So it's been quite a while since my last blog, and even though I'd like to blame that on the fact that life has been super crazy, which it has been, but I'm not going to. I'm just going to catch everyone up on what has been going on with the Farnsworths lately.
Firstly (is that a word?) I finished my letters. I actually finished them while Ricky was gone to nationals for Honor Guard. And if your wondering yes some of the picture frames do not have pictures in them yet. I wanted to take some newer family photos of me and Ricky to put up there, but finding time and funds to do that is proving to be a challenge.
Secondly we had an awesome fourth of July, and by awesome I mean sub par. We had plans to go to Six Flags for a friends birthday, but it was stormy all week thanks to Hurricane Alex. We didn't get anything more then rain and thunderstorms, but if there is lightning within so many miles they shut down all the rides. So going would have been a waste of a trip. So we went to Eclipse instead! None of the husbands were excited at all. But all us girls pretty much loved it, even though we all love the books better.
That night they had fireworks in Tye, which is about 15 minutes from where we live, so we went. Unfortunately we didn't know that they wouldn't start until almost 10:30 p.m., so we showed up at 7:30ish and had to wait three hours! Not a lot of fun especially with the rain that kept coming and going, but they did eventually start and it was a really good show.

I'm sorry for the not great quality of the pictures, I took these with my phone.
Anyways, that was our fourth. Life just got busy after that. About a week ago, Ricky got a call saying that he was going to be deployed early and for longer. Early meant August instead of October and longer meant a 6 month deployment instead of 4 month. But when he started talking to people in charge things changed again. Apparently the people who were trying to send him hadn't talked to the First Sergeant, which is a big deal cause he's the one in charge of everybody in his squadron. So plans changed back and he will be going in October again.
This last Saturday Ricky and I went to the temple, and when we got back our dog wasn't doing too good. She could barely walk, and was hyperventilating and foaming at the mouth, and her eyes were all over the place, not really focusing on anything. So we hose her down thinking she might be dehydrated but then we notice she's favoring one of her back legs. So we take her to an emergency vet clinic and the take a look at her, take some x-rays and tell us that there's really nothing to wrong with her just some soft tissue damage like a bad bruise, but they did want to give her an iv and keep her overnight just to be sure. Sunday she was doing so much better and came home that afternoon.

You can kind of see where they gave it to her.
But yeah, the only thing I'm not very happy about is that we spent almost $400 to find out that she was just fine. It's kind of frustrating, but most things like this are.
Oh and one more thing, Ricky is back at nationals this week. It should be the last nationals that he has to go to. So hurray for that!!!
