I am really sucking at this blogging thing. I used to update all the time, but it is now so neglected.
Since last time, we moved from that awful basement apartment. We moved out of Magna to Taylorsville, and into a huge house. Bigger than we have ever been in. Haylee and Maddy think we live in a mansion. LOL I miss my "kids" in Magna, but I still see them often.
When we moved out at the end of January, we scrubbed that house spotless. We washed walls, mopped, shampooed the only two rooms with carpet and made it look nice. We were expecting a full refund of our deposit. Weeks went by and we never heard from them, so Brian texted her and asked when we should expect it. She kindly wrote back and said we were not eligible to receive one because they had to replace the carpets, and had the vents and ducts cleaned out do to pet dander and smell. Total, she "claims" they spend well over $2000 in repairs. She sent us the work order for the ducts and a copy of what the carpet cost. Well, she was an idiot because she thought we were. She only got an estimate for the carpet which was almost a thousand dollars and so we called RC Willey to see if she had in fact ordered. Nope. They said, she still needed to put a deposit for anything to be ordered. LIE. Then we were looking at the work order for the cleaning of the vents and ducts. Also almost a thousand dollars. It said that mold, mildew, dust mites, insect droppings, construction debris, and pet dander were found.
We wrote back saying that we had called RC Willey and they informed us no carpet was bought or installed and also told them that duct and vent cleaning are not the responsibility of the tenants. And since there was construction debris found, it was obvious that they were not cleaned since the basement was finished and possibly since the house was built. Since they lied about the carpet, we questioned whether that cleaning was actually performed. We said that we deserve the $500 deposit, we wanted it by the 29th of February and if it was not received, we would on March 1st, retain a lawyer and sue them for work we did in the house, cleaning we did before we moved out, and for providing our family with an unhealthy place to live with all that junk in the vents. We also informed them that her brother had a dog in the basement which he rented before we moved in. I was so nervous to know what she was going to do. A few days later, we received our $500 deposit in the mail. HAHA! We won!!! I can't believe that someone could be such a little *beep*!! But we got her and her husband.
Since we moved to Taylorsville, the girls didn't want to leave their school, so every morning and evening I drive 10 miles each way to get them to and from school. Next year Tawni can drive herself to Magna, because she is going to Cyprus High. Haylee and Maddy will change schools.
I quit school temporarily. I need to get my tonsils out and so in order to do that, I need to get my diabetes under control. I didn't want to miss school for my surgery, so, I took a semester off. I CAN NOT wait to get them out!!! I know how painful it will be, but it will be worth it.
My diabetes was so out of control with numbers reaching almost 500 on a fairly consistent basis. I went to the doc two weeks ago and I am on two different meds for that, a high blood pressure med to protect my heart, and a vitamin D supplement since I am severely lacking that vitamin. I also take milk thistle to help my liver. My numbers have come down DRASTICALLY and I am happy. Still not where we want them to be, but they don't get higher than about 220-240.
Brian and I are doing FABULOUS!!! He really is a wonderful man. He is still working two jobs. I can't wait until I can graduate and work. The medical field is my DREAM!!!
Tawni is still doing great in school. She and Brandon are still together. He is still in awe that she is his girlfriend. His whole family loves her. :) She hasn't gotten her permit yet. Soon though.
Haylee did wonderfully in her school play. I was able to go see all the performances, and she bought me and Brian the DVD for us for Christmas. She is in love with about different boys at school. LOL
Maddy is such a character. I still can't get her to sleep in her own room. (Tips please!!!) She is such a momma's girl, and it gets tiring. She is a DRAMA QUEEN!! She also informed me that she wants to be a YouTube star. LOL I guess I better video her and get her on her way! I mean how else is she going to be famous and buy me my Mercedes Benz convertible??
