Week Of Love: Day 2 & 3

Day 2:

We thought we would send a little love package to my nephew who is currently in the M.T.C. He is going to be there for 9 weeks before he leaves for Paraguay, and have heard he was pretty lonely over there. So we thought it would be fun for him if he received a little love package in his mailbox...I just wish I could call him to see if he liked it!

Day 3:

There is a lot of love going on in our house since we got this handsome boy. This is from last night after Brian had gotten home from work.....I guess they were both a little tired. And yes my dog does have two eyes, but you can only see one.

Week Of Love: Day 1

I thought I would start the "Week Of Love" week with a little lovely joy when people passed by our home. This wreath has done the trick! I made it at work one night, and loved it so much that I bought all for my little bitty self! It definently will spread love around the neighborhood, and since this will probably be the last holiday spent in our home I thought it would be fun to show it off for once.

Meet Mr. Wattson

First of all this is not April. This is Brian her husband. She for some reason has been slacking on updating her blog, so I am hijacking it for today.

On to more important news... we got a dog, a while ago, January 5th to be exact. These are pictures of Mr. Wattson. He is a miniature schnauzer. He should be in the 15-18 lb range, and does not shed. We really like this, the only down side is that you have to take them to get their hair cut every so often.

Any way here he is after we first got him.

Now how about some more recent pictures, as of Jan 25th. Notice he is growing a bit. I tried to get a picture by the same toy so you can get a little idea about how much he is growing.

(Notice the not so minty rope bone, it is just a little smaller in comparison to the picture taken a few weeks ago)

Well that is the end of this post. Hopefully I don't have to do this again. He is so fun, April and I can hardly imagine how we managed with out him. Just imagine how we will be once we finally have our own kids, and no unfortunately that is not a sneaky way of saying we are expecting any. That is some thing for another post, on another day.

Have fun with these,

-Brian

When You Wish Upon A Star.....

With Christmas being this I realized I needed a little bit of a happier posts than my lasts I thought I would share with you a few wishes on my wishiest of wishlists....Hopefully Brian will read this.....

1. These might be one of the most fabulous boots I have ever seen in my life, but I might have to give my own life for them. Anthropologie you pricey people you.....

2. Breakfast At Tiffany's, I don't think there needs to be an explanation

3. This jacket would keep me warm on those cold wintery days in Utah, and well I would look fabulous in it.

4. I asked Santa for a puppy, and he told me I had been naughty all year, so he wouldn't bring me one. I really havn't been naughty...I promise.

5. And a couple of these please!!!!! Do you think these babies will be comfortable in his bag coming down the chimney? I think they will be!

Black Friday why are you so ugly looking?

I work in retail, whoopee. So I was one of the lovely ladies that said "did you get everything you needed?" or "thanks for coming in see you later", yep that was me, the red head behind the counter all day. Taking your money, wrapping, bagging, smiling all day....

At the end of the day my thoughts went to other scenerios that I wish I could of said today, for example....

1. No I do not like working here, please stop asking me

2. No I don't want to see you come back in again, in fact I didn't want to see you at all today

3. Yes that is our last one on the wall, and NO I do not want to get it down for you, in fact I'd rather cut my legs off

4. I don't care if you are decorating your mantel, don't ask me to come over and do it for you, figure it out yourself

5. YES! I did put your discount in! and YES I am going to stamp your rewards card! and YES I want to reach across the counter and slap your silly little face off

6. To the lady who went into the office and took the stocking, I wanted to reach my short arm across the counter and punch you in the face. Then I wanted to tell you that we do not take things that don't belong to us, especially if it is a room where your not aloud. So don't ever do that again.

Thank you for shopping with us and have a great day.

P.S. To the people who tried knocking on the door to let them in after closing, GO AWAY! There is reason why we locked the doors.

Brian told me I am not being very nice, and way to be in the Christmas Spirit, BAH HUMBUG!

Really I wish I had some babies so I could be one of the ladies standing in line at 4 a.m., asking to get things down for them, taking stockings, and making sure I got my discount and my rewards punched....But alas, that is not my fate today, maybe next year, maybe next year. To all the mom's I am JEALOUS, that right you heard it JEALOUS! Someone give me some babies!

Happy Black Friday!

Rah, Rah, Rah.....

This is late but we went to the BYU game on Saturday and it was a lot of fun. Our friends Miles and Kris came, who are visiting from England, and we had a spectacular time. We had great seats, North endzone 2nd row right next to the cannon. Which is a lot louder when you are sitting right next to it. Good thing BYU won because it was cold! Go Cougars!
