Holiday weekend

Well I Spent my holiday weekend working how fun. i did get to go goose hunting with joel 3 times! That was so much fun! We went with Jimmy , Emily, and Jason. Emily and I had a blast! We got two geese on Monday morning that was the first time i actually saw them shoot one it was so sweet. Then Monday was Lily and Gracie's birthday party they are getting so big and act so grown up. Well Joel and i have been keeping busy with our house we have been having lots of problems with our drain getting plugged and our septic so that is our stress this week. Joel is still working in Ohio but is commuting this week so that is extra nice! This weekend we are going to a concert over to my brothers with our friends Hollie and Troy . We cant wait to get away and relax with family! I will post my goose pics and the birthday pics later. take care everyone!

Here it goes......

Well things are getting some what better even though Joel is out of town this week!! I miss him so much!:(He is building a taco bell with his crew in Ohio. My friend Christina is staying with me she is so sweet. It is hard to take care of a puppy by yourself! He is a pain in the butt just like any lab would be at 8 weeks. But he is just so cute his baby blue eyes. He follows me everywhere we are best buddies. My dad went for his test on Friday and today he went for his stress test which took 3 hours. We will find out results hopefully soon. Heather is doing better she is coming over tomorrow night i am SO excited I miss her so much. She is having her surgery on Friday and will be in the hospital for 2 -3 days. It is going to be a slow process but she will get through it she is a strong girl. They said she won't be able to walk on that leg for 6 months. Well its been a good week so far besides Joel being gone i am so looking forward to him coming home Friday. Well thats it for now take care everyone:)

Our new baby...

He's a silver lab and he's 8 weeks old. We love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

little steps

Well thanks to Julie I now have some pictures for everyone to see!! thanks Julie. Well its up north for Joel and I again this weekend to spend time with my father and step mother. We are going camping this time to relax since last weekend was not very relaxing. My dad goes in for some tests on friday and then monday for a stress test. Then to a specialist in September. So this the start and I am so happy for him to make this decision to find out what is going on it is so scary to think about. We just got to keep letting him know how much we love him and to let him know how important he is to our family. Joel has been working hard lately going to work all day then coming home trying to get our house finished he is a trooper. He played in softball tournaments on monday and tuesday with two different teams. His tuesday night team won his division so they are the champs!. Well its back to work for me take care everyone!
