Hello, I have been very bad about blogging lately. I admit I used to blog at work most of the time and then for quite awhile they had blogs blocked so I wasn't able to keep up. I since have been really slacking!
Not too much is going on however.
Last weekend we had a shower for Sara Reed, it was really fun and she got some great stuff!!
It seems that everyone is pregnant...Sara Reed, Sara Fisel, Jen Hilliard, and Miranda Zimmerman!! Just so crazy! we are still planning on waiting but not for long, we will try mid next year!! As of now we have a cruise planned for Feb and I am going to Vegas with the girls to celebrate the year we turn 30 in May so after that game on!!
Pumkins
Justin and I went to the pumpkin patch tonight and picked out some pumpkins, it was fun!!
A couple years ago I saw a Martha Stewart show where she painted glue on pumpkins and then put glitter on them...here was my attempt at it!!

Hello again
Hello! I have not blogged for quite some time! They blocked our access at work and I've been lazy and have not done it at home! I had my first real workout in 5 months tonight, boy am I out of shape!! I am already sore, but its a good feeling!!
I have really been thinking about starting my own business, a doggy daycare/dog boarding/grooming. I really want to do it but I need to find land, $$ and all the specifics, I am trying to get as much information as I can and go for it, I would love to do it by January but I don't think that is going to happen, we'll see! Wish me luck!! I really think I would like running my own business and working for myself.

Babies galore!
Last weekend I went to my friend Sara's baby shower. She lives in Spain and will only be here for a couple more weeks so they had it early, I am so happy I was able to go and to see her prego!! She won't be back until after the baby is born, she is due in Feb.
So many people are pregnant right now it is crazy, don't worry I am not announcing anything! If things go as planned you won't be hearing it from me until next year!!
As of now 4 of my close friends are pregnant, and one friend is trying! About 4 friends/family had babies this year and we will have about 4 more next year! so exciting
Baby Cameron turns one next month, I can not believe he is going to be one, he is growing up so fast and is so close to walking on his own. Such a big boy!!

Pictures from Iowa
Here are some pictures I took when we were in Iowa
Kayla and I were swinging on grandpa's swing
If you look close you can see the sheep!

Lawn swing
Over the last year my grandpa built me my own lawn swing, there was always one at my grandparents, my parents had one and I think my uncle has one and I now have my very own, the last one built by my grandpa! I am so happy to have this from him. We brought it back from Iowa with us and got it up this weekend. It is right in the back yard by the field, it will a nice relaxing place to go swing. I know Kayla will love to come over and swing on it!!
updates
Hunter was the stray dog that we had for about a month. I am happy to announce that he went to his new home about 2 weeks ago, we found a really great family that lives on a farm and has a pond, 2 younger boys for him to play with, I think he is very happy at his new home. Although I cried when he left I am sure he is being taken care of very well.
So most of you know that I have been wanting a fence put up for about 2 years or longer...well the time had FINALLY come!! I think we will have it up in a week or so!! You have no idea how happy I am!!

Last Wednesday my grandpa passed away, he was my last living grandparent. I can only be so happy that we had so many great years with him, he got to see me get married and he got to meet 2 great grandchildren.
We all went to Iowa for the funeral which was very nice. We stayed at my grandparents house which was different with both of them being gone now. Kayla got to go to the farm for the first time, she liked seeing the sheep and playing with Mika! It was so nice to see family, just too bad it was for that reason. We got to visit my dad's grave. Since it is in Iowa we don't get to go very often, I am really thinking about having it moved back here, I mentioned to my mom once but we'll see if we can work something out!
My mom is so strong, in her lifetime she has lost a brother, husband, and both parents, along with grandparents, aunts...
The next day Justin's 15 year old cousin died. He was on his 4-wheeler and was hit by a truck. It was such a tragic thing, it is still very hard to even believe. It was very hard for the family. I can not imagine losing a child or even a sibling. It was so sad to see all of his friends at the viewing and funeral, to be 15 and to lose a friend would be so hard.
It is sad that it takes things like this for us to realize how great our friends and families are. I love you all and appreciate you more each day!!
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers

MISHAWAKA - Joshua Reed was a very vibrant 15-year-old boy. He was taken from this world by a truck accident on Thursday evening. Josh was a bright light who warmed all around him. He loved ATVing, snowboarding - anything fast. Josh was much loved by family and friends. Our hearts ache with his loss. He was beautiful and smart, and we loved him with all our hearts. Josh was a true friend to so many; he cared and helped whenever he could. He was big-hearted and always tried to do the right thing. He will be missed by all who knew him and loved him. There will never be anyone to replace him. He was a great asset to his family, always helping his Dad on our dairy farm. He was a Madison Twp. 4-H member, showing both pigs and cattle. Josh loved his My Space page and how it let him keep in touch with his many friends. The family would like all of his friends to leave a message on his page so we can read it. If you have pictures to share, his family would appreciate it. Josh was a Penn High School freshman, having come from Grissom Middle School. He was the greatest son anyone could ever ask for: I pray that God takes care of my baby now. Josh is survived by his father, David Reed; mother, Marci Reed; brothers, DJ (Heather) Reed, Eddy (Jenn) Reed, Jakob Reed and Jonathan Reed; maternal grandparents, Ed and Shirley Thomas of South Bend, Charles and Berniece Vogel of Ft. Worth, TX; paternal grandfather, James (Elaine) Reed of Cassopolis, MI; and many aunts, uncles and cousins, and one nephew, Jackson. Josh was a parishioner at Holy Family Catholic Church. Visitation for Josh will be held from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. with a Rosary at 3:30 p.m. Monday, September 7, in the Hahn Funeral Home, 505 W. 8th Street, Mishawaka. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 1:00 p.m. Tuesday, September 8, with visitation one hour prior in Holy Family Catholic Church, 56405 Mayflower Road, South Bend, with Rev. Bernard Galic officiating. Burial will follow at St. John's Cemetery, Woodland. Memorial contributions may be made to Riley Children's Foundation, 30 South Meridian Street, Suite 200, Indianapolis, IN 46204.

Tattoo Party!
This weekend I had a tattoo party, I know it sounds crazy but its actually great! The artist comes right to the privacy of your own home and you can have your friends over! Some just watch and others get some ink!!
Here are some pictures of the brave ones!
I got my toe tattoo touched up, I got it 10 years ago so it needed it!
Jennifer was brave, she got 5 butterflies!
Justin's cousin Alain got flowers on her wrist
My sister Abbey got Alexia's name on her side
Such neat writing!
My friend Abby got the "Aum" symbol on her side
Next I am going to get my dad's initals with some angel wings, I planned to get it that night but couldn't decide exactly how I wanted it, so he will be back in 2 weeks and I'll get it then!!!

Duke and Hunter
So here are a couple pictues of Duke and Hunter playing, they do love to play!! Hunter is the stray that I am still trying to find a home for however it looks like as of now we are his home!!
There are a couple people interested if they could just come and see him I know they will love him.
The longer we have him the harder it is going to be to give him to a new family. As long as I know they will be good to him and love him it will be ok.
If we had a fence I would keep him but it is just too hard with 2 dogs, one who will stay and doesn't need tied up and one who would just run for days! It is kinda funny that the one that needs to be tied up is Duke! Hunter runs around the yard but that is about it, no worries that he will take off, Duke is another story and our home is the only one he knows!

More Dogs!
Ok, so I have a calling, if only I could make some money donig it and have my own business I would!!
I need to find homes for 2 dogs.
About 2 weeks ago a stray came to our house, he is a very sweet dog and he is so nice. I found him a home and they had him for a week but the girl is allergic and it wasn't going away. They brought him back last night. He is a lab-newfoundland mix. He is really good with kids and other dogs. They said he only had 1 accident in the house the whole week! I think he is maybe a year old. very playfull and so nice....
The next one is Rockie's son's dog Marley. She is a basset hound about 2 years old. She needs to be the only dog and no kids. She likes to be the only one!!
If you know anyone that is looking for a dog or wants a dog Please let me know!!!!
Thanks!!

10 Year High School Reunion
Last weekend we had our 10 year high school reunion...I can't beleive I have been out of high school for 10 years!! Class of 1999!!
It wasn't like I thought it would be...I guess I wanted it to be like a movie!! You know, everyone dresses up, you wear name tags, there are awards, stuff like that...nope!
Friday night people could meet up at Corby's. Instead we went to our friend Dave's house, it was a lot of fun and did get to see people I haven't seen since high school. I think lots of groups did their own thing on Friday.
Saturday there was a picnic during the day and then you could go to a Silverhawks game that night...I opted to not do either of those but then everyone met up at Bar Louie so we did that. Again, it was fun just not how I thought it would be!!
Pretty much everyone looked the same!
Ginny, Heather and I talked Jeff, our class president, to do another one at 15 years and then 20. We told him we would help plan it and that we wanted it at Penn and to do a Prom theme, then maybe I'll get my "movie" reunion!!!

My Dad
Yesterday was the day my dad died 12 years ago. It is hard to believe it has been that long. In some ways it seems like it has been longer but in other ways it seems like it was yesterday. My sisters were 12 when he died so they have lived half their life without him.
Last night us girls went to dinner and talked about old stories! It was fun to be my family!
I have this picture on my dresser in my room of me and my dad when I was a baby

Twins
This is always bound to happen when you and your friends have the same shirt! Anna and I knew we both had this shirt we have always been lucky enough to wear it on different days...well today I got to work and we both had it on! Oh well!
one time Woodlee and I both wore Save the Tata's shirts to the mall-not on purpose-and people keept looking at us, we just acted like we had done a breast cancer charity walk right before we got there!! : )

Weekend in Indy
This weekend I went to visit Heather in Indy. Friday night we met up with Alissa and went to the No Doubt concert, it was awesome!!
I took Duke with me to Indy because Justin was going to be working most of the time while I was gone and I felt bad leaving him. He was a very good car rider and was SO excited to see his friend Knute!!! They played and played all weekend, they got some naps in too though!!

On Wednesday Kayla came and she loved the animals-she really takes after me!!!
