So since my husband was out of town last night, I felt like a trip to Walmart was necessary! I love going to Walmart to just walk around, watch the people, and check out the housewares. Last night, as I casually strolled alone some isles, I found one isle that had a lone Walmart employee pretending to work. I approched quietly, apparently too quietly because at the same time I walked behind the woman she farted as she bent over. I giggled as I walked behind her, and I quickly scooted off that isle and on to the next.
God bless Walmart and their flatulating employees!

New job, kids, and all
About a week and a half ago I started a new job. The old job got, well, old! I was offered more $$, and I was out! Thus far I love the new job. It is a small office, and everyone kind of keeps to themselves, and it is blissful!
The kids are doing well! Their mom and I have become "friends." I use the term loosely due to her mental condition--she is my friend one day and hates me more than life the next. She told me my face was stupid the other night-I can't figure out of it's a translation error or her being rude. I just let it slide because she is nuts! I am trying to be kind and nice..which you all know is sometimes a bit hard for me! But I really am trying for the sake of those beautiful little boys! We weren't able to take them last weekend, and their mom told me Pablo (the little one) walked around all weekend long saying "Mama no?" So he was sad we didn't get to see them, and we were of course sad too! We are going to meet with a mediator tomorrow and hopefully get court orders. Juan and the kids mom have agreed not to talk to eachother ever again because they are too angry at eachother and say stupid things. So I have agreed to be the go between to cut the stupidness. I'll keep you all posted on the custody situation!
Juan succesfully ate a hamburger as large as his head last night. He had to go to Rexburg, ID for work, and called to tell me he had completed this task and was rewarded with his picture taken and put on the wall. SICK I KNOW! He told me he felt so sick he could hardly walk, but he had accomplished it! I wasn't as impressed as he thought I would be.
Things, all in all, are pretty great! We are moving to Riverton on the 15th, and are excited!
For now...that's all!

Juan is Home!!
So for those of you who didn't know, my cute husband went to Mexico last Thursday to visit his family. His Grandparents are getting really old, and are in poor health, and he wanted to be able to see them before they passed on. So..he went for a quick 4 day trip! He spent time with his cousins, and his grandparents, and met lots of family he didn't know he had. His little brother and cousin who live here, are there right now also getting work Visas. So they were able to have some guy time! He brought back 2 videos of his trip, and it was definitley eye opening. I take for granted everyday the amenities I have to make life comfortable. As I sit here on my computer, and hear my washer and dryer humming, and my TV blaring.. I am spoiled! We are going to try and get some things in order to send a bunch of items to Juan's Mexico family. I was talking to my sister last night about what they needed, and she put it perfectley--"They need Walmart Items!" Juan had such a hard time leaving his Mexico family. It was hard for him to realize he used to live in the same conditions, and now, compared to them, has a really lavish life style. We are so blessed to have what we do, and are greatful every day for what we have.
**I am blog retarded, and don't know how to label my pictures..the first one is Juan's grandma, then Juan's Dad's parents, a picuture of Juan's Dad when he was a soldier, and then Juan and his cousins. **

Our new apartment
Juan and I put down a deposit on a new apartment yesterday. We have been trying to buy a house, but things just aren't working out quite yet. And we are so tired of driving from Ogden everyday we could barf! So..last weekend we set out on a hunt for a new apt. for the summer.
I told juan the conditions to us getting an apartment were:
1. Not in Mexiville
2. Had to have washer/dryer or at least hook-ups so he could buy me a set
3. Had to have a pool so I can swim with the kids
4. Needs to have a fitness center so we don’t get fat
5. I have to feel safe being home alone
So, we finally found an apartment in Riverton. It's big enough for all of us, and in a nice area.
So yesterday Juan asked if all the conditions are met with the new apt. I said yes, I think we’re good!
