I Have Chewers

For the first time ever I have dogs that enjoy chewing on things that are not their toys.  So far they have started eating door frames, drywall, and shoes...OMG the shoes.

Daenerys & Leonidas Tackle the Dog Door

Introducing Daenerys Lee Wilson

Introducing Daenerys Lee Wilson! 

Rob's co-worker rescued her from a rattlesnake pit from some awful kids that were poking at her with a stick.

She is likely a pup of a stray or wild dog and was probably born in the desert. No other puppies were found, she was all alone. We haven't taken her to the vet yet to determine age or breed, but we are guessing that at this point she is likely 7 weeks old, and probably a shepherd or heeler mix of some kind. I guess we'll find out with age.

She is a little fighter this one, smart as a whip with a personality to match. She's been happy to go in her crate, and doesn't have any accidents, and she sits to be fed. She responds to her name and also drops something she shouldn't have when we tell her "Eh-Eh". 

Leo & Dani get along famously and they are already almost inseparable. Can't wait to watch them grow up together!

Date Night

Today Robert and I had a nice date.  We saw the movie The Conjuring (I hate scary movies...this was definitely scary) then we had a great dinner at a BBQ restaurant, and we ended the night by playing Magic at Samurai comics.  Now we are just cuddling in bed and watching Netflix.  I feel so fortunate!

A Positive Update

This post is dedicated to everyone that has told me that I don't post anything positive. I am happier than I have ever been in my life. Sure, it's been a struggle starting all over in the last year, but it's been worth it. I've sold some possessions at times to afford more important bills, but it's not the norm. Robert and I have been married almost 6 months now, Leo is growing like a weed. We have a fantastic house, 2 awesome cars that are low maintenance. We both have great jobs with that we enjoy most days, and so many friends and family members that continue to be there for us. I look forward to becoming an aunt in the coming months because my sister Lacy is expecting her first. Rob and I have our spats and arguments, but we have so much fun and have been enjoying a new hobby of playing Magic The Gathering together. He makes me laugh constantly, and I feel so lucky to be married to my best friend. We can take on whatever life throws at us, and life HAS thrown quite a bit our way over the last year...we continue to persevere and overcome. We are happy, and blessed.

Leonidas & Daddy

I love my two fellas more than I can even explain! Leo is growing so fast! Slow down buddy!

RED

If you die from cuteness, I understand.

Moar Peersings!!!

Today Robert pierced both of my nostrils.  I absolutely love them.  I had recently retired my nape piercing and my scrumper.  My nape particularly to have it redone at a later date with better quality jewelry.
Anywho, here are my lovely new nostril piercings!  I'm all sorts of matchy!

Snuggling

Leonidas loves to snuggle with his momma.

Playing Some Magic

Leo wanted to join in on the game!

Additions To Our Reef Aquarium

Today Kyle and I went to The Ocean Floor to grab some new sea life for our reef tank.  We got Rob his very own colorful Sea Urchin

And we also got an awesome Fire Scallop that lights up to eat phyto plankton.  We named him Rob because he has a red beard. LOL

New Roommate

Tomorrow Rob and I will be letting our buddy Kyle Ward move in with us.  Today we moved in the aquarium, which fits rather nicely behind the couch.  Kyle has been our roommate in the past - over a year ago.  We are excited to help our buddy out and to hang out more!

Leo's House Guest

Leo has a furry friend staying with us for a week.  Milo is one of my past students and he's such a playful pitbull lab mix.  They get along so well, I swear they are best friends. 

Because I Can

Just in case you guys forgot about how much of a goofball I am, here's a reminder.

Jason's Wedding

Today Jason, Rob's best friend of over 10 years, got married today.  Rob was his best man, and Kyle (our soon to be roommate) was his Groomsman.  The pictures those boys took together had me cracking up.  I hung out with some other friends for most of the wedding since I was just a guest, so there isn't any photos of me.  But it was a good time.  Congratulations Jason and Leslie!

Happy Graduation Paige!

Today Lacy and I are heading up to Flagstaff to celebrate our cousin's graduation party!  I can't believe she's already old enough to graduate.  Crazy!

 About to tear the roads up!

So much Chipotle!

Robert Gets All of the Tattoos

So this happened today - I kinda love it.

FLOOD!

We are probably the only people in Arizona history in the middle of summer that managed to flood our entire house today.  Ridiculous.  That goes to show what happens when you get a hand-me-down washer/dryer.

Unemployed

Today I lost my job at Stream.  They said it was from poor attendance, but many of us speculate that it is because I have a workers comp case from my broken finger.  Because I had stellar attendance.  Oh well, I guess I need to find something better. But for now, I'm freaking out.  Guess I'm going to start donating plasma again.

Mortal Kombat!!!

So Rob decided to start his Mortal Kombat leg sleeve today.  Thank you Nic Mann for the amazing Scorpion!!

MtG

This wont mean much to many folks.  But Rob and I have decided to start playing Magic the Gathering again.  Let the nerdiness begin!

The Wolfpack

Day 2 without Rob.  He's in Vegas at his best friend's Bachelor party. They are a crazy bunch and I hope nothing bad happens.  So far it's sounded like an awesome trip, and I've gotten a couple photos from him.

 This was their view from their room.  49th floor of the Trump Tower

 And of course Rob got his vertical bridge repierced while we was out there.

Leo and I took some pictures while daddy was away!
