Crib Survey

I need everybody to respond to this blog. As some of you may know I am making the Crib for our baby. In settling the final plans and look, Rene' and I have come to a disagreement. So we want the opinion of other people.
On some cribs the side will slide up and down. We are wondering how often this is used. Is this a feature that you love about cribs or something that you really don't care a lot about. We don't know and so if you would leave a comment and tell us how often you use this feature we would appreciate it.

Part 9 (Last part of the year)

For the last event of the year Rene' and I found out that we are pregnant. We had been trying to have a baby for several months and in December we were successful. We will find out what it is on May 5th.

Part 8 (New Couchs)

We decided to buy new couchs in November because we knew I would be quiting bassett and so we thought we would buy them while we could still get a great price.

Part 7 (Associates Degree)

For the last 4 years I have been fighting Snow College over a fine of $11.00. I had paid the fine 3 times and they kept charging me. I have had the credits to graduate for 2 or three years I don't remember how long but I was tired of paying it. Well I finally broke down and paid it again just so I could get my degree. I have it now and I will not pay again.

Part 6 (Down side of the year)

Somewhere in during these last few events I did have a couple things go wrong. While working at Bassett furniture I was delivering a 370 lb Armoire to a customer. Well things did not go to plan. I was unable to get a handle on it and it fell on my pinky finger. It smashed my finger badly enough that it split it 3 ways. I had to get a lot of stitches (I don't remember the exact number it was 8 or 12) and I lost feeling in the top digit of my finger. None of the pictures turned out but I did record a video of my finger to show how bad it was unfortunately I am having problems putting it on the computer at the moment. Even though my finger as healed I still have a huge scar (For a pinky finger that is) and I still do not have full feeling in my finger.

I also found out that I am lactose intolerant. Which for anybody who knows me is really funny because milk was all that I ever drank. I am now reduced to 1 glass of milk a week preceded by a couple of pills to reduce the effect it will have on me. This has been extremely hard and I admit I will think about what I have to do the next day and if I don't have anything important I will overdose on milk and just not move the next day.

The only good thing about being lactose intolerant is that if Rene' doesn't think I have enough sympathy for her morning sickness then she can always slip milk in my food and then we can be sick together.

Part 5B (California (Disneyland))

Here is some of the pictures of our trip to Disneyland. It was decorated for Halloween hence the masked mickey made out of pumpkins.
Rene' and I really worked the system at Disneyland because we were able to go on a lot of rides I don't remember the exact number but it was in the high 20's low 30's in one day. And that was with us going really slow the last half of the day and with us watching several of the shows. One of our favorite parts though was going on Thunder mountain. In the first hour of being in Disneyland we went on space mountain and then on Thunder mountain 5 times.
Nothing like seeing a picture of a fat man in a little car.
Rene' and I had a lot of fun we were very glad we went when we did because it will be a long time before we will be able to go with just to two of us again. We are looking forward to taking our kids and experiencing it with them.

Part 5A (California (Midevil times))

Sometime in September Rene' called me and asked if I wanted to goto Disneyland. We had been talking about going in December but we were also trying to get pregnant. We realized that if she got pregnant before we went it would not much fun because she would be unable to go on any rides. So we did an impulse decision based on a thought out idea. So we bought the tickets (Through the gracious help from Rene's parents we were able to get them cheap) we also bought some tickets for Midevil times. I must say I had a blast we loved it.
For those of you who don't know what midevil times is. it is exactly what the pictures look like. You are assigned a color and a place to sit you then get to cheer for your knight. They will do an entire tournament for your entertainment. Dinner is a old fashioned dinner with which you have to eat with your hands. It was a lot of fun and we will probably go back everytime we go to Disney land.

Part 4 (Rebecca Diane Barlow's Marriage to Ryan Something Allen)

Sorry Ryan I didn't know your middle name. Anyway it was nice to see the wedding of these two and I must say Becky did chose great. Ryan fit's well into the family.These two are a perfect match. They both where glasses they have the same waste line. What more could you want.
