My dog...

So I am obsessed with our dog, he is so cute. He brings us great joy every day, well some days he is naughty but most of the time he is so much fun. I would love to have his life; never worry about food, always have someplace nice to sleep and sleep all day! Also never have to think of what you are going to wear that day or how fat you look in your pants. He just lets it all hang out there. He is really wonderful!

Have a good weekend. We will be celebrating my b-day all weekend, fun times!!

Sunset...

I was going through old pictures and found a great one of the sunset on Little Pine lake up north. It was such a nice night to be on the boat, I could live at the lake. Some people say once you live there you forget about the beauty but I really thinking getting up every morning and seeing the lake out my front window would be peaceful. One day, soon I hope, will buy land up north and build a home. We may not live there right away but I see us going there every weekend. We have talked about moving up north but not sure what we would do jobs and not sure if I want to move just yet. Maybe some day...

I have been in a funk for the last few weeks, not sure what it is. I think I need a new hobby or something. I might take up cake decorating, which would be fun. Who knows maybe I will really enjoy it and become a famous cake decorator. Maybe not. I am going to take some classes and see what happens. I am just been wanting a change and I don't know what it is. Maybe it is because I am getting older. I know the change won't be a kid so for those of you who keep wishing give up that hope. I love kids but have no desire to become a parent just yet, one day.

Weekend...

We had a great weekend, Ben's Mom came for the weekend and we went to Winehaven in a northern suburb. We came home with a great selection of good wines. We enjoyed some on the deck and Sammy got to play with his buddy Gem. He loves her. Here is a picture of her and Sam, well you can't really see Gem...

Lucky...

After cleaning my house most of last night thinking what a pain the you know what this is I realized how lucky I am to have a nice place to live. There is a man and his son who is renting a house about 4 down from us. They recently have been told to move because they were not paying their rent, that is what I heard. This week he decided to park a very large eye sore in the drive way, it is a camper from the 1970's-not attractive at all. It is kind of like cousin Eddie from Christmas Vacation. A broom is currently hold the front door shut and it is in need of a paint job, it gives our neighborhood a ghetto feel. It appears that that will be their new home which makes me so sad. That little boy now has to live in a van down by the river, pretty much, because of the decisions his father has made. I just made me feel lucky that I have a nice home, good job, wonderful husband, cute puppy, loving family, great friends, good neighbors next door and truly enjoy life.

Off the subject, I have added pictures of our deck. It is so nice! We use it almost every night! Sammy loves it too.

Have a good weekend all~

biographie...which means biography in french

Welcome,

I have never done this before but I thought it would be a great way to post pictures and write about what is going on in my life.

Life has been very busy at our house. We finished the deck, actually got green grass to grow in our yard, busy with family- birthday parties and weddings, Sam-enough said, trying to finish the basement bed room and excersise and buying cars. It has been fun. We have tried to get up north on the boat as much as we can but that too hasn't happened too often yet this summer. Work has kept me moving too, I really like my job but it can be stressful when you are spending millions of dollars a day and it is not your own money! It is good though.

Our families have also kept us busy; Ben's sister Nikki just had baby number 5, she is an amazing woman!! Avery is so darn cute, and so are the rest of her kids. I got to meet her over the 4th of July. She is such a good baby. My brother is getting married 10/6/07 which will be fun, his fiance Amy will make a great sister-in-law.

I hope you enjoy this site, not sure how often I will post...

Enjoy
