after 5 long months...

More details will come later.

Side Note: We couldn't be happier with our puppy, she is so fun to have around! She is potty training very quickly (2 days in a row with no accidents in the house). Now we just need to work with her on her biting, she bites everything in sight, including me! But she also is very sweet, I love when I get ready in the mornings she lays right on top of my feet. We love her very much and now we can't wait to add a baby to the family!

Let the Searching/Waiting begin!

That was fast!

We did it! We bought a puppy!

I can't believe it.This all happened so fast! I've always said no to a getting a puppy especially after babysitting my in-laws dog for 18 months, she was cute and all but she was not potty trained very well and it didn't help that we left her home while we were at work all day. Anyway the past couple weeks I have just started thinking about getting a puppy. I thought it would be really good to start our family and to have something to nurture and love especially during our waiting process for the adoption. (speaking of: they are submitting us for review next week!)

Well I knew I couldn't tell Remi until I was pretty sure because I knew he would be 100% YES! So two days ago I mentioned it to him and I don't think he took me too seriously. Then yesterday I brought it up again and began to search the internet on what kind of breed we wanted. I was on the internet all night long searching all different kinds of dogs, when we decided on a Welsh Terrier. Isn't she cute?!

Well at the time we thought we would wait until June to get a puppy {after our cruise, anyone want to babysit for a week? :) } but we called a local pet store today and they had one, so we drove there right away and fell in love!

Her name is Lilo

She was born 2.1.09

She's perfect

and she has been sleeping for the past two hours in her kennel with no whinning. I hope it lasts!

Seriously Considering...

am i crazy?

Trip to the Emergency Room

This was my very first trip to the Emergency room! I had to pay $100 for them to shove swabs down my throat and gag me. But they made up for it by taking me for a ride in a wheel chair. The end result ended up being a lot better than how I felt... Viral laryngitis.

Viral Laryngitis: is a swelling of the tissues around the vocal cords. As a result, your voice may be hoarse or perhaps you can only speak in a whisper.

I felt so dumb for having to go to the emergency room for a swollen throat, but where else can you go at midnight on a Saturday night. Luckily we got right in and didn't have to wait hardly at all. They tested me for strep which came back negative! And they took some x-rays of my throat. I'm glad that it only ended up being Laryngitis and hopefully I can get over this quickly. The doctor said that I can go to work, but to talk as little as possible. This makes things kind of awkward when your doing someones hair and you can barely talk to them.

I just have to say that I am so grateful for such a loving and caring husband. He has been so good to me these past few days and getting me everything that I need. I am also grateful for the Lortab that I am taking, it makes the pain go away, but it is sure kicking in right now and making me very loopy and tired. (I'm also grateful for spell check right now). :)

Before I take a nice long nap, I do have to say that I am so grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ!

Happy Easter!

For Rachael...

Last Sunday we went over to Remi's parents house for dinner. They were babysitting a few of their grandchildren while the parents were in Las Vegas. Well this is Jessica and lets just say that Grandma doesn't know how to do hair very well :) So Aunt Mindy saved the day. Jessica was so excited to show her mom that she wanted me to post it on my blog (sorry it's late Jess). Thanks for letting me do your hair, you are a darling girl. Love you!

4 years!

This is our annual temple trip. We decided to go to St. George this year for our 4th anniversary. My Grandparents have a second home there and it was nice of them to let us stay there. We were able to visit with some friends, go golfing, play games, watch movies, go swimming, out to eat, shopping, and of course go to the temple. We both had a ton of fun, and it was hard to come back to reality.

Hey Babe! I just wanted to let you know how much fun I had with you in St. George and how happy you make me. I can't believe we have been married for 4 years. You are such a great husband and I love you a ton! I'm excited to spend eternity with you! Happy Anniversary (on the 31st).
