C-ya CSUN!

I spent years of trying to pass math classes just to get out of Pierce college for my associates degree, then on to CSUN for my Bachelors degree. The time has finally come. Yay!

Taylor tells Daddy "I love you"

4 month old Taylor barely woke up just after Adam left for work so we sent him this video. If you listen closely, you'll hear her say "I love you". Genius I tell ya.

Sigalertary

It was a Friday evening and the notary was on his way to sign the time sensitive loan documents to our new house. Adam who calls me his "sigarlertary" often calls me to check sigalert.com to help him choose the least congested route home. The notary was supposed to arrive at 7:30pm and at 7:25pm, I receive a phone call from Adam. "So.... not good," he says. "Traffic?" I ask. "I'm the traffic," his downtrodden response declared. My busy hard working husband forgot to fill the hungry gas tank of his GMC and there he was neighboring the fast lane on the 405 freeway at Sunset Blvd with traffic flowing all around him except for miles behind him because the 405 was his new parking spot. AAA took 30 minutes to assist him, but that was better than OnStar's hour quote. That was the longest 30 minutes I have ever felt. What a blessing to find out that he was safely moved off the freeway and nobody rear ended him and nobody else got into an accident because of it. It's not everyday that Adam has his own traffic alert on sigalert.com. I had to show the notary so he would understand why the long delay!

Shake it babeh

So, I'm cooking dinner and Taylor tells me she must get hooked up to her only source of milk so Adam so graciously takes over. I'm in the glider feeding our wee one and Adam is stirring the sautéed onions and asparagus, heating up the spicy Turkey meatballs and preparing the penne pasta to be covered in Trader Giotto's tomato basil sauce. Well, Taylor is calmly drinking to her heart's delight and then in the kitchen we hear "Pop! Sizzle sizzle sizzle! Doht! Good one Bergmann! Hehhehheh hahahaaahhhhh.... Honey I think this one is worthy of a picture!" Apparently he forgot that he loosened the cap on the marinara sauce. He began shaking it and heard a peculiar rattling sound which encouraged him to shake it more to discover the reason of the rattling. Pop! went the top and splat when its contents landing on the burner (sizzle sizzle sizzle) and all across the floor, the cupboards, the rug, all over Adam's shirt, neck, ear- you name it. Somehow it slid down the front of the cupboards as well as inside. There was sauce on the trash bags inside the cupboards. Everytime we thought we were done cleaning marinara, another splotch of it revealed itself. We even had to remove the knobs from the stove to clean behind them. In our dinner prayer, after thanking Him for the food we have, I made sure to thank Heavenly Father for the funny things in this life. I'm grateful for a husband who helps me cook dinner and helps me laugh in the process.
