We found out that Java has…um….how to spell it…disconjunctivitis…yeah…something like that, in her eye. Dr. Dino as many call him, gave us drops to put in her eye 3 times a day. Luckily he said there were no scratches on her cornea. It was cool how he was able to tell that. He took some dye and put it in her eye and then flashed his light on her eye to look for the dye to fill in any scratches. Another cool thing is that he didn’t charge us for the office visit. He just charged us for the drops and for some more heartworm pills. Boy did that save our wallet. I’m hoping her eye will be better by the weekend so we can try taking her swimming again.

Poor Baby :(
Well, Java seems to slowly be passing the collar but yesterday after work we noticed that her right eye is infected. Poor thing, I just wanted to make it all better for her. She looked miserable yet in her own Java way was trying to be happy and make her parents proud. Today we have an appointment to see Dr. Nicopoulus at 3pm for him to check her out. Pray that she can be healed quickly and that we won’t have to take out a second mortgage after getting the bill hehe.
Happy Anniversary :)
Yep, you’ve guessed it, today it our very 1st Anniversary. It has been a really good day! Church was awesome! When we left I really felt as if we had all truly worshipped. We went to Fatz for lunch to celebrate and then back to church for the night service and Marissa’s baby shower. I really can’t believe this first year has gone so fast. It makes me think about the next years at how much faster they will go by. I will try not to be mushy because I know Justin doesn’t really like it but he is so special to me. I’m so glad God thought I was worthy enough to have him in my life. I love him so much! I look forward to each new day I get to spend with him. Happy Anniversary Honey!
Two very special occasions
This weekend marks two special events. First my cute little nephew will be 1 month old. Can you believe it’s been that long already? The second is that Sunday marks our 1 year anniversary. That too doesn’t seem like it’s been that long since our wedding. Hopefully we will be able to take a trip to see the little man on Monday.
So this weekend when you are going about your days just know it’s an awesome time 🙂
How Awesome…
…it is to have a husband like mine! I realized tonight as I was rereading his old live journal how much I tend to take him for granted. He means more than the world to me and more than my last breath. Sometimes it’s just the simple things that he does that makes me smile inside. Like…most Saturday mornings he gets up early and keeps the dog entertained just so I can sleep an extra hour. He tolerates my phone calls from the bookstore when I am having computer issues. He holds my hand in the car and eggs me on when I’m mad just to make me eventually laugh cuz he’s so darn cute. Then there’s times he holds me til I’m done crying. When he goes out of his way to make me laugh. When he brings me breakfast or helps me out in any way possible.
I love you Justin and I pray that our love will only grow stronger over the years. I can’t believe it’s already almost been one. I pray that I can show you everyday what you mean to me and that I won’t take you for granted. Thank you for all you give me and do for me.
(if you think this is too sappy then I really hate that you have no idea what love is and how it feels and I pray that you find it one day)
YAY! YAY! HAPPY BDAY!
I would like to wish my husband the most happy of birthdays today. He has now caught up to his wonder wife in age and hopefully in wisdom. It’s the first time I get to wish him a Happy Bday as my husband. I love you so much honey! I hope today is an awesome day for you!
Oh, and I wanted to draw attention to the lovely bold lettering in my entry. It’s not just any kind of bold entry. I observed a way to do it from Maxine in the Bookstore and Justin taught me the updated way to make something bold with <> and things 😉 Anyone proud? haha
my valentine…
My Valentine isn’t just around on February 14th. My Valentine is with me everyday. He kisses me each morning to welcome the new day and holds me close everynight as we fall asleep. He makes funny faces at me just to get me to smile. He even pushes enough buttons sometimes until I decide I can be mad or just laugh at how silly he is. My valentine hugs me when I need it and sometimes just “because”. He holds my hand when we go places and even opens doors for me. My valentine is honest, kind, loving, warm, and awesome! I love to catch him sleeping on the couch. That way I get to stare at him when he doesn’t know. Times like that I really get to think about how lucky I am to have him. And right now…I’m the happiest woman in the world because I get to get in my car and drive straight home to him. If you haven’t guessed it yet, I’m talking about my cat 😉 just kidding. I’m talking about my awesome husband! I’m sorry if this is too mushy but hey, today is a mushy day hehe. And for those of you that are choosing to celebrate “Singles’ Awareness Day” I encourage that also. Who knows you might just celebrate it with your future Valentine….I did 😉 It all started with a half eaten roll of orange creamsavers as a Single’s gift and look where we are now. Happy 14th!
A Very Married Christmas
My goodness, talk about busy! I guess I’ll start with the Thursday before Christmas. Justin and I went to Polk County to see Stacey for her Bday! We were able to stay for a little while. Then it was off to Brevard to see Mandy, Buck, Anna, and Matt. We went to Casey Jones to eat and hoped to see at least one person from our high school years. We ended up seeing 4 people we knew. While waiting for our food we all took out our cell phones and were taking pictures of each other. Mine, was what I like to call a “gameboy” rather than everyone elses’ “Sega”. It had the green background as the main color and did not take pictures. I jokingly held mine up and told everyone to say cheese just for fun. After that we went to a place called Dugan’s to get some undrinks as Justin discussed in his blog. Then we went back to the Jones’ and played Catch Phrase (fun game!) til 1 in the morning. It was definitely a good time! I wish it could have been longer. Justin and I had to head back to Shelby to do some much needed laundry and get ready for the late Christmas Eve Service.
The Service was beautiful with all the poinsettias (however you spell it). Justin’s mom was even able to make it. It was nice to have some company while Justin worked the sound. He even had a speaking part. He told the church what the “Light of Christmas” meant to him. He did such a great job!
Then Justin and I headed home (it now being past midnight and technically Christmas) and opened presents. Justin got me a lil lazer level! I’ve been wanting one of those! and the Phil Vassar CD! and yep…a new cell phone! pictures and all. After opening presents we decided to play Justin’s new Atari flashback for a little while. Then we started getting sleepy but knew we couldnt go to sleep if we were going to get to his parents before 5am to surprise them (especially Stacey). We took a 30 minute nap and got up and packed and left.
We parked at the top of the driveway and snuck down and opened the door to see Justin’s mom in the Kitchen frozen with fear and confusion. Then she saw that it was us. Next his dad came down the hall and eventually Stacey. We opened presents. It was so much fun! and I loved all my gifts! Justin and I even got a really nice glider swing (maybe David will come and assemble it for us hehe). Now all we need is a nice deck to go out back someday. It will be nice to have in the front yard too.
I ended up asleep on their couch for about 2 hours and then Chad and Faith came with our present and Justin’s surprise gift to me (us). It was our new baby Java (chocolate lab). She is adorable….yes even at 230am when she is whining to go out. She is so smart too! Before long she will be huge and very well trained. I believe she already knows her name and sometimes what “out” means and “inside” but definitely not the word “no” yet haha. I was so surprised to get her! I kept jokingly bugging Justin about wanting a dog to keep me company and that I could go run with. I’m so happy!!! The boys (apache and pixel) have even found their own way to tolerate her. Pixel is our new babysitter. He just stays about 2 feet away from her most of the time and watches and even sleeps. He is so cute. Apache just watches from afar and periodically gets curious. No biting and attacking yet ….at least on the cats’ part.
Back to our busy time. We headed out to Brevard again this time to see my side of the family. We brought the surprise puppy too (then nameless) . Everyone loved her. Of course I didn’t get sleep again from trying to keep her quiet for the others to sleep. She was so good though. We opened presents and had a great time! All our gifts this year were awesome! Thanks everyone! We watched Blue Collar Comedy and then stayed up (what seemed like til 2am due to lack of sleep but only 11) and played 90s edition trivial pursuit. Then went to bed and the next morning around lunch, headed back to Polk County for the Moore side lunch Christmas party. Fun stuff!
Finally our journey came to an end and we headed home with Java (named on the way home) to see our boys. It was about 7 I think when we made it home. I couldn’t ask for a better husband, cats, and dog. What an awesome family!
Well, I better go for now. Justin is at work today (hehe) and I”m home with Java and the boys. Since I have to watch Java’s every move I can only get things accomplished when she is sleeping. She fell asleep on the desk while I typed this so now is my chance to get motivated.
Happy almost New Year everyone!
