..daily activites..

Most days I wake up around 9am and try to wake up my mom by staring at her till she opens her eyes and sometimes I sneeze on her. I want to make sure she is really awake! I like to wiggle around and stretch while my mom complains about me sneezing on her. I always want to go outside and go to the bathroom. I like wondering around and smelling all the fresh cut grass. Sometimes I find a salamander to chase into the bushes.

I don’t like plain dry dog food anymore so my mom has to make me some canned food and dry food mix, which I enjoy. I also need my face washed after I eat because I am rather messy!

I like to curl up on the floor outside the bathroom while my mom gets ready for the day. I sleep, roll around, stare at mom, and lick her all afternoon. I like to curl up in her lap and wait for my dad to get home. When he does, I go crazy! He always plays with me so I love when he gets home. He also takes me for an evening walk. We hunt for bunnies so I can chase them around. Mom does not let me chase bunnies but dad does. Then I come home and eat again because mom always has my food ready after my walk!
I then smell around, maybe play with a toy or two and curl up again.
Before she goes to bed, my mom always kisses me a bunch! She then goes to bed and about 2-3 hours later, I scratch on the door so I can sleep in the big bed! And because I know I can get my way, she caves and I get to sleep right in the middle of my mom and dad!
Most days are like this but some are filled with grooming appointments, trips to the park, meeting other dogs, and hanging out with my parent’s friends. I like it here with them. I am glad they picked me from the adoption place. I am glad I am no longer in a puppy mill because I am lucky to have such a great mom and dad.

Molly wanted me to share this with you :)

..one channel..

Bonus to living near the mountains: beautiful snow when is rains, gorgeous view, doesn't feel like L.A. anymore.

Not-so-much bonus: we only get one channel with our antenna

Yes, it's true, we don't have cable and I know we need to get it but I have been putting it off for the last 2 months. We only get ABC. That's right. One channel.

So all you people out there who can't decide what to watch tonight...remember me and flip to ABC to see what I am watching.

..it's been awhile..

Remember that song from Staind?? Well, it's been awhile since I have posted...

I am currently stealing internet from someone, not sure who but someone. Maybe not the smartest thing but sometimes a girl needs internet!

Quick update: We love our place. It's perfect for us. Our neighbors are not bad, the area is really safe, and are starting to become integrated in the community. We started going to a church and also started Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University at the church. We met a wonderful couple at our table at class. They are about 10 years older then us but we all get along great. They have a new dog so we can relate to all the stuff they are going through with him! haha

We also went to a Young Marrieds group on Friday and met a few other couples. But they aren't young marrieds so it was really funny. They all mentioned that having younger friends keeps you younger and I guess Billy Graham at one point said he wished he made younger friends because it's terrible to watch all your friends die. That made me sad but made me realize that it's true! So Jesse and I are thinking these people want to be our friends, even if we are 10-20 years younger then them! haha Funny story from that night: couple walks in and the guy is very nice. Talks about his job and what not. Finally at the end of the night he says something about real estate and looks over at me. It hits me! He is Real Estate Nate!! He is on every cart at every grocery store, bus benches, and signs all over the Santa Clarita Valley! I was like "Hey! You are always on my cart!" He laughed so hard and was like "yep, I can't go anywhere anymore!" He is one of the best in the area and sells all the multi-million dollar homes in the gated communities behind our apartment. He and his wife want to go out with us sometime soon...maybe we can go see their insane home ;) Jesse and I still laugh over the whole situation but he was on my shopping cart today :)

Molly is doing great!!! She is completely housetrained and I rarely worry that she does her business on the carpet or anything. She is such a joy! I just love her! Sometimes I tell Jesse that I actually miss her when are out to dinner or out for the day. It's kind of funny but she is basically my best friend here and hey, she loves me to pieces!!

Other then that not much is going on here. I am going to try to post more often but with the internet not always allowing me to post, it can be difficult!

Please continue to pray for Curtis and his time in Iraq! He could really use the prayers and encouragement!
