Only FOUR months to go ......

I am really bored tonight, can you tell ...? I already posted something about Oakley below so now i thought i would talk about something other than our dog. MY WEDDING! It kind of creeped up on me and now its crunch time! Its crazy how fast our engagement has gone, I really cant believe it has already been six months and now we only have four or so more to go!!! I have done a few things ... we have our venue, the photographer, the cake, the florist, and our ever so talented friend Jamie works for Busath and designed our invitations, but thats it! Any suggestions anyone would like to share ...?? I really need to find a DJ or a band so any suggestions would be GREAT! Oh yes ... and I have my dress! 

Puppies are like Babies ... they grow quickly!

Just like babies .... puppies grow fast too! She has seriously grown so much in the two weeks we have had her, it makes me sad! Tad keeps saying that we need to take pictures of her each week, to me thats a little extreme, but i guess you can say he is proud father! So in my first post about Oakley i said ask me in two weeks if I'd regret this, once she had chewed a few things ... she hasn't yet and i love her more now than i did than! She actually has been pretty good, she is learning to like her kennel and only a few accidents in the house, but she is learning and ... she starts puppy kindergarten in two weeks!!! 

Attention Ali E ....

If i promise not to say anything negative, will you please make it possible for people to leave comments on your blog .....? So, because i cant leave comments i have a few requests!!! First, can you please help me get the Christmas music off my blog ... I can't figure out how to do it! I don't care what song you put on there just change the songs around, THANK YOU! Second, who are those random people on your blog? Tad and I were wondering ....? Last but not least, i am going to need you to either go get your measurements taken or take them yourselves. I have a meeting with the dress maker and i will need to get those to her, assuming you won't be back until the wedding? If it makes it easier for you I can meet with her first and get the measurements she will need, then i can get those to you. Let me know what you prefer .... Hope everything is going well! Tell the kiddos hi and that we miss them and that Oakley is anxiously awaiting their arrival!! Love ya!

Oakley makes THREE ......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAD!!! So this year for Tad's birthday i had a crazy idea to surprise Tad with a PUPPY! Yes i know .... you all think I'm crazy, and maybe i will agree, but ask me that in a few weeks ... two chewed shoes later! But Tad and i have decided that this dog will NOT chew, wishful thinking i know! So the details to this fairy tale are short and sweet ... Tad has wanted a dog now for what seems like forever, he and i have both grown up with them but have yet to have our own! So last week i came up with the idea, Ryan went with me on a whim to look at the puppies ... ten minutes later ... i had bought one! She spent the weekend hiding out at the Burt's and Ryan's house, made friends with Zoe, Kita, and Nixen ... Wednesday night we got everyone together for dinner and birthday cake ... then the most exciting news of the night, Tad had a little surprise waiting for him on the front porch with a big red bow!!! Guesses anyone ...? an eight week old golden retriever! i hope you all think she is as cute as we do, and we gladly accept babysitters ...
