2010~ Sucks a BIG one!

Well Well we are now officially FOUR months into this year and thus far it has been total crap~ But we're making it through I guess.

~Situation 1~ Our house was broken into...

Holt came home from work and found doors open and things out of place in our garage, and then came in to find our patio door was shattered and our living room was in "shambles".

He called the police and waited for them to show up before going any further.

Once the police left we were able to survey the damages...and HOT DANG!!!

It was AWESOME!!!! [please note the HEAVY sarcasm]~

~They took TONS of stuff~

*My laptop*dvds*knives*a shotgun*a camera*a broken tv {ha ha sucker}*some condoms {yes...condoms}*and more...We estimated over $7000 worth of stuff was taken...as well as our sense of safety.

Thank goodness we have Renter's Insurance so that helped us out a lot.

It has been hard adjusting to the new sense of paranoia... of not feeling safe in your own home... but we're making it through and I guess it was a good wake up call to realize that things are so easily taken away from you...

~Situation 2~ Papa T*burg had a heart attack

We got a call one Sunday letting us know that Holt's dad had a heart attack. He had to spend the next few days in the hospital and was none too happy about it... They did an angioplasty and put in some stents. Scary times. It was really really hard to be away from the family in a situation like this. Not being able to be there to give our love and support was really hard. We're not use to being away from the family in times like these~ it was hard. But Bill seems to be doing better {as much as you can be after a heart attack}. For Spring Break Holt surprised his parents with a visit out to Utah. I think it was good for him to be able to go home and see how his father was doing, and hopefully it eased some of his concerns and stresses.

There have been quite a few other "situations" this year that make it "suck a big one"~

~But like I said, we are making it through and I guess what they say it will only make us stronger...Right?
