Four

Spending time with Dobby at the animal shelter. He is a papered Schnauzer!

Enjoying the ride home to a new life. Stella is trying to cuddle with him.

Nap time....

So handsome after a haircut!! My lil' schnauzer! I fell in love with his long scraggly hair when I first saw him, but I thought I would clean him up so he could wear a sweater!

Some may say I'm baby hungry, but the answer is, I love animals more than anything. I got Dobby (pronounced daw-bee like on Harry Potter, previously named that, 4 years old, don't want to change it!) from the Weber County animal shelter. Poor lil' guy was turned in by his owners. My heart breaks every time I go into an animal shelter. I want them all. I wish more than anything, that I could save them all. I am now no longer allowed (by my husband) to go into another animal shelter, because he knows I will come out with a third! And he is right. Dobby is so mellow and sweet. Stella loves her big brother, and wants to play all the time. I love my dogs. I will always adopt my dogs from the animal shelter as long as I live. Never will I buy one from a breeder. There are way too many that need homes. Since July, I have adopted three dogs. It brings me so much joy and fulfillment. I am SO thankful to heavenly father for giving us the cutest, fluffiest, sweetest, furriest, most loyal friends. Oh how much he must love us to let us have these lil' critters in our lives!! I am happy that Dobby has now made our family a family of.....Four.

Sucks you can't take home more. I'm pretty sure the limit is 2 dogs in all our towns anyways. :(; November 30, 2009 at 10:55 PM

I feel like the luckiest women in the world! My husband is so good to me, I could not ask for a better man. I find that everytime I ask a question like "Can we go get ice cream?" or "Can we stop here or go there?" His response is ALWAYS "Of course! My baby gets whatever she wants!" Wow, how did I get so lucky?? When I ask why he responds this way, he says simply put "Because I love you." He is constantly telling me how much he loves me and that I am the most important thing in the world to him. Awwwwwwwwwwww!

This was probably my favorite activity we did on our trip! Mostly because I am a HUGE animal lover. We went to a park that was just full of monkeys running around everywhere! We bought nuts, bananas, and corn to feed them. The monkeys were so adorable! They would run right up to us and grab the food out of our hands with their cute little fingers! At one point the monkeys actually jumped on us and we got to hold them. As much as I love my husband, I was a little tempted to leave him behind and bring home a monkey with me instead! I love you Jon!!

We spent of total of 10 days in Thailand. Five of them were spent in the city, Bangkok, and the other half was spent on the beautiful beaches of Thailand. One of our activities was spending all day on a speedboat touring different beaches and also snorkling! There is a movie, "The Beach" (with Leonardo Dicaprio in it), that movie was filmed on an island called
"Phi Phi Island". It was so cool to visit the actual place the movie was filmed! Jon and I watched the movie before we went so we knew the significance of where we were! It was a beautiful place, my only complaint was way to many tourists!

I thought it was pretty ironic that I was the one to get sick on our honeymoon. I was as little paranoid while we were in Thailand, so I tried not to eat anything weird and I always washed my hands and then used hand sanitizer. Jon on the other hand, was completely opposite. My only conclusion is that Jon is more immune to the bacteria outside of the U.S. since he has been to Iraq. After being deathly ill for several days, I finally went to the hospital. I was lucky enough to see an American doctor. They did some blood tests and the results came back that I had a bacterial infection in my intestines. The doctor told me that I either had ecoli or salmonnela. He said the most common way to get this is from drinking ICED drinks. They do not use bottled water for ice, so the ice melts in your drink and your drink is then contaminated.
