So we are finally settled into our new place. We just go the cutest patio set for the back porch. We sat out there for about an hour and now I am baking Peanut Butter/Fudge bars for the hubby before he is off to the firehouse.
Diesel (our dog) was neutered yesterday at the Blackwood Animal Hospital. He was such a good boy. He slept on me all day yesterday. He was so funny. He looked drunk.
Boy do we wish this rain would go away already!!!
Today is Mom and Dad Coogan's 14th wedding anniversary!! We are having a dinner for them at our place this Friday.

Our New Home
So what a week!! We just moved to our new place in Blackwood on Monday. It's been a very busy week. We are finally all moved in and mostly all organized. We just love it already. It's much bigger and more "like home" Let's just say it was "no piece of cake" doing it all with hardly any sleep. I had many injuries in the process...someone left my bad of kitchen untensils on my kitchen floor and didnt tell me so when I was walking hrough to my pantry I walked into the bag and our wedding cake knife happened to be sticking out, I sliced my ankle deep so there was blood everywhere. Then, I dropped a glass photo album on my toe and if that wasnt enough I forgot there was a ceiling fan in my dining room and while hanging my clock, bump bump bump, uhh huh..there went my head. So, it was quite eventful but, it worked out...Diesel (our dog) decided after a year and a half that he would start barking at other dogs walking by because he sees them doing it. Ughh it drives me crazy lol. Tank (our cat) is still a little funny about the whole move but, he will be fine. Our fish are adapting very well and they all made it after the rough ride over surprisingly. Other than that, we have a pretty crazy month of May with anniversaries, mothers day, my brothers wedding, my best friends graduation from Rowan, birthdays, starting my career, etc...BUSY BUSY BUSY

Crappy and Happy day
I know, it doesnt make sense that the day could be crappy and happy all in one lol...so as far as crappy goes: I feel worse today. I had my appt at the ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) doctor and he stuck a tube down my nose through to my throat. Lets just say it was quite an experience to say the least...I couldnt understand what he was telling me cuz he mustve assumed that I understood the "doctor language vocabulary" but, oh boy was he wrong. I had no idea what was going on. All I know is that he added two more medications to the others I already have to take. Gee was it hard enough to take one a day now 4 different meds, different times of the day, I just dont know lol...
As for the happy, we had a couple come and look at our condo for their second showing in two days so I decided to play SPY and I took our dog Diesel into the car with me and parked across the street and watched the realtor and the clients. I wanted to scope them out cuz ya know we put a lot of time and effort and love into this place and if it wasnt for the taxes and Condo fees, we would stay another year. So, as Im spying Im noticing that the realtor cannot get the combo box open so I, in a panic, decide to drive over and assist in "opening the combo box" well, I couldnt get it open so I gave them my set of keys. Then, I come back to find that the realtor put my keys in the worlds longest, most thin, ancient mailbox ever so, now im locked out. This is just great. I tryed to get my fat fingers in and yum, there were spider webs...ughhhh but, i managed to get the inside key and my neighbor happened to pull up just in time with her key to the outside..whew someone was watching over me.So needless to say the couple is apparently very interested cuz theyre brewing together a good offer. Well they better have a good one cuz all that effort with the spider webs and pinched fingers wasnt cool lol So, we should hear something by this week if they are serious. Then, I could be less stressed out and a little bit of weight lifted off of my shoulders and I can focus on my health and school!!

Danielle convinced us!! We're here!!
So, today is the start of our blog!! After reading many blogs from Danielle, we've decided to start a blog as well.
So, this week has been fun, to say the least. The night before Easter I attended a play at Cedarbrook Bible Church in Winslow. Let me just say that if anyone doesn't understand how Jesus died on the cross, you must see this play next year! I cryed!! I have known what happened but, seeing it reenacted really broadened the whole scene. The actors and actresses were spectacular! It was the most moving play I have ever seen (Andrew missed it).
To add to this weeks adventures, I've recently been diagnosed with Larengitis and the possibility of Lymphoma or Thyroid Cancer. Although, it sounds bad I have the best two families I could ever ask for to be right by my side!! I will be fine and I am a pretty tough cookie so I have no worries, for now.
Earlier this week something happened that totally changed my life. I have developed a strong and beautiful relationship with my in-laws. What a relief. I am so blessed for the family I married into. All of the Rambos mean the world to me. How did I get so lucky?! I do not know but, I have never been so happy!! Thanks to all of you and from the bottom of my heart, I love you all!!!
To end this blog, we are stressing out over getting a new home and this guy from Lakeview is taking his precious time getting back to us about it which makes it difficult to make a sale on our condo. Wish us luck in hopes that he just might remember to call us tomorrow since he forgot today haha!!
