Finally Got The Bug...

UPDATE
  • This weekend Lance and I finally saw Twilight... and we loved it! I have only read the first two books and after Lance saw the movie- we had to go borrow Twilight from my mom.
  • Still no sign of Doc... we have him chipped so our hopes are still high. Lance found an article on KSL.com about a woman who found her dog after 40 and some odd days ... so we just hope he can find his way home.

  • I started school last week and am taking 7 classes... it's going to be a busy semester! Lots of reading and writing... plus I am taking my last math class... (hopefully ever) from the math department which is exciting! I see the end is almost near!

  • One of our new years resolutions is to get in shape! (who's isn't right?) well lance wants to up the stakes by putting a bet on who can loose 10 LBS first.... they get a prize. The prize is still up in the air but I think I know what Lance want... he's been looking up duck boats and dreaming for at least a month!

  • Lance is going to TEXAS this week for a conference and I know he is going to have fun! He really likes all of his co-workers and I am very grateful that he loves his job. He has said on many occasions " I really love my job!" It's so good to know that he is happy with something that he is good at and knows with out a doubt he could do it for the rest of his working career. He is getting ready to take is journeyman test and he is learning a lot working on industrial sites.

  • And finally... my quest in life is to start making different recipes ... we started with a couple weeks ago.. tAcOs! ... so if anyone had any FAIL PROOF recipes ... send them on by! (seriously).

...

So, after telling AT&T who's boss, we finally got our internet card figured out... what a pest it is to think you have something like a warranty (that you pay for) and have them deny and deny you that something is broken. Oh when you have only had it for a little over 2 months and it is not working right in front of your eyes?! Anyway... we got it all figured out and I am now able to update our blog.
So... Christmas was... interesting. Our awesome dog Doc ran away on Christmas eve and we were not able to go out to Lance's parents for the holiday for fear he would come back when we were not there. Christmas was great, Lance and I got each other clothes for (which were much needed, I think) and we were able to spend time with both families this year. Lance's parents were able to come out the day after Christmas... It was so nice to have dinner at our house with them, we finally felt the Christmas spirit. We went and saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button... which I LOVED! The break from school has been nice, I have been deep cleaning our house. Also, the Bradley/Rands craze is knitting scarves... we bought some looms (like the hat making ones, but different) and I have been going crazy.. buying yarn and making scarves. It's really easy, and I think they look cute. I have also been reading harry potter, I finished #6 and started #7 and I am totally a HP addict.
There is still no sign of Doc, but we have been calling the local vet hospital, visiting the animal shelters and keeping in contact with the dog catcher. Our hopes are still high that we may find or that he will come home.
Happy holidays! .... and I hope that you find that you are having a GOOD NEW YEAR!
