The Road Trip to Detroit, Canton and Howell

My birthday trip was so much fun. We left on Sunday June 29 ( I know almost a month ago) and we first drove to Detroit to go see the Tigers game. We get about 10 minutes away from the stadium and I was thinking about how much fun this was going to be!! Then I started to think more about the game and realized that I had forgotten the game tickets. We had gotten them in the mail about a month before the game so I just set them on the counter by our phone so I didn't have them in my purse all the time. I told Kyle that I had forgotten them and he thought I was lying to him. We get to the game and go up to the ticket counter and tell them our situation, so we had to walk to a different counter and luckily I paid Credit Card for the tickets and they could pull up our credit card number and see our ticket information!!!! Whew!

The game was fun but then it started to rain so we left at about the 6th inning and headed to our Hotel in Canton. We watched the rest of the game in our room and then we went out to go to IKEA and out to eat at Bd's Mongolian BBQ!!One of my favorites!!! Then we went to go see a movie at the local movie theater. We saw "Get Smart" which was a funny movie.

The next morning, my birthday, we left the hotel and went to Howell to go shopping at the Tanger Outlet Mall. My mom, sisters, aunts and cousins were all going to go there to go shopping so we thought we might as well go to. (Sorry Kyle for being the only guy.) But we went shopping on our own and met up with them for lunch. We did some REALLY good shopping there!!

Now onto another subject.

Our Yorkie, Dawson, has been quite a handful lately. Everytime we put him in his cage, (whether it is to go to bed or go to work) he some how has unlatched the latch with his teeth and then pulls the latch to let himself out all the time. So we have a cute little puppy meeting us at the front door when we get home. So we decided to tie his leash around the cage so he couldn't get out. We thought there would be no way possibly for him to get out. We would break his neck if he tried to get out. NOPE not the case with him. He still got out no matter how tight we tied it, somehow he still got out. We were amazed at how little of space he had to get out. Finally we bought some tiny bungee cords to keep it closed, and he hasn't gotten out yet. So hopefully he doesn't find a way to get through those!

HE's getting bigger!

Weekend Get-a-way

So this weekend we are going away to Detroit/Canton area. This will be our 1st weekend get a way since we have been married!!!! We are leaving on Sunday to go to the Tigers game which is at 1 and then staying at a hotel in Canton, and then on Monday we are going to IKEA and possibly shopping in Howell. We also might go to the Henry FordMy birthday is also on Monday so that is kind of why we are going away. So a day off of work is going to be nice and also a few days with no Dawson.(our 16 week old Yorkie).

We also just booked a 4 night cruise to the Bahamas in November for our 1 year anniversary, so the countdown begins on that!!!!We are so excited. Kyle has never been on a cruise before, so that will be exciting for him.

I will post pictures when we get back!!!!!

New Addition

So we took the plunge and got a puppy!!His name is Dawson and he is a Yorkshire Terrier (Yorkie). He is 9 weeks old and has a ton of energy, (except at night when he just whines in his cage.) We got him yesterday so I guess I don't blame him for whining and whimpering, but it just isn't fun to not get any sleep because of a whimpering puppy. We've had a few worries in the beginning when we were on our way to Chow Hound to get some stuff for Dawson. He threw up in my lap on the way down there.Luckily I had a blanket underneath him!! So that did not sit well with my stomach, so we pulled over and Kyle held him and I drove. We get going again and then he throws up a little in Kyle's lap and then twice more in Chow Hound..Uh oh...Luckily the lady helping us was very nice and said "if that is all I have clean up today I will be happy." So he either was car sick or just was hungry.

New Things

Well I am new to this and don't have many thoughts right now, but just wanted to update a little bit on life and what has been going on. Kyle and I have now been married for a little over 3 months and we have experienced some things that we never thought would happen, but has grown us closer to God, my family and each other. On February 29,2008 my sister Katie who was pregnant and due in July went into work and started to have some pain in her stomach. She had her husband pick her up from work and bring her to the doctor. On the way to the hospital the pain began to increase and they got to the hospital and the doctor immdetiately began to hurry with the Iv and all that stuff and said the baby is coming. Katie then began to go into labor and had a baby boy, Brenham Jay, who lived for 3 minutes but the lungs were not developed enough to take a breath. He then went to be in the arms of Jesus in Heaven. I got to hold him and it was the most amazing thing. My family went through alot that weekend but had such peace knowing that Brenham Jay was in heaven.I personally had a lot of questions why something like that would happen to our family but I was always reminded that "There is a Reason", which was the song by Cademon's Call that was played at Brenham's memorial service that we had.
Thanks for reading!
