New Pupper-Doo

David and I have been wanting to get Bear a playmate since we moved into our house. She is an outside dog and needs a friend. The last couple weeks we have been going to the pound to look for a puppy. Today we went in and saw an America Bulldog who is 5 months old and who had just gotten to the pound. He has no health problems and is super mellow like Bear! American Bulldogs are great with kids, super loyal and great with other dogs. We let him and bear play for a while and they got along fine! We put in an application and will find out Tuesday if he is ours!!

Bridesmaids

Today My lovely sister and I went shopping for bridesmaid dresses. We went to Davids Bridal and found some pretty cute ones. We had it narrowed down between 2.....



We ended up finding one that we both LOVE! We decided on the strapless one with pockets! We are going to order it in the color of the first dress though. It is called Truffle brown.

10.15.10

So after putting off the wedding this year, we finally set THE date. We will be getting married 10.15.10. We booked the venue so it is official! It will be on a Friday and probably around 7:00 PM. The venue is the McMenamins Cornelious Pass roadhouse in Hilsboro. It is really pretty and romantic. My dress is in and just waiting to be worn! I have a cake picked out and I think my colors are going to be brown and orange. I am so excited!

Happy 25th to my love!!

7 Years

Today is our 7 year anniversary. Who would have thought that the 17 year old boy and 14 year old girl that met at Cresent Lake would still be together and engaged? We have grown up together and I feel lucky (most of the time) to have my best friend as my future husband. :)

Alpine Slides

Friday for work I went to the Alpine Slides.....

While speeding down the slide with a 7 year old girl in my lap, the sled came out from under us and made us skid about 15ft. Sarah, the little girl that was with me started skidding on her head so I pulled her on top of me and continued to skid on my right arm. luckily Sarah didn't get hurt too bad, just a goose egg on hear head and a few scratches... She was so brave though. My right arm is pretty torn up. The slides are made of fiber glass so technically my arm is burnt. I went to the doctor yesterday and they gave me vikodin and got me all patched up... Here are some pictures :)

Home

We have lived in our new house for about 3 weeks and have been fairly productive. David is somewhat of a workaholic. Within the first 2 days he had already built a workbench in his garage and a folding table for the laundry room! He will work a 10 hour day and come home and pour concrete. That was his major project this week. We have an 18' slider downstairs going to the back yard that David feels is poorly supported. He decided to put beams in for extra support. So far he has broken up the existing concrete and re poured with brackets that will hold the beams. This was a major project! Now all that is left to do is put in the beams.
This weekend he is going to pressure wash the house so that we can paint the house next weekend. Busy Busy Boy!! He has also pulled up and filled in the creepy cellar, and built a fire pit.
I like to keep the work on the lighter side and install things like, shelf paper. I got the whole kitchen done which makes it feel SO much cleaner. Bear has adjusted nicely to the new house and has done better with not barking at the poor little girls next door. There is so much more to do around here, but in the meantime we are enjoying our home :)
