June 17



(seventeen, one of my lucky numbers)
This little man came into our lives. His litter consisted of 8 fawn boxers-6 girls and 2 boys. The big fat male was spoken for. That left minimal chance that Steven would pick the only other male. We went with an open mind. I liked Fat Girl (she was um, fat!) and Steven liked Fuzzy Boy. The owner named each one according to their looks and personality. Zane was the softest of them all-he still is unusually soft. Steven was attracted to him right away before knowing he was a male. We toyed around with which one we wanted. Steven was set on a boy. So, I picked Fuzzy boy up to my face and said you better do something special because I want Fat Girl. He then put his paw on my cheek and looked me straight in the eye. Hey! that is a lot for a 3 week old. So, we went with Fuzzy Boy the runt. Little did we know that runt would be a massive 72lbs of muscle and turn into a very large boxer boy. Here they are lounging around at 3 weeks!

Flash back Friday!



When in Rome, do as the Romans! We took a 7 day tour of Italy (Rome, Venice, Florence/Pisa, Sienna and a few pit stops in between back in 2006. Here we are outside the Colosseum. AWESOME place! It's amazing how much history the rest of the world has documented. We took a guided walking tour, hence the headsets, and then spent the day in town. It was freezing! I loved all the sights and culture.

Happy Birthday Steven!






Happy Birthday Steven! You're another year older and another year wiser! I'm so proud of all your accomplishments with your dream business over the last year. You've made wonderful choices for your business and our family. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us down the road. I hope 2010 rocks for us, just like you told me 2006 would rock for me. I love you! Zane woofs you too!


I will totally get back to our Valentine's Day when the mystery person next to us at lunch sends them to me. (details coming)

Flashback Friday!



The best time in my life, hands down, was college! If I could go back, I would in a heartbeat. I loved the entire 4 years of experiences although most of mine were spent in the Library (no lie). I loved everything about who I was, the people I surrounded myself with-all of them, the atmosphere and absolutely treasure the experience. Those were the days!

Thursday Thoughts!

It's February a.k.a. the month of love! My thoughts for today are NOT my own but 3 famous quotes I personally LOVE!

Accept everything about yourself -- I mean everything, You are you and that is the beginning and the end -- no apologies, no regrets.
-Clark Moustakas

Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.
- Mother Teresa

There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.
-Carrie Bradshaw Sex & The City

Eat, Chat, Drool....


This Saturday, February 6, I am inviting all you ladies to come join me and my girls at Jason's Deli for lunch and chatting! You know it will be fun! What better way to get a large group together than to eat, talk and drool. Drool? Yep, because we are going to see a hottie known as Channing Tatum in the fabulous Nicholas Sparks novel turned movie DEAR JOHN! Ok, so if you don't think he is cute you will be drooling as in tears because it's supposed to be that good!
Friends+ Lunch+Nicholas Sparks movie= fun times!

So, grab a gal pal or come alone (you know most of us anyways) and RSVP via my FB invitation or email.
