Bowling!

So tonight I bowled my highest game ever!!!

I bowled a 156!! That's just so crazy and insane! I'm so freakin happy :)

I also had my highest overall series (which is the combined score from all three games) with a 375 :) :)

Gift Registry

Realizing that we now have less than three months till the wedding we decided that we really needed to get going on this registering thing. So the two places that we decided to register were at Wal-Mart and at Crate & Barrel.

So Mike and I enjoyed wandering around Wal-Mart today with a little scanner gun picking things that we wanted to register for. Only obnoxious thing is about everytime I turned around Mike was randomly scanning something and giggling about it! He just likes being really really obnoxious and thinks he is SOOOOOO funny!

So when you see any thing ridiculous on the list, just know that Mike thinks he is just hysterical :)

(The Hannah Montana Calendar was in no way my idea!!)

Happy Valentine's Day

Well Valentines wasn't too super exciting since I got to work, and even though it was just Dollar Tree, it was still soooo crazy!! We sold almost 200 balloons that day! (Since we are very lightly staffed, that's pretty intense)

When I came home, a wonderful magic elf had washed all the dishes (Hooray for roommate!)
Mike and I had a delicious Steak dinner and had a relaxing night together.

And then of course, Brody got in the mood for Valentines as well :)


I found this super cute little Bow-Tie for him
Can't you see how much he loves it??

Double Post

I'm just a little behind in getting all my posts up, so this post covers two very different events in January :)

First let's start with the fabulous birthday day that we had this year. On January 20th Brody turned 1 year old. He had a very fun filled day full of playing with his best dog friend Toby as the weather was gorgeous (50 degrees). Since it was so warm they got to play outside all day.
Then he got the most amazing and delicious dinner. It was this really fancy pouch dog food that actually comes in a very large pouch (13 ounces) which was full of veggies and meat and rice. He LOVED it :)


And we can't forget the cute little hat. I couldn't find an actual 'Happy Birthday' Hat, so instead, he's wearing a hat with Mater on it. He was gettting lots of treats for wearing this, so he didn't complain at all :)



Next was my exciting day in Surgery! But don't worry, I wasn't the one going under the knife, but the one holding it (well maybe that could make some people worry).
In my Animal Physiology class we get to implant a rat with a transmitter so I can keep track of its internal temperature over the next month. My cute little rat's name is Petey (short for Patricia) and she was a very good patient.
I weighed her to determine the amount of anestetics she was getting and then shave her belly where the inscision was going to be.


The only part my stomach did some little flips was the very first inscision, but after that I was good. I cut through the skin and then the muscle and poked the trasmitter in. The transmitter was a lot bigger than I had first expected. It looked a lot like quite a large macadamian nut. I tied it to a muscle, which seemed weird, but the TA said that otherwise when I go in to retireve it in a month I won't be able to find it. Then I stitched back up the muslce, then the skin and she was good to go.


You can see the gorgeous stitching job that I did. I definitely have a new respect for surgeons. I was bent over that thing for an hour and it was not only stressful but extremely hard on my back. I don't know how those guys go in for like 8-hour surgeries.

On the very positive side, the next day in class my teacher said that all the rats were doing fine and running around like normal, so she lived! I made it through my first surgery!

Christmas

So.... Yeah, this post is a little late, but I guess better late than never!!

So this was the first christmas that Mike and I had together. And we went home to my parents. On Christmas Eve we all got matching superman jammies. The glow-in-the-dark on Mike's shirt is so intense! Just in a shadow you can see it glow!


But he loves the jammies and being part of the fam :)
If you look close at Brody's head, you can see a pair of antlers on his head. Though in the picture Brody doesn't look to happy in his antlers. It was easier when he was looking at me and I had a treat right in front of him. He's not as big of fan when he can't see me, so he looks grumpy :(

Then when Mike and I got back to Laramie the night of Christmas Day, we had our first Christmas dinner. So looking through the fridge, we decided the two things that we were the most hungry for.


Yep, fried SPAM and Pigs in a Blanket :)
We were both very happy and satisfied with this delicious meal (as crazy as that sounds...)

Different Video

So that last video just didn't give these two justice. Sometimes it just seems that when they see the camera they settle down and just stare at me. This one really shows how crazy this kitty is and how patient Brody is with all her oboxiousness

My two cuties

So here are some more pictures of Brody and Malibou. Thought you guys would enjoy some of these because they are just so cute!


And I even added in a video of the two of them playing



My favorite part is seeing how good Brody is with her


This last picture I just love. This is the field just right outside my back door that I take Brody out and let him run and play. Mike took this picture from the back steps of the trailer.


The other thing I LOVE about this picture is that it looks like Brody just walks right next to me off leash :)
