ShareTweet Angus’ birthday was a couple days ago – he is 9 now!!! I still remember the first time I saw him like it was yesterday and the first time I held him. I was instantly in love with him and knew we’d be best friends. He’s my first baby and he’s been through SO much with me over the years. So many heartaches, so many joys and big changes. He was always there to lick my tears away when {Read More}
ShareTweet of popsicles. I know, random right? It’s something I constantly crave and have been for weeks. Months even maybe, I don’t know, I really don’t remember how long. Our freezer is overflowing with boxes of various flavors of popsicles though. Today is for sure a day when they are greatly appreciated. It reached about 80 degrees here and inside our house it’s been real toasty. What else have I been craving….root beer floats lately! I’ve only given in a {Read More}
ShareTweet Trimester that is!!! 3rd trimester already, O.M.G. So I truly suck at blogging. My first excuse was going to be that I’ve been busy, but come on, the baby isn’t even here yet! If I’m busy now, then what’s it going to be like once she’s born? Honestly though, yes things have been busy. I was sick with an ongoing cold of some sort for almost 2 months. Nasty. But I’m now feeling a lot better, just super tired {Read More}
ShareTweet Happy Birthday to our little Moose. I can’t believe our baby puppy is a year old today, and what a year it’s been for him. At only 8 weeks old, he had Parvo Virus which is usually fatal for such young dogs. Thankfully he made it through as we caught it early and we were able to quarantine him at home. Sadly, some of his siblings didn’t make it :( Then he was in our wedding, made the move {Read More}
ShareTweet ….and not enough hours in the day. Our house is in complete chaos right now. With trying to clear some stuff out, pack and get the house ready to sell, it just seems like there is too much to do and not enough time left to do it in. I walk into a room and don’t even know where to start. We have boxes and rubbermaid bins in every room, as we try to sort out what to keep, {Read More}
ShareTweet Just one guinea pig that is. Our little pig Ernest died today. We knew it was coming. He was old and very frail but he kept his spunky attitude right up to the last minute. Fro (who is a BIG pig) is our last remaining one. I think our guinea pig saga is coming to an end. Almost 2 years ago now, I got this *brilliant* idea to adopt a pair of older guinea pigs from a rescue org or {Read More}
ShareTweet I just recieved the first copy of my book today! *Excitement!!* It was such an awesome moment seeing it complete for the first time, the very moment I dreamed of for the last 17 months. It’s a little surreal seeing this entire book….with my name on the cover and my mini books inside it! This whole process has been eye opening and amazing, ever since I got the phone call from Christine Doyle at F & W Publications {Read More}
ShareTweet I turned 31 yesterday. I spent most of the day doing homework, working on projects and writing a speech for my class presentation. Fun stuff, lol. However, a special treat was that my best friend got to accompany me to school last night. Angus was part of my presentation in my Public Speaking Class so he came and spent the entire 3 hour class with me. He was as good as gold, never made a peep the entire {Read More}
