Update

Several new changes in our lives to update you all on...

Ben and I are now staying with his parents, who are absolutely fabuloso! We are so lucky to have such awesome in-laws on both sides. My parents have shared their home with us now for over 3 years - amazing - I know, a bit scary that we've had to stay there that long. Wow - it sounds even scarrier writing it. Now that we are staying with Ben's parents, we are also actively searching for a home of our own as well. As the market continues to drop, we are in the perfect time to buy. All we need is that perfect home for us to set our hearts on. We'll see what comes about over the next few weeks. Right now, this time allows us to get our bills paid down, and get a little more financially stable. It's an amazing feeling to say those words - FINANCIALLY STABLE.

Medicare for the store... let's see - we are calling them every day, sometimes twice a day to bug the hell out of them, until they get tired of hearing from us. We have done EVERYTHING they have asked and more to get this stupid number, and NOW IT'S THEIR TURN. Ben is so funny when he is on the phone with these people. It is just about impossible to speak with the same person every time, (even if you ask to speak with one person) it's basically the person who picks up the phone is who you speak with that day. So, now, we are keeping track of each person we speak with so if we get different answers from each person, we'll just say "well, Norma said that it was..." so we can play them against eachother. Is that too mean??.. Nah. It's actually quite amuzing when they stutter if we call them on something. Maybe, this way, we'll actually get somewhere. Wishful thinking, I know. What's sad is that our patients know the government system all too well, and completely understand what we're going throug to get this.

I absolutely love our store - it's so pretty! I can't wait until we are fully functional with Medicare, so we can go out and start advertising that we are here!
We have so many plans that are on hold for right now. I know it will come, I just can't wait!

That's about all for now, until next time...
