Meet P.J.

So for the past little while, Blake and I have considered getting a dog! After having to leave my beloved Rusty in Utah, the dog of which I've had for 9 years this thanksgiving, I've had an aching in my heart for a dog. I love them. They truly are man's best friend, or at least they are mine! I want to save all the dogs in the world. Ceasar Millan, the dog whisperer, is my hero. I'm obsessed with his ability to "rehabilitate" dogs, and train owners. I take to heart everything he says about dog's behaviors and how all they really want to be in the world..well is a dog. Anyways, I will rant about him another time!

Well, I have decided against it for the time being. We have a place right now that would allow a pet, but I just don't think it would be smart (Financially or work wise) since we will be leaving in the summer! So, maybe next year. It also limits us when looking to find a final place and what not!

To make up for the ache that I've had...we borrowed Blake's family dog for the past couple weeks. I've loved every minute of it! Well most..he's had some whining issues, but thats where we have put in to play what Ceasar Millan has taught us, through his show, and his book. And he is doing great! It's been such a blast to play with him, snuggle, and just have been enjoying the company of having a dog spirit in the house! It really is uplifting!

Among walks, I took the opportunity to give him a nice bath, and a hair cut!

Here he is :). So cute! Thanks for coming P.J. we will surely have you over again!!! I think i did pretty good for my first time grooming a dog. :) I didn't think to take a before pic! Sorry.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from our Beloved Tarantula, Timmy!




Blakes Brother and his wife!

Blake and I both carved Half
of a face on the pumpkin!

Blakes Half.




My half, I knew he was going to be doing something crazy,
So i tried to make mine evil.. :)

The result.

So, I made chicken enchiladas and wanted to make them Halloweenish. Hence the Boo written in Olives! :) It worked for me!





All of our Pumpkins! Blake did his side first, and he did the mouth very high up on the pumpkin..so the candles had a tough time lighting
him up! But we still loved our creation!









On Sunday, I made Dinner in a pumpkin! It was soooo good! Definately will be a tradition for us!






We got a total of 14 trick or treaters that night! Blake and I had a lot of fun passing out the candy to the cuties! Some of them..were too old to be trick or treating I think. And when we only gave them one piece each, they'd look at us like we were the worst "Halloweeners" out there. I didn't feel bad at all though, especially because we were limited on candy, and they would come in huge groups with pillowcases full of candy. They were perfectly loaded!

Anyways, next year Blake and I are hoping to hit up some party and be able to dress up! We didn't hear about any parties this year, so we just had a relaxing time at home!

Also, I've noticed a lot of people are already putting up their Christmas decorations..I absolutely am going to be jumping on that Bandwagon!!! I think once it snows a lot more people will be putting theirs up too! I can't believe it hasn't snowed yet, IN CANADA...in NOVEMBER!!! It's snowed in Utah multiple times already. Absolute insanity!
