Car for sale

We posted our car on Auto Trader this morning so hopefully we will have good luck selling! Justin took the pics for the ad and we got it detailed for this particular photo shoot earlier this week. We took it to a lady who did it all herself and did such an amazing job cleaning it looks brand new! So if there are any takers out there just log on and check it out. Our friend Amy's birthday is Tuesday so we went to Oklahoma City with her and her family to celebrate an early birthday. We saw the movie Cop Out and had a yummy lunch down in Bricktown. The movie was pretty funny and lunch was very good! Here at home all the dogs have cabin fever like crazy! We are ready for nicer days to get back to walking regularly! Our little Josephine has been on antibiotics and steroids for 2 weeks now for a rash infection and I guess it is reacting with her bladder because it is like we have a puppy again or something?! Today big day of sports with Lakers day game, NASCAR in Vegas, and the USA hockey game so Justin is in heaven!! We hope everyone has a great week and we send all our love~G and J

One Year

We have been married one year! Time has completely flown by and has been a dream come true! We celebrated by going down to a steak house called Mahogany and it was delish! We saw the Valentines Day movie which of course I cried I thought it was very cute! Today we had breakfast at Mimi's Cafe and headed back home. This afternoon it actually snowed here! If we had this crazy weather a year ago I would have been even more high strung then I already was trying to predict the weather for our wedding, oh poor Justin having to put up with my crazyness! But we sure were blessed last year with such an amazing day and a memorable ceremony. I fall more in love with Justin with each day and think it is amazing how God works! Sending all our love~G and J

early Fat Tuesday celebration

We celebrated Mardi Gras this weekend at our house. Had an early Fat Tuesday celebration before Lent starts. We made a King Cake for the celebration. Neither of us had ever had King cake much less made one before. The tradition is to hide a baby or coin in the cake and whover finds it in their piece has a year good luck. We ended up hiding a coin in the cake which Kenzie found so she has the year of good luck and gets to host the next party. We ordered Pat O'Brien glasses for everyone and the famous Hurricane mix from Pat O'Brien's.

Our cake is the circle, we ended up buying one as well which is the one in the container. We wanted a back up just in case our homeade did not turn out very well but it turned out to be acutally the better one.

Kara made some delish gumbo and Amy made hushpuppies. We had a very festive dinner and lots of fun!

Mike made Amy a t-shirt to flash with for beads which was looked so real. He used air brushing to make the t-shirt. She said our faces went blank for a second when she initally showed us. Too funny!!

Erin brought the kereoke machine and everyone had fun singing!

Happy early Fat Tuesday everyone! We hope y'all have fun celebrating!!

All our love, G and J

San Diego

Our dear friend and her son had a trip planned to San Diego and invited us to come along. She reserved a place right on the ocean in Coranado at one of the Navy Bases since she is Air Force. It was a great weekend getaway and much needed time with our dear friend!! We got into San Diego last Friday. We found a cute Mexican restaurant to have lunch and it was delish!!

Our first night there we went down to the main strip and toured all the boats at Maritime Museum. It was a total of 6 ships and 2 submarines. Pretty amazing the history behind each one and being aboard looking at all the exhibits.


Saturday was the prettiest day we were there so we took advantage of a day outside visiting Sea World! It was a lot of fun, I have been to the one in Texas as a child so only remember a few of the things and Justin had never been before.
We got there first thing in the morning and it was dolphin feeding time. Justin said they felt rubbery and very weird.
The main man Shamu!!!
We sat at the top of the splash zone thinking how bad can we really get wet up here? Oh wow, we got soaked...Shamu does not mess around! The crowd learned the 'splash' hand command and Shamu did just that, splashed us all!

That night we met up with Justin's friends from dental school. We met them in the La Jolla area for dinner and had a great time catching up. His best friend lives in the Los Angeles area and him and his wife drove down just for the night to meet up with us. (We love you Andy and Jessica and wish we could have spent more time with you both! We hope to see y'all soon!)
Sunday we went down the Coronado peninsula for a scenic drive. We walked along a pier and watched surfers catch some waves. There was a storm coming in and I guess the surf was up. We found a cute restaurant for brunch and then found a pub for Justin to watch the Vikings game.
We drove through the Balboa park area and it was beautiful.
We made reservations at a restaurant that is known for the sunset view but since the storm was coming in we did not get to see it. The view was beautiful though and the food was amazing.

Our flight home Monday was good and we made it out of California right before all the crazy weather hit. We had such a great time Chanie! Thanks again and we miss y'all already! Hope everyone is doing good and we love y'all!! xoxo~G and J

Happy 2010!!!!

Happy New Year! We had friends over to bring in the new year and had a great time. Of course these party animals had to be included as well....

We got a chimenea for Christams and used it for the first time on New Years eve. It was very cold outside but our friends humored us and stuck out the 15 degree temps cuddled up around a fire that let off barely any heat! I am sure the chimenea will be wonderful when it is just not as freezing outside. Our speakers outside recently got hooked up as well so we jammed out to the New Years special on sirius and had a lot of fun. We hope everyone had a wonderful New Years and we wish everyone a wonderful 2010 ahead!!

Sporting out beautiful 2010 glasses! Love them, too fun!

"Shots, Shots, Shots....everybody"...dang LMFAO song!:) Cheers to 2010!

"Shake it like a Polaroid picture.."


All our love, G and J!!! xoxo!!!

White First Christmas

This year we had a white Christmas. The entire state of Oklahoma was in a state emergency because of the weather. Oklahoma City got record levels of snow reaching 14 inches, our area only got a couple of inches. The wind chill though was very brutal so we stayed indoors for the holiday. We entertained ourselves by watching movies and of course Christmas movies as well.

We cooked dinner on Christmas. We made prime rib roast and it turned out very good! It was our first time with this cut of meat. We did a reciepe we recieved from a wine club and served it with the wine as well. Had to take a picture! Very simple ingredients of just salt and pepper but it made a delicious crust and was yummy. Lakers played as well on Christmas but did not do very good. I guess it was big game against Shaq so Justin was bummed. We played new Wii games- Where's Waldo and Family Feud- very fun!! Where's Waldo brought back memories we both loved those books as kids and had fun paying it!
We got an early Christmas present on Wednesday when I got the dye radiograph done and we found out everything is open. The dye made it's way to the ovaries! I took medicine last week to help me with ovulation this month so we will see how that does. Thank you for all of your prayers and wishes for us. We appreciate it so much and appreciate all of your support. Love y'all so much! xoxo~G and J

First Christmas

Our first Christmas! We bought a real tree this week to put up. This is the tree right after we put it up and lights on. We did not realize the ornaments do not come with hooks so those are still not up on the tree yet! We did rig up our own hooks for the ornaments that said "First Christmas" so we could put those up.

Our tree topper the pug angel! Way too cute!! Only a mug a momma could love! :)
This is the houndies checking it out for the first time. The dogs do surprisingly well with the tree, (so far at least) I know I probably just jinked myself! They have a bit of short term memory, every time we reenter the living room they do a double take and have to go sniff it up. I tried to put the skirt up high enough to avoid them from realizing there is water in that stand.
New update on the fertility, this past week started BCP and then abruptly stopped taking them so I would start which it did work. Who knew I would be so excited about a period?! :)So I am scheduled for the HSG test next week and will know more at that time what to do next.
