Our New Car

We got our new car to replace the truck. It's a Nissan Xterra and we love it. Ironically we found it in Las Vegas. Last Saturday morning we flew to Vegas, picked up the car, had lunch with some of my family then hit the road. We got home at 2:30 am Monday and went to work at 8:00. It took us 24 hours to drive back. That was a looooong drive

Due to Chris' split-second decisions to strengthen our relationship by spending more time together, we are now a one car family




The good news is no one was hurt. The bad news is Chris was the rear end of a three car pile up. The good news is we don't have to pay for the guys truck in the front. The bad news is the guy in the front wasn't suppose to be driving and got arrested. The good news is we get a new car. The bad news is the insurance company totaled my fancy truck. The best news is..... the accident happened because Chris got distracted by a sign that said "Free Food"

I can no longer claim I have a perfect dog

Some how our dog got ontop of our counter high kitchen table, ran around it leaving claw marks, threw Chris's scriptues on the floor, jumped down, and chewed up the scriptues. I guess he was just feasting upon the word.

It only took 6 years but I finally talked Chris into getting a dog. We got him from the Humane Society. He was a stray that someone found. You can see how skinny he is from living on the street. Someone must have owned him before though because he is pretty well behaved and is already house trained. They said he is a Beagle but I think he has some other mix in him.

Valuable Life Lessons

During my 26 years I have learned many things in my life that I would like to share with you....





I've learned how to properly apply makeup




I've learned how to sew boxer shorts



I've learned from my brother how to creatively change a diaper



Being married to Chris, I've learned to fully embrace Van Halen



But this weekend I've learned that you should never wear flip flops while mowing your lawn, especially after a weeks worth of thunderstorms

The grass was so wet, it took me twice as long to mow because the blades kept jamming.

This one's for Lisa Itris

Remember all those dances you use to drag me to and I always stood in the corner because I couldn't dance.....

To many Russia posts on this blog

I'm sure no one cares anymore about our Russia photos but three weeks of vacations adds up to lots of photos. So these are the last ones i'm putting on here.

Toppins a Bag

These birds were so cute. We ended up feeding them a whole package of crackers








I guess the bird wasn't smart enough to tell the difference between a finger and a piece of cracker.
