My dog is a genius.....

My dog Bella will bark at pretty much any animal she sees or hears on T.V. It can actually be quite annoying at times because we have to change the channel or she will not stop. Well Billy told me about a week ago a particular commercial came on when Bella was in the other room and she came running in the family room when she heard the music. This commercial has a dog in it of course. I didn't really believe it until the other night. Bella was asleep under some covers and this same commercial came on and she jumped out of the covers and charged the T.V. It was crazy! She knows that when she hears that song she will see the dog on the T.V. I found the commercial on you tube to do some testing. Sure enough every time I hit play she would freak out. What a smart puppy :)





Here is the commercial.....

Don't you hate it.........

When people take embarrassing vidoes of you? Billy has finally retired his NCAA College football game an moved on to boxing. I had to record him as he tried to make the guy on the tv move just like him. Isn't he cute?

Notice how he realizes he was caught? Dork :)

So much to talk about...

Over the past month a lot has happened. There was a wedding, a wedding shower, a baby shower and someone got preggers (no not me.....sigh), oh and a promotion. So instead of boring you all with a long paragraph of the past events I've created a little slide show for each one.



First up Aubrie and Ron got hitched! Here are some pictures I took of their big day! Included in this slide show are some pictures of we took of ourselves at their wedding with some statues that were outside of the reception center.

Next up my cute sister is getting married on Nov. 6. We threw her a "Naughty or Nice" shower. For our game we gave everyone a roll of toilet paper and if they had devil horns on they had to make a risque lingerie outfit. If they were wearing a halo they had to design a wedding gown. The outcome was hilarious. Tricia got some interesting gifts as well.....hee hee!

The baby shower was for my friend Tanji. She is having a baby boy! Congrats friend!

To put an end to this post, my sister-in-law is preggers and I am hoping its a boy. And as for the promotion, that would be my news. I moved departments at work back in May to Student Loans. About three weeks ago they promoted me to School Relationship Manager. Basically I create relationships with schools that we work with and also market ourselves to schools we wish to do business with. I will eventually get to travel to conferences to market ourselves as well. I am very excited about this position because I no longer work in a call center enviorment! YEAH!

Billy's exciting news ****** He graduates in May 2009 and with his class they get to travel outside of the country to tour companies and see how they operate. He found out two weeks ago that he will be going to Budapest and Prague for two weeks! He is super excited and I am super jealous because I have to stay home all alone :(

OH and ONE more thing.....my sister and her fiance went to my mom's house for dinner a few weeks ago and this is what we saw when they walked in.....

Oh we all had a good laugh. I guess the couples that dress together stay together. We love you guys though! Thanks for the laugh!

I DO....

Here is another clip of the last ten minutes of our ceremony. Don't worry I fell asleep too while watching it. :)

Nice moooves.....

We got our wedding video back a couple of weeks ago. I thought I would post a ten minute clip of everyone making a fool of themselves. Enjoy :)

Refridgerator-Rator!

The few of you who have been over to our house have probably laughed when you went into the kitchen because you saw this.......


Well I am excited to say that we have FINALLY purchased a fridge and I am so excited! Not only excited to have a normal size fridge, but to be able to eat something other than cereal and peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches. When you have a small fridge like this its hard to find a place to store left overs. There was pretty much room for milk, jam, a few drinks...and that was it.


Here is the fridge we bought. We get it on Thursday....Yipee!

Slumber Party!

All last week I had been so excited for the weekend to come because I got to have my niece Erin over for a slumber party! It was her first night away from home and she did so well. We had put her in our guest bedroom which is right next to our bedroom. Bryan and Camille told me to have a night light for her because she gets scared. The only thing I had was a light that was neon blue. Needless to say she did not like that and instead of comforting her it freaked her out more. We ended up putting her in the living room and turned the porch light on and she fell right asleep. I could not have asked for a more perfect house guest. She behaved so well. My brother and Camille have raised a great kid and I hope I turn out to be great parents like they are. Anyway I love my cute little niece and I can't wait to have her over again. Thanks Bryan and Camille for letting me have her for the night. Below are some pictures I took of our fun weekend.








OH....and while Erin took her afternoon nap I made my first Amish friendship bread! Now a normal person would not be excited about making bread, but I have never done it before so I was pleased with the outcome. It tasted delicous. It may not look all pretty or Martha Stewart like, but I was proud of the outcome with it being my first attempt at it. Thanks Elizabeth for giving me the starter!
