Another week in Alabama August 29th 2011

Hey Y'all!

Its been a very slow week this week with nothing much going on. Its pretty much the same as last week. Sara is working nights. There was this one interesting night, where Regi had diarrhea. I told sara and she thought nothing of it. Then that night, two hours after I put Regi to bed, she started throwing up. She was crying so much she was pretty much screaming. Even with all the commotion in the house, Aliya slept sound in her bedroom. Wow! The day after that, it turned into a cold, and a couple of days later, I inhereted the cold :(

On saturday morning through Sunday night, Sara took the girls up to Hoover for the weekend to celebrate her sister's birthday. I didn't want to go, because I was not feeling well from the cold. So all I did was watch a lot of Netflix, and finish my new favorite book Michael Vey. Such a good book!!! For dinner's, I couldn't find anything that I liked or I was just not up to cooking, so I ordered Chinese food called Golden Dragon. The chinese places here are SO VERY GOOD. Since I am close to the ocean, all the seafood is fresh.

For all those who were wondering, Hurricane Irene did not affect the Gulf of Mexico. We did not even get train here.

The Pictures I sent, are all pretty much in the backyard. It is the city of trees here. It is really hard to find stores and restaurants (mostly restaurants) because of all the trees. You really don't see it till the last minute.

The 2 dogs are cute little dogs. The one on the left is named Layla, and the one on the right, is named Dixie. Dixie is the biggest snuggle bug I have ever seen. :)

I have gotten mom to change the background on the blog, since Harry Potter is over. :'( It is a Mardi Gras image, because Mardi Gras was pretty much "born" in Mobile, Alabama. Most people think it was discovered in New Orleans.

Well, thats all for now!

see ya next week!

Hey Everybody!

So this week has been a little hard for me because Sara has been working nights, and she comes home and sleeps during the day, so I have to take care of the kids while she's sleeping.

On monday, Sara has added me to her AT&T plan, so I have gotten a phone. Now I have 2 phones! An Idaho, and an Alabama phone. Also, I bought myself a Kindle! The Kindle is so amazing!

Aliya has been going to preschool for 3 days a week now, and I have to take her. I have succeeded without getting lost!!! Thank goodness I just have to take about 3 streets to get there.

Last Friday, I FINALLY recieved my debit card! There was a huge mixup, because the bank sent my card to my boss's old address in Arizona! So they had cancel that card and resend the new card which took about 3 days. Saturday, we went out to eat at an Italian restaurant, and sara ordered an appitizer (can't remember the name) and got me to try it. Oh I remember it was Callimary! It was a little gummy, but it was very good. They deep fried it, and put lemon juice over it. I took a picture of it. Then, we had to go grocery shopping, and I got my self a hat (see picture), a skirt, and a couple of earrings. I looooove the debit card. it is so amazing, but I will be careful with it.

thats pretty much it for the week!

I will get another letter next week

Letter 8/7/11

Dear Mom and Dad and Gavin

It has been a slow week this week, with nothing much to do. A couple of weeks ago, Ian, sara's husband arrived at the house, along with 3 chihuahua's named Dixie, Layla, and Tanner. Tanner, we had to give away to a family that would take good care of him, because he wasn't potty trained all the way, so he spent a lot of time in the kennel. It was good to give him to a loving family.

There is a swing out in our backyard, and Ian and I took Aliya and Reggie out, so aliya could swing. I put bug spray on, but I guess I didn't get enough of it on, so I got eaten alive by mosquitos on my legs. One day, it was itching so badly I was in a little bit of pain. (But not too badly mom)

My name was given to YSA (young single adults) so whenever the group wants to get together, they just text everybody when, and what time they want to get together. They have now wanted to combine Mobile, and Pensecola, which is in the Florida area which is an hour away. Hopefully they will meet around here soon.

Since living here I have tried fried okrah and hushpuppies which are sooooooo delicious! I have tried cheese grits, of which I hate, because I really don't like cheese, but I have yet to try black eyed peas, gumbo, and Chic-fil-A.

There are 3 main things here that people consider to be important, and 2 could be a religion. 1) church (mainly baptist), 2) Bar-ba-que, and 3) football. Possibly in that order.

Also, Mardi Gras started here in Mobil. There is a museum about Mobil, and if you have ever seen Bizzare Foods on the travel channel, one of the images is of a white house that looks like 2 party clowns. I really don't live far from that; probably about 15 minutes away.

Thats all I can think of for now! I'll write more next week.

Love Paige
