being responsible isn't fun. instead of using our 8,000 dollars to spoil ourselves, we are being smart. we put new tires on both our cars, paid off our furnace, bought a new storm door, bought a new kitchen sink, bought a dishwasher, bought a new mailbox, address numbers, porch light, ect. sounds fun right? not really. i want an e reader, new clothes to fit my thinner frame, my nails done, hair did, ect. but doing all those things for me wouldn't really help things around our house and it wouldn't help relieve stess. i know we are doing what we should be doing. we are being smart. HOWEVER, we did decide to head out west and go gamble in wendover. we had a free room and buffet otherwise we probably wouldn't of. we decided that we could each gamble with 200 and plan on losing all of it. we just wanted to get away for a night. we both felt like we had to do something for us. we have accomplished all of our goals. we deserved it. soooo.... we get to wendover, check in, eat, we gambled a little and i won 400. from that point on it was "well whatever happens, we will break even." then we started drinking. well i haven't had anything bad for me in my body in like a month and a half so my poor body was not happy with me. vodka was never on my diet plan. needless to say i got entirely too drunk and dusty had to take me back to our room so i could pass out. i woke up at 7:30 am. i sat up in bed and noticed the other side of the bed was still made. my first thought was that dusty drank too much and was passed out in the bathroom. i went to see, no dusty. so then i started thinking, "ok he went back down and got in trouble." i had no missed calls and i know he or the hotel would of contacted me if anything happend. so by this point i start to think that 1 of 2 things happend. either he lost all of our money and he is afraid to face me, or he is winning and won't leave the slots. i called. and i called. and i called. finally i get an answer. "where in gods name are you? it is 7:30 in the morning! you better be winning to be gone all damn night!!!" he says, "oh don't worry babe. we are going home with at 2,200 dollars." "WHAT???"
so i guess after dusty went down after poor me went to bed he won 1,300 on a penny machine. after that he just kept winning. and winning. and winning. we came home with 2,200. we spent 400 so we won 1,800!!! it feels so good! we paid all of our bills for july, our car insurance til january, and we have more money to put into the yard, house, cars, corbin, everything. the best part was after we deposited the money. we had just gotten our 8,000 so we had almost 10,000 in our account. crazy. i always tell dusty that we deserve a break. something to take some weight off of us. it happened. we are being really smart about it and things are looking pretty great right now. we are going back to wendover for my birthday in august. i am sure we won't strike oil twice but who knows?
now we just need a handy man to come and install our sink and dishwasher. we pay in beer so if you know anyone send them my way.
on a side note... lego harry potter comes out in 4 days! i am going to take that opportunity to get something for me and i am buying it! i have been waiting 2 years so it has been a long time coming. we did buy dusty a new hockey stick and an x-box game he has been wanting. he deserved it. he works alot to make sure we keep this well oiled machine running. i try to do everything i can to help out. i work quite a bit and i always try to make sure the house is clean, dishes and landry are done, and everything is good at the house. i like contributing. i hate that dusty never gets to see corbin. i hate that dusty has to work more than me. i wish we could work the same but with corbin that just isn't possible. i still work every chance i get that he is off. sometimes 6 days a week. still i feel like he does so much more than me. i love him so much. i don't know what i would do without my dusty and my corbin. i don't know how i lived before i had them in my life.
to sum it up so this doesn't turn into one of my epic blog updates; life is good. things are finally looking up for this little family.
