My Dogs

Thought I would post some pictures of why I work at an animal hospital - basically I would be broke if I didn't! Here are some pictures of my dog's "troubles"...

This is the top of Mansin's head - he had a cyst there that I had removed while he was boarding over the weekend - he now has 2 stitches.

This is Charlee's front "ankle" - she will lick her leg raw (this actually doesn't even look bad) so I have to apply tea tree oil every night because that is the only thing that she will not lick off.

Our first NFL game

So for Kevin's birthday - as many of you know - I bought him tickets to an NFL game in Arizona. Kev is a San Francisco 49ers fan but there was no way we were going to drive all the way to San Fran! So I started looking at the closest (and warmest) places, and that was Arizona - Well, as I was looking thru the schedule, it turns out that AZ was playing the 49ers in Arizona! I jumped on those tickets right away! I bought the cheapest tickets -which were nosebleed, but I was still really excited! So the game was last Monday and we took off late Saturday afternoon...after my all nighter with the puzzle...and spent a long relaxing weekend in Scottsdale Arizona. Monday afternoon we drove to Glendale (outside of Phoenix) where the stadium was. The place was HUGE! There are no words to explain and pictures don't do it justice, but here are some anyway...



Jordin Sparks sang the National Anthem which was awesome and then the opening kick-off the 49ers ran the ball back for a touchdown! We were so excited! What a way to start the game! We were lucky enough to have some 49ers fans around us so we didn't feel so alone when we wanted to cheer for them! It was a really great close game and a great "first timers" game (even though the 49ers ended up loosing!) and if you saw the game you know what I'm talkin' about! This is something we totally will do again! Here are some more random pics...

We drove back to Vegas on Tuesday and took a more "scenic" route. We drove thru Sedona and Flagstaff AZ. (Who knew places in AZ got snow? Not me!) Sedona was beautiful and we took our time drivin' thru and took lots of pictures - here are some of our fav's...

Insomnia

Tonight, or I should say, this morning, I am unable to sleep - again. So it has been this whole week. Not sure what is going on with me but it is rather frustrating. Anyone who knows me, knows I must get my sleep or I get very cranky. Anyway, so rather than laying in bed staring at the ceiling, I have decided to do something productive. Ever since I was a child I have been into puzzles. My dad "created" that in me I guess you could say. So, I dug a puzzle out of my closet and set to work. It is now 1:30 am and here is where I am.

After getting the border done and everything roughly seperated, I felt like there was something I was missing. And maybe it's lack of sleep, but when I realized what it was I broke down and cried really, really hard. I realized what I was missing was my "puzzle partner" - My Dad. I have never before been doing a late night puzzle by myself. Dad always had trouble sleeping as well and was only too happy to help me work on a puzzle. So, I just wanted to put my sadness of still missing him after all these years into words and say - Thanks dad for sharing and teaching me to enjoy this hobby thats getting me thru this very long night.

Halloween Wedding!

So last night we went to a wedding/Halloween party for Kevin's friend/co-worker, Sean. Everything was so beautiful with lots of fall colors.

When the new couple came out for the first dance everyone had bubbles and stood around them on the dance floor and "showered" them with bubbles...

After the wedding and the dinner everyone was asked to change into their costumes. I was pretty excited because I have been STRESSING over my costume because I had to make half of it! (Thanks Mom for being a good sport and trying to talk me thru it on the phone when all I wanted to do was fly you to Vegas to help me!!!) So I went as Princess Leia and Kevin was a Redneck...not much of a strech for him he said...haha. So we got ready and went back to the reception. Everyone loved our costumes and DIED when they saw Kevin - here's our before and after pics.

Kevin's costume was my idea and I regretted it...He got SO into character and would not get out! It got a little creepy after awhile...Here are some of our "poses"...

The bride and groom also got into costumes and it was the highlight of the night! We had a blast and it felt more like a Halloween party than a wedding! Here are some of our favorite pics of the bride and groom and some of the more "interesting" costumes of the guests!
