We are moving! Ahhh we're sooooo sad! We absolutely LOVE Paso 2nd ward! Brian was the Young Men's president (pretty important right??) and I was the primary music leader (okay, so not as important but still SO fun!) We loved living so near to family and we have such a great group of friends. So where are we moving to? Santa Maria. Bit random? I think so.
Okay, so it all started with a pipe bursting outside our window on Tuesday. The ONLY window that was getting completely drenched was Jackson's, and there was so much water pouring on it that it was leaking through our window and soaking the carpet. The water went about 3 feet out and it was just completely drenched. Ugh. So that was at about 11:00 Tuesday morning, and the idiots that manage our apartments didn't send out anyone till about 10:00 on Wednesday morning! So there was water sinking into the drywall and carpet for about 24 hours. So smart on their part, right? Anyways I had to drag everything out of Jackson's room and scatter it about the kitchen and living room so our house was a complete and total mess, smelling like must so being that our house was completely unlivable and disgusting we tried to keep Jackson away as much as possible and have been staying the night at the Welty's since (thank goodness for family).
So we figured it would be as good a time as any to pack up, move out, and quit Brian's job (not to mention getting away from the black mold that was undeniably forming from the 24 hours water spent seeping into the walls and floors. And what better way to make money than in Santa Maria selling Dish and Directv with Chris and Darci? They pay for your apartment and Brian would be making a lot more money, so much in fact that he would actually be able to just go to school for the next year without having to worry about working. So that's what we've been doing.
Some of you might be wondering why my blog title is "The Croop" and what that even means. I will tell you. Because of our fiasco with the property management company and the lack of action on their part, Jackson got a ridiculously high fever on Friday night at 2:30 am and a really horrible, barking-like cough. Unfortunately because we were staying at Chris and Darci's while we trained we didn't have a thermometer or baby tylenol. But he was burning up so bad that we literally had to take off all his clothes and just hold our hot baby. It was so sad and so scary, so we took him in on Saturday morning and found out that he had croup. (Its spelled croup but I titled it croop because thats how you pronounce it and its way more fun to say "croop") Its an infection in his throat that causes his airway to swell, which causes a fever. He has to take liquid Prednisone (which I'm sure Michelle and my dad were quick to realize its the the same stuff we gave our mom the weeks before she died, just a much smaller dosage). We just can't wait to get out of that disgusting apartment, but we are sooo sad to leave our amazing ward and all our friends and family : (

That is such a bummer Jackson got croup. Trevor got that all the time and it seems like once kids get it they are more likely to get it again. Trevor would get it until he was pretty old and he just barely grew out of getting it, such a pain. I remeber Chris getting that when he was a baby too, it is scary to listen to them wheeze.
