The Past Fortnight

So what have Brian and I been doing these past two weeks?? Well here it all is in one post!! The biggest event of the past two weeks is that we moved to a new apartment..which is also the reason my blog has been MIA. When we moved it took us over a week to have the cable man come out to set up the cable and Internet...then we found out it could all be done by phone and we never even needed a home visit and could of had cable/internet a whole week earlier!!

First things first though...I got my teeth pulled yesterday! :( It was just the top two wisdom teeth so I wasn't put under or anything. The reason they had to go in the first place was because they were growing in at an angle and the teeth were pinching my cheeks causing really horrible sores! I got to have the "laughing gas" and it was awesome! It truly really made me want to laugh! At one point I think I had too much of the gas because I was getting really confused. I thought the Dr. had already pulled out my teeth but all he actually done was give me the shot to numb everything! The whole event was over in 15 minutes and Brian was pretty surprised! The effects of the gas got me all the way home and then the pain started kicking in and it wasn't fun anymore! Anyways, I totally understand why people become addicted to drugs now!
My teeth!!!


Now for the move...it was long!! We had Brian's parent's helping and our friends Ryan and Ashley. We would never have been able to move without their help! Brian and I started at 8am, Theresa got there around 10, followed by Mike and then Ryan and Ashley! We moved until about 4pm that day. Brian and I ended up having three trips to make on Sunday (the big day was Saturday) and then another 3 or 4 trips on Monday!! On Sunday, Brian and I were going to go back to our old apartment to clean but I was so sore and exhausted that I ended up taking a 4hr nap! So I took a vacation day on Monday and Brian and I cleaned for 6hrs on Monday at our old apartment! Here are some pictures of our new apartment with all the boxes everywhere!
I think this might be the first picture of me on my blog...and of course it has to be after a whole day of moving!!
And of course here is Mr. Mowglie causing trouble!! Moving the cats went surprisingly good. Mr. Mowlie even made the trip without pooping or throwing up (he doesn't like to travel)!! Last year when we moved, Duma and Mowglie were terrified but this time they accepted the new place immediately. The only adventure was moving Miss Chloe! Brian and I were going to take all three cats over at once but when we went to get them Miss Chloe was hiding behind the washer and wouldn't come out. So we took Mowglie and Duma and came back for Miss Chloe about 30 mins later. Well Miss Chloe was very scared because of all the activity going on that day. We got her in her carrier and I started the trip to the car. Right as I was reaching for the car handle the top of Miss Chloe's carrier popped open and she fell to the ground!! She took off running across the parking lot with Brian right after her! Once we caught her she was so terrified that I just had to hold her...no chance at all of getting her back in the carrier! We finally got her over to the new apartment and she was instantly fine as well!
This Mowglie's new favorite spot!

Miss Chloe lounging on the patio! The cats love our new patio. Our apartment is really nicely situated by the trees so there is a lot of animal activity going on for our cats to enjoy! We also have a lot more flying bugs that keep all the cats busy every night!
The baby Duma napping on her perch! The cat tree is now by a window so they love that as well!
This picture is on the 4th of July after fireworks! Brian and I grabbed Dairy Queen on the way home and Mr. Mowglie got the last of mine! We went out to Mormon Lake to see fireworks with Ryan, Ashley and another friend Alli. The show was pretty good but we ended up being kinda far away so we couldn't hear the booming. Afterwards we came home and watched Independence Day!
The day after the 4th of July we went to the Renaissance Faire in Flagstaff. It was pretty lame but this guy was cool!

If you look very carefully you can see Mowglie on top of the wall! He first started sleeping on the other side of the kitchen and he would get up there by using the refrigerator to make the jump. On this side he simply just makes a HUGE jump!!


He got stuck up there on his first time and Brian had to get him down. Since then, he has mastered the jump down!

So in short...Brian and I love our new apartment! We have lots more space and we each get our own walk in closet! With all of our windows and doors (we have one in the kitchen that leads to the patio) we have a great breeze and we're surrounded by trees on two sides! I will be posting pictures of our apartment soon but we still have boxes everywhere! We are almost done getting everything in place...hopefully at the end of this weekend!

My mouth is still hurting but it is getting better. I ate my first "real" food item tonight...a Taco Bell bean burrito. It only took me 20 minutes to get it down!! It was nice after a day and a half of apple sauce, cottage cheese, soup and slimfast shakes!
