And we're moved in.......

Whew-we moved in on Friday, the 24th of July...thankfully I have a wonderful friend, Lynell-who brought herself and 2 of her children(teenagers) to help us move! We were completely moved out of the shithole in 4 hours!! Thats what I'm talking about! We already had our move out walk thru and we should be getting everything back that we deposited!
The dogs are loving the extra space...they'll be in major shape by the time we move out of here. At first they were scared to go up the stairs, but with a treat, they were both convinced to go up there.....now there's no stopping them from tearing up and down those stairs. It sounds like a stampede sometimes! LOL

Our kitchen...its so nice that Daniel and I can both be in the kitchen at the same time now! Ah, the things we take for granted!

Our lovely porch...and tomato plants that I hope will give us some beautiful tomatoes soon!

Stairs...who hasn't seen those?

The beautiful front loading washer and dryer that my parents got for us for a wedding present! Ah...I was so excited to start some laundry!

Well the date has been set for the spinal cord stimulator. I'll be having the surgery on the 3rd of August. So I'll be spending the week up in Killeen so my mommy can take care of me afterwards.
Well I'll be sure to post pics after the surgery! Talk to you laters!

Auf Wiedersehen!

A dinner date and SeaWorld.....




Well we FINALLY got a dinner date. Sure, it was a work "going-away" party, but it still counts. We got to get dressed up and leave the house...thats great for me! And we woke up this morning and decided to swing by SeaWorld for a turn on the Steel Eel...I love that rollercoaster! Thank goodness for season passes!!

The countdown is now down to 5 days until we get to move! For some reason I think the neighbors on top of us know that we're leaving, so they're gonna make sure that they wake us up every night until we leave. Thats alright, we'll be up early the day that we move! "ooops" I'm sorry we keep smacking the wall! LOL "Did we wake you up?"

Thought I'd include a pic of how lazy our dog Jack is. Sad that he can't stand up and eat....no, jack has to lay and eat! Silly dog


The next countdown for me is my surgery...15 days until I get my permanent Spinal Cord Stimulator. Little nervous, but excited to be done with all this pain!! Stay tuned for new pictures of our new steps forward in our lives!

And the countdown is on.....

Well as of today there is 11 days until we move out of our shithole apartment and move into our new townhouse!


Daniel and I can't wait to start a new life in this apartment;stressful and I don't have to worry about the fat neighbors on top of us waking us up in the middle of the night! Yippee. Now if anyone stomps on the floor, I'll go up there and tell Daniel to stop! LOL We'll be getting over 400 more square feet than what we're living in now. My wonderful parents bought us these wonderful LG front-loading washer and dryer...I've never been so excited to do laundry! Now we don't have to take it to his mothers house and deal with all that drama!

So we've been slowly packing and WOW, I never realized how much stuff you accumulate over time! LOL Whew-so we're doing some "summer cleaning" getting rid of stuff that we don't want to take with us to the new apt!

Well the date has been set and I will be having the Spinal Cord Stimulator permanent implant surgery done on the 3rd of August. I will going home for a week with my mommy, so she can take care of me. A little nervous but I'm so ready to be pain-free! I've been waiting for this surgery for almost 2 years now...so bring it on!

My last year of Nursing School starts the 24th of August. So the countdown is on! Only 300 days left! LOL From there, we can't decide where to go for our honeymoon (yes it will be about 1.5 years late) so its between Germany and Hawaii! I've been to Hawaii twice, but Daniel hasn't. And then I would love to go back home to Germany and see my hometown and my family. So I have a feeling that Germany is going to win! LOL

Well back to packing up our little apartment. Talk to you again after we move to the new place and maybe after my surgery (wait for those pictures! LOL) Tata for now! LOL
