… mars, no) Well, you know where I stand, I’ll be posting what I’m feeling on here, regardless if you guys approve or appreciate what I say. Like I said, it’s nothing personal. How could it be?
