GOOD NEWS!!

Well, we've already made a deal to buy the trailer we saw this morning. He started off asking $11,000, but he's allowing us to have it for $10,000. He's giving us EVERYTHING in it which is a lot, and even though there are some things we'll want to get rid of, there is a lot of good things in it including nice furniture and 2 or 3 dressers. A lot of my pictures turned out crappy because I forgot to put the flash on at first, plus I don't have a lot of pictures because I felt weird taking them, but here are some.

This is the outside including a shed (shed needs painted).















This is the kitchen which they've left dishes and such out. Nice, but needs cleaned.















Blurry without flash. This will be the computer room.















YAY FOR US WE HAVE A HOME! And we'll probably have it within the next couple of weeks to start hardcore cleaning and getting rid of the crap we don't want. After we decide what we do and don't need, we'll let you guys know incase you need or want some of the stuff. Yay! Yay yay!!

Oh, then only things I REALLY despise is that there is carpet in one of the bathrooms....that is a no no. So, we will have to rip that out and redo that floor which might be a nasty job. Rusty will definitely have to take his allergy medication for that one because I bet it's moldy as hell.

More trailer fun

This morning we are going to go see trailer #3 of the pictures in the other post. It's a 1992, and he wants $11,000 for it, but I bet we can talk him down a bit. I'm so excited that I can't even sleep which is bad for me. I can never not sleep. I've been up since 7:30am, and I didn't even have to get up until 9:00am. You know I'll be napping later. I'm REALLY hoping that it's nice inside because I just want all this to be done and over with.

OHHH, I forgot to tell you what happened with the other trailer. He called and told us that her loan did go through, BUT the lot rental people didn't know if they wanted her there since they found some bankruptcies when they checked her out. So, he made us wait a whole other day to know whether we could buy it or not, and when he finally called us, he said "Unfortunately, the lady is able to rent the lot. So, it IS sold. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Selfish jackass. So, that threw that idea out of the window. So, everyone cross your fingers that this is a nice trailer.

OHHHH, I also forgot to tell you that when I called the guy about the trailer we're going to see this morning, I could hardly understand his accent, but he did say someone else might buy it. But, the next time I talked to him, he said "Well, the guy is in the hospital in critical condition. He's probably going to die. So, you can buy it." LMAO! That was real smooth. But, this guy lives in another state now, so he's having a girl friend show it to us today, and her English is worse than his. She didn't even understand what I meant when I asked her if we could bring a camera to take pictures of the rooms.....
Well, this ought to be tons-o-fun.

That's MY driveway!

Well, I forgot to mention our little mishap the other day while going to see the trailer. We were just driving around slowly looking at the trailers to see if any were for sale because we were there a little early (traffic wasn't as bad as what I had expected that night). All of the sudden, this lady in a car was riding our ass. I turned off on another road, but apparently, that was the way she was going too, and she looked pretty peeved, so I decided it was best just to pull over, put on my emergency blinkers, and let her pass. So, instead of going around, she sat in her car, waving her hands in the air, and making a scrunched face while saying nasty words that I couldn't quite make out. We couldn't figure out what the hell she was doing. We didn't understand why she didn't know that we pulled over to let her around since we were going so slow. We thought she was a total moron and just being a bitch. So, all of the sudden, she got out of her car, and I was going to have a hay day with this one. I couldn't wait for her to come up to our window so I could be a bad ass and tell her was a tard she was. But, she got to the window, I rolled it down, and she said "Umm, you're in my driveway." And she said it like we were the stupidest people known to man. Of all the places for me to pull over to let her around. In what crazy world did she think that we were supposed to know that that was HER driveway? OH my goodnes, like, I should have known all along that was where you were going...my bad. What a bitch...lol.

Bad trailer news

So, we went and looked at #2 last night. It was kinda dirty and stuff was everywhere, but that's only because they're in the process of fixing some stuff. We decided that yes, we wanted that trailer, so I called the guy today to see if we could give him some kind of deposit now in order to hold it until we can get a loan finalized, but he informed us that another woman is in the process of trying to get a loan to buy the trailer. Humph. How disappointing. The only good news about the whole thing is that he said she was having trouble getting the loan, and she was supposed to find out today if it was going through. If it doesn't go through, then the trailer is ours, so he is supposed to call us tomorrow in order to let us know whether we can have it or not. Everyone keep their fingers crossed.

Bye bye trailor

Well, someone bought our first choice for a trailor (even though we hadn't see the inside, yet). That one was the #1 picture. The lady called and left a message saying not to bother to come to look at it tonight because someone just bought it. They seemed really nice, too. The one we're seeing tonight is #2, so not bad. I just hope it has a big bathtub/bathroom like the other one did. Here in a couple of minutes, we're going to go drive around a couple of trailor parks to look for phone numbers to call. I really hope we find one soon.

I did my CPR course yesterday morning. It was fun, and I actually met someone that seems really nice who is in the same program that I am. Maybe next time I post, I will give some life-saving pointers that I learned. Now, I'm going to go get something to eat since I just woke up.

Trailors!!

I went to Independence Hill today to take some pictures of trailors that were for sale so we could look at them, call to get info, and find out which ones we want to go see. So far, we have three we like that we're going to see Monday.

Welp, I have to go to work, or I'll be late. Let me know what you think.

Perfect end to a long ass day.

So, I had class all day long, and I also went to get my titer done. The titer is used to see if I have enough Hepatitis B antibodies in order to be immune from the disease if I come in contact with it. Well, as I've said before, they always have trouble finding my veins just like my mom. Well, this nurse lady poked at my right arm about 5 times before she decided to try my left. She actually got it on the first try with the left arm...but now I'm bruised...lol. BUT it's done.

So, Russell worked from 7:00am to 4:00pm today, so I got to see him for like 15 minutes before I went to Theatre class (except for the 30 minutes I went to see him on his lunch break). Well, I went shopping real quick after class, and when I came home, Russell had cleaned the house, too out the garbage, gathered all the dirty clothes so he could wash them tomorrow, lit candles, ran me a hot bubble bath, and put our **honeymoon candle by the bathtub with the lights off. Even though he had worked in the cold all day, he decided that I was having a long, hard week and decided to do these sweet things for me when he could have been relaxing instead. Do I have the sweetest husband or what?




**The honeymoon candle is a purple glass candle that was given to us in our cabin on our honeymoon in the Smokey Mountains. We lit it outside every night when we were in the hottub. Ooo la la.

Hepatitis B shots blow!

I recently had a little scare. I thought I had all three of my Hepatitis B shots completed, but my mother informed me that she though I only received two. She didn't want me to get the third one because she heard on the news that some people had gotten it from the vaccinations, but I thought I had gotten it anyway. Well, I couldn't remember exactly when she said that so it started to freak me out because if you stopped at two and didn't get the third on time, then you would have to start the 6 month span of shots all over again. Well, I just found out that I infact had all three shots...THANK YOU GOD! So, I'll probably go today to get blood drawn to get my titer down and out of the way to finish that whole immunization mess up. Now all that is left is my CPR course which I should be completing this Sunday from 8-noon. It's only $20 if anyone wants to join me and learn how to save a life.

Little by little

Well, I've been getting all my nursing stuff done little by little. Yesterday, I spent A LOT of time in the hospital. I went there in between my first two classes and finished my criminal background check. Then, I went to the bookstore and spent $62 on one name badge, 3 nursing patches, and one navy blue lab coat. Crazy, I know. I think I'm going to see if Russell's dad can order the rest for cheap since he orders medical stuff a lot anyway. I'M SO DAGGON EXCITED! Then, later in between my last two classes, I went back to get my PPD done (which is the test to see if you've been in contact with Tuberculosis). I have to go back either Thursday or Friday in order to check my arm to see if I have...I doubt it. Oh, and I also found out that it's going to cost me $47.50 to get my titer done for Hepatits B in order to see if I have enough antibodies. If I don't, then I have to pay even more for a freaking booster shot! Damn you nursing school for making me go broke just to learn! I think they should make all this available to you for free since you have to pay so much to go anyway.

Yay for nursing. Yay for me.

Wow. I just got a letter in the mail for nursing starting May 22, and it's crrrazy! I have so much to do in order to prepare. I even got my list of classes already:

MONDAY: Health Assessment 8am-1pm
TUESDAY: Basic Nursing Intervention 7am-2pm
WEDNESDAY: Basic Nursing Intervention 7am-2pm
THURSDAY: Basic Concepts of Nursing 9am-12pm
FRIDAY: Basic Concepts of Nursing 9am-11am (it says 11pm, but I'm hoping it was just a typo!)

Wow, am I going to be busy or what? This is only NINE HOURS of classes!! Doesn't look like it! I thought this was going to be a cakewalk, but it looks like I was terribly wrong!

Anyway, I have to call right away to order my WVU SON name pin, WVU SON patches for my uniforms, and navy blue lab coat. I also have to purchase my very own two-way head stethoscope and 5 1/2" bandage scissors. I also have to go get a criminal background check done, take a CPR class again, buy a bunch of dress clothes for class, and get a TB test which I hear might be painful. AND, I have to provide all documentative proof of my immunizations....which means I might have to get a tetanus shot, too. *sad face* Those hurt! So much to worry about! I can't wear lots of jewelry, not that I do, but I'd like the option! It has to do with cross-infection. No nail polish. No footies or colored socks.

But even with all this to do and worry about, I AM STILL REALLY DANG EXCITED! AREN'T YOU ALL EXCITED TO START HEARING ABOUT ALL MY NURSING EXPERIENCES?! lol

Things that make you go awwwww.

Found these on the web. Just thought I'd share. BTW, these are not pictures of Gunther. lol
