Mrs. Allie Gentry

I have decided that even though I used to like cars I now HATE cars. Oh don't get me wrong I still appreciate them. I am grateful to be able to drive places, I like to go fast too. But since January we have had, let me think, 5 cars. And we now have one. They take up a lot of Bobby's spare time too because in order for our car of the moment to run he has to work on it alot to make sure it stays running. And then as soon as it gets running he would like to sell it! Sometimes it is necessary and other times he just gets tired of that particular car. I don't mind him having a hobby... I just wish it was one that was less expensive and time consuming. Blah. But on the upside he is getting amazing at fixing them up. This is good cause experience will help him get a job and help him know for sure that he would like a career in cars. Oh one neat thing that I hope will be a good thing is that Bobby is gonna get his CDL. His new boss is gonna pay for the test and he is gonna be studying his brain out starting tomorrow. I hope that he can get it done and not be too distracted.

Other than cars... I haven't been feeling that great since sunday. I wake up feeling like my stomach and back were beat a few times during the night. It wears off but will reveal itself at times. Plus I feel a little crampy... that I'm not sure if it is pms or something else? I hardly ever have cramps. I was reading online and I'm thinking it might be a mild case of endometriosis? Nothing too serious.

Brandon has been talking so much!! He says gucky for yucky, and he says tickle tickle and then actually tries to tickle you! And thinks is hilarious when you laugh for him and he keeps doing it until you distract him with something else lol. He was loving a laundry basket the other day and I have a picture but I haven't put it on the computer yet and I'm thinking I'm too lazy to do it right now ;)

I have a job interview for a pt receptionist position that I really hope I can get!! We really need some extra money right now!

So I went to my sister-in-laws blog, but I wasn't expecting a blog... And it was really fun to read it and to get to know her and what is going on in her life a little more! So, now I decided that I would post in my own blog.
Okay so the past week has been a good week! Bobby found a new job installing devices in cars for a repo company, and he has been feeling better about himself :) and so me and Brandon are getting good repurcussions from that. Patrick and Joshua participated in the Utah Summer Games that take place in Cedar City every summer and Brandon & I went up to spend time with the family and to watch them race. We stayed in a 7 bedroom 4 bathroom house and it was pretty awesome! Everyone got their own room and bed for only $100 a night! That was a good deal. So we got to hang out and have alot of fun playing and helping each other. Brandon was having a little too much fun trying to figure out how to play nice with his little cousin Olivia lol. He would be soft for a minute and then push her away for some reason. He always felt bad when he was scolded for not being soft. He is still learning that concept of hard and soft. Josh and Patrick did great in their races and me and Susie had fun toting the kids around to watch the races. After the race Andrew took all of us to the Pizza factory which was really yummy but I got a headache shortly after :( Then Bobby arrived to take us home. But for some reason I was really tired so Brandon and me took a nap on the way home. When we got home the house was a mess and I was quite cranky for the rest of the day. Ha I'm just like my mom!!! The next day, or yesterday was Father's Day and it was a wonderful day!! Bobby got to sleep in, Brandon and I gave him the cards we had made and bought, had good food and just relaxed together all day! Plus Brandon and I went to church.

So, the past 2 weeks have been so hectic, stressful, and crazy! Bobby was trying to sell our nice integra, which he eventually successfully sold to a guy in Vegas. But only after making quite a few unsuccessful trips. Waste of gas & time. Then we had to move into a new place, which I like, but I ended up packing almost everything so that was kinda stressful. Then we had to move and then unpack, and I have almost completely unpacked all my stuff! Which I haven't done in over 6 months! So that actually feels really good to have all my stuff available once again. We have another new car. It's a white honda civic that came without a bumper, fenders, and came with, a busted in door. So its been taking some work to fix up... which is right up Bobby's aisle and he quite enjoys working on it. So Brandon is kinda sick, he has an ear infection, and has a bit of a cold, runny, stuffy nose, and now he has a little cough. Anyways, thats life. So now I want to go to Dental Assistant school, but I am a little short on cash cause of all the stuff going on. Anyways, thats all I got for now.

So, its been a very very very long time since I wrote on here!! lol So lots has been going on, Brandon is one years old now, and he is walking!! I am living in St. George with Bobby and working as a cashier at Wal-Mart, which I am grateful that I have a job, but I don't particularly like this job! I have lots of pics of me and Brandon, some are of Brandon at the water park, some are on a walk to the temple, and in those pics I have a new hair job going on that I really like :)

Okay so Thanksgiving week! Wow what an incredibly exciting yet hard week! So Brandon got slightly sick the weekend before thanksgiving, and then he started teething. So he had a stuffy/runny nose and a slight fever from the teething (at least I think that's where the fever came in) So the wednesday before Thanksgiving Brandon & I went to St. George to visit Bobby and to help him celebrate Thanksgiving since he was gonna be alone on the actual day. We had lunch at IHOP, with Brandon snacking a little but not eating much, and then we ended up staying the night there in good ol' st. g cause Brandon got tired and fell asleep really early! So we got take-out from The Pizza Factory, which was yummy, and then we talked for a long time. Until we heard Brandon being sad. He had a really rough night. He woke up at about 11 and had a fever over 101 and he wouldn't relax and he was shaking a little bit and it really really scared me! So I prayed and gave him a bottle and he immediately cooled off and settled down and slept for the rest of the night. That was what I was grateful all Thanksgiving day! But so Brandon didn't much enjoy his first Thanksgiving. He took a nap all through Thanksgiving dinner, and was asleep by the time we had pie! So he didn't even really taste it until a few days later when he was actually eating food again instead of just snacking on cereal until he couldn't stand the pain anymore. I had a good Thanksgiving though, yummy food, I made the stuffing and everyone liked it lots, and yummy dessert :) (the above picture was taken on Thanksgiving morning before heading to Moapa for the dinner)

so, today has been a slightly rough day... but that's okay. I'm 23 now, it was a fine birthday... For Halloween I was a jogger and Brandon was a Scarecrow! He was way cuter than I was for sure! I lost my babysitter and can't find another one that I can afford so I haven't been to work for a week. And since Patrick & Susie are going to be having their baby in a month I gotta move in a months time, and since I don't have a babysitter and I am not working full time, (thus, not being able to afford a place of my own) and also Bobby is moving to Salt Lake and we are trying to make things work, and so since I will have a babysitter(thanks Corrie!) there and the job market is up there in SLC I am planning on moving to SLC by the end of November. So thats what is going on for me at the moment... Hope everyone had a good halloween!

So it's been a stresser of a week but everything is alright now and I'm not quite so worried. Everything is going to be okay. Brandon's teeth aren't bothering him anymore so that is a great stress reliever for me! Brandon is getting very adept at crawling and he can pull himself up on furniture now. I'm thinking he is going to be cruising pretty quickly here, he waited so long to crawl and almost skipped to walking but now he is just mastering everything really quickly. He loves to eat!! He is such a big boy!! Oh my goodness! I love that little boy to pieces!!
Work is going okay, now that I've finished training I've got a raise but because of the raise they don't want me to work alot because they aren't making any money yet. They still let me work and they have me do odd jobs and stuff, like yesterday I put green fence wind break stuff onto the fence all around the perimeter of the challenge course, and tomorrow I get to cold call to see if I can get some people to come and try out the course for birthday parties... So ya. It's an interesting job for sure!!
