Ode to Lolita

So I love all of my sisters. I mean if you know my sisters how can't you, really? But there is Loralee and of all of my sisters we are most the most alike, kindred spirits. So I just have to say that I miss her like crazy. I call her at least once and day if not more. I have to tell her all of the nutty random things that I do. And of course talk to her about all of my frustrations. So I love her SO much that I get jealous when she is with other people, even if they are my own sisters that are with her.
She is the most amazing person ever. I LOVE HER!!! All right I am done now...
And to my other sisters, I love you just as much too. I am blessed to have such an amazing family. And I am so excited to see you all so soon for our Girls Getaway!

New Goal

So my new goal is Birthday's. If I physically see you I am great at remembering them. But everyone else is neglected. So starting May I will be doing my best to get cards out! I love getting a card and I love giving cards so I am super excited!!!

So yesterday I didn't have to work. We decided to have some fun. YARD WORK (the joys of owning a home)!!! While Vance was working in the backyard I took on the front yard. I did an amazing job at mowing my front yard. Because I am SO nice I decided to mow my neighbors yard(Nice meaning I didn't want an ugly yard next to my nice yard). Well half way through their yard I feel this burning pain on my foot(Did I mention I was barefoot?). I looked down to find fireants on my left foot. I killed the mower and in a panic ran to the front door, which was locked. Ran to the back gate to find the padlock locked. I was in such a panic that I was not capable of getting the code in properly to open the garage door. So I am running frantically back and forth my house yelling crazy things trying to get him to open the door. At this point I am thinking my neighbors think that there is some domestic dispute occuring.
**So side note some of you may not know but I have severe reactions to pretty much any biting bug. Hence the dislike for camping or anything like that.**
So I ended up going to Care Now and got two shots. And have since been doped up on Benadryl. And my neighbors yard is only half mowed. And that is my exciting story.

I have pictures from Valentines Day, just haven't posted them!
I have pictures of the puppies, just haven't posted them!
I have pictures of all of the things we have finished on the house, just haven't posted them!

I am pretty sure that I am a lazy bum. In other news Vance turned 27 on Sunday. We had a birthday bash that was totally wicked. Good food, great people and lots of laughs. Tuesday night he left for New Mexico (somewhere near Santa Fe, and yes I started to sing the song) to go snowboarding. He will be back sometime on Saturday...Sunday...maybe never. He LOVES snow + boarding just about as much as me. I had to pleasure of taking Chuck to the vet for his last shots. I felt bad leaving Elsie home that I thought what the heck lets take them both...I am stupid. My puppies may be small in stature but they are crazy. They love people and other animals. So naturally they wanted to meet everyone and thing. NEVER NEVER NEVER AGAIN. That was the longest hour of my life. Chuck now out weighs Elsie by 2 pounds! Love it. Elsie is just crazy and became more crazy when she got spayed. The doctors say she won't calm down for about 6 months. Chuck is the snuggler of the group and also our little guardian. I will find him in his room next to the window barking at the people outside. Can the people hear him, no! But the poor guy can't catch a break from Elsie. She will wait for him to come outside to go to the bathroom. He has to brace himself for the attack he faces once he leaves the house. And no matter how fast he runs he can't keep up with her yet. Elsie prances around the back yard with her head in the air like a brat taunting Chuck with "you can't catch me." Ok enough about my pups. I love them but no one really wants to read about that. I am going to sleep now I think.

It is official!!!!

Vance and I will be going to Cancun, Mexico in September!!! And this is all thanks to two amazing sisters who we will be going with. By the time we go we will be married just about 4 years and not had a real trip of honeymoon and I am thinking that this is long over due!!!! And I am pretty sure that there are not enough exclamation points to show how excited I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So my checklist to prepare is this...
Save, save, save money (Starting the budget tonight)
Work out a ton (I have my work out buddies and am getting my gym membership today)
Get a tan (People tell me how much they like my porcelain skin)
Find cute swimwear and sundresses (would love suggestions)

Ok now I need to take some very deep breathes...

I came home from a long day of work to this...

a trip

So Vance and I have been thinking that it is about time that we take a trip together, alone! This has been attempted many a times, but people just seem to want to get married. So yesterday I spent a good half of the afternoon looking up various vacation spots. We are thinking of going to San Padre Island down in southwest Texas. YAYA!!!!! BUT we got a call late last night ...Kent (Vance's brother) is getting married in June. Go figure. I pretty much screamed.
