weekend update with Jamie....

Boy, I kind of suck at updating this thing, I get a post started and then never finish it! ITS HALLOWEEN WEEK! FINALLY!!!!
Lets see, things have been getting better on the homefront, but I do feel like as soon as things get to point where I am really happy, something happens that drags me down again. I know that I want to be with him, there is no doubt in my mind... I have never doubted it. I just dont know what I need to do different to make it work, to make him happy & me. I am trying though.

The Wild season has FINALLY started, we are 6-0-1 which is fantastic! Jarrod & I have gotten to one game together, I am really excited to bring my dad for his 49th Birthday on the 20th of November but SHHH dont tell him! :)















We had Katee Hall's wedding this last weekend, it was beautiful. Everything was planned so perfectly that my job as her personal attendant was easy easy! She looked amazing, as every bride should and it makes me more anxious for the day that I will be the one in the white gown!

Jarrod and I have had some fun dressing up Rokit... here he is with a sheriff hat and a little rider on his back!
We are gearing up for Halloween around our house, Jarrod is going as Lt. Dangle from Reno 911 and is going to look awesome, he is going to such lengths as to dye his hair, shave his legs and he is going to sport a fake 'stache. I am going with Vicki as a flapper from the Roaring 20's, Vicki has this great silver dress and we are going to curl her hair all up, and put a scarf in her hair. I am wearing just a plan black fringe dress but I am excited to sport a fun blonde wing for the night! These are the first "sneak peak" photos of halloween... and Vicki & Jose (aka me having fun with Jarrod's 'stache.

Vicki and I had a "Seth and Evan" day a weekend ago and got to run around doing some fun stuff. We played in the woods by my folks and then went shopping for Halloween and to the book store, where I found the book I was looking for!

This photo was taken by Vicki, she is great and I thought it was a fun one to close with.

Broken...

Man, it's been a while since my last post. I have been busy with alterations, Halloween costumes, working at the office & working at the bar.

Jarrod & I had a scare with Rokit (the Min Pin pup) last Friday. Got home late Thursday night and let the dogs outta the kennel, Ernie took off as usual and we usually just let him run around till he comes home. Well Rokit ended up getting off his leash & took off too... he is so fast that is horrible to catch him, almost impossible in fact. So tried for a lil bit to get him but he took off toward the cow pasture so we just figured he would come home in a few hours, like usual.

Well... Jay stayed up till 4:30 am and he still hadn't returned so he laid down for a few hours, I had to work so I went to bed around 2:45. well I woke up at 7:30 and Jarrod said he still wasn't home...

I called the Crossroads Animal Shelter, the Humane Society & Adopt-a-pet in Buffalo in hopes that he had been turned in during the night. Unfortunately there was no sign of him anywhere... she I gave a description & our numbers & crossed my fingers for some response.

About 30 minutes after I called, Jarrod got a call from the Crossroads Animal shelter and Rokit was there, a police officer brought him in, they said he had a few cuts and seemed very timid (which is not like Rokit at all). Once we got him from the shelter we knew right away he needed to be seen, he was not walking on his back legs. Well turns out that he has a broken L7 vertebra in his back.

So the little guy needs lots of love and attention right now, at least a month till he is able to run and more than likely he will always have slight problems when walking.

We owe great thanks to Jen & Adam for taking Ernie for the weekend, it was nice to be able to give all our attention to Rokit! And they must have really worn him out because he spent all Sunday sleeping outside, AMAZING!

What else has happened lately, I got some drunk driver arrested the other day. I was leaving work on Monday night & this blazer came flying behind me. So I slowed down to make sure I didn't get hit... well the guy fly around the side of my car and then up the back entrance hill. So I was going to follow him & call him in for reckless driving... but as I came up the back hill I couldn't see him car... until all of a sudden these lights emerged from the ditch across the road. The guy had come over the hill so fast that he must have jumped the road and hit the ditch.

He backed up and rammed forward a few times (hitting a tree in the process) and then finally flew up the ditch and back onto the road. Well I called 911 and had wright county dispatched out to find him... I continued to follow him as I was on the phone and luckily the guy got a flat tire and had to pull over... making it EASY for the cops to find him. I guess he blew a .15 almost twice the legal limit... after my history I am actually glad to see someone hopefully learn a lesson... drinking and driving just don't mix.

It sucks to be the rat & have to see someone get arrested but I always say to myself... "what if my little sister was driving on the same road as this guy" or my sister and my nephew or my mom... I wouldn't want their lives in danger so it's for the better that he is off the road.

Well back to work.. both jobs today so I am hoping for strength to get me through a long day & hoping for a good attitude to give to my customers.

Take care....
