Do I look smart?

Have you read any good canine books lately?

Paul's Birthday Pics!

Paul celebrated his birthday on December 29th. Below are some pics of his gifts.

Happy Birthday to ME!!

Thanks all for the birthday wishes. I felt so loved today when family and friends remembered me on this day. Paul surprised me with gifts, dinner, and friends. The most exciting gift is a whale expedition from San Diego. I have been saying that I want to go on an Alaskan Cruise because then I would be able to see all kinds of wild life. Paul really listens to me and he got me a whale expedition. (Thank you, Paul, for being such a good husband!)

Now that NMMI has started a new year/new semester, our traveling is beginning to pick up again. Paul and I will be gone January 15th-22nd on a recruiting trip to Las Vegas, NV!! Our next planned trip is to Chicago from March 8th-12th. We will also have some shorter trips planned in between but that is what we know for now. Just thought we would keep you all in formed of our whereabouts.

We have been busy making home improvements. Yes, we are sanding floors again! We ripped out the carpet in the "guest bedroom" now formally known as the "doggie room." That does sound kinda of gross, but it is coming along great. We now have one more room with carpet which is our room. I don't know when that carpet will be coming out. Our goal is to not have any carpet in our house.

Paul had drill this weekend but was pretty happy about the Dallas Cowboy's victory over the Eagles. I have been busy with work and household chores. The doggies keep us pretty busy too.

Christmas Pics!

We hope that everyone had a wonderful and safe Christmas. We did. Paul and I opened presents on Christmas Eve morning. Then we drove to Midland and spent the rest of Christmas with friends and family. Thanks Brenda for allowing the doggies to part of the 2009 Christmas.We will be heading to Chama for New Year's. That is where Paul proposed.

Speaking of proposals, we celebrated our 3rd Anniversary on December 23rd. Paul got me the most beautiful flowers. A dozen roses. Three orange (my favorite color) roses to represent the 3 years we have been married.

While we were in Midland, Gordies saw herself in the mirror. Check out the video below to see what she thought of her reflection:

She was not a happy camper. Notice the darkness on her back. That was her mane going up. She sounds really scary. I don't think I have heard her growl like that before. Silly pup!

Here is a little peek of how much fun we had on our 7 day cruise to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. More pics to come.

!Sorry. It's a little dark but you can see Paul shake it!)

Christmas Time!

Since Paul left to Virginia for the week, we decided to put Christmas lights and our little tree up the day after Thanksgiving.

(Yes, I know. The far left stocking is for a CAT. We grabbed the wrong one.)
