I am a little dutch girl!

SO SORRy I haven't posted a new post in a few weeks. But I just got back from Holland and Belgium and wanted to post some of my favorite pictures from my trip. Holland is the most quiant country I think there ever was. Everything looks like it was straight out of a picture book, and the flowers, wow..I can't even explain how beautiful everything is in that country. Belgium was great as well. I never expected to be able to see either of these countries, and I feel so blessed that I was able to sail along the waterways of Holland and Belgium. Enjoy some of my favorite pictures!!

thank God

She didn't come here to LOSE!

This Friday my mom had her last treatment, she has been such a strong, inspirational woman through out this whole process. Two weeks from now she has her final scans, so I am a little holding off being two excited, til I know we are REALLY done. But this past weekend I have spent the majority of the days with my parents and grandparents. It has been really great. Everyone is in such good spirits, grandma is sleeping in her own bed, sitting up in the wheel chair all day, and talking so much better. The nursing home is coming tomorrow to take a away the hospital bed. It just seems all surreal. Is everything really going to get better?!?!!??! I am so ready for fantastic things to happen for my family. This is definitely the start of a new beginning! Did I mention my mom is done with CHEMO!! wooohoo!!

It's getting closer!

Travel Tag I got at Convention in July

The itinerary package

OMG!! I Just got my travel itinerary for my trip last weekend!! I am so excited about it!! I got to see what we are doing, day by day, what towns I am visiting, what the weather is going to be like, who is on the boat. All that fun stuff!! I am so excited to travel to the world of Tulips!!! :) :)

Twilight!

The hottest scene

Team Edward

So after 3 long months of waiting Twilight has finally come out on DVD! So I pulled on my Team Edward shirt and met up with some of my girlfriends at Lindsey's house for a movie night! We had such a good time. Lindsey even let us view all the deleted scenes which were hilariously uncomfrotable and it was fun to view the movie with other Twilighters. We even convinced Amanda to read the book, she read it in three days, so she could watch it with us. I don't think she enjoyed it as much as we did, but she'll get there. hhaha. who out there is inlove with Twilight and secretly wishes Edward Cullen would decide you were the one he couldn't live without? :)

My Friday Night Tradition

the famous take off the sunglasses bit ..I heart Horatio

CSI Vegas

My dad and I LOVE CSI, I mean LOVE it, we started out watching Vegas, but have quickly became obsessed with Miami, I mean who can resist Horatio? I know I sure can't. And the best thing about Friday Nights is that there is always a marathon on on like two different channels! I even just down load The Who for my ring tone with my dad..so "who" out there loves them some some Horatio, or Callie, my old school Grissom? Don't talk to me about NY because I know nothing about those episodes. I love Friday nights, when I can curl up on the couch and watch hours of crime solving, Horatio's clever onliners and hundreds of dead corpses with my pappa!

She works hard for the money

So I began my new job a week ago, and I have to say I really enjoy what lies ahead. Does it mean a longer drive? yes, does it mean longer hours and I don't get home til 6:30 7. yes. Does it mean I leave feeling acomplished and independent? YES! I'll keep you updated on my new life :)

dirty pup

A dirty pup in October

Since my new job I have been working extremely long hours, the drive home isnt' bad at all, but I have yet to make it to karate since last week, even though I try so hard. This is mainly because I have to come straight home and let the pooch out. I think about him every second I'm gone past oh about 20 minutes. Wondering if he's sleeping, if he needs to go out. Don't fret leo is enrolled in Doggy day care, he no longer goes the to the Mutt hutt anymore, he now is a student at Camp Bow Wow. And they even have doggy cams. Yes my dog is my life, and yes be fearful of the day I have children. I slightly go over board. haha. Today I didn't leave work til 6:15, so I didn't make it home til almost 7:30, so I came home, swooped up Leo and took him to a dog park in Medina. He was like a wild man on the loose. However since we had a flood the past weekend, his white fur was stained brown. So I piled him in my car and we drove home. Once we got home I hosed him down, this was not easy. He hated the cold water. So to sum up my story, he is still muddy under his belly, and I'm thinking eh oh well. I towel dried him off the best I can..I'm thinking he needs a day at the doggy spa soon to get fooooofed. Love my baby!
