Home Alone

When the hubby works late...

...it's mani/pedi spa night!

Just got a text from my hardworking husband that says I love you darlin'...makes me melt : )

Our Saturday Together

We spent Saturday outdoors going to Jake and Bayli's games.

This was the first day that it has been hot...and boy was it!

Hello, Florida Summner!

What a great day!

23

My 23rd birthday was probably the best yet! It wasn't one particular thing but the whole day that made it unforgettable!

(This is Forrest's hardcore look)

Forrest has been so busy at work (which we are so thankful for) that we haven't spent as much time together as we usually do. So when we set out on Friday night for a movie and shopping spree, yours truly was ecstatic. We, well I talked - he listened the whole way there and back! To make things even better, I woke up this morning and first thing I heard was "Happy Birthday Week Honey!" Can it get any better?

A Day For Love

This is how we celebrated the real Valentines Day!

The night included: homemade goodies, a movie, a PINK EYED husband and lots of hand washin'! No snugglin' around these parts. I was deathly afraid of getting the dreaded infection!

Romantic huh?

I think we are cursed this Valentines Day! We will try for better next year!

I don't know what got into me on Sunday, I baked and baked and baked. ALL DAY! (You would be proud though. I only ate one small cookie as a taste test)

Our Sick Puppy

.....Lexi hadn't eaten the chocolate covered strawberries! I didn't panic too much until Forrest got on the computer and googled how much chocolate is toxic for a dog. Well, our baby hit the limit. We called the emergency vet since it was late Saturday night and they said to give her 1/2 cup of hydrogen peroxide. We did that -half all over me and half down her throat....NOT FUN! They said this should make her throw up and get rid of the chocolate. It did but not for an hour later. She threw up most of the chocolate and then had dry heaves all night long. Sunday morning while getting ready for church I found bile with blood in it downstairs on our new floor! That's when we knew we had to take her in! We went to the vet where they gave her a shot for nausea and put her on a chicken and rice diet for the next 72 hours. We are at 24 hours out and still watching her close.

Teach us to have a romantic Valentines Day!

Sunday night not feeling well still

Monday morning feeling a little better
