Okay, so here's some news! My Dad and Justin get to come to AZ in April for a few days! The best part is that it's only gonna cost them the price of 1 one way ticket! How awesome is that?!! (Pretty awesome, IMO!!) It's great because when Dad was here with Mom in January, he only got to stay a few days, and Justin hasn't been here since he helped us move out almost 2 years ago! (Can you believe it?! That's practically forever!! And for those who are wondering, yes, it still feels like it!!) I've lived 4 places since then! LoL (We hadn't technically lived in the hovel yet, and I had 2 "homes" that no one in my family ever even saw! CrAzY!!!!) Everyone saw 'the hovel', and everyone will probably see 'the homestead', but we all lived in 'the haven' in between visits, and the condo, well, we weren't even there long enough to dub it!!
Anyway, I'm excited! They will be here on April 4th for a long weekend, and I can't wait!!

The Dilemma:
Becca and I both went to the same zoo on the same day and had access to the same pictures to put on the same Internet to show to (most of) the same people and we both wanted to do a slide show to broadcast it.
The Solution:
Turn it into a friendly, little competition by each picking our favorite zoo themed song, using the pictures and about 4 hours to complete the videos and letting you, (the wonderful, beautiful/handsome, intelligent) viewers vote for your favorite!! Check Becca's video out on her blog, link ---->

The people of Tucson are all trying to kill me!!
Seriously! I think they must have been reading this blog and taken great insult from it and are out for revenge! That, or my car is completely invisible and I should be able to sell it to the military for millions...
Nearly every day on the way to or from work, someone cuts me off as if they just don't see that I am practically right beside them, or they have a death wish.
Yesterday at about 5:45 a.m. I was on my way to work when I had the worst "cut off" to date. I was driving down Sunrise, or Ina (or is it called something else in that section of town? Who knows!) passing Campbell. I was in the middle lane behind a white truck as we were coming up to the stop light. The light turned green while we were both still about at full speed, no reason to slow down and pull in behind all the stopped cars in that lane when there was an open lane on the right side, right?! The truck in front of me changed lanes, and I followed him. The truck made it through the intersection just fine, and I was about 3/4ths of the way through when a white SUV decided to change lanes into me. (Which by the way, isn't that ILLEGAL??? You aren't allowed to change lanes in the middle of an intersection, are you?) The SUV wasn't up to speed yet, (and I admit, I was going 6-7 miles over... heh heh) so I had to hit the brakes, hard, to get myself completely stopped to allow the moron driving(if you wanna call it that) the SUV in. I came to a screeching halt and everything in my car flew to the front (including my purse, spilling its contents everywhere, Ugh!)
I'm going to go back in the daylight to see the skid marks, I might even take a pic to put on here. A near death experience, or an everyday occurrence, if you happen to live here in beautiful Tucson, Arizona!!!

Okay,
Nothing at all blogworthy has happened in the past couple months, hint's the lack of post-age by yours truely. =)
I just got over a month long cold. (What is that, my 6th in less than 2 years? Ridiculousness!) I've been working quite a bit at the hotel every week, not to mention trying to get the homestead organized. (Oh, and we changed the name of this house to The Homstead. I just think it makes more sense than The Habitat did, since Zion and all his brothers were raised here, it kind of seems like you could actually use 'The Homestead' in an average sentence and people would know what you were talking about.)
I've also done a whole bunch of laundry... but, that's all I have to say about that!

I was starting to feel like I was taking over Shan's blog with all the pictures of the kids, so I decided to start my own. I probably won't be writting a whole lot, mostly posting pictures of the boys and telling cute anecdotes. Hope you guys enjoy!
