I'm Brandon Flowers and I'm a Mormon

Monday

Man, I don't know what it was today, but I was grumpy all day! I tried ordering some flowers for one of Aaron's clients. Their Dad passed away and he wanted to send some flowers. Well, don't ever try to send flowers to Eatonville! No one will deliver there! One company was going to, but last minute called me up and said they wanted an additional $80!! Um, excuse me, the flowers weren't even that expensive. I said, Why? Oh, because it is valentine's time and our prices go up. Well, I let them have it and told them how ridiculous they were and where they could shove it! Ha ha.  So I called a flower company in Orting and they normally don't deliver flowers to Eatonville but the owner of the shop was heading there this Wednesday. I said, " perfect". I guess that is my luck again. The best part was that is was only $50 total!! Everyone else wanted to charge $15 delivery fee on top of the flower charge. I just about had enough! So, I am glad the Orting company came through for me. What a hassle!
On a different note, I called the social worker in California to ask about Angelina and her status and if Andrea is able to get her back. Well, they basically told me she is still in foster care and Andrea most likely wouldn't get her back. So, Aaron and I have been thinking about it and our hearts go out to this poor little innocent girl. Although, it would have been nice to raise her from birth we didn't get that chance. So, we will be hearing from the social workers to see what happens next . They say it could take up to 2 months to get her. Anyway, such a mess !!! Andrea is out and on her own again as of a few days ago.
Also, Richie brought us back pizza for lunch from Domino's today and it was so good! We sure do have a great bunch of employees now! What a Monday!

Sad news

Got another phone call today from Karyn Vargas. She had just talked to the social worker who is working with Angelina. The social worker is reaching out to "family" to see if anyone wants Angelina. I had to call the lady and tell her that it is truly sad that I tried to get Angelina from birth, flew down there and everything to get her just to be told nope , sorry, I am keeping her. I also told them to contact Anthony Valencia , her real biological father , not Dan Huffman who is listed as her father on the birth certificate. So, because no one would listen to me 5 years ago, this poor little girl is going to grow up in foster care now and have a horrible life. I feel so bad for her. My heart is hurting today for her and Andrea. Andrea is not fit to be a mother and I told them this, but you know what? Too late for that. So, we are trying to see if anyone wants Angelina now? We are reaching out to Aaron's brother, who wants kids, but can't have his own kids and also Joy Gerry. She likes charity cases. So, if you know anyone who wants a 5 year old kid let me know. I certainly am not taking her on. Sad, sad day for sure. Angelina's hearing is tomorrow and will be put in foster care for now.

Driving Miss Ava Lou!

I was driving this morning and look back to see what Ava was doing. She was in Kylee's car seat! She looked like a human sitting there. Ha ha.  I hurried and snapped a picture. She likes to sit there cause she can see out the window better. Ha ha . What a little doll! She is the perfect dog I am telling you!

I ran today!

I got in about a 30 minute run today! Not much to write home about, however it was fun! I am really out of shape. Ha ha!! I didn't have my watch cause it was dead. Anyway, I took an okie picture of myself. Ha ha.  I got a phone call during my run today and was super sad. Karyn Vargas called me, Madison's Mom in California. She said that Andrea is 51-50 lock down in a psych. hospital in orange county.  Angelina got taken away from her of course and is in orange wood foster care. I feel really bad and sad for the both of them. I wish Andrea would make better decisions in life. If she would have given me Angelina 5 years ago, none of this would have happened. Now, that poor girl will be in foster care the rest of her life :(. Andrea also told me she was pregnant again, but with her crazy state of mind, I don't know what to believe. I pray she can get the help she needs. I have never heard her say such crazy things like Osama bin laden's brother was in her house and a man in gray was staring in her window and she asked if I was ever in the army, I said, no, she said good, cause anyone who is or was in the army is gone. Crazy town!!

Signed up for my first race of 2018!-ORTING BUNNY HOP

I needed some motivation to start running again. Signing up for a race should give me that motivation! It is a 10k in Orting on March 24th starting at 9 am. on the trail there by the skate park. Should be an easy 10k. I miss running since I have been helping out in the office everyday.  I also hate running in the rain and colder weather. Ha ha. Anyway, wish me luck! Anyone else want to run it with me. It was cheap to register! You get a t-shirt too!! Ha ha.  Here's an old picture of when we kicked butt Mike! Well, you did, I didn't. :)

Rare find!

My luck was with me once again today.. I went to Rite Aid by Safeway on Main street in Puyallup and decided to go in and check out the habitat store. I hardly go there. I walk in and was looking at the tables etc.. Next thing I know, I see 3 lunch boxes! One was a barbie vinyl!! I knew Dad would want these! So, I got them. Here they are Dad! They are rare ones!

Cutie's!

New Hire

Look who we hired to work at Main Street Realty & Management!! Richie is a fast learner and doing so good! He has been with us one week today and is impressing the whole office staff!

Happy birthday to our sweet baby girl!!

It's Kylee Jane's 6th birthday today!! We are so blessed and lucky to have such a sweet girl in our family! We love her so much and can't imagine life without her. She just lost her first tooth a few days ago and is growing up. I wish they could stay little forever! Love you Kylee Jane and hope you have the best day ever!! I am bringing cupcakes into her classroom this morning!

Happy New Year!!

Today is the first day of 2018!! I can tell it's going to be a great year! We didn't go anywhere today. Kylee actually has a head cold and napped a big portion of the day. I was grateful she didn't have school today! She lost her first tooth last night before midnight! I took a picture but my stupid phone won't allow me to put anymore pictures on my blog. Said I have reached photo limit. I may need to start a new blog. Stay tuned!! Happy New year to y'all!! Stay safe and healthy.
