dear lola!

my poor puppy threw up 9 times today! She must not feel good! lol

First we were watching a movie on netflix (i was alone...the we were my puppies and me) and she started to do the sound and dance right before she threw up.  I was able to push her off the couch and onto the floor.  Anyways the next thing i knew she had thrown up 5 times! I have the weakest stomach so I was gagging trying to stop myself from throwing up that i managed to get the dogs and my phone to the stairs.  This is where we camped out for 30 minutes waiting for dj to come home.  However she threw up two more times on the stairs and we then were camping out in my closet! good thing i bought a house with a walk in closet! This is where we waited till my prince came home.  I left a note on the door saying come save us! He picked up all the throw up and came up stairs and admitted that they were gross. (this is huge because he never thinks anything is gross) then he was changing out of his work clothes and she threw up again.  Luckily, before she threw up again (she seems to throw up twice at time) he was able to get her to throw up in the toilet.  I have only been able to do that once myself...lol...so I guess 1 / 9 times in the toilet is a good odd!

we had to go to the grocery store so we put the dogs outside.  When we got home, we saw that she threw up one more time! Hopefully she doesnt throw up anymore!

(sorry i didnt take any pictures...NOT!)

one year anniversary

I cannot believe that we have been married for one year.  This time together has flown by and i am so glad I am where I am today because of him.  Yesterday we decided to get facials (my idea of course but he loved it...) then we went to a magic show in town and then we went to anniversary inn.  We staying in the swiss family robinson room (the one that is a tree house).  We did a few other things during the day like shopping lol...but not too much because was pretty tired from working the night before.  I couldn't have asked for anything else because yesterday was my first day off in 2 full weeks.  It was nice just to relax. 

We have accomplished so many things in one year!
-we served in young mens and young womans and went to youth conference and girls camp
-Rockie balboa passed beginning and intermediate puppy training class
-we got another puppy (lola loo) who has passed beginner puppy class
-we bought a house!!!!
-we are both going to school
-we have worked a total of 5 jobs at once
-we survived a near death experience
-been to california a couple of times (a big thing for dj since he grew up in utah)
-gone to new york and new jersey to visit my dad
-bought all new furniture
-had three fabulous birthday parties

that's all i can think of right now...

...to me it has been a fantastic year!

Life Right Now

I sure have been pretty busy lately.  With having three jobs, quitting two, finding a new one, moving into our house, school, and finaaly quitting another job...I finally feel like my life is going good!

We love our new house.  We almost unpacked every box before school started.  The only things left in boxes are extra picture frames and decorations.  (pictures to come later)

On Friday I quit the salon.  Today was my last day.  I hated having to work some Sundays and I really need to just have one job to focus on school and keeping up with homework.  This is my first semester doing online classes (18 credits!!!!!) and so far so good.  I definitely prefer classroom study but this is perfect for right now. 

Lately, I have become "one of those people" who coupon.  Except I do it in moderation.  Unlike the television show, I only buy what we need.  For example, my favorite eye shadow was on a mega sale last week and I only bought one.  The lady in front of me bought 15!!!! Doesn't she realize that makeup has a shelf life? My mom and I have been taking the money we save from couponing and donating to the temple fund President Monson talked about at general conference. 

This is what I bought today for less than $15. Poor DJ requested that I buy manly soup since he doesn't always like to smell girlie in the shower (I just have so much BBW soap :) )

I cut off 11 inches of my hair and donated it to locks of love.  So this isn't the best picture but oh well

MY PRINCESS! I have always been jealous of the relationship my husband has with Rockie.  Lately, Lola and I have gotten pretty close.  She follows me everywhere and will do whatever I say I love her! We took our dogs to pet smart and she didn't like getting a manicure! She was screaming so loud...it was pretty funny! Sorry Petsmart Groomer.  Rockie officially weighs 75 pounds and Lola weighs 15.  What a big difference.

This weekend is our anniversary! We decided to get our pictures taken! We have changed so much from our engagements.
