Stoli is now an "it" dog...

So we made an appointment for Stoli to get spayed this past Friday. Well... We took her in at 8 am and had a quick check up on her because she had puked in her kennel a few times this week--- Verdict is... acid reflux. We changed her treats about a week ago and I think that has something to do with it... But they gave us some meds to give to her at bedtime to see if that will help. Ugh. Well onto the next fun news. So, when we went I was half asleep and they handed me the paperwork to fill out. One of the papers was about "blood work" so me and my half asleep self didn't really get "clarification" or really "read" the paper and opted to get the bloodwork done. I thought that it came with the price quote they gave me for the spay. I WAS WRONG!!! I might be able to laugh about it in a minute... but when I got the call that Stoli was out of surgery and doing fine and also the "total" bill I about DIED! We were quoted $150 and yes I paid $275. I have learned my lesson and the papers they have you fill out and talk about "blood work" is NOT included. I just got up-sold and didn't even know it!

After we dropped Stoli off at the Vet we came home and I got ready and left for work. On my way to work I checked my Facebook-- Oh iPhone how I love thee. When I checked my Facebook I found out that my Dad and oldest brother were on their way down from Coeur D' Alene! What a surprise! First thought that came to mind... I am SOOO glad I had my OCD cleaning spree earlier this week! I called my Dad and found out what time they would be in Utah and asked if they wanted to stay the night at our house that night so we could actually get to spend time with them because I work all weekend every weekend. The answer was yes! I called Tim and asked him to do a quick clean-up of the house and what not. I came home on my lunch to help him- and opened up the door to the kitchen cleaned, carpets vaccuamed, laundry going, and floors swept! What a wonderful caring husband I have!

Tim went and picked up our pup. She is normally spazzed out and what a shock it was to see her after surgery! When my Dad and bro got to the house she just curled up and was totally doped up. I don't like to see my dog like that but what a nice change for a minute! She is pretty much back to her normal self today-- not 100% but doing good.

Well thats all for now

Things I love Thursday

This picture pretty much says it all... But I love the sunsets and the Ocean-- Together is the best combination ever. I just flew out to California and took a road trip from Sacramento to Santa Rosa then onto Eureka for my friends wedding. I wasn't able to see the Ocean but being SOOO close made me realize how much I miss being in at least driving distance to it! My trip was amazing and refreshing, I was able to see a ton of old friends and also able to see some beautiful scenery. So this Thursday.... I am reflecting on how much I LOVE the Ocean and Sunsets.

What is something you Love??

Lets see if this works

Ok... So I am starting to follow suit... and make up random things to blog about for everyday of the week. Maybe in hopes that I will actually keep up with blogging :) Well here it goes! Feel free to join in!

Wisdom teeth

A week after we moved into our new place I had my wisdom teeth removed. This picture pretty much explains it all! I came out of the surgery and wasn't feeling too bad-- I guess I was comic relief for the nurses. All I remember is Tim walking back to the recovery area and started laughing because I was trying to talk and couldn't because my mouth was full of gauze. Tim went and got the truck and pulled it around the back and the nurse walked me out --- looked at Tim and said "she's FUNNY!!" When I went back I was talking to the nurse about it she said I was one of the few that wasn't crying on the way out of surgery. Well... What do you expect? I like to make people laugh even if I am in all sorts of pain!

So the picture-- I have to thank my dear sweet hubby for that one. He was such a trooper in taking care of me. He put me to bed and gave me my frozen peas and pillows and blankets and told me to rest... Later did I find this picture on his phone... Thanks babe!!!

Our new house

We moved into base housing and here is a picture of the outside. It is a duplex 2 bed 1 1/2 bath we love it! We have a good sized back yard and awesome neighbors. I haven't taken any pictures of the inside of the house to post yet because I keep changing my mind with decorating :) We are getting a new couch and what not this weekend so maybe I will post then.

Tim also got a new "toy" that would be the truck in the driveway... More pics of big blue will come later as well.

New Addition...

Well.... I thought I would finally break my no posting streak with an announcement...

WE HAVE A NEW ADDITION!!

Her name is Stoli... She is an energetic Weimaraner. This cute little (50 pound) bundle of joy has changed our lives.

Here are some pictures of our little baby girl...

....hopeful....

My cousins son was in a head on collision this past Saturday in Missoula Montana. He was life flighted to a hospital in Seattle. He is in a drug induced coma with brain injuries and too many injuries to even list. I hate posting such sad posts but he and his family are in need of your prayers. My Dad sent me the picture of the car yesterday and my immediate response was "holy hell!!! I have no idea how anyone made it out alive!" There are three people involved in the accident- Him, his girlfriend, and the driver in the other car. His girlfriend and the other driver are doing fair. They are both still in the hospital and looking at a long recovery.

I am posting this in hopes that you will keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

much love
