Twims and such!

Steph this is just for you ;) Hey Twim, I love you!! I'm so glad you got a new lap top and I can't believe we got the same color and didn't even know it!!! 92 days until you are here!!


OH, Tony and Rae this one is for you from Zak. "If Tony and Rae don't get married in San Fransisco I am going to be Pissed!!!" Haha, I had to share that one with you, don't you love it when people plan your wedding for you??

Also, I am going to Conneticut to visit Todd, Steph, Jack and there newest addition Ryan who was born on October 13th! I am SO excited to meet Ryan and also FINALLY meet Jack, he is almost 2 years old. Not to mention seeing Todd and Steph :) So excited to see you guys and thanks for having me. (I stole this picture from the Winds website!)

I leave on the 14th and come back on the 17th...which brings me to my next point. WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN MARRIED FOR 1 YEAR!!! Can you beleive it? I think we are finally used to calling each other husband and wife. Our first year is almost over and we are excited about what will happen in the years to come. I love you Babe!!

Just some random thoughts

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!! Well I am once again home alone for the next 5 days, but my Husband bought me flowers before he left. It was to bribe me into not being upset that he was leaving, AGAIN! Here is a picture!


Also, SayD had to be knocked out this week due to an ear infection. SayD has always had chronic ear issues and we are constantly having to wash and treat her ears. Well recently we discovered her ear was filled with blood. So before it got any worse we took the little girl in and sure enough they knocked her out it was so bad. Now its going to get antibiotics in it once a day for awhile. They also, did a needle aspiration to test to see if a lump on her stomach was cancerous or not. Luckily, it is just a fatty lump! Zak and I think SayD is a lot older than we originally thought, which is 5. So there's that news and a cute picture of SayD!



Zak bought our Son a a sleeping bag....yeah that's what I said! I think it probably will be a good idea for when we go camping seeing as he has no hair and gets really cold! So here it is, good thing it was on sale!!

Also, Zeus has recently become kennel trained. He is doing SO well and being the cuddly dog he is LOVES being in his kennel. Of course we had to pimp it out a little and put stickers on it so he would still feel loved :)




And just because I didn't want Molly to feel left out, here is a picture of her doing her newest trick!

Family...

You know when times are rough there are only a few people in your life that you can ever really count on. Growing up it has always been My mom, dad and myself. I used to complain but when I hear stories about large families and the fights, RUMORS and sometimes not talking I get happy it was just us, Just the Three Amigos!! They have always been there for me and most of you probably don't understand our bond, we tell each other EVERYTHING!!! I know my mom and I haven't gone a day without talking 3-4 times a day, except maybe when I was on my honeymoon. But even then I was still emailing when I could!!! Now that Dad has become a hip guy and learned text messaging I send him a text message every day!! My family means everything to me and ALWAYS will. One thing I pride myself on is having a great relationship with my parents and never taking them for granted. I know my parents feel the same way about me...well at least I hope they are proud of what I have become?! Just kidding guys I know you are proud! I have you to Thank for the person I have become, so thank you love you!!!

In the last year getting married has joined two families into one and Zak and I have made our own family. I just wanted to take a second to express my feelings. From the beginning Peter and Libby excepted me with open arms and same goes for Simon and Jenni! I really and truly feel like part of the family, Thanks George's I love you and am happy to share your last name!

Okay now that is out in the open, how are things for everyone else???

Animal Witness: Michael Vick Case

They started a new show on Animal Planet about Animal's being "witness" to horrible and hainous crimes. The first show that aired was a special about the Micheal Vick case. Since Zak and I follow this case and the dogs closely many of you asked if we had watched it. When I first heard about it, I got all the information for the BAD RAP blog. (see link on the right) The GREAT people at BAD RAP said that there was a lot of actual dog fighting footage, some of which was actually footage of Vick's Dog's, I really hate calling them "his" dogs because he had no business owning them. Anyways before I go off about that, I wasn't orginally going to watch the show. On Friday night Zak and I decided to watch it, there really was A LOT of dog fighting too much if you ask me. I got really upset at one point and ran to my room crying and came out a few minutes later yelling about blowing peoples faces off and hoping Vick got killed in prison. It was very intense and I think that the show could have done without SO much fighting. It was good to watch the show and hear from people involved and actually hear how the investigation progressed. The last 20 minutes or so of the show is about some of the dogs that were rescued and rehabilitated most of which by BAD RAP and most of the dogs shown or the ones Zak and I follow closely in their blog which is also to the right called Vick's Rescue Dogs. So if you feel you can watch it, it is awesome to see these dogs proving EVERYONE wrong!!! Just thought I would let everyone know what we thought :) and Zeus too! Here are a few pictures of us after the show, I couldn't help but snuggle SO close and think about what horrible things those dogs went through. Good show, hope you can find it on a rerun sometime.




I also found this really neat 10 question quiz on the Animal Planet wesbite take it, seriously it took me about 2 mintues and I got 10 out of 10 right....can you??

Kimberly and Dylan's wedding

So I'm behind....what can I say I'm a student and housewife while holding down a 40 hour a week job, no to mention the kids who are always needing attention. Okay so that may have sounded like a line from Desperate Housewives (Have you been watching???) But I really and truly have been busy with school, which I will get to later. Here are the few pictures I have from the wedding which was in Zak's old stomping grounds of Sterling, CO home of the NJC miners??? No that's not right it's NJC Plainsmen. Sorry Zak! The weather was perfect and so was the wedding. I didn't take any pictures of the ceremony or too many of the reception. I'm sure those of you who weren't there and wish to see more can contact Kimberly once she gets her proofs back. I did make sure to take a picture of her and Dylan.Kimmer I LOVED your dress it was totally you :) Okay so here are those pictures.

The Mr. & Mrs.!!!!!


Zak was totally concentrated on stealing all the charms off the glasses at our table.

School is going good!!! I'm a total nerd I love reading and writing and I go home every night after work and study my brains out. Good thing we just upgraded to DVR so I don't miss my favorite shows!! I had my first paper due last week, piece of cake for me and it only had to be 3-5 pages, I went for 5 :) Also, I had my first exam last week and scored a 75% on, which I am fairly happy with considering it was the first test in that class and those are the worst. You never know what the actual test from the professor is going to be like plus there is always room for improvement!!
