Montana Cleaning oh my!

ok So i know its been a while since i last was really even on here. so here is a rant for ya all. LOL.

So i'm in montana for Blakes Graduation. (yeah i know crazy he is that old, and he has a girlfriend, just to weird for me but it works) so anyway i've been here for almost two weeks. I came early for the purpose of cleaning my parents house. My goodness. here i am a 3 days till departure and am still not done close but not done and not done exactly like i would like but its getting close. So far i have conqured a mountain of dirty clothes, torn out carpet, painted a room. moved an office to a room previously used for well we'll call it STORAGE. thats being way nice. I've filled a dumpster twice, sent my brother to the dump twice with a back of a truck full of garbage bags, also had him make two deliveries to the folk shop, rearranged a kitchen made two shelves, turned a flour cupbord thing into a regular cupbord and no to mentioned cleaned so much and been so frustrated that i got a cold sore on my lip. All with a 11 month old at my heels the whole time. wanting the time he usually gets with his mom and even more since were not at home. MAN AM I TIRED!!!

On the good side: i went to lunch with Callie, Hayley and Laura(oh and kaden). It was so nice to see everybody. I got to see my Uncle Darrin and Aunt Kathy and their two kids, my grandparents and my uncle rory and his girlfriend and her kids. Got to go bowling with them for Garretts b-day. I also got some new clothes since my luggage got lost my mom got kyler and i some clothes to tide us over for a few days. Now that story.

Ok so i was really nervous for the first time ever for my flight to montana. I think it was just because i've never really flew when i had to be accountable for anyone but myself. So everything was going well. We Janet and Kimly took me to the airport and got me and well thats about where the trouble started. I got to the check in counter because i was checking a bag. I get there and find out my bag is to heavy and if i don't get rid of 5 lbs then they are going to charge me $90 to check it instead of $15. What a rip can i tell you. anyway so we get that situated and then get me checked into the flight. I asked if there was by chance a free seat so kyler could sit in his car seat on the way there. But there wasn't so we checked it and when up stairs to go through securty. I know sounds like nothing i wrong right. Well here's were i am proven wrong. They speed me through the line because i have a baby and i get up to the guy to check my ticket and he kinda laughs and asks if i have a ticket for me. I just give him a kinda confused look and then he shows me the ticket. The lady at the desk had checked me in as Zachary woods for a flight to billings. GREAT!!! so i go back down and find the lady that checked me in and she looks a little scared finds me my ticket and checkes me in as me then we go back up and everything goes pretty well actually considering i was flying with a baby. There happened to be TWO open seats right next to eachother on the plane i'm on so i acutally could have had the car seat but since it was already checked whatever. So kyler does good anyway listens to my ipod with his headphones and kinda plays in his own seat. Then we actaully get into missoula about 45 min early. We go to wait for our luggage and wahoo it doesn't come so i go to file a missing thing and they don't located they put it in the system and tell me to call if i want to check and see if they have found it. But they would call me if they did. So i tell them what i know and that it's probably at billings and show them the ticket they gave me originally and it also has the luggage scans on them. (so glad it didn't throw it away) anyway so the lady was really nice that helped me she told me that there was no reason for the slc lady to check me in as him especially since he originally got on his flight in san diego. she also put a special notice out for billings, slc and san diego to see if it went to any of them. 2 days go by and by them i'm getting annoyed so i keep calling on the third day i finallly get sick of waiting and call billings myself. Guess what they have it its been sitting there 3 days. So i ask if they can send it to missoula and there we have it delta people are stupid and lazy. I found my own luggage and had it sent myself to the airport and they charge me for my luggage WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!!!

Anyway i'm doing good can't wait to get home to my house and relax. LOL

The Joys of Owning a home.


Well (i think it was) Tuesday Kyler and i were outside working on the back yard. Everything was going great, kyler was climbing in the rocks of our landscaping a i was using a hedge trimmer as a weed wacker. then we decided to hook up the hose and clean off back patio. well our outside water is off b ecause we need to fix our sprinklers. (when we turn the water on at the main valve all the sprinklers turn on and won't stop) so we have one faucet out of the house in the back, so we hooked the hose up and started cleaning. Then all the sudden i looked into the window and there was water runnig dow it. OH CRAP!!!! it was shutting off when we shut the tap off so we knew it wasn't back farther in the line. But water was running down my wall and even out of our ac vent in the celing. Everything turned out ok it was a burst pipe. The whole thing to fix the pipe cost us $25.00 and the help of a few family members. I do however have some holes in our walls that we'll need to fix soon but still won't cost to much we already have the paint that our previous owner left. so its justsome sheet rock and putty, along with enlisting some more family help.
