Here we go again.....

Hello!!!
Well I'm a week off but thats about how life goes here in the foster home :) We've had two puppy classes with bella and she catches on really fast but is also very stubborn so she knows what we want her to do its just a matter of if she wants to do it :). She's a fun and hectic and busy addtion to our family. Some friends and myself from work had a girls night/puppy night on thursday it was tons of fun bella was the smallest but definately dominated the other two dogs LOL. She I believe she will forever think she is a forty pound pitbull ;). Some news about the adults in the house. James got put back on his forty hours!!! Which is great news for us; and couldn't have come at a better time since my OT got cut :( so again we will be about even but hopefully/eventually we will get back on top :). I've been taking a cake class with dawn, this upcoming tuesday will be our last one :( for a minute cause of deer hunt but we will be back in class in November learning all about fondant! I can't wait I've been anticipating this class since we started. I'm excited I have about five cakes on order right one due the end of this week the others are all due in November LOL. So it'll be a busy busy month but its all good. Well that about sums things up sorry its so short but I've got a leash wrapped around my leg with a whimpering dog at the end so I should go!!
But love you all and thanks for reading our little blog

It starts........

Hello,
In reading Dawns blog I thought that it was a good idea, and that I would do one for us as well!! Bear with me I've never done this! I guess I'll start from our wedding and go til current!
Our wedding was June 20th of this year, and although we had some minor hiccups (my videographer cancelled lasat minute, it rained-not rained monsooned lol all day, and the DJ didn't get our announcement song or our first dance right) it was the wedding I dreamed about mostly because James was at the end of the alter waiting for me! James cousin David did an A-M-A-Zing job marrying us, don't think we could've found someone better! The first night we stayed in the Grand America compliments of my fantastic girls friends from work, we were also wisked away in a horse drawn carriage!! Although that kinda turned out like that episode of Seinfeld when Kramer feeds his horse Beef-o-roni lol it was a stinky yet magical ride :). So the next day we drove up to Midway we stayed in a Condo up there for our honeymoon compliments of my likkle brother and his wife. It was a great honeymoon-it was the first vacation we had taken together alone and we loved it at least weekly one of us will say to the other "wish we were back on our honeymoon", we went to this cute little restaurant everyday called breadstix, its on the border of midway and heber it was yummy. Couple of activities that we did, we rented ATV's for an afternoon, we went on the zipline at the olympic park it was super high but super super fun. We ate out a lot and fat, I do believe all the weight lost for the wedding was gained back on the Honeymoon :). We went into parkcity daily and ate at the local eateries and shopped. We were very sad to come back down into the city.
We got back on friday afternoon, and had to pack up our apartment, that had been our home for most of our relationship, it was bittersweet, we were moving up (2 bed; 2 bath washer and dryer) but there were so many memories. We moved into our new place that weekend. Can I just tell you how awesome it is to have a washer and dryer in your home?
So we went back to work that next week; facing reality sucks :).
For my birthday James got me tickets to Cirque Du So Leil which came to the E center right over my birthday!! It was amazing and has made me jones even more to go to vegas and see the other shows!!!
The biggest news is that we have a new addition to our family--- no not a baby well not a human baby lol. We have a fury child, her name is Bella she came home with us on 8/20 and our lives have changed, we no longer are just a couple we are a little family! Its fun and hard and exhausting but I love her so much she's the cutest dog I've ever seen :). She's potty training ok and we just finished her 4rd night of crate training, (mind you mom got a whole nights sleep she didn't wake up once to go potty!!!!) the biggest thing is that she thinks I'm a chew toy which is frustrating the first week I had bruises all over my legs. But she's getting better at that as well. Well I think this post is long enough for my first one I believe that I've got everyone up to speed. I'll post some pictures of everything described soon :)
Love you all
P.S. We just wanted to say thank you to all that helped with our wedding, wether it be monetary, gifts or just being there to support us it was a great day because we had so much support. And I'm working on getting the thank you cards out :)
Loves and kisses
the fosters
