Bella and Shady, my babies!

I thought today I would write about my wonderful babies, Bella and Shady. They are my boyfriend and I's pride and joy. The love we have for them can't even be put into words. I honestly feel like they are our children. Will got Shady in May of 2008 before we started dating. I knew him and saw Shady when he was just alittle baby. He was so cute. Will resuced him from the pound when he was just alittle baby. He is a lab and pitbull mix and has the biggest heart in the world. He loves to cuddle and always be right by us. His favorite things to do are sleep, eat (he's a fat boy), play with plastic water bottles, any toys that squeak, and paper towel rolls. He pretty much amazing. He always knows when I am upset and comes and cuddles and gives kisses. He just makes my heart smile! He just turned three on April 20th. We spent his birthday by taking him to the dog park to play. He loves goes and playing with the other dogs.




I got Bella in June of 2008 before Will and I started dating. I didn't want a Yorkie, I wanted a maltese but to make a long story short Bella became mine. She was so tiny, she was only supposed to be about 5 pounds but now at almost three years old she weighs right about ten pounds, which isn't bad at all. She loves to play, her favorite toys are balls, and squeak toys. She loves to chase squirrels and birds, so she isn't a prissy dog at all. I tried putting bows in her hair and clothes on her even when she was little but she wanted no part of it. As our two families came together Bella and Shady have grown to love each other and have such a great time playing together. It's nice that they have each other for when Will and I are at work. We love our little family and are happy with our fur children (for now ;) that is).

HOPEFULLY THE START OF SOMETHING GREAT!

I have never made a blog before but a few of my friends on Facebook have one and I thought it would be a pretty cool idea to give it a shot. I have no idea what to write but I'm just going with it and maybe I'll even become a better writer. :)
This is my last week of school before finals week which is supposed to start May 2nd but my lovely boyfriend bought tickets to go to Colorado for my grandparents 59th wedding anniversary and my grandpa's birthday as my Christmas present this past year. He didn't think about exams though so I'm taking them alittle early since we are leaving May 2nd. I can't wait to get out there. I LOVE Colorado. It's just breath taking. The mountains are such a beautiful thing to wake up too every morning. We went in November of last year for Veterans Day so we could spend it with my grandpa and also visit a really good friend of mine, Ms. Shoffner. Once we got into Denver we headed straight for alittle town called Fresco with Ms. Shoffner. We spent the night and had a wonderful time then the next day we drove back down the mountain to Colorado Springs. On Veterans Day we went to an awards ceremony with my grandpa and grandma for the Greatest Generation Medallion for World War II Veterans. My grandma was accepting an award on behalf of her brother (my great Uncle Paul who passed away). Before we got there my grandma asked me if I would like to present her with the award. It was an amazing experience and I was so honored to be a part of it. Our trip was such a great trip and I am so happy Will got to meet all of the important people in my family. We can't wait till we get to go back! Here are a few pictures from our trip!
