Simon
At the end of a long day, I really enjoy cuddling with my dog, and truth be told he is an ornery little bugger and won't let me snuggle with him unless he is tired. So as I was watching TV last night I looked over at him sleeping on the couch and decided it was just too cute not to document, so I reached over and grabbed Mike's phone and snapped a shot before he stirred. I love it when he lays with his feet sprawled back like that. He makes me smile. :)

Technology bewilders me
My husband is all about the latest and greatest when it comes to technology, and he does a pretty good job of finding new inventions or upcoming products that are just too cool for words. Recently he blogged about Livescribe Smart pens. This little piece of technology is so flippin' fantastic and it just blows my mind that I thought I would share this mind-blowing video to demonstrate how truly fantastic technology can be. My only question is "Why couldn't they have invented this a few years back so I could have used it in school??" Trust me...it's worth watching the entire 7 minute video.

Since last time I...
went on a quick business trip to Houston.

had a hard time adjusting to the new time change.
got a pedicure, which I loved.
went to Stillwater.
listed our house through a realtor who happens to be a friend.

Big Foot Encounter
Mike and I were sitting on the couch this morning watching TV when Simon started barking uncontrollably while looking out the window. This is nothing unusual for him, so we paused what we were watching, hollered at him to be quiet, and when he wouldn't, I went over picked him up and brought him over to sit with us. He does NOT like this when he sees something outside he wants to bark at, so I spent a few moments trying to get him to quit squirming. It all happened so fast after that it took me a while to process what happened next.
As we are sitting there trying to calm Simon, a white fluffy mass bounces across our yard. Mike and I immediately looked at each other with a puzzled look on our face to see if we really saw what we saw: a white animal--too tall for a goat, bouncy like a kangaroo, and what seemed like a shaved llama. What the?!
We immediately ran to the window and watched as the creature bounced through my dad's empty lot next door and back behind the neighbor's back yard. "What WAS THAT," we both screamed, while simultaneously grabbing our coat and throwing on shoes. I scrambled for my camera and we raced out the door to check out what had just darted through our yard. I tried to have my camera ready while running through the lot just in case we got another glimpse, but I must say running and focusing a camera is not an easy task.
I guess we were running to hard and fast because as we rounded the corner of my neighbor's backyard, the critter, who had stopped for a breath, started darting into the woods behind our neighbor's house. I quickly snapped my camera and got a glimpse of him, but it's pretty blurry. I immediately went to make a call and ask my dad what it could possibly be (because he knows a lot about weird animals). His best guess, based on our description and the crappy photo that I snapped was that it was an alpaca (see picture below).
Now, I don't know about you, but my first question after "What WAS THAT," was "Why the heck is an alpaca running through our neighborhood??" I couldn't figure it out, but I came to the conclusion that someone is going to be missing that weird guy...after some research, I discovered he could be worth anywhere between $100 and $500,000. For the sake of the owner, I hope he was only worth $100 and wasn't some big time show alpaca that ran his half a million dollar booty through our yard.
Made for an interesting start to Valentine's Day, that's for sure. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it.
Our alpaca looked to have been recently shaved and was not as furry as the other picture below.

Time for a change
21 Birthday parties
10 renovations
20 Christmases
132 campouts in the backyard
15 new friendships made
1 car crash into the garage door
1 horse, 62 pigeons, 1 rabbit, 326 bees, 2 cats, 3 dogs...even a newborn calf in the kitchen once
8 colors of paint on the walls
4894 bike rides in the neighborhood
36 games of capture the flag
6 new trees
1 snake in the washing machine
7140 +/- family meals together
863 hikes in the woods
1 very bad ice storm
8736 loads of laundry
Numerous amounts of laughter shared
Limitless prayers prayed
Countless tears shed
Endless "I love yous" expressed
The time for change has finally come. As of 2 days ago, I put my house up for sale. Soon I will have a new home. I will say good-bye to 21 years of memories in the place I have called home. I will drive away from the only house I've really ever known and drive on to a new place, a new house that I will come to know and love. And along with it will bring new memories. I used to fear change, which I think stems from my inability to adapt well to it. Surprisingly, I have opened up more to the idea and have gradually started accepting it. It's time for a new beginning, and I am excited. It's long overdue. I am ready. I hope it comes sooner rather than later.

Pet Peeve
Like many of you, I have a lot of pet peeves, annoying things that just drive me batty. Yesterday I was reminded of one that quickly rose to the top of my list and I would like to take just a brief moment to step up on my soap box and vent. I promise it will be brief:
I would like to shoot the person who invented call waiting. Better yet, I'd rather sit them down and torture them and ask them questions about their childhood and whether or not they felt unloved growing up. What was once something that I was relieved to have, and got annoyed at people who didn't have it, has now become one of my least favorite technology inventions. Why? It is rude and intrusive. If I am having a conversation with you and you either A) tell me "someone's calling so I gotta go," or B) tell me "someone's calling so I'll have to call you back, or C) tell me "someone's calling, hang on a minute while I see what they want," you are telling me only one thing: "My conversation with you is not important," and that does nothing but make me feel annoyed and unappreciated.
The only good I see coming from call waiting is that when you are having a conversation with a person and someone "beeps in" to your conversation, you can see who it is and call them back AFTER your former conversation...and even then, you really only have caller-ID to thank for that.
Thank you. That is all.

In New York I...
realized that everything truly is bigger in New York City.
won a bet that it wouldn't take us two hours to get to our hotel once our plane landed...enjoyed myself a nice cup of hot chocolate from Starbucks for winning.
rode around Central Park in a horse-drawn carriage.
walked around aimlessly looking for a restaurant in Central Park that unknowingly was $100 a person. (No we didn't eat there.)
woke up early to watch "The Today Show" being taped live.
saw Matt Lauer, Meredith Viera, Al Roker, Kevin Bacon, and a quick glance of Harry Connick Jr.
went up to the top of the Empire State Building.
walked around NYC a LOT.
watched "Phantom of the Opera" and LOVED it!
rode 15 feet in a Town Car and then got out when he told us how much he was going to charge us to take us back to our hotel. Ha ha ha
saw the Big piano in FAO Schwarz.
got lost on the Subway.
walked around in the coolest Apple store I've ever seen in my life.
spent some time in the Museum of Natural History, which was the layout basis for the movie "Night at the Museum."
half expected the people and animals to come to life after having watched the movie.
was extrememly surprised at how difficult it was to catch a cab in a city with 13,000 taxis driving around.
ate New York Sirloin at Uncle Jack's.
learned quickly that restaurants in NYC do NOT give free refills for soda.
took a ferry to the Statue of Liberty.
froze my buns off everyday.
shopped in China Town and Little Italy.
saw the Brooklyn Bridge.
tried a piece of New York style pizza-YUM!
finally conquered the Subway.
walked through Grand Central Station.
waited two hours to eat lunch at the extremely over-rated Serendipity from the movie "Serendipity."
shopped at the largest Forever 21 I've ever seen in my life.
saw the lighted Christmas tree in Rockefeller Plaza.
walked smack dab into a pole on the sidewalk because I was talking instead of watching where I was going. Yes, it hurt. BAD.
saw a TON of dogs walking around the city.
ate a vendor hot dog.
used the bathroom in the Charmin sponsored bathrooms in Times Square, where "the goin' is always good."
drank a ton of hot chocolate.
spent all of our money.
sat in the airport 3 hours waiting for a delayed flight.
nearly read an entire book in one day.
ran like a sprinter trying to win first place in a race trying to make a connecting flight.
decided the only thing I would have changed about this wonderful trip to NY was to come back when it wasn't 29 degrees everyday.
Pictures to be posted soon.

In Vegas I...
ate at House of Blues for the first time.
was too tired to eat dessert...TWICE.
struggled a lot with the two hour time change, immediately following daylight savings.
spoke with a woman named Apple, who was mean.
got chauffeured around a golf course on a golf cart.
had someone in our golf tournament get a hole in one--the one year we don't have a HIO prize. Oops.
got yelled at. More than once.
saw some showgirls and acrobats.
learned all about the backstage life of a showgirl in "The Jubilee Show."
saw lion dancers.
celebrated a couple of birthdays.
witnessed my boss win $1100 on a $20 bill on video poker with a royal flush.
high fived and celebrated the big win!
lost every time I gambled...so I quit.
saw the fountains in front of the Bellagio.
walked across the Brooklyn Bridge at NY NY.
realized that Vegas brings out the worst in some people.
decided that I wouldn't give two hoots if I never went back to Vegas again.

In the next several days I will...
go to the dentist and get my teeth cleaned. Ugh.
see Carrie Underwood in concert-woo stinkin' hoo!
see some ghost and goblin kiddos running around.
eat lots of candy.
probably leave my light off on Halloween and go out on a date instead.
clean out my garage (it needs it desperately!).
go to yet another baby shower--I have too many pregnant friends right now.
eat cake...several times.
study, study, study.
TRY to take some time to scrapbook.
spend lots of money buying last minute things for my Vegas trip (I need new luggage).
pull my hair out from being so busy.
leave for Las Vegas.
start getting excited for my trip to New York in December.

Happy Wedding Day
This weekend was a whirlwind. My sister got married on Saturday and even though Saturday feels like ages ago now, it was a really great day. Once the ceremony started everything fell into place and she just looked beautiful. I'm really happy for her and Brad and I am counting down the days until she gets back from Ireland so I can talk to her again. Usually when I travel I have some form of communication whether it's email or phone, so I can always sneak in a quick "hey how's your day." Not this time...I think this may be the first time ever that I will have to go this long without talking to her at all. :( I know she's having fun, but I will still miss her.

At the fair I...
drove around for 40 minutes looking for a parking spot.
almost got in a fist fight with a car full of grannies when we finally DID find a parking spot.
toured a modular home.
saw a horse sculpted from butter.
got peed on by a sugar glider. Ugh.
did not buy something over $4000 this year...finally. :)
people-watched on the midway.
found a shower head that sold for $90! (No, I didn't buy it)
decided that the fair is basically a live version of "As Seen On TV."
watched some pre-schoolers tap dance.
saw some very "white-trash" people.
ate cheese-on-a-stick, an Indian taco, a fudge newberg, potato stack, roasted corn on the cob, a strawberry newberg, and a partridge in a pear tree. (This was over a two day period, btw-I'm not that much of a pig.)
Good times, can't wait til next year!

Dumb
Is David Blaine so bored with his life that he has to keep thinking up dumb things to do to set records? He seriously needs something better to do with his time...

Busy busy busy
Saying "it's that time of year" really doesn't mean anything anymore because it seems to me that my life is always "that time of year" when things are really hectic and slowing down is not in my line of sight anytime soon. It hit me yesterday that September is already half way over. I told Mike the other day that I always forget how much I love fall until it gets here. The weather is cooler but still nice, the fair comes to town (and I LOVE fair food!!), leaves change colors, Halloween festivities/decor, pumpkins...
Traveling for me has taken a rest until November and I admit, it's been nice to be grounded for a bit before my next couple of big trips. My sister is getting married in only three short weeks, so I have been keeping busy trying to organize her bachelorette party and find shoes and jewelry to wear for her big day. I know my worries of finding the right shoes seem trivial compared to all the details she gets to work on. ha! :)
I'm doing my first 5K Run this weekend with my sister. One of our high school teachers passed away from cancer a couple of years ago, so we are participating with a team in her honor. I am looking forward to it. Then, the next two weekends will be full of wedding festivities for my sister. And you better believe I'm going to squeeze in some time to go to the fair. My list of fair food I want to consume always exhausts the number of days I have available to go and eat.
One of my most favorite times of the year starts this week: FALL TV!! I am so excited about the new seasons of some of my favorite shows. Mike and I spent a couple of evenings re-watching the Heroes Season 2 DVDs so we could get a refresher before the premiere airs next week. Really pumped about my fall TV lineup, but a little bummed that Lost doesn't start back up until January.
Mike finished another level of ministry with the Assemblies of God, so as of October 25th he will be a licensed minister instead of just a certified minister. :) I'm really proud of him for completing another year's worth of classes. I am anxious to see what doors the Lord will open for us in music ministry now that he has his license. He is so ready to be doing music full time, and to be honest I am ready for him to be doing music full time too.
We are planning to put our house on the market next spring and move into something a little bigger. We always said that we wanted to move after 5 years, and come December we will have been paying on the house for 5 years. We have a lot of work to do in the coming months to get our house ready. We started doing some of the smaller things over the summer and will work to have everything ready come February/March. It would be wonderful to do a buy/sell simultaneously. ;) I know the odds for that are not great, but we have favor, so I am not worried about it. When the time is right, I know everything will fall into place. I'm so ready to move now it's driving me crazy!! Ha ha
November and December are always busy with the holidays but this year will bring a lot of travel for me: two weeks in Las Vegas for work and an additional week in New York for vacation the first week of December. Can't wait.
I know it's not good to wish my life away, but keeping myself busy gives me extra motivation to look forward to the different activities I have planned in the coming months.

100,000 T-shirts
My friend Jerrod Murr is a cool guy. And Jerrod Murr has cool ideas. This weekend he and his wife came over and I learned just how cool my friend Jerrod Murr really is. Recently he went on a mission trip to Haiti. After returning, he was inspired to raise $500,000 to build Hope Villages for the children in Haiti through the "Mission of Hope Haiti" organization. How does he plan to do this? By selling 100,000 t-shirts of course!
After listening to him talk about how the vision came about and how he has already sold hundreds of t-shirts through events that our church organization hosts, I feel compelled to help him out any way I can. He brings a message of unity and a vision to believe in a better way...and YOU can help be a part of that. Each shirt has its own unique number on the back and is only $15. To help support his goal, be the next person to buy a t-shirt!
