I hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving. Andrew and I spent the day with my family. My Nanny and brother came in from out of town. It was nice, and my mother's cooking was OUTTA SIGHT!
We are spending this afternoon with Andrews family. Once again, it will be nice to see everyone.
Then later tonight, I am going out with Sharon. We are going to go see Jack Ingram in concert! I am so excited. It has been a long time since I got to see him, and Sharon.
I actually got Wednesday-Monday off so it has been really nice. There are a lot of things going on around the ObenHOUSE. A lot of things that we hope will make '07 better than ever. I will keep everyone posted as I can!
I am thankful for my family, my friends, my job, and all the material things ;) I am thankful for the roof over my head and the food on my table. I am thankful for my health. I am thankful to be one of God's children.
Bubby came to stay with us this past weekend. We had a blast. We went to Monkey Bizness on Friday, Lake Conroe on Saturday, and the park on Sunday! BUSY!
I love watching how he is growing. I swear every time I see him, he looks bigger. My little Bubby is growing up. I knew this was going to happen, I just didn't know it would be so fast.
My favorite part of the weekend was hearing him say MeMe in his tiny little voice. He is so sweet! Thanks to the Birds for letting us spend our weekend with Bubby.
(Blogger is being weird, I'll post some more pixs later :)
I read this in Conceive Magazine and instantly feel in love with it.
“A relative of mine couldn’t understand why I was passing around pictures of my dogs. I fully realize that my dogs are not my children, but for this moment in my life, they are my little ones and is very comforting to me as I try to have a baby.”
I forgot to mention that I went to dinner Friday night with my dear, dear friend Melody! We had a great time catching up and eating dinner :)
We had another nice relaxing weekend. I was off on Friday (we started a new 9/80 schedule at work) and I got to go see Carsten and Cara before they left town. I did some running around and managed to get Raeven's hair done. She looks so cute! Saturday I had to help my mom with her garage sale. IT WAS crazy! She made something like $1300! She had a lot of crap to get rid of. Sunday I went to church and lunch with Karol, while Andrew stayed at home and cleaned. Then we packed the children in the car and went to the dog park. We took evil Chipug, but we made sure she had her bark collar. She only attacked one dog, so we consider this trip successful :) After the dog park, we stopped by Andrew's parents house to show off our new baby. We also ran into Aunt Carol. Overall, it was another nice weekend!
Andrew and I had a good weekend. We actually spent a lot of time together. I don’t think we realized that we needed a break from life and worries and such, and just needed us time. Saturday night we went to the Studio Movie Grill and had date night. We saw The Departed. The movie sucked, but the time together was nice. Sunday we got up and went to church with Karol, Melody, and Jesse. It was SOO nice to go to church! The message was great and it really hit home. Then Sunday afternoon we went to go meet Raeven and brought her home. We spent the evening with the children just chilling. It was nice, all of it!
Sometimes I wonder what is wrong with Andrew and me! Let me explain, it happened like this. I saw a post on the Pug Meetup site for a dog that needed a home. I asked Andrew if we could add a dog to our family. He said yes. I emailed the woman. She responded. We went to meet her and pick up the dog yesterday. NOW, are we crazy? I think so!
Raeven Dove (Raeven is her original name, but I added the Dove part because Raven Dove is a Dolly song) is SOOO cute and she is very small. She only weighs 6 pounds! She is a very expensive Brussel Griffon. We did not buy her, we just adopted her. No money exchanged hands :) BTW...she needs a good haircut. Hopefully, we can go get her cut this weekend. I think she looks like a mini Chubacca (however you spell that!).
Maybe we are crazy, but we are happy and she has a good home now. Can you tell Andrew is smitten with her?
I made the pumpkins and put them on my desk.
The leaf magnets I made for Ro (my co-worker) because I had made some magnets for some other people, and she was feeling left out!
My other co-worker Jenny sent me the cute pug Halloween card! I made the little candy corn magnets to accent the card ;)
I love the fall!
