Lexi

So Lexi is being such a mommy's girl today. She has been either on the couch arm rest next to me or above my head on the top of the couch all day! A few times in my lab. Even as I write this she is in my lap licking and biting my hand because I'm not petting her. I love these days! :o) I'm going to feel sooo bad when I have to go back to work. (that's the only thing that I'll feel bad about) I'm soooo desperate to get out of the house that I'm even applying for part time work. Hey, it's the same amount I make on unemployment, but it gets me out of the house!!

Anyways, here are some recent pics of Lexi....we did good when we picked her out!

puppy

This weekend I was really bored and 'lonely' (Erin was all about the video games) so, I decided I wanted a dog. :o) I think I spent about 2 hours looking at dogs online and researching what type would be good for us. Erin says we have to wait a while before we get a dog though. I want one before we have a kid or they suggest to wait until your kid is 7 or something. I looked at Labradors and Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers. :o) Those are the top one for kids and other animals. These are the sites I looked at.
Pets Without Parents - that's where we got Lexi
Pet Finder - I found a lot of cute puppies there too

Ah well...maybe after we get married we can get a puppy. Then I can take him/her on walks and maybe down to the river for walks. But it will make going out of town harder. I really want a puppy! Man, I need a job!

Also, fun news...I have another new cousin, or maybe it's second cousin, I call them all cousins. It's a baby girl born yesterday. :o) Poor Clayton is soooo out numbered now, there are 5 girls now and him. My other cousin is preg, maybe she will have a boy. I have another initial to make. YAY.

Oh and I think I picked out my wedding dress.... :o)

Honeymoon

For about 3 hours I have been searching for honeymoon ideas. I've searched Mexico, Hawaii, Florida - Disney. I've found some great hotels and ideas. But, I wanted to do something that isn't a lot of money and go where we haven't gone before. I remember Jens trip to Asheville, NC and all the fun stuff they got to do. My grandma went there once too and loved it. I figured...October, the weather would be really nice for all the out door stuff and I love doing all that kind of stuff. Plus, we could drive or fly and I found a hotel at a reasonable price. Plus with AAA we could get a discount on tickets.

So, I have a bunch of sites to show Erin when I run the idea by him tonight. Who knows....the only other idea I have is Cocoa Beach FL and asking my grandpa if we can stay in his condo. Then we would just need plan tickets and I found some for $77 a person or about $160 round trip per a person. Who knows....

stuff

I'm hopping that we get to go to the zoo on Thursday. I've been wanting to go since we moved here....2 years ago! I love my zoo back home and am interested in seeing this zoo. Erin can get discounted tickets at work and now the only issue is if it will rain or not. It's supposed to be in the 70's, but 50% chance of rain. I want to go before summer and durring the week....less people. So we will see....that's what I'm hoping we can go, but if not maybe next week...but at the same time we need to save up money for Jens next month. Hopefully gas costs stay low....UGH, I hope a job comes through soon!!

Job fair on Wednesday....I'm hoping something happens...

Wedding list....still need
dress (down to three choices, I just don't know yet....)
photographer (sending links to my dad today to look through)
cake (i think we found a cake person though)
favor/seating card stuff
Oh yeah....and figure out a honeymoon....

So we have a lot of things done...I mean we are down to 5 months next month. I'm sooo ready!

I did order a corset thing for under my dress. (even though I haven't picked the dress yet) I got it on sale for $14.99 from $60.00. It's a Dr Ray shapeware thing...he is from Dr. 90210. I figure for the cost it's worth a try. My aunt saw him on QVC the night before I tried on dresses and it's all she talked about.

Well back to laundry and crafts....I'm getting close to being done with our wedding sampler and the new blanket is on it's way...I really like it! I also need to get some new cloth and get an 'M' made for one of my cousins kids. My mom was working on it but doesn't have time to get it done, I have nothing but time, so I'm going to get it done for her.

Wedding gifts...

SO, We had talked about getting each other watches as a wedding gift to each other, or just doing something over our honeymoon. However, when Erin talked to our DJ, also his childhood friend, the friend mentioned catching a hockey game after the wedding. Erin was sooo excited when he relaid that to me. The friend thought it would be cool for us to all go in our wedding attire....I think NOT! At first I just looked at Erin wondering if he was really serious about relaying that to me. I told him it's my wedding night and you want me to go to a hockey game?! OR you want to go without me?! Then the next night I told him, maybe we could go, if everyone from out of town would want to, but that would be his gift and we would NOT go in our wedding attire. We will see though. They don't have the schedule up yet and I don't know if any of my friends would want to go. I am not even sure I want to go. :o)

Also, we keep talking about this house. I don't want to get too excited about it, but I am. Unfortunately I have had bad luck with jobs and what if my next job were to fall through....again. What if we can't get a loan? What if we can't get a down payment? What if?! I almost think we should go talk to a realtor sooner than later just to see where we stand and what to do over the next year to be in good shape. Who knows....

YAY

MOM AND DAD ARE MOVING HOME!! :O)

Harpers Island Recap

This is how bored I am these days....I'm going to start a Harper's Island Recap. :o)

The 'X' means they are dead, the '0' is who I think is the killer. (I know it's a little small and hard to read the pictures, but it you watch the show, you know who is dead. :o)

Right now I have the '0' on Jimmy....Beth's old flame from the island. I sort of thought maybe it was Hunter, but he was killed last night. Just think.....Jimmy conveniently didn't uncover the cousins body under the boat, remember he went in the water to get whatever ever was stuck out. He lives on the Island, so he knows where to kill these people, and no one is being found! Also, the boat thing last night...he works on the dock, owns a boat....But besides Kelly being killed, I'm thinking it's all a case of wrong place/wrong time, like he isn't doing this in any order.

I know I'm probably wrong. Maybe John Wakefield is alive, or Jimmy was his son.... :oP (my active imagination)

Who do you think it is?!
