I am Freakin' Awesome!!

So, you're probably wondering why my post is thus titled. The answer -- just because. What makes me so freakin' awesome? -- nothing in particular, I just am.

So, I'm sitting at work on my lunch break and instead of running the errands I need to, I've decided to blog. I'm feeling lazy and don't want to stand in lines at the post office. Well, my new assignment is okay. It's pretty boring because it's strictly data entry. I have trouble staying awake it's so boring but it will take me through half of April and that's what I was looking for.

I'm official with the school that I previously mentioned -- Patanadek School. They faxed me a contract and I signed it and am working on sending in an application for a Thailand Visa (the errand that I'm putting off). Kristen was offered a job through the school but isn't sure she wants to take it. We don't really want to have Chantrea in daycare full time. Kristen will probably tutor in the evenings a few nights a week. The pay is better and then I can watch Trea. I'm hoping that we can get Trea into a daycare a few hours a week, more because I want her to get some social interaction with other kids and maybe learn some Thai. If Kristen works evenings she could just go with Trea to the daycare. Anyway, we're still working out all the details but we'll keep you up to date with how it ends up.

We found out last week that Chantrea's renal reflux (I mentioned it last year) hasn't resolved itself and instead has progressed from stage 1 to stage 2. We were told that stage 1 usually just resolves itself so we just kind of figured that we didn't have to worry about it anymore and just needed to get her in to be sure. Now we're kind of bummed that it's not only still there but worse. We need to get her in to see a pediatric urologist but that's proving to be more difficult than it sounds.

My birthday was a pretty normal day but I'm not a big b-day person so that's how they usually go. But this past Monday Kristen's parents took us out for my birthday and it was really nice. We went to a Japanese Steakhouse (I wanted Japanese food) where they cook the food in front of you. At one point they put a bunch of oil on the cooking area and then light it and it creates a huge fireball. It's pretty cool but it freaked out my niece, Lonna. Chantrea, on the other hand, was fascinated with it. She's gonna be a pyro. No surprise for anyone who saw me as a boyscout.

Oh yeah, something else related to Thailand. A ward member had mentioned that her neighbor was from Thailand and would probably love to talk to us. So she set it up last week but Kristen had to work and couldn't come so I went alone. Anyway, the cool thing is that this lady, Ni, and her American husband LIVED in the town where we're moving for like 10 years!! They gave us a bunch of people to contact and some helpful information. What are the chances? I'd like Kristen to meet them so hopefully we can set that up soon.

Kristen now has her own blog. It's called chronicallysleepdeprived.blogspot.com. So go check it out if you get a chance. I know she would love some feedback.
