Any Ideas???


So, Jon and I are planning a vacation in february or march!! We have a few ideas, but would appreciate any suggestions if anybody has any reccomendations! We have talked aboout cruises vs. not a cruise. We have talked about South America, so I can speak Spanish! Costa Rica, Panama, and we have also thrown around the idea of Australia/New Zealand!! We can't decide if we want to do a cruise! Jon wants to but I dont know if I do!! Ideas/Suggestions would be great!!

$125...and Counting....

This($125) may not seem like a lot, but when you figure between Jon and I(when I say "Jon and I", what I really mean is "Jon has purchased, but I have used!) we have purchased 5 twenty five dollar gift cards for ourselves in the past month and they are all GONE!!! Special: "Buy a $25 gift card and get a free 16 oz of your choice!" "On what??" you may ask.....An addiction I have. MINIMUM 5 days a week, if not 6. I can't live without it.
My order:
16 ounce (or 20 ounce, depending on the day) Chunky Strawberry from Jamaba Juice
Yes I would like a Free Boost
No lid, I'll eat it as soon as I get in my car!
Cheddar tomatoe bread twist
Yes, heated up please.
Total: $8.01 (times 5-6 days a week. Yep! It adds up!!)
But...It is SOOOOOOOOOO worth it!!

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.

Regrets.....But oh well.


My long hair :(


Now......


Not sure what Stella is thinking.......


I cut my hair. I regret it. I wish I hadn't. Now I can't do it curly-such an easy hair style to do. Oh well. It will grow.....I guess.

Stella

I SWORE I would never...............But the only thing that would heal my broken heart, was to fill that emptiness. I love animals too much, and wanted to give one a home that was in need of one. We adopted Stella (I named her). She is so cute. We are still trying to adjust. She is 6 months old, with a lot of energy. Her personality very different from Harley. She looks just like him, only not the same kind of breed. It is comforting to me because I look at her and I feel like a part of Harley is still here. We are still working on potty training. She is very playful and energetic. Very friendly and social. We are excited to have Stella in our home, and are happy that we can provide her a place where she will be loved.

We drove up to Jon's parents property up Ogden Canyon and took Stella with us. She loved it.


The new member of our family, Stella.





The only place I can get Stella to calm down from her hyperness, is when we are in the car. She is like a baby, once we start to drive around, she is out!! Sometimes she sleeps in the most odd positions!! Does not look comfortable to me!!


This is what happens when we are at home. She always wants attention and wants to play. She is a little stinker! She loves to rip things to shreds! Here we have, dog bones, toys, pieces of a cardboard box, a lufa (spelling?) she found somewhere, jon's cd's, and much more!!

I took Stella to my parent's house to play with their dog Daisy. She was a little too hyper for poor lil' Daisy.
Thanks to my mom who donated her new coat!! They bought it for Daisy and it was too big. She loves to wear it outside because it is freezing cold! When she is bored she will start to rip and bite it!

She is too funny. The other day we left her in the car (in the back seat) while we ran into our house to grab something/get a drink/go to the bathroom. We came back and she had shredded Jon's Jamba Juice cup and ate the rest (Lucky dog got a peanut butter smoothie!), and she finished off a brand new package I had opened and put in the passenger door, of Honey Roasted Peanuts!!

Thank You

Just wanted to say thank you for all of the thoughts and prayers regarding Harley. It helps to know that people are there to support us and care.
We are doing really well. I am especially surprised at how well I am doing. Knowing how emotional of a person I am, I had expected for my intense heart ache to have lasted a long time. I think normally it would have, but only because of the fasting, prayers, and blessing I received, have I been able to cope with our loss.
Thanks Everyone!!
