Selfie Sunday

This weekend we went to the city and spent some time with my family out at the lake. We had a great time spending the day on the water and being with our family.

We are very blessed to have such a wonderful family and life.

Now we have really sleepy fur-babies, they love to snuggle up with momma on the couch.

Peaks, Pits, Praises, and Prayers

I'm going to start off this weeks Peaks, Pits, Praises, and Prayers with a little weekly recap of everything you can find on the blog from this week. I gave a little update about our Spring Break Vacation, there was more information about Getting Physical for our Healthy Living Journey.  For Wedding Wednesday this week I talked about Wedding Favors and if they are a thing of the past or still something couples should do. I also shared my lust over some gorgeous Bathroom Dreams I've been having for my future home.

Peaks- I am really loving the warm weather we have been having here in Oklahoma. It is giving me the opportunity to wear fun dresses and mix up my style.

One of my #OOTD from this week, rocking dresses and royal blue. 

Another OOTD for this week, rocking dresses almost every day this week! 

Pits- This weather although I'm loving it we are having some bad tornado activity and that just makes me nervous.

Praises- We are one week closer to the wedding! I am so ready for us to be married and to be able to start this new chapter of our lives together. Also, we have our first wedding shower this Saturday and I'm very excited to see some people I haven't been able to see in a while. 

Prayers- For my grandma, she was diagnosed with COPD about a month ago and she quit smoking and has been struggling with it. Just that she will continue to be strong and that she will find strength within herself. Also for all of this crazy tornado weather and that everyone is weather aware and careful. 

My cousin's puppy, Dally, I got to snuggle and love on at Easter last week.

Spring Break Vacation

A few weeks ago I mentioned that we would be going on a road trip and I posted about traveling in style. Today I'm going to share with you a little bit about what we did while we were in Colorado Springs and share with you one of my favorite things to do when I travel to new places. Jarr and I took a little road trip up to Colorado Springs with our sweet fur baby Remy and his parents and brother. It was an 8 hour drive from his parents house but we made it fun by doing some wedding planning on the road and getting to spend time together.

Why yes we did put our German Shepherd in the back of my Mustang. We laid down the back seat put a sheet down so she wouldn't get fur all over everything and we got on the road. Now Remy is a great car rider, she will lay down and chew a bone or take a nap almost the whole way as long as she gets potty breaks and some time to run around every 3-4 hours which is perfect because I usually need a break by then too. 

We did lots of sight seeing while we were there and spent some time investing the town and trying out local eateries which I always enjoy. But my favorite day of our trip we went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. This is my favorite thing to do when visiting places, zoo's are so unique and you always get a fun experience while you are there. This zoo in particular was on the top of a mountain so the view was amazing. 

Behind us is all of Colorado Springs, it was breathtaking to see everything look so little. Another fun thing about this zoo is that they have a Sky View ride  you can take up to the top, which is basically a ski lift. But, you get to see a lot of the zoo and you can check out the animals from a different view. It is really unique and it was a lot of fun to try. By far though, my favorite thing about this zoo was the giraffe's.

When I say they had a lot of them it's not a joke. There were at least 15 giraffe's at this zoo and some were little guys and some were very proud fellows. The giraffe enclosure had you walk around most of their outside enclosure on an elevated deck so you were a lot closer to their heads then the rest of their body. 

A really cool thing you could do at this zoo was feed the giraffe's huge pieces of greens you could buy. We didn't buy any but if you stood right next to someone who did you could get a good picture and usually get in a good pet. This was  a really cool experience and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the Colorado Springs area.

We had a lot of fun on this trip and I really enjoyed the area. This was a part of Colorado I had never explored before and I'm looking forward to going back and riding the tog railway up to Pike's Peak someday. It was closed while we were there due to snow on the tracks.

What do you like to do when visiting new places? Do you have things you always try to do?

Peaks, Pits, Praises, and Prayers

Well it’s Friday! My favorite day of the week. Today is a special day for my family because it’s my momma’s birthday. She is turning 50 today and just keeps getting better with age. So this weekend will be spent with the whole fam bam and we are having a big birthday party for all of the birthday’s this month. We have several, like 8 people whose birthday range from February 17^th to March 5^th so we are having one big celebration as long as a blizzard doesn’t come in and change any plans. Here are my peaks, pits, praises, and prayers for the week.

This is my beautiful momma, doesn't she look amazing for 50?!?!

Peaks- I got a new car on last Saturday! I was rear-ended on my commute home and it ended up totally my car in the process. But I’m looking at it with a positive note and enjoying the new car I got! It was a slightly frivolous purchase for me but I figured you are only young once so I should enjoy it, right?

It might be slightly frivolous but its so much fun and I'm absolutely in love with my car! 

Pits- it has been freezing cold outside here, like snowing and below freezing temperature all week and the snow is coming in today as well. So winter wonderland, I’m ready for it to be gone and to have spring again.

Praises- I’m praising the Lord that he kept me safe during my fender-bender and no one was injured. I have been seriously injured in a car accident before so it was a little terrifying. I’m also praising that everyone has been safe in this crazy weather. It has been pretty bad on the roads but for the most part people have kept the accidents low.

Here is a picture of my sweet Remy girl, she's such a snuggle bug! 

Prayers- As this crazy weather comes in today and all weekend in Oklahoma that everyone stays safe. That my family traveling in for our big birthday bash is careful and that if we all get stuck its together and we have a lot of fun.

What are your peaks, pits, praises, and prayers for the week?

Selfie Sunday

Summer has been crazy for us like everyone I'm sure. It's a day late and a dollar short but we just got back from a small weekend vacay so it's technically my Sunday still. 

My sweet Remy is getting so big! This princess is in obedience school and almost 55 pounds! 

I got a few photos of my babies snuggling together and napping. I'm so happy with my little family and fur-babies.

This weekend we went and watched Jarr's younger brother play in an All-Star football game and we got home last night at about 3:30. So today we slept in, ran a few errands, did laundry, and I made some goodies for Jarr to take back with him for work this week.

He's doing an internship about 5 hours away from home so we only get to see him on the weekends. I'm so thankful that I get the weekends though. It might be all summer but at least it's only 5 days at a time.

Remy's new favorite toy is a laundry basket. 

Both of my babies are snuggle bugs.

Today has been a day of snuggling with my fur babies and playing outside.

I love spending time with my babies.  Remy got spayed on Thursday and had a little hernia removed from her belly so she is a little cone head for a few weeks until she gets all healed up.  She has been so good though and I'm so proud of her.

Peaks, Pits, Praises, Prayers

Well it was finals week for me and Jarr so this week has been a little rough. We haven't had much sleep and we are both pretty worn out. Today is our last real day together until he comes back at the end of the summer. I have to work all day and then we move him tomorrow. It will be good for us in the long run, last summer this was good for our relationship. It really helped us appreciate the time that we did have together and to value that time more. We spent a lot less time on our electronics when we were together and a lot more time actually together. So for this week here are my top peaks, pits, praises, and prayers.

Sweet Remy staying up with me while I finish my last paper, she is worn out from her doggie daycare interview.

Peaks: Finals are OVER!!!! Woooohooooo I cannot express my relief to be done with school for the year. We both had some really tough classes so this is a nice break for us.

Pits: That means that Jarr leaves tomorrow for the summer. He will only be 4 1/2 hours away but we both work full time and we won't know what his weekend schedule will ever be like so it could be a long time without seeing each other.

Praises: I passed my hardest class! I was really worried about passing it because I'm going to be honest, Spanish is not my forte. Three semesters of it and now I am finally done. I cannot thank the Lord enough for helping me get through that.

Prayers: For my sanity this summer, I will be at home all summer with the fur babies by myself. This will be a first with Remy. She is a handful at 5 months as a German Shepherd but she really is a good puppy. I just hope she stays that way when dad is gone and mom is really in charge. We will find out who the real alpha is this summer.

Doggie Daycare

I mentioned on Selfie Sunday that Jarr is going to be leaving for the summer for an internship. He will be moving 4 1/2 hours away so we will only be seeing him on the weekend. So we have decided as a family that since Remy is so young, she's only just now 5 months old, we don't want her staying home alone all day. I commute an hour one way everyday for work so she would be home for nearly 10 hours a day by herself. 

Well, our little princess really is a great puppy. She naps pretty often, she doesn't chew anything up that isn's her toys, and she loves to snuggle, I think she is a great puppy. But, I just can't justify leaving her home alone all day by herself, so we are looking into doggie daycares. 

Every day little girl will ride with me half way to work and I will take her to school. Then she will spend her day getting to play with other dogs her size and age while I'm at work. This way she gets exercise and love while I can't do it. 

Tomorrow we are going for an interview to see if she fits in with the day care and if they have enough room for her. I think they are going to love her just as much as we do. 

Do you have any questions, suggestions, or advice about doggie daycares? This is all brand new for us. 

What is your advice on doggie daycares?

This week is finals week and we have a lot going on with work and moving Jarr at the end of the week for his internship this summer. This is our day in a nutshell.

Today has really just been a lazy Sunday for us at home doing homework, cleaning house, and doing laundry. The morning started off with a nice long walk up to campus with Remy. We walked around for about an hour which ended up being about 5 miles. It was a great walk for all of us and it wore our little girl right out. 

Remy spent a lot of time today napping in her pen while we did homework and cleaned house. 

Of course this made Eli exhausted and he needed to nap also. 

We had a little spurt of bad weather and all of those white spots are hail. It only lasted for about 30 minutes but we made sure we were weather aware. 

This of course stressed Remy out and she thought she needed to pull every single toy she has out of her play box while me and Eli watched the news. Thank goodness our little storm didn't last long so the kids settled down after that.
