A New Family Member!

Well a few days ago we welcomed a new member into our home. His name is Jake and he is a German Sheppard! We sure were happy to get him! He is so cute!






However, I was ready to kill him the day after he moved in… His first night here he managed to break a window out of the shed, ruin a door and pee several times in the house, which in turn made Styx pee in the house. Oh and got of his collar and was waiting for Josh by the door in the morning…

Jake was my cousin Amy’s dog. It was love at first sight for Josh! Every time we went over to their house he was sure to tell them whenever they wanted to get rid of Jake he would take them… and what do you know a few months later he was moving in!

He defiantly does a lot better outside than in! Today we bought him a new toy from Petco… but he doesn’t like it much… I’m hoping tomorrow wont be too cold so that I can take him for a walk before I have to go to work! He’ll probably end up taking me for a walk though… I mean he almost knocked me over today when I was trying to get in my car! So lets hope for the best and pray he doesn’t drag me across town!

Back on Track

Well I’ve finally got myself back on track with working out! Josh bought the P90X and it sure is a workout. I’m only on my second day but I can feel it working already. I think that I maybe able to stick to this workout for a couple of reasons.

1. Josh is doing it with me
2. It burns while doing it but I’m not sore the next day
3. I know several people doing the same workout so it’s kinda like we are all doing it together
4. I’m really excited to get that beach body in 90 days!

So for the next 90 days I am going to spend at least an hour working out and getting into phenomenal shape! And I’m sure hope that is works because we took before pictures and mine well they disgusted me! I know I’m my own worst critic, but I really believe it’s time to do something about my body and what a better time than right before summer! Because as long as I get the beach body in 90 days I will be looken good by the middle of May. Now I’ve seen that some people had to do it another round before they received their beach body but hopefully mine will be here in 90 days! Keep your fingers crossed!

Early Valentine Dinner

Last night Josh and I celebrated part of valentines together... I made him his surprise!

Yep that's right! Valentine cookies!

I also made him dinner... I made shrimp scampi and we also had a salad and rolls. It was the first time I made it, but I'm pretty sure it turned out great!

Yeah I know looks good! Right?

Tag! Your It!

This is a fun tag I read on Danielle's blog page.


Here are the instructions from her sis-in-law...
"Here's what you have to do: Look in your pictures folder, and open up the fifth folder. In the fifth folder, you have to upload the fifth picture. It's really that simple. Then, underneath it, explain the pic and pass it on.

This picture was when Grace and I were just hanging out at my house and haveing a few drinks... It was a kinda boring night. It was just real relaxed and we fell asleep before 11... lol

Short Week

So this is a short week for me at work. I only have one more day and then it's a five day weekend! Whoo Hoo!!! Well besides working at the mall part-time but that doesn't really count! I love the fact of knowing your getting paid to be at work when your not even there! Thank the lord for holiday and vacation pay! Thursday I am going to spend my day making part of Josh's Valentine! I can't tell you what it is because he read this... lol I also am going to go get him something. Sounds bad but I'm still not very sure what I will get him... any ideas? Friday morning I have a doctor's appointment. They are going to look at my heart because I have a heart murmur... I'm not too worried though... I think it is just going to be like a routine check up... although when I get there I will probably be a little more nerves because I have to do it in the hospital. Then in the afternoon the fun starts! Some of my girl friends are going to come and pick me up and we are going to party like rock stars! It's a girls night and it is going to be a blast!
