So sweet

These are some pics I took of Reagan for her 2nd birthday (which is a Strawberry Shortcake theme). We had a great Thanksgiving, but it was busy, as usual. I am really looking foward to getting both studios fully staffed so I can work less. I am getting tired in my old age!

Love you all and miss you bunches

Ho Ho Ho

Hello and Happy Holidays!!! I just love the Christmas spirit and it's in full swing at work every morning. They have Christmas songs blaring and I love it. I especially love the old grumpy guys who have been at this for 25 years and HATE IT!!! Ha ha. So everything here is chill. My family had a great Thanksgiving Day at Brian and Laura's house. We had 3 turkeys(I mean really people) and all the fixins. It was a very nice day all in all.

Elena is sick, yet again. I feel like every time I write in this blogger she is not feeling well. I have managed to escape catching whatever it is she has so far. So I had to venture out solo Friday morning in the Black Friday madness to get us a new tv for our bedroom. I gave our old one to Michelle since hers broke and got us a great deal on a beauty. Perfect timing since Elena is not feeling well. I've pretty much locked her in there except to eat(turkey leftovers, day and night).

So besides that just working and working. My family has all booked their flights home for Christmas and Elena is leaving again too. She goes home at night on the 22nd and home at night on the 26th. So she'll have 1 day with my family all here I think. Good enough for her probably. Sunday dinners are about all we can handle with the kids going crazy. Sunday dinner is very good practice for those of us maybe wanting children. Those kids are non-stop madness, but the good outweighs the bad I suppose. Especially if they're your own.

Anyway, hope you all have a great Sunday. K.I.T. TTFN

Happy Thanksgiving Buds!

And NOW..for a QUICK run down...

OK - now that all of the fun pictures have been posted - I figured I would toss in a quick little play by play in the Bunn hacienda...

Right before Jeremiah showed up to help us out with Da Bus - TourCorp - laid me off...big BUMMER but rather serendipitous since it freed me up to work on the bus...

In the mean time, I got a job selling website optimization for a company called Server Side Design...YAY - another work from home position for a company based in Houston...that was LUCKY!!!

Well, that leaves WB jobless - so he has been unsuccessfully trying to career shift into the IT field - well, unsuccessfully, until Friday - when his dad offered him a job trying to help him develop a website for his brain child. He wants to build a virtual shopping mall.

The concept is that you will save 10-20% on all of your purchases if you shop THROUGH his shopping mall (it all has to do with affiliate marketing). Actually, you don't exactly SAVE the money - but you get that amount back in the form of shopping dollars that you can use to shop more, contribute to your favorite charity or cash out. Whatsmore is that if you convince your friends to sign up - you get a percentage back on everything THEY buy, too. It's not a BAD idea - but I'm a little skeptical.

Anyway, amongst all of that our sweet little boy got to attend his FIRST ever roller derby - that was a HOOT. And he FINALLY got his first tooth!!!

So, it's been a WHIRLWIND, here!!

We'd like to wish EVERYONE a super happy, YUMMY holiday!!! We're going to Atlanta so that I can run a half marathon! I'm STOKED! I ran 12 miles yesterday (so I know I'll be able to the finish the half - but boy is my body SORE!

Love to all - sorry for the lengthy delay between postings!

Da Bus

At the end of October - on Halloween, as a matter of fact, our friend Jeremiah came out to help us get going on the bus. I just wanted to share some of the pics with you. She still needs quite a bit of work - but we made A TON of progress during his visit!!! Check it out:


Isn't she a Bute!!!

This is a picture of the "Before" - but technically it took ALOT of work to get it to this point - those seats were a nightmare to rip out - we had to sand down the bolts - SHEESH...

So that makes this the "After" - but again there is obviously ALOT more to still be done - IE - where do the pretty people sit?

This is a view from the Back of the bus - while the seats are still out!

Here is what one half of the booths will look like - WB's mom helped us recover all of the seats - we couldn't have done it without her!

And here is what the table tops will look like - we're going to cover them with some sort of FANCY table cloth!!!

Just another view...

There's still ALOT of work to be done - but I figured you needed an update! We'll keep you posted. I'm still working on all of the permits and licensing - it sounds like our insurance ALONE is going to run about $850/mo - is that NUTTY?!!!

The Beach

Whew - OK - so I'm going to have to time travel a little bit here, since I'm so behind on my postings - bear with me - and come along for the RIDE!!!

It's early October and the Bunn family hit the beach - my parents - WB's parents - his sisters & my Grandma! It was WILD!!!

The main reason for this post, though is to FEATURE the BEAUTIFUL beach side home we stayed at - it WAS AWESOME - 8 Bed Rooms - 8.5 Baths - 2 Kitchens - a Home Theatre - a swimming pool - a jacuzzi - a pool table AND a foosball table!!! Check it out (click here) - A Sandy Ridge in Emerald Isle, NC!!!

This could be our next Stetson Family Vacation spot - LOTS of space to spread out! Everybody gets a BED!!!

FYI - the tub pic - is Loki & his mermaid cousin Aleaa in ONE of the indoor bathtub jacuzzis in the house - there are TWO indoor bathtub ones & one outdoor one beside the pool!! We were spoiled!!!

Ultrasound Appointment

As I texted all of you--I am cystless!! YEAH! I am really excited.

I had my ultrasound on Saturday at Doctors' Hospital. My OB/GYN's office is attached to the hospital and I had my surgery there. It is on UM's campus and they are nothing but professional and friendly. We have come here for Sean's ankle and they were great! If I ever have a baby, I will have it here!

Anyway. I had the same ultrasound technician from last August. He remembered me! We got started and he turned the screen to show me. He was very nice about pointing out what was what on the screen. Very cool. I kept pestering him about my left ovary--is there a cyst? Is there? IS THERE? He said he didn't see one. I had brought my report from the radiologist and he reviewed it. He said, nope, no cyst--at least not one that big (it was 4cm x 4cm x 4cm). I was so excited I almost hugged him. I actually thought about it!

I am pretty sure this means that I won't need another surgery. I was really worried about that. I was so relieved that I took a huge nap on Saturday after I got home. I actually slept because I wasn't worried--novel concept, I know! The next step is to get Sean tested again and pray for better results. I go back to my Dr. Dec 3rd. If Sean's results are better I expect to get fertility drugs. If his results are bad--I don't know what to expect. So there is the potential for bad news. I am trying to stay positive.

Did I tell you that I have started acupuncture to regulate my cycle? I have had two appointments so far. It is pretty relaxing and cool. I got some interesting herbs too. I am scheduled for 12 appointments and my guy is optimistic that this well help.

TMI? I hope not!

Changing the subject, Sean actually got a vacation day approved (praise the Lord) and we are going to Charleston for Thanksgiving. We are leaving Wednesday and coming back Sunday. We are both pretty excited. We will get to see Elizabeth and Grandmother. It will be so great to see them. Plus Sean said we can find a good wing place for the UF vs. FSU game. Nothing like yelling at the TV in public!
