| My New Doggie |
I am happy to report that I am the proud parent of this beautiful German Shepherd. This morning we got up very early to make the three-hour drive to pick him up at Lackland Airforce Base. This is the picture that I took of him after two minutes with him. As you can see, he loves toys and especially rubber balls. His name is Nero, and no, I did not name him that. The military did and since he's been used to it for nine years of his life, I don't think it would be fair to him to change it now. The cats aren't very happy with the new addition to our family. They thought the family was just fine the way it was. Nero is curious with the cats and wants to play with them but the cats only want to hiss! :) We are separating them for the time being until the catsdecide to play nice, which may never happen.
He has a very sweet disposition, but since he was a guard and bomb dog, I know that if he ever felt someone was threatening us, he would become one protective dog. It's only been nine hours since I first saw him, but it was love at first sight. :) |

| We Made It! |
Hi Everyone!
Just wanted to give you a quick update and let you know that we are here in Texas. We're not settled into the house yet but will be hopefully closing on it tomorrow afternoon if all goes well. We've been having a few problems with the title and mortgage company, but our realtor is assuring us that it will all pan out. I sure hope she is right! (Tink, you know how it all goes since you went through it not too long ago) I'm currently using the hotel's computer and so thankful they have one because I've been having withdrawals, well, not really but I do not feel like I'm up to date with anything if I can't check on my email and things like that.
I'll give you all another update as soon as there is something to report about. Hopefully, it will be a good report and not a bad update regarding our house! Keep those fingers crossed!! :) |

| Another Adventure |
I know I keep bombarding you all with slide shows with our ugly mugs on them, but I don't have much else to blog about unless you want to hear about my days filled with boxes everywhere and waiting for the movers to get here on Tuesday morning to haul it all away! Ya, I didn't think you wanted to hear about it. :)
Our last adventure in South Carolina was a day spent at Myrtle Beach. We went to Ripley's Aquarium, Myrtle Beach State Park, and dinner at Hard Rock Cafe. It was lots of fun but went by way too fast. Hope you all are doing well, and I'm sorry I've been so out of touch with you all. As soon as we are settled in Texas, I'm sure I'll be more "available", but that will probably be about two weeks from now.
Keep us in your prayers as we travel through many states to get to our final destination!

| I Love Horses! |
For our 2nd anniversary, Jeremy scheduled a few hours for he and I to spend with some beautiful horses. We were able to groom them and went out for a nice horseback ride. I absolutely loved every minute of it and my favorite part was definitely the grooming part of it. I love riding them too but the one-on-one contact was undescribable. I can't wait to someday own my own horse. Any one that knows me knows I am a huge animal lover and have had a love for horses since I was a child. I can't wait to take lessons in Texas and it's definitely something I'm going to pursue while Jeremy is deployed for the year. I know I'll find much joy being able to be with the horses. I'm also hoping whoever gives me riding lessons will also let me help groom and upkeep them. Enjoy the pictures!

| Catching Up.... |
It's been a pretty busy week for me. Moving in just two short weeks so I've been decluttering the closets and drawers and am trying to make my pack rat ways disappear. Of course, now that I've given away most of my clothing, I'll be looking like a pauper for awhile until I can go shopping for some new items for my wardrobe. The kitties were mad at me this past week because I had to haul both of them to the vet to get their shots, and just wait till the movers come in a week and a half, the cats will definitely go back to their psycho ways. Cats are such tempermental creatures that is why I have sedatives to knock them out for the journey to their new home.
Don't know if I told you all this or not but I'm going to be adopting a retired military war dog. I know its going to be a German Shephard and I'm really excited about it. Not only will it be a great companion for me when Jer is deployed but I'll feel more protected in my house at night with my new trained attack dog. Warning to all those bad guys out there: DON'T BE MESSING WITH ME!!! :)
On that happy note, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I'm sorry you haven't been hearing much from me. I expect it's going to be like that for the next couple of weeks until I'm settled in our new place, but that doesn't mean I'm not thinking of you! |

| Amusement Park Fun! |
Yesterday Jer and I went to Carowinds, and amusement park in North Carolina. It was so fun and we had such a great time together. Of course, no matter what we do we always have a great time with each other, but today will always be memorable. Jer hates roller coasters yet he went on everyone with me. He says he proved his eternal love to me today! :) I know he enjoyed himself though because we went on the Top Gun ride twice, so he couldn't have hated it that much, right? Since I can't describe all the fun we had, here is another slideshow to show you how much fun we had! Enjoy!
