Donations

I would hate to ask anyone this since the holidays are coming up but I am running out of options. We are in the process of losing our house. No one knows how bad it really is here. We try to hide it but things are not looking up fast enough for us. On Thursday we got a 3 day summon from an attorney for our rent, and that was pretty scary. And then we got a notice from the attorney that they have request a hearing for an eviction. I really don't want to lose my house, I am thinking of my kids here. I am ready to fight for my house and I am not ready to lose it. We fought just as hard to get into this place and I am not ready to lose it without a fight. We need to come up with 3,832 on our rent and we don't know how we are going to pull that off. We have tried everything. Chris has been looking for a job and no one would hire him because he either has too much experience or not enough. We tried many places to get emergency funding and they don't have funding until January. And then my job is not paying enough to make ends meet. We are digging ourselves in a deeper hole and we don't know how to get ourselves out of it. If anyone can donate anything I would really appreciate it, I have no one else to turn to then you guys. Thanks for your time!

Park City!

We went to Park City for my birthday weekend, which was October 23th. We only spent a night there but it was so worth it. Me, Chris, Chris' parents, Trena (Chris' sister) and her husband Shane and her son Aaron, Chris grandparents, Aunt Elise, Aunt Annette and her family, and Uncle Quin and his family was all that came down and spent some family time together. It was nice to get away for my birthday and it was also nice being with the family. We had so much fun there we didn't want to come back. We are definitely going to go back. Chris grandparents own some of the buildings there and they said whenever we want to go up there we can and we can just call them up and tell them when.
Some of the view from our room!


Some of our room. It looked more like an apartment
There is Brody in the door way


Left to right-Trena, Me, Grandma Marilyn, Rocky, and Aaron

cake for my birthday

Chris and the boys in the pool. I couldn't join them
because I was on my time of month :(

When we first got there we had to stay in Grandma and Grandpa's room because our room wasn't quite ready yet. So we just sat and talk and Grandpa gave us a tour around the building. Annette and her family and Aunt Elise were already there because they got there earlier in the week so they were sitting down playing a game when we got there. We also had dinner in their room before we got to our room. When we finally got to our room we got settled in and decided take the boys to the game room so they could play for a little bit then after that everyone went swimming. I felt bad because I couldn't go swimming but I enjoyed watching them. Then after that we all did our own thing. Chris went and played a little pool with the guys and when he got back I went and hung out with Aunt Elise and we had a really good game of ping pong. That was one crazy night with all of us sleeping in one area. Me and Chris slept out on the big pull out couch, Rocky slept on an air mattress, Trena and Shane slept on a pull out bed from the kitchen table, Aaron slept out on the pull out small couch and Brody slept in a play pen. The only ones that really got a comfy bed was mom and dad. We all slept ok. The boys were so good the whole time we were there, I was so proud of them. Brody slept the best out of everyone and I was really surprised because that was his first time not sleeping in his crib. Trena was so worried that one of our boys would be the ones snoring but her son was the noisy one....lol Don't worry the other family members either went home because there were there for a while or they had their own rooms so it was only us in that one room that I mentioned. Overall it was a great time with the family, can't wait to do it again!!
