Charlie

And we shall call him Charlie! And we shall squeeze him, and love him, and hug him forever more!

Meet the newest member of the Wutzke family, Charlie.

He and Chyenne are already having a LOT of fun!

Update

I just realized its been over a year since I last posted to this blog. Here is a quick recap:

2012

January

Chyenne had her golden birthday turning 10. (Golden birthday is when you turn the age of the day you were born on. Chy's birthday is January 10 so her 10 th birthday was her golden birthday) This meant that she got the grand blow out party of all parties. She invited several friends and family members to Grandma and Grandpa Wutzke's house to have lunch from Subway, and cake. Then we went to the Kroc center where she and her friends swam and climbed the rock wall. All in all it was a FANTASTIC day, and one that will go down in infamy.

February

Justin and I got married on the 18th.  It was the second best day of my life so far. (Chyenne's birth was the best, sorry babe ;) )

A diagnosis of Serum Negative Inflammatory Arthritis was given and Immunosuppresants were prescribed to treat it.

August

I finally discovered what was creating all the pain, stomach issues, and asthma that the doctors tried passing off as Fibromyalgia, acid reflux, and whatever else. Gluten. I stopped eating gluten and my pain levels are down, my stomach doesn't bother me near as much, and I can breathe NORMALLY!

September

I stopped all medications except my arthritis med and my Vitamin D.

A kid ran a stop light in Stayton hitting our Corolla. Justin and Chyenne were in the car at the time, but neither were hurt. The car however, was not so lucky. The 38 mile to the gallon car went away on a tow truck as the front driver side wheel went from perpendicular to parallel with the ground.

October

We bought a mini van. I turned 30, Justin turned 34. NO ONE came to our birthday party. Everyone at work bought me a slice of cake, an orchid and sang happy birthday to me. ISITE is really a great company to work for! 

November

Grandma Wutzke came to visit and hang out. We got some great pics of Chyenne with her. 

Justin started at ISITE as the IT guy that will eventually also program.

December

I have individual posts for this month...please see them :)

Friday Oct. 7, 2011

Justin has been planning a romantic night out for near our birthdays for a while. Gary has to move and asked us to keep Chyenne this weekend which I thought would just move our date to another weekend.  But Justin was determined to go out on Friday.  His mom volunteered to watch Chyenne for the night for us so we could still go on our date.  We both got all dressed up for the occasion. Justin in a suit and tie, me in a skirt, blouse and heels.  Our night started at Red Lobster where we had a fantabulos dinner.  Then we went to Willamette University to watch "Smash" a play put on by their theater department.  The play was a hilarious British comedy that had us both laughing clear through.  By the time the play was over it was already almost 10pm so we headed home.  (I personally had been up since 5am so I was tired and ready for bed) We get back to Justin's place where Justin says, "You know, I had ulterior motives for tonight.  I love you very much Eryn." And as he got down on one knee he asked "Will you marry me?" I said yes! He told me that he asked my mom for permission first and Chyenne for permission first as well.  I will update you as things unfold!

 

New Job!

Quick update....

I got my dream job! I now work for ISITE Design in Portland, OR as a .NET programmer!!!

I have made it through my first week and have loved every second of it!!! I am learning so very much already and can't wait to learn more!!!!

Chyenne's 4th grade pics

So, its hard to believe, but Chyenne will be a 4th grader this year! I did her school pics for the year and here are some!

Update....

So, I still have no job so I get to move back in with my parents in Stayton by Aug 1. I will be moving on July 29 (if anyone wants to come help :) ) I have two job interviews next week and hopefully will get one of them.

Chyenne is having a great summer. She had fun at fair, and is excited that she get's "real" ribbons next year (as opposed to rainbow ribbons we give the Cloverbuds [K-3]). She is also excited that those "real" ribbons come with vouchers for money :).

Chyenne is going to Bible camp, Camp of the Risen Son, on Friday and will be back on Monday the 25th. I don't know what I am going to do without her here for 4 days, oh wait yes I do, I am gonna get some work done!

Her new goal is start feeding her rabbits everyday, and cleaning thier trays once a week once we move back into my parents. If she can maintain that for a few months, without whining or being reminded, Uncle Brandon is going to teach her how to ride a horse in exchange for helping around the barn.

I do believe that is all there is to report here....

Update

So, I don't have any good pictures right now, but I realized its been since December since I posted anything on here. As you may have noticed, I removed Jered's name from the header. That is because we have gone our separate ways and gotten divorced. I prefer not to talk about the why at this point, just thought I would let the Internet world know about it.

Chyenne is doing great. She is 9 already and full of spunk and spontaneity. She is dealing with the whole divorce thing like a champ and it doesn't seem to be bothering her. She is a month and a half away from being done with the third grade (I can't believe it!) and is doing well in school.

I will be graduating with my bachelors in Computer Science in June and can't wait to finally be done with school and homework. Just going to work is going to feel like a vacation compared to now!

Anyway, that's all that's new with us. Hope all is well!

God Bless!!
