Red Thread To China 2007

This is my new baby ELVIS. He is a Toy Yorkie weighing only 1.4 lbs. He is such a good natured pup and Lola loves him.

Well Friday the 16th was our 7 month LID anniversary. As usual we went to eat Chinese food to celebrate. I love Chinese food!!! The day couldn't go by fast enough. We were going to go to the movies also but it didn't start until midnight and I had to work Saturday, so that wasn't happening. It was a great day anyway.


So now let me tell you about the newest member of the family. As some of you may know when me moved to Paradise our 2 oldest children stayed behind in Weatherford and are living in an apartment. Well they took thier chihuahua's with them. And much as I hate to admit it I miss them. So even though I said that I didn't want any animals in the house I have been wanting a Yorkie for some time. We were going to Wal-Mart the other day to get a few groceries and there they were in the parking lot..... a couple selling Yorkies!!!!!! Well I guess I wore Jerry down because he actually said get one not no you don't need another dog. I was shocked to say the least. So here we are with a miniature yorkie that we named Elvis ( I think ). He is just the cutest little puppy in the world. I will post pictures when I get new batteries for the camera. He is so sweet but mischevious also. He is always into something. Lola our mini schnauzer doesn't know what to think of her yet, she tries to play with him but ends up knocking him across the yard.

One more thing, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LITTLE SISTER!!!! She is 41 today.

Today was the 7 year anniversary of the first day we met. It's hard to believe that it has been that long. Jerry took me to a great Bed & Breakfast down in Glen Rose, Texas. It was awesome!!!! It was called Bussey's Something Special. We stayed in the room they call The Cajun Cowboy Bunkhouse. The room was great. It was decorated in a cajun/western theme. There was a small kitchenette, bathroom and living room/bedroom area. It was so nice to get away for a couple of days. We have been so busy with the house and everything that we have forgotten to take time for ourselves. It was so restful. We went to so many antique shops and had so much fun. We found alot of neat things and went to a place called Fossil Rim animal park. I got to feed the animals, it was cool because they would come right up to your car. A few of them even stuck thier head in the window and tried to lick me. Jerry laughed so hard watching me squirm in my seat trying to get away from them. I would reccomend staying there if anyone would like some rest and relaxation. We will definetly visit again in the future. When I get the photos back, I will post some of the room.

Take care everyone.

Wow, this is awesome. I have internet again after 3 weeks. For those of you who don't know we sold our house and are living in our travel trailer until our house is built. It is quite the experience let me tell you. We should have things ready to start on the foundation before the end of the month.... everyone keep your fingers crossed. the builder has the plans now and should have all the bids by the end of next week, so we can go to the bank. We hope to be in the house in 6 to 8 months. This is our goal because unfortunately Jerry will be headed to Iraq again next year, probably in September 08. So he will be gone for another year. Anyway I will post a picture of the house in the near future for eveyone to see. I am excited and scared at the same time. In the mean time I have been keeping very busy with trying to establish a small yard for all my plants and starting on my 100 good wishes quilt for Mylie/Levi. Will post more later.

WOW!!!! Has it been awhile since I posted. Well the internet was down because we moved it and the satellite had to be re-positioned. They are coming out today to set up the new pole and get it going......keep your fingers crossed. I can only get on certain sites at work and this is the first time I could access blogger. They might restrict it after this......... Anyway where we moved the travel trailer that we are living in temporarily until our house is built there are so many trees that the satellite can't get over the tops of the trees, so we are going to have to mount it quite a ways away. So that means we have to dig a ditch across our make shift yard across the gravel drive to the other side of the field to mount the satellite on a telescoping pole so that we can get reception. No offense to anyone but I sure do feel like I could be one of those rednecks that Jeff Foxworthy always talks about. You might be a redneck if......you live in a travel trailer with a dirt yard, a shed for a closet and your internet cable running across your yard!!!!!!!
Man I hope we can start on the house soon. We are working on the dirt part of the yard this weekend, hopefully laying some sod.

The part of property that we are building on has never been cleared or anything, so we have alot to do to get grass established and brush clearing. But it is coming along. I have been meaning to post some pics, but haven't had the time or internet to do so yet. I will work on that soon.

Everyone have a great weekend!!!!!!!
