Sorry ladies, he is mine...

The most simple question can go such a long way...

After a long day of running errands we are both exhausted and finally on our way home...

Randy: Do you think that you have enough gas in the car for the week or would like to me to stop now to fill the car up?

That's it! That's all I need! I love that he thinks of the small things. I have never felt so safe! So protected! So loved! He is the most amazing, thoughtful, loving person that I have ever known and I can't believe that he is mine! Not just for now... but FOREVER!!!

Sorry ladies, he is MINE!!!

We are getting a dog!!!!

Not just any dog but a narcotics dog! I have wanted Randy to get a police dog ever since we doggy sat Daro (MJ's police dog). I loved him! We had him for two nights and he followed me around the house. Not that the house was all that big because at the time we lived in the one bedroom Foothill Ranch condo. Daro could basically sit in the middle of the hall and see me at all times. But if I was in bed, he was right there. If I was on the couch, he was right there. I loved him! Unfortunately he already had many years on him by then and he passed away very soon after that fun weekend.

Well we are finally getting a dog!!! Randy went to look at them last week and there were only a few to see. Two Labs and a Malinois. Both Labs were a good looking brown, one was short and "chubby" and the other had big brown eyes that grabbed Randy as soon as he walked up. The Malinois was too intimidating, and considering we would like to start a family soon we thought a Lab or a German Shepherd would be a better fit for our home. So far Randy's favorite is Duke, the Lab with the big brown eyes. But Randy will go back early next week because the owners just left to pick up some more dogs from Europe. We don't know what dogs they will get so we are hoping for a German Shepherd but no matter what... I am so excited because...

The Perfect Birthday Party Dress...

So my FABULOUS husband has decided that I deserve a party. Why? Well I am going to be the big... the dreaded 3 0 !!! and on top of that... Well, I finally graduated from College!!! Whoo Hoo!

So the guestlist has been made, a very small group of my closest friends, and the evite has been sent (most have responded except a few... I won't mention any names but you know who you are!) and I have the perfect vision of what the house is going to look like. Lots of pink! I feel like a child again but who cares! It's so fun! I have been to the party store, I know exactly what I am going to buy. We have been to Costco and we know exactly what food we are going to serve... So now what?

All that is left is..... the dress......... easy right?

Ok Seriously, How hard can it be to find a 30th birthday party dress??? Right? WRONG!!! Either I am getting really old or my taste is just sooooo far off from the rest of the world because all the dresses are either too mom-ish (sorry moms...) or too slutty or just too funky... I mean seriously... who wears socks with a dress and heels?? So I finally find the perfect dress. I have searched a million websites, I have spent hours upon hours at the local malls and finally online at a store called Dillards, yes, a department store hmmm I never thought I could find a fabulous dress at a department store called Dillards but I did! YAY! I'm willing to buy it online and pay for shipping only because it has been a LOONG difficult journey. So I click on the color "Sangria" see why the dress is perfect? Sangria... yum! ... then the size... SERIOUSLY! 10?! That's all that you have? A size 10!!! Come on! I have agonized for days... (I hate to pay shipping for a dress that I have not tried on and if it doesn't fit then I have to pay for return shipping and then I am back to square one of no dress) So I have agnoized for days... buy it? or keep looking? I finally decide BUY IT ALREADY! And all they have is a size 10...

The search is back on for that perfect, fabulous birthday party dress... Any suggestions???
