Flashback to the 90's

After a rough Friday, Saturday morning I woke up and got ready to head to College Station. I got here and Megan, Kimberly and I headed to Chilli's for some grub before coming back and looking up wedding songs for quite some time. : ) After that we began getting ready for the 80's-90's party across the street. I wore a Chicago Bulls sweatshirt and crimped my hair and Kimberly wore a tye dyed shirt with leggings! Kimberly also did Jeremy's hair- I'll let the pictures explain themselves....

Today has been extremely lazy. All the girls have a really busy week so they have been gone studying all day. I went to Sams, TJ Max, Kohls, and Ross looking for my jars...still no luck. Now once again I am all alone. Pip and I are cuddling on the couch watching tv. I am going to go to bed early tonight so I can get a lot of rest for my big day at the career fair tomorrow! Justin got his first job out of college from the career fair...we can only pray the same will happen for me! : )

Bubby

He is gone.

April 4th, 1992-March 27th, 2009


He died in his sleep around 9:30 this morning.
I was very happy he went on his own.
I came home and told him bye and clung to the window until Dad took him away.
I have never lost an animal before.
The family is taking it very very badly.
We all haven't stopped crying...


Spent the night looking through old photos--
found some good ones
he truly was mans best friend

He will be missed.

My 1st Love

*Update*
Not doing well at all...still bleeding very badly...probably going to have to put him to sleep tomorrow if he makes it through the night...8 pm

Austin, my cocker spaniel was my first love. He was the best dog anyone could ask for. This morning my dad went to check on him and found blood everywhere. He has been bleeding internally and now is also externally bleeding. He is too old (17) to do surgery so they gave him so meds and wrapped him up and sent him home. I have been hysterical all afternoon. I came home and Dad wasnt home so I called him and he had to take him back to the vet- I am so upset and worried. I know he is 17 and that is a loonggg good life, but I have never lost a dog. He has been around as long as I can remember.

My Day @ The Zoo

Today was the third grade field trip to the zoo. We left at 8:30 and had to be back on the bus by 12:30. We didn't get to see a lot of the zoo but what we did see was so much fun!! Ill just add pictures because that is what is fun to look at!bald eagle- loved himbald eagle #2- he was soooo beautiful- he looked fakethe sleeping porcupine- his teeth were so odd- they don't look as prickly in real life as I would have expected

this was a blue tongue lizard-
I tried to make him stick out his tongue at me

Overall it was a great day at the zoo. I have been begging Justin to take me to the zoo for over 2 years now. I guess him waiting it out did him good because he got out of it. However, I didn't get to see the whole zoo so therefore we will have to go back... : )

Stinky Feet

There is a common joke amongst my family that mom's feet smell. Apparently to Pip, he doesn't mind it.

Our Future First Place & Tux Rentals

This weekend Justin and I got a lot done! Saturday morning we got up and headed to College Station. We unloaded all of Justin's stuff into Taylor & Eric's garage! (Thanks again!) After unloading the trailer we drove around and looked at some houses. I made Justin get out and walk through a few that weren't finished. We didn't like any of the floor plans though. So after that we headed over to Signature Park Apartments. I had been there before so they just gave me the keys so Justin and I could go look for ourselves. We walked around and decided to go for it. We would see what they had available for the beginning of April. Thankfully they had ONE first floor so we snagged it! It was so much fun filling out the application and what not- Justin had to mark "married" for the first time- I loved it! I am not sure Justin was so excited : ) So with that said Move In Day is April 4th!!! After we got all the paperwork done we headed back to Conroe to pick out the tuxs. My little baby is going to be so cute in his tux! I can hardly wait!I made him try on a jacket- much to his dismay-

I also took some pictures of him getting fitted because we joked that one day we can look back and say...WOW look how skinny you were when we got married! : )

So we are getting things done...only 116 days...

Stepping Stone
