My friends...

I have actually been exercising the past few weeks, religiously, and today...I put on a pair of pants without having to lay on the bed, suck in (actually not breathe), pulllllllllllllll the button into the button hole and PRAY that when I stand up it won't pop out. It was above and beyond amazing! :) I can't tell by looking at myself that I've lost weight but that was a great feeling! :) I mean, they're still tight, don't get me wrong, but I got to put my pants on while standing up for the first time in quite a while! :) THANK YOU GYM! :) (& Karis of-course since she's kept me motivated for the gym).

Just wanted to share that with everyone! Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!

Pablo...

is getting neutered today!! Along with that he's getting a K-9 pulled, he still has one baby one and one adult on one side. He's getting his booster vaccines and he's getting some other things done so lets all pray for Pablo today that he does well and comes out of this a non-marking, non-humping puppy! :) If nothing else at-least the non-marking puppy!

While we're on the subject of prayer, can we all please life up a prayer for 2/3 Marines that are in Afghanistan? They're doing a great thing out there and today the Afghans the next few days are going to be very high tension there so lets all please say a prayer! If we could also lift up my cousin Caleb it would be greatly appreciated. He's in boot camp for the Marine Corps right now and has an upper respitory infection, thanks! I got to talk to Cameron today so I was ECSTATIC!!! He's doing GREAT! :) I haven't heard him in such high hopes in a while. It was a great conversation! Not too much longer and he'll be home! YaY!

Sorry...

I'm so sorry that I promised to blog more over the weekend but have failed to do so.

This weekend I was not up to par for anything. I've been out of work the past 2 days with some sort of stomach bug. The Dr. prescribed me some anti-nausea medicine which should be labeled as a narcotic as when I took it I slept from 10:30 that night until 2:00p.m. the next day. CRAZY.

Anyway...I've gotten a lot done around the house when not feeling too bad. I bought a coffee table at a yardsale on Sunday for $5.00. It was a wood color but had paint all over it and scratches all over it. I decided I would fix it up. Looking back I wish I would've taken a before picture but I didn't so...here is the after picture...

As you can see I've also done some rearranging of sorts to the house! :) I put pictures of all of the rearrangements on my picture site. So check it out! I don't have everyones e-mails to add them but you're welcome to stop in there anytime!

Quote of all quotes :)

"Give me the greatness of heart to see the difference between duty and his love for me. Give me understanding that I may know, when duty calls him he must go. Give me a task to do each day, to fill the time when he's away. Lord, when he's in a foreign land, keep him safe in your loving hand, and Lord, when duty is in the field, please protect him and be his shield. When deployment is long, be with me & keep me strong!" ---

I found this on a friends Facebook (FB) page and I REALLY love it. It is a great quote and just wanted to share it with all of you. I plan to be back blogging this weekend! I'm off until TUESDAY after 1 o'clock this afternoon, YaY! :) Sooo, hopefully I'll be catching up. There's been a lot going on so it'll be interesting to see if I can get it all down without missing anything!

Have a great day/weekend and I love and miss you all!!

Jenn Lancaster...

is the best writer ever! :) I've been reading a lot of different books lately than I'd ever pick out at the library or the book store. (You can look through my blogs to see the books.) The latest thing I've read have been the books by Jenn Lancaster and they're hilarious! :) Thanks to Jessica for posting a blog about them so that I picked them up to read them!!!

Finnnnnnnnally....

Pablo has finally stopped barking at me all night while he's in his crate. He doesn't even whine when he has to go in it when I leave anymore & I N.E.V.E.R thought that would E.V.E.R. happen.

I guess he's finally gotten used to it & I thought that it would be great that he doesn't bark anymore. The only thing is, now I'm worried he's not breathing or he's sick again. HELP. What on EARTH will I be like when Cameron and I have children?? I'll be the "worried to death" mother who is at the E.R. every other night yelling at the desk lady to "get my baby in there now, it's dying." I can already see it...Cameron will probably think I'm just a crazy ole' hag! :)

Anyway, it's amazing to not have to hear any barking anymore it definitely makes for a much more peaceful time when it's time to sleep!!
