best buddies...

Miley and Annie Rice are becoming best buddies! I have gotten "brave" and have been taking both of them on a walk together in the mornings! Annie Rice just looks at Miley the whole time and laughs! I love it! 

I had to document this moment the other day through pictures[even though they are horrible camera phone pictures]! Annie was on the bed and Miley jumped up there. Normally, I try to keep Miley away because she just wants to lick Annie's face all the time, but Miley just laid down instead! The first thing Annie Rice does most days is stick her finger up her nose! This time, she stuck it straight up Miley's nose and Miley didn't even flinch! I was really surprised because Annie sure pulled her nose back, but it was super cute and I just couldn't resist! 

 Miley sits at Annie's feet while she eats, HOPING she will drop just a few crumbs:)

eli young band & father's day...

We went to see the Eli Young Band last week with our friends Amber and Chris! We had a blast...not to mention that I love country music and concerts, so it was perfect:)

 As usual, I had to think of a creative picture for my dad on father's day...So this is what I came up with! I think I did pretty good:) 

 We had a friend's wedding on Saturday. I was photographing it but Kaz attended it so we had a little fun in the photo booth:) After the wedding, we went to my parents house to spend Father's Day with them! It was a great weekend!

Friends from college

about me...

I ALWAYS wear pearls when I workout!

I make such a MESS when I eat...I’m always the one with crumbs all around my plate! No matter how hard I try, I always have crumbs...

I complain all the time that my parents NEVER have any food at their house. When I go home, I search the cabinets over for snacks! One time I was so desperate, I mixed rice crispys and Marshmellow fluff thinking it may taste like rice crispy treats. WRONG! double YUK!

I have ABSOLUTELY NO PATIENCE when it comes to customer service! Kaz always says he’s glad he’s my husband and not the store representative I’m talking too!

When I’m driving and I get stopped by a light, I can’t be in line with the car beside me. If they get in line with me, I have to keep inching my way up until we are no longer in line with one another! It drives me CRAZY!

I put baby powder in my hair when I don’t want to wash it! It’s a bad habbit!

I always wear lounge clothes around the house...the problem is I always grab Kaz’s t-shirts instead of my own!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE old people! I can cry just seeing one! They melt my heart!

I’m a reality show junkie! Currently my dvr shows are: Teen Mom 2, The Real Housewives of EVERY city except NJ, Bethany Ever After, The Celebrity Apprentice, Kourtney and Kim take NY, Holly’s World, Sister Wives[I HAVE NO IDEA WHY?], Million Dollar Listing....the list continues...Those are just whats on right now!

I LOVE Burger King’s French Toast sticks! I could eat them every morning for breakfast:)

I don’t like my neck showing...I try to cover it up with high necks or my hair!

I LOVE pictures! I have them everywhere in my house! AND to be honest, I prefer the non-professional ones! 

I wear brown Rainbow flip flops pretty much year round! My last pair had a whole in the bottom of them and my heel would touch the ground when I wore them. I still wore them for almost 7 months before my mom graciously decided to buy me a new pair!

My dad sends me an email everyday asking what Miley’s doing. I always try to send a few pictures a week! I tend to get a little crazy dressing her up for funny pictures to send to him, Kaz, and my mom! I really do not dress her up all the time...only for a few pictures every now and then:)

BUT this is by FAR my favorite picture of Kaz and Miley!

I say a lot of words that sound really country...I try not too BUT I just can’t help it:) Instead of for...I usually say fur. “What are you looking fur?” I say ya’ll a WHOLE lot! AND Kaz’s favorite heel instead of hill! 

I LOVE to have my back scratched. I always say they need to add that into services at spas! I would definitely get it:)

If I go home to my parents house and Kaz isn't with me, I always get my mom to sleep with me! I hate sleeping by myself:)

I re-read and email or text about 4 times before sending...It drives Kaz crazy!

a fun saturday morning...

Saturday morning, we decided to visit a park right near our house for a little while before I had to leave for a wedding. The park is literally 3 minutes away so we decided to just let Miley loose in the backseat! BIG MISTAKE! She didn't know what to do and was everywhere! We had a fun time together! It was the perfect start to my Saturday!

 Kaz thought it would be fun to run over this tree with Miley! I'm not as fast as Miley so I got stuck at the top:) 

 I tried to take other pictures with Miley but you can see who won! 

PLEASE stop taking my picture...

around our house lately....

Lately, our household has been a little crazy! Kaz has been working and traveling so much...Wedding season has taken off in full swing...and I'm preparing for a couple trips coming up in April! To catch you up to speed...

Lately, my favorite place has been outside. That's not normally like me:) I don't like bugs, bees, anything that crawls so for me to spend time outside in the grass is asking a lot....EXCEPT for lately..outside is the place that I crave to be...I want to be there 24/7! I have tried to layout a little everyday while reading. Along with running, I call that my "quiet place". It's so easy to forget everything and just relax! I LOVE it! Please excuse the horrible picture..

Since Kaz has been traveling so much, Miley has been sleeping with me while he's away. She's so spoiled. She wants me touching her ALL the time. I love this picture because her paw always has to be on top! 

My wonderful husband got a promotion yesterday at work:) He deserves it! We knew it was coming so we went out Sunday night to celebrate! He normally buys work clothes 2xs a year. All of his shirts come from Brooks Brothers. They have such great customer service! I always try to get him to pick bolder colors because he has so many blue shirts! SO he got a purple one just for me:) Doesn't he look handsome in it? We met yesterday for lunch and he was wearing it! He wears pink a good bit but I have never seen him wear purple...BUT I like it!

We are doing a lot of "remodeling" around our house....We have made quiet a few changes to the nursery which I'm SO EXCITED about! Hopefully, I can share some pictures by the end of the week:) 

Well, I've got A BUSY BUSY BUSY day starting in about 30 minutes....

Have a great Tuesday!

my loves....

Miley sure keeps me company during the day...She is 100% a MESS! She is just like a child....her personality amazes me! This week[and unfortantely the next few coming up] Kaz has been traveling with work, so I let Miley sleep with me. I hate staying by myself so it was nice having her with me. You WOULD HAVE THOUGHT I was sleeping with Miley, instead of the other way around. She acted like the bed BELONGED TO HER! I had to keep moving her just so I would have a little room. She gets into trouble constantly...grabing socks shes knows she’s not supposed to have. She thinks that after I get back from running, it’s time for her walk and won’t let me do anything differently! If I try, she sits by the front door and wines....She is a mess BUT I sure love her!

I feel like Kaz and I haven’t seen a whole lot of each other since vacation because he’s been working so much....BUT that’s ok for now because we did have a wonderful time together on vacation. The list could go on and on and on about all the things I love about Kaz but here’s one that has topped my list lately:) When we were in Vegas, we were getting ready to go out for the night. I still had 1 dress left to wear...I REALLY wanted to wear it BUT that night I just wanted to be comfortable, which meant jeans. Instead, I put on the dress and we started walking out of the hotel. Kaz kept telling me how beautiful I looked and I said, “Kaz, would you mind if we go back and let me change clothes.” He without thinking, said sure whatever you would like. I rambled for a few minutes about how I would feel more comfortable in jeans that nights...My words meant nothing to him. He wasn’t upset the slightest bit and just wanted me to be happy. After I changed, he said you look even more beautiful than before! His whole attitude almost completely melted my heart! 

I love that he thinks for me constantly....he’s always fighting for me to believe truth....he calls me boo and miss...sometimes combining boo and beautiful to bootiful[i LOVE that:)]...A lot of people say that he looks like Mel Gibson..I say he’s MUCH MUCH more handsome! I love that he has no idea what goes on in the middle of the night because he’s 100% out of it.....I love that he's an outdoorsy guy EVEN though at times I try him to get to be a cowboy or farmer guy:)like I said, the list could on and on and on. He’s my prince charming.....I SURE AM BLESSED!

Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

lately I've been.....

lately I've been....

WATCHING every season of Dawson's Creek on DVD. I was never allowed to watch this show growing up, but got hooked on it in college. My mom bought me every season on dvd and actually watched them all herself:) I've started watching them again and I can't stop:) This is one of my all time favorite shows! Partly because I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to live on a creek...wake up and see the marsh everyday! AND partly because I really like Joshua Jackson[Pacey!] I never wanted Joey to end up with Dawson because Pacey was always my favorite! NEEDLESS to say, I LOVED the finale:)

lately I've been...

PREPARING for a women's bible study that I'm leading on Thursday nights...Leading a study isn't really my thing so we shall see what the Lord has in store, BUT I'm really excited! Some of the girls in our Sunday School class will be studying Beth Moore's Breaking Free. I did this study back in college so it's been interesting to see how different my responses are now from then...

lately I've been....

BORED without Miley here. It's CRAZY how much more work I can get done without her here, BUT then once the work is done I'm all alone...She's not here to play with outside or take on walks...I miss my little buddy. BUT she's having the best time at my parents house until we get back from vacation. She LOVES staying there[sometimes I think more than staying here]. My dad spoils her and plays with her all the time. My mom feeds her marshmallows every night. NO WONDER she likes it there! She was so happy last week when I took her out there. When my dad walked in the door, she started smiling, LITERALLY. She shows her teeth when she's happy[it looks just like she's smiling]. She smiled for a good 5 minutes!

lately I've been....

SHOPPING!!! Kaz told me I could buy a nice dress for Vegas. Instead of super nice, I decided I would rather buy 3 for the price of 1:) I'm not quite sure that's what he meant! HaHa

I'm so excited about these dresses! They will be perfect for our dinner reservations while in Vegas:)

My dress looks just like this BUT has 3/4 sleeves...I bought some navy blue tights to go underneath:) VERY CUTE outfit!

a different kind of valentines...

I'm always thinking of different picture ideas for Valentines Day, other holidays, etc to send to Kaz and my parents because I know it will make them laugh. This year, I had to do something really good and funny! So this is what I came up with...HaHa!

Now, don't think I dress Miley up everyday because I do not! I'm in no way being serious when I do it, it's only for fun! BUT she LOVES it! This dog could wear costumes EVERYDAY and be perfectly happy. It's the CRAZIEST thing I've ever seen! One Halloween I bought her a hotdog costume that I got for $2. Anytime I would pull it out, not just her tail would start wagging, but her whole back side would start twisting! She's an interesting one that Miley!

Anyway, Happy Valentines Day!

my little buddy...

Miley had surgery yesterday...We finally had her spayed:( We thought for a long time we would breed her but the thought became too overwhelming, NOT to mention it was no fun when she was in heat! ALTHOUGH, she loved it because she got to wear a blue jean diaper. If she saw that diaper, her tail started wagging! She wore it proudly and would prance around with her head held high!

She’s been really mopey and has slept since we brought her home yesterday. She had the shakes last night along with a fever so I slept on the couch beside her incase anything happened:( I guess I should enjoy this time but I hate seeing her sick!

Here are a few pictures I took with my iPhone.... 

 She hates the thing she has to wear around her head...She actually is quite mad about it. Yesterday we had to force her to lay down. She would just stand like this and fall asleep or either stare at you hoping you would take it off!

 In the car kennel after surgery!
