This is going to a quick overview of what has been going on in the past couple months. I am sure wifey will start to post now too.
Trip: It was great. I realised that I really hadn't stopped working aside from about 5 or 6 days, including weekends. It was good to see all that came out to the dinner that Amber had for me. Sorry for the zombiesh behaviour, I was out of it. It took me another three days before I was somewhat human again.
Amber was great, although she wasn't showing, really... which irritated me, so I pumped her full of food, until she was. This slightly backfired, as I also gained about 10 pounds.
The second I got back, my so called star employee was found to "allegedly" be taking kickbacks. He was removed, and it was not fun. It also appeared that he was trying to creator my organisation by screwing up lots and lots of orders and relationships. To this day, I am still cleaning up his mess. Poor Amber came out right in the middle of all this and has had to deal with me having to work extra hard to stay afloat.
Pups made it out about 2 days before Amber. They looked jet lagged, all dishevelled, and dirty. The quarantine itself wasn't bad at all. They had a nice room, that basically had a patio. It was small but so are they. There were also fairly large dog runs for them to walk around in. Although they had a shelf life of about 5 minutes before the humidity and heat got to them and they look like lttle furry smears. We thought Zen would be the bad one but it was Lola that was the one who didn't take it so well.
Amber got here and cratered as well. She had been going so hard for weeks before she left, that once she stopped her body freaked out. The exhaustion, the jet lag and the pregnancy got to her and all hit her at once. She got sick in about half a day and stayed that way for about two weeks. The first week, we were staying my boss's apartment, because I was living like the unibomber... just not in the woods, with running water, and I didn't have any ill intent towards anyone. It was just me an air mattress, two plates, two bowels (although one was sequestered for duty as a change bowl), out door furniture used as living room furniture and a borrowed TV.
After our shipment was delayed for the third time, we stole one of my boss's spare beds. We were tired of waking up in a heap of bodies in the middle of the concave air mattress... dogs included. The shipment should be here today and in our house next Thursday. Pray for us...
Pictures...
This what we looked like in the quarantine. This became part of the routine... Right before we would leave they both would go to sleep in our laps. And rest assured they are out cold
This is all the luggage that my 5 month pregnant wife came over with. There are 4 there. It cost $400 dollars in excess baggage fees.
Amber is doing well. She is speed dating. She has more dates with woman out her per day than the bachelorette. Only she is not fake marrying anyone. The other half of the equation is generally pregnant woman looking to do the same thing. They test each other out a couple of times then bring the husbands in together to see how we mesh. When in all reality, all we do is eat and drink and compare war stories of being out here. Most of them are good. We are just happy that the girls get along, we are easy.
That is all for now. There will be more posting now. We are starting to get more settled. We have the magicjack set up... number is 713 219 9350
Later all.
