My Mom's New Puppy

Since the old chihuahua, Sugar, had to be put down not too long ago (she was 14 years old), my mom decided to get a new dog. She got a black pug puppy and my brother named him Wickett. Here's a photo of the cute little bugger.

Yesterday, Jamie and I took Josh to the Cleveland Zoo. We called Jamie's Dad (Grandpa Allen to Josh) to go with us, and we picked him up on the way. It was a perfect day for walking around the zoo. After a short rain not long after we got there, it was cool and breezy for the rest of the day. We saw a lot of interesting things, had a lot of laughs, and my legs hurt this morning from walking uphill! :) Here are a few of the photos, and the entire collection is posted on my Facebook.

Preparing for Dallas....

I leave on August 26th to go to Dallas for a couple weeks. I know I was just there a matter of months ago, but it seems so long! The day I arrive there, I have a Sam Houston Middle School Reunion to attend (yes, I said Middle School). It started out that another classmate and I were going to be in town at the same time, so a small group of us decided to get together. A few more people were invited here and there, and it began to grow, so we decided to open it up to everyone. We posted it on Facebook, and now we're looking at a group of 30+ people. Exciting! The rest of that week will consist of spending time with my mom, grandma and brother.

Jamie arrives on August 31st, and then we have a busy week! The Dallas Aquarium, The Fort Worth Zoo, Downtown Dallas, dinner with my cousins Jennifer Jallo and Rhonda Boren, dinner with a few friends, and a Labor Day block party to finish off the week. Then we head back, and I get busy with the fall wedding season. So, I'm going to enjoy every minute of this vacation!

We'll post pictures! :)

Photos :: Our House (so far)

Living Room & Bathroom #1 are coming together nicely. Still a few touches to add here and there, but one thing at a time! Here are a few photos so far. Bedrooms, kitchen, downstairs office and upstairs space coming soon....

Photos :: Labor Day '08

This week I've been making plans to visit Dallas over the Labor Day holiday, and it reminded me of our trip to Detroit last year for Labor Day. We went to see Jamie's family; Allen,Pat, Mike & Brian. We spent the day there, ate brunch, relaxed during the afternoon in the condo, then went out to some downtown bars later in the evening. We got a few great pictures from that weekend and I wasn't able to share them until now. :)
