Ahhh.... Relaxation

I needed a little bit of rest and relaxation after a stressful day so I took a nice bath.

Drum Roll Please!......

We bought our tickets! This April we are going to........


SCOTLAND! I am so excited! Jason has never been before and I have been itching to go again ever since I went about 5 years ago. Jason's two brothers and their wives are going with us which is great because I find that traveling is always more fun when you can enjoy it with people you love. Anyway, I look forward to posting in April so you can see all our pictures!

Queen of Sales!

I went to my monthly lia sophia meeting tonight. I always having a good time but tonight was especially good because I got queen of sales! That means I sold the most in my team last month. I was surprised but really excited because I won these free movie tickets. Yay!

Christmas is over.....

We took down the Christmas tree today....


But I also helped out at baby blanket making charity thing! I loved the house we were working in.

Nature's Jewels

I have always loved how pomegranate seeds look like rubies.


It makes the fruit that much more fun to eat. Here are the enchiladas we made today.

I thought they looked pretty cool too. We didn't have any shredded cheese so we made do with this sliced pepperjack. Food is great....

Torture

Jason rigged up this torture machine for Mosey while I was grocery shopping.


He strung a Kong filled with treats from the ceiling using fishing line and then had Mosey try to get the treats while the Kong was swinging through the air.


Here is a video of the results:

Infomercial

Tired of your shirts having hanger marks on them? Sick of all your clothes falling down into a pile on your closet floor? So am I! That is why I use huggable hangers! Plus, they double as excellent chew toys!*

Jewelry Displays!

So far when I give lia sophia parties, I have just been strategically arranging the jewelry on a table cloth. I ordered some jewelry display pieces so now I can show off the beautiful jewelry better! Pretty huh?

Puppy Eyes

Yum, Brie!

Today Jesse, Louisa, Jason and I had a baked brie feast. I bought some herbed brie from Trader Joe's, baked it and we all dipped bread and chips into it! YUM!!! So good. I forgot to take a picture before we ate it but you can see how much enjoyed it since just the covering is left....

Winding Down After the Holidays...

Forest Falls Again

My friend Typheni's boyfriend, Anthony, is visiting this weekend from Tennesee. We wanted to meet him so we all decided to hike up Forest Falls. We had never hiked all the way up to the falls before. Mosey pulled me up the whole way basically; he is a very good hiking dog.


Jason stayed at the bottom because his back was hurting him. Here are some pictures at the top!



Afterward, we decided to go back to Typehni's house and hit the hot tub. We made ourselves some berry smoothies and relaxed.



Great day!

It's a new year!

New Year's resolution: Spend more quality time with the family.

Happy Anniversary!

We wanted to do something special for our 3rd anniversary but kind of procrastinated. I decided to call "The Melting Pot", a really good fondue restaurant to see if they had any availability. They had a special menu, for $65. I figured $65 for an anniversary dinner for two was a pretty good deal so I made the reservation.

Everything was beautiful!


We had a very private little booth and a set menu so we didn't even have to fight over what we would order. The first course was cheese fondue with vegetables, bread, and chips to dip in it.


The second course was our main course in which we boiled some vegetables and ravioli.


We downed our complimentary sparkling apple cider and sat back to enjoy each other's company. Our final course was chocolate fondue with beautiful fruit to dip in to it.


Here we are smiling just to be close to each other!


What a stress-free meal we had! Then we got the bill. That is when we realized that the $65 was per person. When I had been to the restaurant before, the price had been per two people. That dampened our spirits to say the least. I told Jason it would make a good story. So we try to tell it to everyone to get our money's worth.

Happy New Year!

Jason and I were determined to stay up to welcome in 2009. We decided the best way to stay up would be to watch a movie. After many disagreements and false starts, I picked one for us to watch all the way through. Right before 12:00am, I turned off the movie and went over to the chaise lounge to celebrate with Jason. Except Jason wasn't there. Mosey was, and Jason was chivalrously sleeping on the ground so Mosey could have the chaise.


This was right before I woke him up to count down with him. I can tell that he was really into the movie.
