Lovely Day with the Husband.

Gary and I discussed what we wanted our Sunday to look like late Saturday night. I was excited but thought that we might be too tired or lazy to actually go through with any of it. Gary barely got six hours of sleep and I, myself, didn't get the most pleasured night of rest, but little did I know, we were QUITE productive. It has turned out to be such a lovely day with the husband!

First up - Breakfast at our favorite spot - Ruby's!

Next up - Picture Snapping at Dunning Springs!

Lastly - we headed to Phelps Park for more pictures....

and fun :-)

  

and PS - we trapped Chloe in to some pictures!

What else have we done today, you ask? We've finished half of our First Time Home Buyer Education program! Go us!

Pretty Puppies

Hunter and Chloe are so darn cute sometimes. I love taking pictures of them when they look so cute. Unfortunately for them, they are absolutely terrified of my new camera (and really, everyone's camera). Why on earth do they need to be so camera shy??

Here are some of the photos I was able to capture with my new camera. Gary had to hold her down...

Do I love my new camera so far? Holy cow, yes. YES.

Hunter & Chloe Snapshots

The puppies have been adorable lately so I thought I'd share some of the pictures I managed to take of them.

life will knock you down more than you can imagine. don't knock yourself down

Thank goodness for pumpkin pie. I dislike how I only have this ONCE every year. This will change in 2011 :) Gary, we are going to make pumpkin pie til it comes out our ears. Get excited.

Thanksgiving 2010 was a success and my favorite that I can remember. Mom made some really good food this year and I was quite satisfied all day on one meal (& constant nibbling)....until midnight that is :) Gary and I watched Home Alone while enjoying some Velvettttttta mac & cheese. YUM! Oh and mom's pumpkin pie? DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We also played a lot of games which was really fun. Yes, the first game got everyone a little heated but hey, it was the first time for 5 of us. Next time will be better.

Though it's now after Thanksgiving I might as well say what I am thankful for (in no particular order)

Gary Spice - I am so lucky to have him in my life and though I annoy him & vis/versa basically all the time, we are going to have the best life ever. I'm excited to get married and move away and start new jobs and have babies....It's going to be great.

Noodles - I'm not fat nor will noodles ever make me fat. :)

Hunter & Chloe - I'm not the biggest fan of their kind buuuuuutttttt they make sunny and dreary days alike so much better. they are sweet and fun and adorable. Speaking of....Here comes Chloe! I am not thankful that they bark so much or beg at my feet whenever I eat.

Fareway - I LOVE to buy from Fareway. Best grocery store ever (except they don't carry everything I want)

Michael Connelly - He has kept me quite busy and less unhappy which is always good. I am 4 books down so far.

Job security - I still have a job and will start babysitting for the Thompson's this week. I need to remember this when I start hating my job again. Right now I'm good :)

TV - I love watching TV. I can't help it. Channels 2,7,9,26, 29, 36, 45, 46, 49, 57, 64...I love thee.

Family - I've got the best family around. I wish I could see everyone more often. This is one of the biggest reasons I need a vehicle.

My legs - I can walk. I can at least do this when I can't drive.

Money - though I don't have a lot, I have enough to pay my bills and go out to eat occasionally :) Next year I will say that I am thankful for learning how to better save my dollas...

etc, etc. There are so many other things I can be thankful for but I am hitting a wall.
