The Life of a Dog.... a Spoiled Dog

I always tell my mom that Daisy is so spoiled. She always replies with a spoiled dog for a spoiled girl. I know I am spoiled rotten! I have always known that simply because I was the youngest kid and my Dad's only little girl! What can I say?? But back to Daisy! Anyways... this past weekend Blake and I went to the Posh Paw to get Daisy's food. And at the Posh Paw they have these cookies that are baked just for dogs. Which of course we had to get her one! They have all different kinds, they have little donuts, cakes, apples, cowboy boots. Its crazy but Daisy is so spoiled that every time we go to the Posh Paw she gets at least one. Also she has so many clothes its funny. When LaMar, Jan, and Andrew were here in December I put on a little fashion show with Daisy's clothes. She has a raincoat, rain booties, 2 houndstooth sweaters, 2 dresses, and 3 or 4 t shirts. We also had to take her to the groomers this past weekend. I love when she gets her haircut because she looks so prissy! And of course we get new bows for her hair. I know what your thinking... you put bows in her hair? That poor dog. But she doesn't mind. She actually keeps them in, and it makes her look more girly. While we were at PetSmart waiting for her to be done. Blake and I decided to take a look down the clothes aisle. She certainly doesn't need anymore clothes but they always have cute stuff. When we were looking we saw a lot of funny t shirts for dogs. There was one that said "You cant afford me" (and the afford part was in gold), also "Honey, You cant buy attitude like mine", also "I'm the princess you scoop it up", and last but not least they had a valentine's shirt that said "I'm the pooch to smooch." I love them all but we got Daisy a pink t shirt that said "I love my mom" we thought that it was so funny and cute that we just had to get it!! I cant wait for everyone to meet her and love all over her! She is spoiled but she is our only child for the time being, so we get to spend all of our extra loving and money on her! By the way here is a picture of her cookie that we got her!

oh the weekends

Well this weekend has been great! Blake got off work Thursday around 3:30 and he has Friday through Monday off! We have been super tired lately so we decided that this weekend we would just stay around the house and be lazy! You know everyone needs those weekends sometime! But to our surprise we were wrong! Thursday night some of Blake's friends wanted us to come have a drink with them. So we met up with them and had a lot of fun. Well Friday we had to run some errands, I had to babysit so Blake went with me, we then had to go to my doctors appointment, go to the mall to get Blake safety goggles for NTC and for his deployment, and finally we were going to a friends house that night. They had just moved into their house and were having a little get together. They also just had their first baby girl, Keelie. She is absolutely gorgeous! So last night when we got home we both looked at each other and said I cant wait to lay around the house tomorrow! 

But this morning around 9 our friend Elyse text me and asked if we wanted to go to IHop with her and her husband and another couple. So we got up and decided to go. Well Blake had heard that Circuit City is going out of business so he wanted to go by there and take a look at what they had for sale. We didn't find anything that we absolutely had to have so we went to Best Buy. (Which is Blake's all time favorite store) When we got to best buy Blake started looking at the Apple computers and we got pretty interested. So we decided to take a trip to the South Center Mall and go to the Apple store. To end this long story..... we bought an Apple computer today. We were planning on getting a new one before Blake deployed, we just got it a little sooner! It is a super nice computer but it takes a little bit to get used to it. 

That has been our weekend so far. Running around, so I hope for the rest of Blake's 4 day we will be able to just sit at the house and do nothing! 

Welcome 2009

Well Christmas has come and gone and so has 2008! LaMar,Jan, and Andrew all got here safe for Christmas. LaMar,Jan and I were going to surprise Blake with them coming up two days early but since we had so much snow, SeaTac (the airport here) shut down and they were stuck in Dallas so they got here one day earlier then originally planned, but a day late for our surprise. But either way we were glad they were here! Christmas was great, we missed our family that we weren't able to be with. While they were here we went to Victoria, Canada. It was super cold but fun. We got on a ferry from Seattle that took us over there. That is the only way to get to Victoria, other than plane, because it is an island! The ferry ride was long but fun! The ride was two hours and forty five minutes. And it was gorgeous! We took a few pictures outside on the deck which was so cold and windy! When we got to Victoria we went to the Royal British Museum which was huge! We also went to a pub and the food there was so amazing! We also went to a place called Miniature World, and everything was in glass cases but they were all little. We had a lot of fun with LaMar, Jan , and Andrew and it was sad to see them go! This past week Blake and I haven't been doing much. He only had to work half days. We had a good New Year's eve. Blake and I used a gift card and went to Red Lobster. Then we just came home and rang in the New Year with each other! But I wasn't feeling good the whole day so that is kinda our excuse for staying in! I cant believe that it is already 2009! This year Blake and I will certainly be going through a lot. This is the year that Blake will be deployed! Our first anniversary apart, our first Christmas apart, and many more things that we will miss out on. But I know that Blake is excited to go overseas, he joined the Army to go over there and fight! Not just to "play" Army. I know that one of his best friends died over there and he wants to go over and fight and come back home for his friend, since Dustin wasn't able to come home! Please pray for us as this will be a very difficult year. We know that the Lord has a plan for us, and Blake will come home safe and sound! Because he is my ultimate Hero, and he wouldn't leave me all alone! Well until next time!

Big News

Well these past couple of days have been very fun! Blake and I are now an Aunt and Uncle to our niece. My brother and his wife had their baby yesterday around 4:30. Her name is Chloe and she was 7 pounds and 11 ounces and 20 inches long. The mom and baby are both doing great. They will out of the hospital by Saturday. The baby is too cute and I don't think that my brother is excited about changing diapers just yet! But I'm sure he will get used to since that is all he will be doing for the next 2 years! Here is a picture of Chloe Laiden Pearson! This is right after she was born and my brother, Cody, is holding her! Isn't she just adorable!

Also these past couple of days we have been getting a lot of snow. So much that Blake didn't even have to work the past 2 days because Fort Lewis had snow on the roads and they didn't want people driving. So that is fun! Our dog Daisy loves the snow she likes to run through it or hop i should say! But she also likes to put her nose in the snow! It is real cute! Here is a picture of Blake in front of our apartment as the snow was falling!Next week is Christmas and Jan, LaMar, and Andrew will be coming up here to Seattle so we are super excited to see them. We will miss the rest of our families that we cant be with this year. But we will see you soon! If I don't get back on here until after Christmas then............

MERRY CHRISTMAS

We Love You

Sorry its been so long

So I know that I haven't posted anything since August so I guess I should feel you in on the past couple of months. Since August we moved into a different apartment. Same town though. Halloween was a lot of fun for us, it was my birthday and we went to a costume party too. We went as Barney and Betty Rubble! We had a lot of fun and stayed out way too late! Alabama football is doing great this year! We are #1 right now with an 11-0 record. So Blake, Daisy and I wear our jerseys every Saturday for the games! We cant wait for the Auburn game in two weeks! We pray that we will win because Alabama has lost to Auburn for the past 6 years and we hate them! :) Blake and I are going to Alabama for Thanksgiving and we are so excited! This will be the last time we see my parents for a while. Because we will not be able to go home for Christmas. We are staying here in Washington this year because Blake's leave days got screwed up so we wouldn't have enough days to go to Alabama and to Missouri. So to be fair we are staying here. But LaMar, Jan, and Andrew are coming up here for Christmas and we cannot wait to see them. Oh yeah I have a job now! yay!! I babysit 3 days a week for a 3 year old girl named Natalie. She has such a personality on her! Also Blake has a deployment date now, it is August 9, 2009. He is so excited to be going overseas to fight! We just pray that he will be safe! He is getting a little nervous since Obama was elected President Blake doesn't know if he will be going for sure! So maybe Obama wont screw up this country too bad! Blake really wants to go over there so maybe he will! Well I guess that is about it, that's everything for the past couple of months! I promise that I will try to do better on keeping the blog updated! Here are some pictures from the last couple of months!!!

It's been a year

Well it has now been a year since Blake and I got married! I cannot believe that time can fly by so quickly. We went to Olive Garden because it was where our first date was. We then came home and cut the top of our wedding cake and ate it! It was still good actually! I wanted to thank everyone who has prayed for us this past year, and helped with the wedding! We just moved into our new apartment this past weekend so I will be blogging about that later!

It's been a while

Well I haven't been on here lately. When Blake and I got back from Missouri we had a lot to do. We now know where we will be moving to, and that is a blessing. I was only home for 2 weeks until I had to come back to Alabama for one of my best friend's wedding, Nicole. She looked beautiful on her wedding day. It sure took me back to the day Blake and I got married. I cant believe that it has almost been a year! Crazy how time can fly by! I am still in Alabama and I will be leaving Saturday. Blake has been out in the field for the past two weeks, which is why I stayed so long here. I am ready to get back and to see him! I miss him bunches but I would rather be here with my family while he is out in the field. I will be going home Saturday and our anniversary is Monday. So I will probably have a new post on Tuesday with pictures and letting you know how our 1st anniversary went!
