For Tanya and Billy

Tanya and Billy I thought I would share a picture of Mike's parents boxers; Java on the left and Bailey on the right. They truly are the greatest dogs and one of the best breeds with children. I can't wait till we get "Roxanne," we'll call her "Roxy the Boxy!"

DJ and His Deployment to Afghanistan

I met DJ Becker about 6 years ago at the Owl and Thistle, actually the same night I met Mike. DJ is a great friend of Mike's and has become a great friend of mine. He is a part of our wedding party but unfortunatly won't be able to attend the wedding due to his deployment to Afghanistan. I get choked up thinking about one, him being deployed, two his committment to our country and three how much we are going to miss him while he is gone. Our wedding won't be the same without him. In this picture is his lovely and beautiful wife Isabella who is greatly missing him already. Please keep them both in your thoughts and prayers as his journey begins. Feel free to follow DJ's Blog as his journaling of the experience is really cool. He is currently in training before he deploys to Afgganistan. We love you DJ! Godspeed.

Broken Camera...

Well, my camera had an accident over the holidays and I thought it was okay until I recently noticed if it's not super light wherever the picture is being taken it comes out dark. :( So sad...the accident with the camera was completly my fault and now I have to find some pot of gold to get a new one. I have already missed a few blog opportunites due to my broken camera. There are so many exciting things happening that I WILL need a camera to capture the moments.

Anybody know of a good camera that is priced rather cheap?

Well, once I find that pot of gold I will have more to blog about. Until then I will rely on all of your fun posts.

My Best Friend's Wedding....

Here's where it all began! As I am sitting here trying to work I can't help but be honest and say I'm thinking more about Kimberly and her special day! I can't wait for tomorrow and the next day...this has been 20 years in the making. She's just been waiting patiently for the right guy. And for those of you who have known Kimberly well, you know she's been planning this for a very long time. Things have changed here and there but she's always had the ideas constantly working in her head. Can't wait!!

She's a Great BFFAE!

I really liked this picture of us so I thought I'd give a shout out to my BFFAE. One week till it all "starts!" I can't wait, and I even have my speech done and written up. No chance this gal isn't showing up without something to refer back to! TOO nervous!

Val's Newest Addition...

Meet Reece, she's a lovable, floppy, sweet Doberman Pincher puppy. It might surprise some of you that I like this little girl because I was bitten by a family Doberman Pincher when I was 14. However, after meeting Reece I was reminded that it's all about how you raise your dog and not all Dobies are mean. I still like Boxers when it comes to big dogs though.

Daylight Savings Has Me All Dicombobulated

I'm at work...need I say more?

Yep, that's right for the first time in my professional life I forgot to brush my teeth today! Of course I had a meeting that started at 7am, luckily the local gas station had a toothbrush and toothpaste to purchase. Shew!

How do you moms do it?
