Animal Lovers

Some people are suckers for infomercials. I on the other hand feel like emptying out my bank account every time i see animal cruelty commercials. I seriously want to cry when i see these. It has come to the point where I have to hurry and change the channel or close my eyes whenever they come on! It's like a preview for a scary movie! I can't look at it! It will give me nightmares. If this video doesn't make you cry... then i don't know what would!

Wasn't that seriously the saddest thing ever?!

Spencer and i are huge animal lovers! 

We are proud parents of an adorable mini "lemon" beagle. Patches!

She is spoiled rotten!

 Has perfected the "puppy eye" therefore gets whatever she wants whenever she wants it! 

But she is the BEST dog ever! 

Doesn't drool. {which is such a good quality}

She has to be touching you at all times {snuggly}

Does the cutest tricks.

Has the cutest little short legs.

And keeps me company when my hubby is gone. 

Roses and Lavender

Spencer had the day off. And of course i had to go teach 4 Zumba classes! I was so mad because i was looking forward to spending the whole day with my hubby.

--Okay let me clarify here--

Yes Zumba is only one hour. 

Yes it is quite the easy job compared to most.

Yes that means I would ONLY be spending 4 hours apart from my husband. 

BUT it gets tiring after your fourth hour of Zumba and not to mention how sticky, sweaty, and stinky you are afterwards!

Well after being so sad to leave Spencer to go teach yet another class. I was walking up the stairs to our door and i could smell the most amazing lavender smell. Opened the door, and saw this beautiful site! 

A dozen red roses!

What a perfect surprise! Just what i needed!

Personalized design by Spencer!

Although they don't last as long as i wish they would, I still LOVE flowers!

We don't own any vases, so he got creative and cut a pop
bottle in half and glued a beautiful cover on it.

Then Spencer led me into the bathroom for a pre-drawn hot lavender bath with rose petals

{sorry no pictures... i couldn't wait another minute! I had to jump in} 

I couldn't help but to blog about this one! Spencer: i am publicly thanking you for my extravagant roses! 

I love you!

Under age 21 until September

Is it odd that my friends (including myself) were married before they were of drinking age? Remember when you first got your drivers license and in red it said "under the age 21 until  9/_/2011? 

I would like to officially congratulate two of my bestest friends ever on their Birthdays this week! Ladies, you are happily married and now of legal age! Life must be great! 

Thank you for always being there for me in time of need and times of fun and laughter! I hope you both had wonderful birthdays full of family, friends, and fattening foods! I'm sorry I couldn't have been there to celebrate with you, but hopefully this public apology will prove my love for you two! A big THANK YOU goes out to you for pushing me into starting this blog! (for those of you who disapprove of this blog, please take your anger out on Erica and Beth) Such beautiful young women and i'm so grateful to have you in my life! Love you Girls!

Erica. Beth. Jess.

The beginning of something new...

I am proud to say after much turbulence, mass confusion, many background changes, trial and error, and too many people nagging me... I am now apart of the real world... the blogging world! Hip hip hooray! This has been a long time coming, i always stalk other people's blogs so hopefully someone out there will find mine stalk-worthy! This blog will be a whirlwind and collection of my thoughts, my feelings, my love, my adventures *for better or for worse*, my experiences, my  new discoveries, and most of all... my new family and the beginning of our forever!

Spence+Patches+Me= My Family
