Announcement!

A visit to the doctor revealed quite a few finds about the new baby. One being the baby's due date has changed from Feb 9th to Feb 4th. Works for me. The earlier bird catches the worm. Another find is it's a girl! I'm happy with it especially since I am a girl and I already have a girl with 11 yrs of training under my belt. I might need a refresher on the the new baby stuff they have out there but I think I'll survive. My husband is happy as well because he wanted a girl. Now it's time to toss around some names. I already had a few in mind but we have yet to agree and he needs time to think about it. I'm going to be patient since I was able to name my first daughter all by myself so I guess I have to share since he is my husband and co-creator.

Along time Blogging.

It's been a long time since I blogged but I blame it on Facebook. Ever since I joined I neglected the blog. Since there are people who do keep up with the blog I should announce some news since the last time. Ahem...My husband and I bought a house. I'm a home owner whoppeee!!. Also I am with child. Pregnant I said. 3 months along and feel tired but that's slowly easing up. So much has changed in this 2009 year. I knew it once the new year came that what I prayed for would come to me. So the blessing have been abundant and I'm a extremely thankful to GOD for the gifts. I still need prayer so those who pray for me continue and those who haven't start praying, start. See the picture of my new house. Yippee!

This Puppy is evil

It's been two weeks and I'm losing my patience with this dog. She chews and bites too much for me. She bit me quite a few times. She jumps up and she's peeing too much in my house. You take her out to pee and in 5 minutes she pees in the house. I'm losing my mind and I'm more tired than every. I need the Dog whisperer. I been watching his show and I now I'm a pack leader but my daughter and husband not so much. She looks cute then becomes a terror. My husband has less patience then me and has many of times in anger threatened to get rid of the dog. She's also an escape artist. We had her in a pen and she learned how to jump out of that. Then my husband built a cover and she got out of that. I'm just going to leave her in the crate instead and she''l have to pee when someone gets home. She won't pee in her crate and she's held it at night for at least 8 hours. Once she's out of the crate she's a crazy puppy. Don't let that cute face fool ya! Brownie the Barbarian.

The newest arrival to our Family

Our newest addition, Brownie, will arrive on Thursday Nov 18th and I'm still in shock. I am a little worried since this is my first time as an adult being responsible for a new puppy. As a kid you started out thinking how cool and fun and by the weeks end the puppy has become a chore. So, I know Anya will not be as repsonsible especially since she still is hesitant to handle the puppy and on our visit to the shop we got a real good look at the energy the puppy has.

Oh my!

So tomorrow I'm looking for a pup playpen to put in the garage so while we are at work she'll have some room to roam but not totally destroy the place. And to think my husband wanted to leave the pup in the kitchen with a couple of baby gates to keep her out of the rest of the house. I don't think so. I know as time goes by and with the training she'll be less troublesome and in due time will grow out of the chewing stage, I can enjoy her as I envisioned. Please pray for me for I know not what I've done

I need a vacation from my vacation

I did enjoy myself alot on my Disney Cruise. Even though we were supposed to go to the Eastern Caribbean but Hurricane Paloma changed our plans. The itinerary changed 1 day before we left. We ended up in the Western Caribbean going to Disney's private Island Castaway Cay, Cozumel, Costa Maya, & Castaway Cay again with two days at sea. Todd thought they were going to cancel but I knew better. Even though we didn't go where we wanted to I did enjoy enjoy Mexico. I had never been to any of the ports and got a chance to see Mayan Ruins and beautiful beaches. One thing about a Disney cruise that I liked it that the horn blew "when You wish a upon a star" which is cool when you leave port. Everyone's waving at us as we left Port Canaveral and then they'd blow the horn. It made me feel kind of special going on a Disney Cruise and wondered if those on land wished there were going.

As I explored every nook and cranny of the ship and tried to see every aspect of entertainment. I was hooked on Bingo and the Quiet Cove (adult only area). Anya unfortunately didn't want to go the Oceaneers Lab even though they had Wii, computers, and other activities. I hope next time I can have more family travel with us (hint..dusty) so she can have some one to hang with and I can too. My husband was a bit of a cabin potato. He spent more time lying in bed in the cabin on seas days. Other than dinner I can count 3 times we hung out on the ship. I need a ship buddy too!(hint...Shalimar/Dusty). Grandpa did the same but he does that even at home too! I did see a few movies since Disney can run their movies on the ship.

Shopping is a big thing on Cozumel. I got my free stuff first and then small trinkets of jewelry which may be back up Christmas presents. I always get a magnet from each port to put on my fridge. I do plan on going on another cruise to the Eastern Caribbean and then Hawaii as well. since I live within ours of the ports I plan to take advantage of the Caribbean.
