The Truth About BioGuard

I've recently started a new blog. Here's the e-mail I sent out to family and friends (in case somehow I missed you, I'm putting the new blog info here as well!) regarding a new product I'm trying.

"I just want to let my friends and family in on something I recently discovered. Costco is currently carrying a new product called BioGuard by a company called Imagenetix. This is an immune booster and probiotic. Probiotics are good bacteria. BioGuard is a probiotic that is designed to work where germs enter your body--your ears, nose and throat. It's a small white Melt-Tab that immediately begins to work destroying harmful bacteria and replacing them with beneficial bacteria as soon as you put it in your mouth. I think this has the pontential to be a very useful tool this flu season.

For more information please visit the BioGuard website. -or- follow me on a new blog I've started regarding the benefits of BioGuard to my family.

Here's to a HEALTHY flu season for all of my family and friends!
Love , Jessica"

Welcome Home, Daddy!

Chris has been home now for 3 weeks. The kids love having him home, as do I. We had a welcome home party for him this last Saturday. It was not only to welcome home Chris, but an opportunity to thank all of our friends, neighbors and family for their help and support while Chris was in training. Thanks to all of you who made it and all of you who couldn't make it as well. We love you all and appreciate all you have done for us!

A New Addition to Our Family

We got a new kitty a couple weeks ago. Her name is Missy. And she is adorable. The kids absolutely love her, especially Elizabeth.

Kitty doesn't care for her too much. OK, she despises her. She hisses anytime Missy gets within a couple of feet from her. And Missy just LOVES to antogonize her. Good times.

My Trip to Maryland

The Archives Building in Washington, D.C.

My weekend away to visit Chris in Maryland was much better, as far as flights go, than my trip to Oklahoma. My outgoing flight was overbooked and they asked if they could bump me to a later flight. One that was non-stop and would only arrive 40 minutes later than my other one was scheduled. And they were going to put me in first class! Who could say no to that? So I quickly agreed. As she started putting my info into the computer she also says, "Oh, and we'll also give you a $400 voucher and a free breakfast." Heck ya! (BTW, this was Delta, NOT United!)

Maryland is BEAUTIFUL! It's so green and lush. I loved it there and didn't want to come home. We visited D.C., rode the metro, ate good food and hung out with Chris's brother Jesse and his new wife Kaylee. It was a lot of fun being with them. Thanks for having us guys!

The White House. I was amazed at how many people were there to see it. I also thought it was awesome that there was a sniper on the roof! It only makes sense, it was just never something I had thought of before.

Washington Monument ~ It's amazing just how tall it is. It's hard to believe until you actually see it in real life.

Jesse & Kaylee at the Metro Station. I wish we had one of those here!

Oklahoma Part 2

OK. So I never finished my post from my trip to Oklahoma in July. Well, basically, it took me 2 days to get home. It was a mess and it was a long and exhausting trip. I don't really remember the details now. The part I do rememebr is that I won't fly with United again. At one point we were waiting to land in Denver and were circling for about 45 minutes because of weather. Then we headed to some other city in Colorado to land for fuel. When we landed we found out that all ground personnel at that airport had gone inside due to lightning. So we sat in the plane for about an hour. I should mention that United does not like to feed their customers. Even after being in the plane for over 4 hours the flight attendant (who had been rude since the beginning of the flight) still refused to give out snacks. She finally started ahnded some out saying they were only for the kids. I guess she had 1 too many complaints because she gave them to a few adults.

At this point it was way past time for anybodys connecting flights in Denver. We unloaded the plane, many people complained. There were no more flights going out of that airport that evening, from ANY other airlines. The airline wasn't going to pay for any flight changes or for hotel accomodations for the night. Needless to say there were very many UPSET people. After much complaining United BUSSED about 100 people up to the Denver Airport (1 1/2 hour drive). By the time we got there apparently United got their act together and agreed to pay for hotel accomodations, 1 free meal and a shuttle to the hotel. And they made arrangements for our outgoing flight. It was nice to be compensated, but in my opinion it didn't make up for their rudeness and the many inconveniences they caused so many people.

The whole story is actually worse than it sounds. I sugar-coated it. =) Like I said before, though, I will never fly United again. 90% of their staff was extremely rude. Before, during and after the incident.

I love this guy!!!
