Well, we took our Land Rover in and got it fixed. We were given a red Land Rover to drive until ours was done. I NEED a red one. I DO!  It would match my red purse, phone and palm pilot. Ok that sounds encredibly snobbish huh? Anyway, the point of telling you this is Warren said having it reminded him of something from our childhoods. I bet if you think about it, you can remember too... I'll give you a minute to think about it....................... remember!? no!?  Red rover red rover send Jasmine right over. =) It was a game we used to play in school at recess or during P.E.  Ok I thought it was cool.
So here's the update on Suzanne and Cricket. She called back last night and basically told Warren who to contact about the job. Said the job was sought after from all over the U.S even world wide. But Warren has an "in" with Suzanne. No one else who has applied was given the name of the contact guy, or his e-mail, except Warren. So, Warren of course e-mailed him and will do that again if he doesn't hear back from him by tonight. So............... it looks like we're moving back to Oregon!! *giddy* It's a ways off, I mean we still have the house to worry about and moving expenses, finding a house/duplex to rent in Oregon for a bit until we can buy another one. But Warren and I discussed it and this bait and switch with his job just isn't worth it anymore. Even his boss Doug is looking elsewhere.  Warren just has to get an interview and the rest will fall in place as it should. It's going to be weird living in Oregon again. I know it's been almost 3 years, and we've been home a lot, but not as residents, and not having family or friends ANYWHERE around us.  But it will be great. An adjustment I think at first. We're used to it just being us and not having anyone to depend on but ourselves. Which isn't a bad thing. But in Oregon we'd have potential for actually going out to a movie or dinner alone. The last time Warren and I went to a movie alone was 2 years ago. Last time we had dinner out alone together, was in March for our anniversary. Does Carrow's count as dinner? haha Our dates consist of renting movies and getting chinese food every saturday.  Which is nice, but going to see an actual movie that is IN a theater would be fun! Or going to the coast????? With or without the kids. We haven't been since I was 2 months pregnant with Ryan. You do the math. We want to take the kids over to the beach and let them see it, appreciate it. Warren and I miss it. Being able to see everyone on a regular basis again would be so great too! The boys could grow up around my parents, like Austin did until he was 3.  In a perfect world, Papa and Nana Wilson (Amy and Brian too)would live in Oregon too.. but it's ok =)  Anyway, I guess we'll see what pans out with the Cricket thing. I will definately keep you posted.
Ryan has a new phrase. He says "Oh man!" He said it earlier today and then again a little while ago. Josh threw up on my arm (no he's not sick, he was just worked up cuz he got his chubby thigh caught in between the rungs on his crib =( ) Anyway, he threw up on my arm and Ryan pointed at it and said "Oh man!"  It's so cute! Course everything my kids do is cute.
I mentioned Austin's 2nd tooth loss. Well his "big person" tooth is coming in. along with the first one. well, the new one coming in, is now pushing a 3rd!! tooth out. Sheesh! This kid is going to have gigantic teeth or a crowded jaw. I need to get him to the dentist so they can keep an eye on it. Poor kid. I know we'll be buying him braces. Hmm I could just get a paper clip and make it into a retainer to help, It worked for me. Bahahahaha  ok so that was for my mom, cuz I know she was thinking about that again.
So anyways, I have to go up and do dishes and then watch Will and Grace.
Until tomorrow!
