Our week...last week

Well, last week was busy... eventful... stressful... and some of it was just bullshit!

We went and toured HGA... Stacy and I thought it was FANTASTIC!  Of course we had 2 days of negativity and crap from Courtney.  But, at this point she is willing to go.  We are also trying to get her in to start in the April session.  We had originally were hoping for her to start in January... but after I called and spoke to admissions... there is just no way we can get everything in order by the cut off date.  So... our new target date is April. 
It was a stressful few days dealing with that stuff.  Courtney was making EVERYONE miserable!!

Once we got that all sorted out we were hit with a surprise visit from Dog Law AND a  Humane Society officer... WITH 3 (THREE) trucks full of crates to take animals out of our house!!!!  Oh yes... some MORON called and reported us for living in unsanitary conditions... having chickens, ducks and OTHER LIVESTOCK living in our house WITH us!!!!!!!!   For goodness sake.
Both gentlemen were in shock to walk into our clean home and see I have ALL of our vet paperwork and other dog paperwork in order!!   They seriously said they were told and were expecting to see a house FULL of animals and grossness, according to what they were told on the phone by the person (IDIOT) that reported us!!
Just another case of someone being way too occupied with our lives and causing us issues!  People need better hobbies!!  It turned out to be a nice visit with these guys.  But really not something I had the time for... we were already a bit behind in school work... and I HATE feeling behind in school work!

Friday night was another training session for Gunner.  Stacy went along and worked Gunner... good thing, I was still fuming about the days "surprise"!! 
Training went really well.  Gunner is getting use to working with Tim and Carol... and he was very accepting to hugs from Tim.  It is a really nice feeling now... not being so worried about what Gunner will do, every time I take him out in public.  Now to figure out what direction we want to take Gunner's training in.  I really want to do "something" with him... that was the whole point of getting him!

Saturday Nathan turned 11!!  Holy Cow... time sure is flying by quick!!!  My baby is 11 :-(
Stacy and Brittany went hunting with my grandfather in the morning.  We picked up our beef later in the morning.  The kids had their art lessons in the after noon... THEN, after all of that... Nathan's BDay celebration began!!
We went to Cracker Barrel for dinner... Grammy and Pappy joined us.  It was Pappy's BDay too!! 
After our yummy meal... we took on a corn maze at night... with flashlights!!!  NOT EASY!!!! But way fun!!!  I really laughed way too much.  OMGoodness!!!!  I think it was even frustrating Pappy!  But we had soooo much fun. 
Once we found our way out of the BIG part of the maze... we tried the little maze.   It was definitely easier... but still a challenge.  The night ended with some peddle cart racing and playing on the farm/playground equipment! 

Yesterday we got serious about the pending storm.  We had one gas can that needed filled... and I wanted to have my car tank filled too.  The truck got moved away from the woods... no falling tree will get my truck!!  Stacy went up and checked out the trees around the garage.  There was one we were worried about falling... so he made sure if it does come down... it wont be toward our garage. 
We also stopped and picked up a RX we had dropped off last week for Nathan. 
We also took in the sights of the frenzy!!!  Gas stations were out of gas... no bottled water to be found... ANYWHERE.  No flashlights or batteries either.  It was just pure craziness!!!

Schools are all canceled today and tomorrow.  And here we sit.... waiting.  I got some crocheting done.  I have a few more little projects I would like to finish up.  Then, I have no idea what the hell I will be doing!!  LOL!!! 
I am a little on edge, since Stacy is at work... and we just arent sure how bad we will really get hit with this storm.  But, I know I can handle whatever the weather throws our way.
The dogs are all pacing/patrolling the house.  They arent very happy.  Nathan is worrying his little heart out.  UGH!  Waiting is the worst.

Ok... well there is our update.
