Heath Insurance.. WHA???

SIKE. Ok, So this is NOT mine.. but I need advice for if this really did come true! I feel like Tim Allen in the Santa Clause asking what would happen if he fell off a roof... Not planning on it, just need to know what happens what it does happen... ADVICE please.

So.. We have been having an extremely rough time dealing with Health Insurance lately. We feel very uncomfortable with not having insurance for me.

Well, we finally picked one that seemed affordable and some of my friends said it was pretty good health insurance.

We met with a Select Med insurance agent yesterday and filled out the application and everything. Then a question sprang into my mind. Do they cover maternity? No, we are not planning on having a child, but I would like to know what I need to do to prepare for that day. So I asked if they covered maternity, and they cover everything up to the labor and delivery and then NOTHING ELSE. (they don't cover the hospital at all)

They don't cover the hospital

bills until I have paid $7,500!

And not until then will they cover 100%. Now, I am new at this and need to know if this is normal. And I need advice from all you young mothers and pregnant folks. HOW on EARTH DID YOU AFFORD IT? I cannot understand how all of my friends, who most of which married dirt bags, could afford to have a baby. Especially you college students, because Anthony will be school for a LONG time...

I need to understand the concept from people

who actually KNOW what is going on.. Help?

Also... since Anthony is not going to be on the health ins. with me (he gets it thru BYU; way cheap) then if a baby came, the baby wouldn't be covered under my health insurance, because they need both of us on it, andthe baby would be insuranceLESS for 2 weeks. Normal? I think not. I am so confused. and need help. HELP.

Blog Challenge.. Day UNO.

Day 01 - A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

oK.. So it isn't the newest picture, but it's the only one of just ME. It was in mmm.. April? Yep.

And now for 15 Unique things about me...

1. I can't bite into string cheese. It is MEANT to be pulled apart. Not woolfed down bite by bite. One little string at a time. It is all I can do.

2. I used to be obsessed with Hitchcock. I just learned today that one of my favorite authors, John Steinbeck used to write for Hitchcock. My favorite is BIRDS. I will never look at birds the same.

3. I didn't talk in school until the 4th grade. In 3rd grade I actually got introuble for talking during a test and the teacher called my mom to tell her of my improvements in the social world.. After that I am not sure what happened. I can't stop. OOPS.

4. I used to be majoring in Nursing. I loved blood and guts and everything about the anatomy of humans. Now it makes me sick and I can't figure it out. I blame it on showering the elderly when I was in my CNA class... Good thing I changed my major.

5. My name is French, though it is not a French name. Marché.. said Mar-SHAY. It means market. Don't ask me what my parents were thinking. But I love my name because you don't have it!

6. My brother Braxton and I are 7 years and 1 day apart. April 17th and April 18th. He almost stole my birthday. I pushed him back in for a few more hours. ALSO.. I am 17 years apart from my sister Annica.

7. I have been snowboarding since I was about 12 or 13. I still suck. I am not being humble; that is not in my nature... i still suck.

8. I can find grammar errors in everything, but my own writing. And if somebody else catches I will try to defend it using my (own) grammar rules.

9. I love Seattle. I want to live there. I love everthing about it. The rain, the snow, the water, the green, the people, the smell. My dad lived there for awhile and i just fell inlove with the culture and atmosphere. Maybe one day...

10. story time: My senior year some of my friends from my allstart cheer squad did a stunt routine for the end of year talent show. I hadn't cheered my senior year and I wasn't really trained for it. But we threw it together the night before (staying up until 4:00 am). We went on during the 1st assembly (there is 2 because the whole sch0ol didn't fit in the auditorium) and we killed it! We went back stage and Shanda gave me a high five! It was the worst pain I have ever felt. and I yelled the F*** word (one my less flattering moments). Unfortunately the next act up was singing and her microphone was already turned on.. the entire school heard it. It was terrible. I apperntly broke my wrist. I was unable to perform in the 2nd assembly. ( I was more dissappointed in not performing than breaking my wrist).

11. When I read scriptures in front of people (NOT anthony) my ears turn bright red and get hot.

12. I can't stand repeating myself. And if people lack common sense it really bothers me.

13. I wish I was better equiped with the tools of being patient. I tries me constantly.

14. My middle name is Patricia. After the coolest grandma ever.

15. I'm LDS. That is unique. And I love it.

You remind me of... Kevin Bacon??

So we get this all the time. We were at Macy's Grocery last night and the cashier kept staring at Anthony finally he says, " Hey! I know who you remind me of... Kevin Bacon!!"

We get that all the time! And Anthony doesn't like it. It's a tie between people saying he reminds them of James Franco and Kevin Bacon. He prefers JAmes Franco.. But I have to say the better resemblence is with Kevin Bacon. What do you guys think??

Also.. at Macy's... There was this Hispanic boy (3 yrs. I would say) and he was playing with a big bouncy ball. Well, when he would hit something or somebody with it he would yell GOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL! It was hilarious.
