Nothing Much

The other day we took Bullet to the creek for the first time and he went nuts. He ran spastic everywhere. Sorry the pictures are so grainy, it was getting dark and my camera was being crazy.

Dont really know what he was looking at but It would have been a cute picture if Trent wasnt raising the stick right as I snapped the picture.

You can barely see but he was running out of the creek with a stick bringing it back to Trent.

Crazy dog found this huge stick and drug it around everywhere.

Nothing new going on with us. Trent and his shift at work had some pictures taken yesterday which I will post once we get them. Things have changed a little as far as my job goes. The 27th was supposed to be my last day at Baptist but as of today, that has changed to this Friday. I will be starting Columbia next week. On Monday, I go in that morning to meet everyone and go over policies and procedures blah blah blah and then on Tuesday and Wednesday we will actually start doing test studies so everyone can learn the system. Luckily the system is Alice which is what I trained on so I am familiar with it just have to learn how to do the reports on it. After that, starting the week of September 1st, I will be working Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It is nice becuase on Saturdays, I will get paid an extra $2.50 and hour. This however, will not be my permenant schedule. What will happen is one month I work that schedule and then then next month it rotates and I will work Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. That will be a nice schedule that way the same crew is not having to work every weekend but at the same time every other month you get the benefits of working Saturdays by getting paid extra.

I reckon that is all for now. Nothing nuch going on here just trying to stay busy.

Leap of Faith!!!

So some people on Facebook has been curious what my leap of faith is. I have been offered a full time job in Columbia at Maury Regional Hospital that I have accepted. I will be turning in my 2 week notice in the morning. It will be so nice to be able to get to work within 25 minutes instead of an hour and 5 to 10 minutes. This will cut about and hour and a half off of my drive a day. I will not know what to do with myself. My benefits will also be better there in Columbia and I will finally start me a retirement fund. Another extremely exciting thing is they give discounts on Lasix and when I was talking to Trent about it, he said he wanted me to have it done since my eyes are so terribly horrible. I cant wait. We will wait till after we atleast have our first child do to that affecting eye sight and may wait till we have both. I will just talk to the eye dr about it. Anywho, there is my Leap of Faith. I really feel at ease about it and think it will be a good change especially being so close to home and when we have a little one, that will help alot. This was a very hard decision to make since I love where I am at now but with all that going on right now we have decided that this will be a good move. I had actually turned the job down in the beginning but after getting more info had decided to take full time. My hopes are to stay here at Baptist PRN if all things go the way I plan. I guess we will just have to wait and see after I turn in my notice tomorrow.



Our "Little" Monster is doing good. Still spoiled as ever. The other day, we got him yet another bed thinking he has gotten a little older maybe he wont tear this one up. Yeah we were totally wrong. We woke up to this. Trent texted me this picture with the saying underneath it.

Wanted $500 reward black male goes by the name of Bullet aka Bully. Wanted by the LCSD for vandalism of a kennel bed. This male is spoiled, rotten, and dont fall for his sweet looking face. It will make you fall in love with him.

A while back I had posted that the groomer thought we should change his name to Angel cause he is so sweet. Well I took him yesterday to her and it took 6 hours so I was wondering what the heck could have been taking so long. When I got there to her, she said she had taken him on a long walk, fed him dinner and watered him, and just played with him. She just thought it was so sweet how he is such a big dog but so loving. She said he just laid at her feet and snuggled right up to her ankles. Yes he is very rotten and has to be right under everyones feet all the time. I am very thankful though that we take him to such a wonderful place that we know takes good care of him.

I dont really know of anything new to post at this time. We will be going through changes with the job and all so keep me in your prayers that it all works out well. I am sure it will but it is a little nerving since I am so secure where I am now.

Happy Early Birthday to Me!!!

I had a great weekend and I am so very Thankful for such great In-Laws and such a Wonderful Hubby. On Saturday night, my in laws took me out to eat at Chappareals (sp?) ( I love love love their rice) for my birthday since they will be in Hawaii on my Birthday. (yeah they are Lucky). By the way, today is their Anniversary. Happy Anniversary to them. I had decided that I did not want anything for my Birthday, I just wanted me and Trent to have a good weekend alone and go do some fun things together. I had not even told him this is what I wanted and we woke up Sunday to him asking if I wanted to go to the movies and other things also. So First of all we went to the movies then he took me to O' Charleys which I love for their 3 cheese shrimp dip, then after that we went to play putt putt. We used to go putt putting all the time but have not done it in forever so that was lots of fun. Of course, he beat me though. Then last night we came home and played some Tiger Woods golf on the playstation which we used to be addicted to but also have not done in a very long time. Me and my Trentie had such a wonderful weekend just the 2 of us. It was nice to be able to relax and just enjoy the weekend with him and not be constantly going and doing to the point to where we just have no time together.

Again, we have things going on that we need prayers for (same situation as the last post). We should find out more info tomorrow on the situation. Just wish me luck and Pray that we make the best decision in this situation. I am sure we will let everyone know what is going on before long especially once our mind is made up on this situation. Right now we just can't be too public about it not knowing who all sees the blog.

Anywho I just wanted to brag about how wonderful my weekend was. I hope everyone else is doing great as well.

Welcome Baby Alli-gator

My bestest friend Heather gave birth to her Beautiful baby girl today so I thought I would share some pictures and her birth info for everyone to see.

Alli Love Smith: AKA Baby Alli-Gator: Born 7-14-09 @ 7:37pm : 19 inches long: 6lb 14oz

Alli is so Precious. So far she seems to be a very peaceful baby. She never really cried just wimpered other than while the nurse was checking her vital signs. While we was there, she was looking all around.

Love this pictute. Mommy with Baby Alli. Heather looks great for her to have just given birth.

My and Baby Alli-Gator.

She had some huge feet. Everyone was amazed with how big her feet were.

CONGRATS BEN AND HEATHER. I know you both will be great parents.

On a side note, on our way home from Smyrna seeing baby Alli, our car quit on us twice. The check engine light came on and will not go off now. My car has over 109,000 miles now. I am really wondering if it ain't about time to trade it in. Not long ago we replaced the timing belt. Guess we will see what is wrong with it and go from there.

I also have some things that me and Trent is trying to make some decisions on. Some may know what I am talking about but I will not go into detail on here but please keep us in your prayers that we make the right choices in this situation.

Anywho, I hope everyone is doing great.

Bullet the Smart Dog

Just thought I would share a funny picture. I know it is not the best but it was on my cell phone. I was sitting at work tonight and Trent sent me this picture.

I just died laughing when I saw what it was. I called Trent and asked him what he was doing. He said he just saw my glasses sitting there so he wanted to try them on Bullet. Then he said we had a smart dog cause he was wearing glasses and looked smart in them. Yes I know, my hubby is crazy. Gotta love him.

Anyways, I don't think I ever blogged on it but we ended up taking Bullet to the vet with his diarrhea. The vet said it was a mixture between stress, nerves, and feeding him different food while we was gone. They gave him a shot and he ended up on 2 different medicines to settle his stomach and to get his bowel movements back like they should be. One was a pill so that was easy enough. We just put that in a hot dog like always but the other was liquid and we had to break hot dogs up and put the liquid on the hot dogs for him to take that. Boy that was tricky to get him taking that stuff cause he hated it. They weighed him while we was there and my hoss weighs a big 91.6 pounds. He still is not fat at all just all muscle.

Anyways, I reckon that is all. I just wanted to share the picture with everyone.

July 4th Weekend!!!

Hope everyone had a GREAT 4th. We had a Wonderful and very busy 4th. Friday we got up early and went to Manchester. Almost as soon as we got there, we went to the lake to ride intertubes and hang out with Uncle. We then came home and changed clothes, went back to the lake with mom, Uncle and Aunt Jet. We were there till 4am Saturday morning and did not get in bed till 6am and had to be up at 10am to leave to come back home. We were supposed to be at a cookout here at home around 12 but did not get there till about 2pm. Oh well atleast we made it in time to eat around 4:30. After the cookout, we went to the firework show in town. Afterwards, we just came home to relax and sleep. Here are just a few pictures that was taken over the weekend.

Just a pretty Lake and Sun picture.

Trent got to learn how to knee board over the weekend. I was nervous. July 3rd is not his day. Usually he stays in on that day. On July 3rd he got ran over by a lawn mower when he was younger than a few years ago, he got kidney stones on that day. Luckily this year, no harm was done.

Me and Trent riding the intertube. It was so much fun. We laughed the whole entire time we was on it. We looked and felt like bobble head dolls.

I dont know what it is about this picture, it is kinda just an abstract picture but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. It is little Colton playing in the lake.

Anywho, I reckon that is all for now. Will update more later.

Atlanta weekend and more

We had a great weekend in Atlanta. It was quick but very nice and much needed time away for me and the Trentie. Luckily I got called off work on Friday night which we thought was great cause I could sleep that night and drive Saturday since the both of us was supposed to work. Nope, no such luck. I could not sleep and only got an hour. Trent got off work and slept for 2 hours then he slept part of the way to Manchester while I drove then he took over the driving from there after meeting my parents. On the way to Atlanta we knew we were gonna try to go to the Aquarium once we got there but I suggested that we just try to make it to the Saturday game also. We got there at about the 3rd inning and bought tickets off a scalper and got to watch that game. Of course we won, on Saturday that is. Unfortunately we got beat on Sunday but I guess we gotta loose one every now and then. Lol. There record while we are at there games is 3 for 4. Not bad, cant complain. Here are some pictures from this weekend.


Me and my Trentie during Sunday game.


Me with mom and dad.


Me and my daddy were twins on Sunday for the game. As if we don't look just alike anyways we dressed alike.


Me, Trent and Colton during the game.


I must say I got the cutest little nephew ever. He always makes that face looking down when taking pictures. Silly boy.


Mom and dad before the game.


Me, Trentie, mom and dad. I love this picture.


Trent and Lele.


My wonderful inlaws. Ricky, Linda, and Leah.

The whole gang other than Trent's parents and sister. After the game Colton got to run bases and Trent's family left before we could get a whole group picture.

We got to see something that we never ever thought you would see in real life. It was top of the 9th inning Red Sox batting and we were making a come back. We were 1 strike away from the last out of the game and some idiot goes running across the field. He had about 6 security guards to tackle him. It was absolutely hilarious. Click the link below and you can see a you tube video of it. The video says it was a Red Sox fan but I am pretty sure it was a Braves fan trying to break up the streak that us Red Sox was on.

While we were gone we took Bullet to a place called Canine Solutions. It is a boarding place that we have heard lots of good things about. Bullet was in an indoor / outdoor kennel where he could stay in or out which ever he preferred but once it got really hot they would trap the outdoor part to where he had to stay in the cool air conditioned air. He also had his own large fenced in area to go run around in 3 times a day and got to go on a nature hike. This place has lots of land. Anywho, I didn't want to drop him off anyways. I felt like a crazy over bearing mother cause I did not want to leave him but I knew they would take care of him. We went to pick him up Monday and they said he done great. We got him home and he acted fine. Me and Trent went to Fayetteville to watch one of his co workers little boy play in an all star game and was gone for a few hours and when we got home before even opening the utility room door from the garage there was an overwhelming smell of poop. I opened the door and literally about got sick to my stomach it was so bad, rounded the corner and Bullet had the biggest mess ever all in his cage and on the floor. Apparently while we were gone, Bullet had gotten Diarrhea but it was bad. Real bad. We had to totally take his kennel outside to clean it with water hose and also give Bullet a bath. While Trent was outside doing all that, I was inside with all the windows raised, spraying the house with numerous things to try to get rid of the smell and sweeping and mopping Bullet room. He ended up throwing up outside once we got him out and had a little more diarrhea. We called the vet today and they think it was just stress and nerves from him being boarded but told us to take his food for 24 hours and see how he does and if no change then bring him in. We are watching him closely today. He seems ok, he is laying around a lot but does have spurts of hyperness. I guess we will see how he does when he eats a little later. My poor Bullet. Yes he is our problem child but it literally broke my heart to see he was that sick. I honestly felt bad for leaving the house and him being all alone. I felt like a mother neglecting her child because I am sure he was barking wanting to go outside. He doesn't use the bathroom in the house much less his Kennel. I sure hope he is not sick and picked something up from the Boarding place.

We have another very busy weekend ahead. Me and Trent both work Wednesday and Thursday and Friday we will be going to Manchester. Uncle is coming in so we can't wait to get to see him. We never get to spend time with him so it will be nice to see them. He is bringing up his boat so we may get to go to the lake with him. Unfortunately our trip to Manchester will be cut very short because for about 2 months now we have already had plans to have a Shift get together with Trent shift at work and that is on Saturday. I am looking forward to that. Should be a good time to meet more of the cops wives and their families that I haven't met yet. Sunday we have possible plans to hang out with Ashley and Bradley. We have not got to hang out with them in a long time due to Bradley being in California and training for Iraq. So Wednesday through Sunday is gonna be go, go, go for us.

Anywho, I reckon that all for now. I am sure I will post more after the weekend. Hope everyone has a great 4th of July.
