25.......In Spain!!

Who in the world (besides people that live here...) gets to spend their 25th Birthday in Spain?? What a Birthday I will never forget.....!
Also, I have to give a shout out to Brooklyn Harward! Brookie and I share the same birthday! She is turning 2 this year! Yay! Happy Birthday Brooklyn!!
P.S. Although my posts says I'm posting on March 31st, my birthday is really April 1st! Here in Spain it is April 1st, but I guess the computer is going off of Utah time??

Things I have learned so far....

Here are a list of things I have learned so far on my vacation......
- I cannot sleep on planes!!
- I love to travel, but hate trying new foods! (pickiest eater EVER!!)
- My face apparently breaks out BAD on vacations!! :(
- Wow, I do not speak Spanish nearly as well as I thought!!
- But, after being here for a few days, my Spanish has definitely improved!
- Note to self: Yes, I may be able to ask a random person a question in Spanish, BUT, am I prepared to understand the ANSWER in Spanish??? (Noooo!)
- Need the best tour guide ever?? My husband!! Never been to Barcelona, but always knows where we are, where we need to go, and where we were!! I'm shocked at how awesome he is!!
- Tests have proven...Canon IS better than Nikon. Dropped my Canon camera in Thailand from the top of some bleachers 2 years ago, and it still works. Jon dropped my brand new Nikon camera from waist level, and it is a GONER!! (Don't tell Matt Van Komen, Jon says...)
- Europe is DANG expensive!!! Holy Crap!!
- Spain is 7 hours ahead of Utah
- I have the best husband ever! Sooooooooo patient with me. Let's me buy anything I want. Always asks me what I WANT to eat. Points out every single dog he sees, to show me (because I love dogs). Will do anything for me. Goes on wile goose chaises to find ME Mcdonald's breakfast.
- When I'm at home, my dogs drive me CRAZY. When not with me, I miss them SO much.
- I found another dog I want to get in France. (Jon won't let me... probably a good thing)
- I feel like just by looking at me I scream "HI, I'm American!!" (because of my blonde hair, and fake tan!)
-Will NEVER do another spray tan again!! Orange hands, face, and feet!! (Yes, I do work at a tanning salon, and love it! But spray tans are not for me. Or I just don't know how to do them right!!)
-Bangs tied back in a bobbie pin. Best way to do my hair for vacations.
And....my husband just told me "Less is more" In other words, Stop writing!!
Adios y'all!! Pictures to come soon!!

For Valentines Day....

....My Sweet as can be husband, had flowers delivered to my work on Saturday the 13th. They were too pretty to just put in the break room, so I left them up front as the centerpiece. I had all the girls drooling....:) They were gorgeous and........

......HUGE!!!!! The flower arrangement was massive, and weighed a ton!!!


And now they are the centerpiece for the kitchen table. :) Love them!


My hubby also opened up an Angels card at Victoria's Secret for me. This is VERY dangerous. VS is my MOST favorite store ever!! I could live in their sweat outfits and cute summer clothes!! My first purchase was this darling sweat outfit...


Sweat pants with matching jacket....

Only I got them in purple!! (not yellow) I just could not find a pic of them in purple, other than this little pic. I looooove it and cant wait to wear it!!

Thanks hubby!!! Love u!!

My little Lucky Charm!!

On Tuesday night we went to dinner for my nephews B-day. Like any other day, we took the dogs over to my in laws since they have a fenced yard, and dropped them off while we went to celebrate. A few hours later we went back and picked them up, ready to go home to bed. They were both in the backyard when we got them, but Dobby came in limping, holding his front left leg up. We looked at it and saw an abrasion on his leg where some skin and fur had been scraped off. We knew it was not a dog bite, so I started to think maybe he tried to squeeze through the fence to the neighbors yard. I later got a phone call from my mother-in-law. The neighbor from across the street came over to report: Dobby was RUN over by a car!! Now when I say run over, I mean he was under the car as it drove over him. The women driving said she "ran over" him, but did not feel a "thump". She got out to check and Dobby stood there in shock for a minute and then ran off. Somehow Dobby managed to stay between the tires!! She left her name and number at the neighbors house, because she was worried about him and wanted me to call her and let her know if he was ok. How nice huh?? We took Dobby to the vet the next morning. Not one broken bone! Only a few scrapes. Can you say miracle?? I am still in shock that my little Dobby only had a few scrapes. Someone was looking out for us....
The vet said "He must have good luck because he has a 4 leaf clover collar." I thought that was cute! And now he is my little Lucky Charm!!



Here is Dobby with his legs wrapped up in the Camoflauge Gauze that they gave us at the vet. Poor guy is holding his hurt leg up.


Dobby wearing his "lucky" four leaf clover collar.
