Pick you favorite name!

Okay, there is a poll to the right of names Melissa and I have chosen, Please pick your favorite, when the poll closes we will let you know, no guarantees we will pick that name, we just want to see what everyone thinks!

Good Morning!

Okay, so i am sitting here early in the morning contemplating life and "Pacman" and reflecting back to almost a year ago, actually first part of October and recalled landing on my face and twitching on the ground, i don't actually remember this of course, but i sure remember the way i looked when it was over. Most out there have probably not seen the picture, it was included in the Christmas video card that we made last year, but due to some computer problems most people didn't get to see it, so here the picture is. It was real fun, you'll notice i hit my nose pretty hard, i had scratches on my face and a pretty good rug burn, and a chipped tooth. This was the first seizure i have had in about 5 years. Hopefully the last. my coworker who saw it happened, said she couldn't eat for days, it scarred her so much. I'm glad i can have that kind of affect on people!

We are planning on going to the state fair today, we have about enough money to get into the place and have something to eat. Financially we are a far cry from where we where last year, the mortgage payment is killing us, although if we could get rid of Melissa's school bill it would help tremendously, it just won't go away. We should have fun today though, everyone will be there except Brian and my Dad.

The saga with my parents seems never ending, but this too shall pass, If you don't know what i am talking about, then you probably shouldn't know, so no offence but don't ask!

So back again to the baby, what are we going to name the kid, who knows, no decision has been made, we throw out names all the time, but we get mostly frustrated (i say we but i really mean she, don't tell her that!) we just can't agree on anything If only this was a girl!

And so in the Immortal words of ABBA (and no i don't mean Give me, Give me, Give me a man after midnight!) "Don't know how to take it, don't know where to go, my resistance running low, and everyday the hold is getting tighter and it troubles me so, you know that i am nobodies fool, and yet it's clear to me, i don't have a strategy, it's just like taking candy from a baby and i think i must be Under Attack, I'm being taken, about to crack, defenses breaking, won't somebody please have a heart, come and rescue me now cause i am falling apart."

Some of that's true for me, some not, you decide! (i wish i could write something so profound!)

Camping

We went camping Saturday morning, we had fun, but had to come home early, we knew it was supposed to storm Sunday night, however when we woke up Sunday morning in a downpour, we knew it was time to come home. Good thing too, we had someone come through our camp aria, and told us that there where 2 storm fronts that where going to colide together over where we where camping, we would have been camping in the snow and as bad as the roads where in dry conditions, we probably wouldn't have gotten out. We would have lasted a few days, but then we would have had to decide who to eat first! We joked about it some, through out a few names, but never could commit to who would be the first one, sad fact is, i am probably the biggest, so i would have probably been the first to go. morbid thought though. melissa probably wouldn't have minded, she could collect on the insurance, pay off the house, and provided she didn't quit her work, she probably would have been set for the rest of here life.

Can you imagine what the Donner-Reed Party had to go through to reach that point? YUCK

Well anyways, we got home and had to pull out all the tents to dry them off, and concidered camping another night in my mothers backyard, it didn't happen, another storm came through. we where rushing to get the tents taken down just so they wouldn't get blown away.

We must have been tired from all of this, here it is about 8:30 am and i am the only one up, and i was even up a hour later then normal, Think goodness it is a holiday, i would never have made it to work today!

I can't sleep!

It's about 5:50 am, I can't sleep and my stomach hurts, oh well, i would probably be up in a hour, whether or not i wanted to be. I have the day off, so i can take a nap later anyways. Melissa didn't take the day off, and we have a baby sitter that expects payment whether she watches our kids or not, so i am home alone today, fine with me, i am getting burned out with work, and any excuse to not have to be there i will take.

We'll we are still unsuccessful in finding a name for the baby, we still have a few votes for SCULLY, but Melissa still isn't on board yet. As far as another name, we can't seem to settle on anything else. We have tried family names, which we have done with the other 3, but nothing seems to work for us. Like i said we are open for suggestions.

We celebrated out 10th anniversary last Thursday, nothing spectacular, we went up to park city and had lunch at the Baja Cantina, we spent a couple of nights in Park City on our honeymoon, and the Baja Cantina was one of the places we ate at. then we came back down to the valley and wen and saw the new mummy movie, it was pretty good. We then came home and watched movies with our kids, sounds fund doesn't it!

Our baby's name

Okay I get it, i have been seriously outvoted with the name Scully, this doesn't necessarily mean i have changed my mind, but we are now going to have to back to the drawing board. Do you have any idea how hard it is for us to come up with a boy's name? we spent hours and hours trying to come up with J.D.'s name, and now we are back at it again, if only this had been a girl, we already had the name picked out. Not that we aren't happy with a boy, we are happy that the baby is healthy, in fact the person who did the ultrasound said that it was textbook, meaning nothing was wrong. Anyways we are open for suggestions, let us know!

The name Scully

Okay, i have met some resistance to the name Scully! Yes i like the name because it is the name of a character from my favorite T.V. show "The X-Files", but if you think it's a girls name, you are sadly mistaken. we checked it out, it is a boys name. we did some research on the meaning and origins of different names and this is what we came up with

Ethan is a boys name, it's Hebrew and means "Strong"
Scully is a BOYS name, it's Gaelic and means "Town Crier"
Wyatt is a boys name, it's English and means "Guide"

We have also toyed with other first names too, Benjamin and Samuel has been discussed. Any other boys names you like let us know.

We think we have decided on the name Ethan Scully Wyatt, Melissa is struggling with Scully but i will bring her around!
