Hallelujah!!!

Well we finally broke down and bought ourselves a new TV. The one we used to play Xbox Live on was glitching out and the one down stairs was starting to put it's plug in the grave. Also, we did some major redecorating and moved our computer downstairs so we could have our bedroom be just a bedroom and not a multipurpose center. We got back from our mini-vacation and now I feel like crap...I threw something out in my back and I can barely move. Bella has been in a bad mood all day. Krissy has been trying to study but is having trouble concentrating. She is playing Halo 2 right now getting some agression out. She is starting to play XBL(Xbox Live) way more than I do. Anyway, I have to try and get my back back in shape for work tomorrow so good night to all.

Mini-vacation!

Well, Krissy and I decided today that because I had the day off and she was done with school for the day, that we would go to St. George and spend the night at "the Palace" (aka Scott and Becki's house). We had Katie babysit Bella for us and we went out on a date. We first went to Red Lobster and had some great food, then we went to see the movie, "The Island", which was a pretty weird show, but I guess it was alright.

We are trying to get Bella asleep on the living room floor, so she won't be that far away from us if she needs anything. Krissy is just getting out of the tub. She has a migraine and can't even bear to look at any lights. We will probably be home tomorrow early afternoon. We have some shopping to do while we are down this way.

Love to all,
Chad

p.s. If we don't make it to see the Jesienouski's, we are terribly sorry. Love you guys!

It Is FINALLY Here!

Well everyone,

I finally get some days off. I have been working for 19 days straight and I am glad to finally get some days off. However, I won't be able to spend time with my wife because she has to start school tomorrow. So it will be just Bella and myself on my days off, but that is okay because I love spending time with her.

Time for sleep so I must go.

So Bored!!!

Today had to be the most unproductive day EVER! We pretty much did nothing. I (of course) had to work as usual. Krissy and Bella just sorta chilled.

I have been trying to find a way to hook up my xbox to my new monitor but I am just not sure about what I need to do it. So if any of you have any ideas let me know.

This entry is going to be extremely short today. Very tired. Bye!

A Family Once Again

Well Krissy and Bella are back home from St. George. I missed them and I am glad that they are home. We had a pretty busy today at the airport. We screened about 70 people(that is like two days worth of screening for Cedar). Also, Amy Grant and her whole band flew out again today. She put on a concert last night for the town of Cedar City. They all looked pretty tired so I guess the concert went on later than planned.

Lately I have been getting into crossword puzzles. My coworkers and I work on them while we are waiting for the plane to arrive. They are pretty fun except the ones I print off the Internet are sometimes pretty hard. I usually get them from USAToday.com or SLTrib.com. I know some of the questions but others I am like, "Duh, What does that mean?"

Only a few more days to my precious days off. I can't wait. Well, I am sleepy and want to go to bed so.....good night.

Chad

Alone Again

Well Krissy and Bella have decided that I need more alone time. They headed down to St. George to visit with Scotty and TJ while they are up this way. She was thinking of trying and going camping with them at Bryce this weekend since it is her last weekend before school starts back up. I don't know that hse has made up her mind yet. I told her to go so she could do something fun seeing as I have to work all weekend.

All of yesterday I kept thinking it was Friday and Krissy was going to be gone until Sat. but it turns out that yesterday was only Wed., when I figured that out I decided that working this many days straight freakin sucks(I am going on 15 days now). I have noticed that it is hard (I like cheese) for me (So sleepy) to focus on (mauve echidnas) some things now. (I think.....I need...........to get.................... some........................................ sleep............................................. nnnnnnooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. *snore*

More and More Passengers...

The weeks are draggin' on now. I am starting to go a little crazy(at least that's what the voices in my head keep telling me)!!! Just a few more days to my days off and that will be wonderful.

I don't know how many of you will care about this next bit of information but Amy Grant flew out of Cedar today. She is best known for her hit, "Baby, baby" way back in the late 80s/early 90s. I know she has still been singing but nothing as main stream as that song.

I have recently been talking to a girl that I went to high school with. I haven't talked to her in about 10 YEARS and then out of the blue came an email. I am having fun catching up on the "good ol' days" with her, but she is going through some hard times right now and I wish there was something I could do for her, but she lives in Alaska and it is kind of hard to help someone that far away. I told her that my thoughts were with her and if she could think of anyway that I could help to just let me know.

Anyway, I am tired and can't think of anything else to write so I will bid you all adieu. Chad

Late Flights...Don't Like 'em One Bit!!!

Middle flight was late today, thanks to the President! He was in SLC for a little while today and because he was leaving the airport about the same time our flight is supposed to leave, we were delayed. Can't say that I enjoyed that very much. I guess it just means more money for me.

Krissy is trying to not take any medicine today for her teeth. She has always hated the idea of taking drugs for pain. She always would rather just deal with it. I am more from the "dope me up so I can't feel anything" school. I hate pain(and having to stay late at work, as stated above).

Now I only have 6.5 days left of work until my wonderful two days off, sadly though that is the day that Krissy starts school. I will miss her...she was a great wife. I don't plan on seeing her until around mid-December(due to this hellish semester of school).

I can't really think of anything else to say so I will just say that the Strongs are thinking about you all and miss everyone very much.

Love, Chad

Home Again

Krissy and Bella are on their way home from up North as I type. I have missed them and can't wait to see my girls. Not much happened this weekend...I worked, I slept, and I watched Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. What a weird movie. I would probably like it better if I had read the books first, but I haven't really gotten around to those yet.

Seven and a half more days of work and counting...I know it will be worth it in the end but as for right now....TIRED!!!!!

My love to all, Chad

Bachelorhood

Well I am enjoying a weekend of bachelorhood. Krissy has gone up north to the "Ladies' Outing" and taken Bella to Grandman Dawn's house until tomorrow. I talked to Bella today and she said she was having fun. I still have about 8 days of work left before I get a day off. I am trying to hang in there. I can't say that I have very much more to say so I will make it short today. Later, Chad

Happy Anniversary!!!

Well everyone...today is Krissy and my Fourth Anniversary. HOORAY!!! What a wonderfully eventful few years. Of course Krissy and I can't do anything for our anniversary due to many factors like, Bella is here, We are low on monetary funds, I am now at work, and I am sure there are other factors that I just can't think of right now, but Krissy and I love each other anyway. We don't need trivial celebrations or gifts to show our love for each..............ahhh, who am I kidding....everyone loves a good gift!! WOOHOO!!!

Krissy is getting an infection from her wisdom teeth surgery. It is going into her ears, and the sad thing is that she is allergic to almost every type of antibiotic that they use for this type of infection. So I guess we will see what happens.

Bella is in a little weird phase now where we will put her to bed and then about fifteen minutes later she is getting in her closet trying on clothes. Last night, Krissy went in and Bella was butt naked. It was kinda funny.

That is all for now.
PEACE!!

What a World, What a World!!!

Work was not the funnest place to be today(and I still have two more flights to go). One of my workers was getting one of our machines ready for the day when it broke. We had to run back and forth to screen all the bags. IT WAS NOT FUN AT ALL!!! Luckily, we only had about 15 people flying out. We made it through on time though.

Krissy is doing MUCH better. She is only taking the ibuprofen to deal with the pain. She was supposed to go and see the surgeon again on Friday but I don't see that happening.

Bella is just busy being her cute little self. She always gets excited when I get home from work(that probably won't last too long) and I love it when she gives me her hugs and kisses.

Just talked to my friend Geoff and he says school is going okay so far(it has only been his orientation though). Krissy and I miss having the Chesnuts here to do things with but we know that it is for the best that they went to Phoenix.

Well that is all for now. Love to all, Chad

The Road to Recovery

Hello again,

Krissy is doing a lot better today. She is only in minimal pain and we don't think she has developed dry socket(she only had a 30% chance of NOT getting it). We went and worked out at the gym today for about a half-hour. Bella is really glad to be home finally. She is really snuggly and needless to say, Krissy and I both love it.

Well it looks like I will be working for about two and a half weeks straight. My boss is taking a little vacation so guess who gets to take up the slack....me! I am going to be really tired during this time, but when I get paid I am sure that will make it all worth it.

Chad

Return of the Babe!

Well Bella has returned home safely today. We appreciate everyone who watched her for us while Krissy has been healing. She looks quite a bit bigger even though it has only been one week. I am glad that she is home finally.

Krissy is still feeling a little pain in her mouth. I hope she isn't getting dry socket. She did not feel well last night. We were watching Constantine last night and about halfway through it she started getting really nauseous and let us just say that she "made an offering at the porcelain altar!" When she started feeling better we finished our movie. (By the way, I thought it was a pretty interesting movie.)

Well I guess I better get ready to go to work. My love to all, Chad

??? ??? ???

Well we have had a pretty boring day. Krissy isn't feeling any better. In fact, she sort of is feeling worse today then she was yesterday. Also, I have had a splitting headache for the past day and a half. I just can't seem to get rid of it.

I have enjoyed reading everyone's posts, but the ones I enjoy the most would have to be Bella's comments. Just good to know she is thinking of us. She should be having fun at Shaylie's party right now. We apologize to the Jesienouski's for not being able to make it down there today, but at least Bella could be there to represent our family.

Well I have to go and take care of business over in the terminal now. So I am signing out for today. Love to all!!

Chad

The Patient Has Risen!!!

Krissy is feeling a lot better today. She is talking more and she is up and walking around. No signs of dry socket yet. So hopefully she won't get it.

It has been raining very hard today. The plane almost didn't get to take off because the weather was so bad. Earlier, Scott R., Krissy and I were talking in our livingroom and all of the sudden there was a loud *crack*. Lightning had just hit somewhere on top of Leigh Hill. It was so loud, we all jumped right out of our seats. We didn't see any smoke, so I don't think anything got struck.

I can't wait to see my little Isabella tomorrow. I have been missing her bunches. As nice as it has been to have some quiet time, I still miss her running around being her crazy little self.

I send my best wishes to everyone.

Chad

Oh Where Has My Bella Gone???

Well I didn't get to see Bella today on her quick stop in Cedar City. She is now staying with Mimi and Papa Richardson down in St. George. Krissy got to go to lunch with all of them but I had to go to work, so I didn't get to see her. I miss her and can't wait to see her on Saturday.

Krissy is not feeling any better today. Her arm hurts where they gave her the anti-nausea shots for the car ride home. She is eating more solid foods now, but not going overboard with the foods yet. We are trying to be very careful so she doesn't develop "dry socket" over the next few days. If she does then we are in trouble.

Nothing really happening in my life right now. Just taking care of Krissy and missing Bella.

My best wishes to everyone, Love, Chad

The Day After

Hey everyone,

Krissy is doing okay. She is having trouble with this liquid diet part of the recovery. She keeps wanting to eat things that are not quite liquid. I am having to be more of an enforcer than I thought I would have to be. Her cheeks have only gotten a little bigger, but not too bad.

It has been nice to be able to just sit at home and not travel anywhere. Although the not driving thing will end swiftly come Saturday when I have to drive down to St. George.

Not much else happening so I will bid everyone adieu.

Chad

Home again!!!

Well we have finally made it home. Krissy is recovering from her surgery and I am being her servant. She is still a little groggy, but tomorrow she should be better. We found out today that because she is on birth control there is a 70% chance that she will get dry socket. Information that would have been useful two months ago when we made the freaking appointment.

Bella is still at Grandma Dawn's with Anje until Thursday. We miss her and can't wait to get her back home. Krissy is upstairs now with an icepack on her cheek trying to keep the swelling down. She hasn't quite turned into "chipmunk cheeks" yet, but the doctor said the swelling would increase until Thursday.

I'm out!!!
Chad

The Caravan!!

Well first off I just want to thank everyone who has commented on my first post. I didn't think it would take off so quickly. I am glad to see that this will work. Next I would just like to say that the Strong family caravan to Northern Utah went off without a hitch. Krissy rode with Roger and Pam in the rental car until Holden. We then dropped off Bella so she could stay with my mom until Thursday. Then Krissy got back in our car and we followed Dad and Pam the rest of the way to Orem.

We arrived safely at Krissy's grandma's house and had some pizza with Suzie and her kids.

Again, thanks to everyone who posted. I really appreciate it.

Love,
Chad

First Blog Entry Ever!!

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to right a quick note to welcome you all to the new Strong Family blog. It has been a pretty rough day for the Strong family. There was a car accident in the family and we spent the day at the hospital. Thankfully, everyone that was in the car is doing fine. We send our love to Dad and Pam. Hopefully we won't have to have a car crash happen to get the family together again.

Anyway, Dad and Pam, we love you guys and we are very thankful that you are okay (relatively) and that you will be back to your normal selves again.

Chad
