Baylee Bug Ruiz

I thought I would share about our newest addition. :D Justin's parents gave her to me for a Christmas present. Right now she is 11 weeks old today.

She is just learning to potty train. Because we live on the 3rd floor of our apartment, we have been puppy pad training her. OH has it been hard. She is learning, however very slowly.

She is so outgoing and playful. She loves to play like crazy. You know when she is going to crash hard though, because right before she bolts around the house. It is so funny.

She loves her kennel. It is like her own little domain. Whenever it gets quiet, we say... "where is Baylee?". We look, and she is in her little kennel.

We learned though at Christmas, that she does NOT like wrapping paper. She also does not like the vaccuum.

We are so excited to raise her and see her grow. :D I love her so much already!

Chili Much?

So, today I did something I have never done before.

TRIED WENDYS CHILI. 

I was told they are infamous for it! However, never have I took the plunge to try it!

The result was amazing! :D Really good in fact! I will probably get it again! :D

I thought I would share my story.

Christmas 2009

WOW. What a great Christmas this year was. This Christmas was our second one that we have spent alone at our home, however the first one as a married couple. I love waking up with just him and I, on our own time.

This year, he was the one to wake up first. He was actually skipping around the house trying to wake me up!

We opened up the gifts we had for each other. I got a nice digital camera, and a Wii. Justin got clothes, a Carhartt coat, a router and x box live membership for a year. Oh, he also got a hat.

After we were done there, we went to Justin's parents house. They gave Justin a nice Craftsman tool set. VERY nice. We got slippers, bath items and other little things.

Justins parents also got our new family member for me, for Christmas. Baylee Ruiz. Our little blond Shih Tzu. She is such a cute dog. She is so much fun.:D

After that we went to my parents. This year I think things actually hit me with them. My parents have never been well off. Ever since we were little, they struggled to get us anything for Christmas. I have always been greatful, however never really got it. This year, I got it. All I really wanted from them, is to spend time... and eat Joe McMuffins. OH MY GAH..... Joe McMuffins are the best.

They got us a gift certificate to Smiths (which is awesome). And they also got us a new Brita water filter for our fridge. The water tastes amazing! :D

After my parents house, we went to Justin's Gram's house. She gave us a few items and some cash money, which is always helpful. All we really wanted was Grams Gravy. She makes theee best sausage gravy in the world!

This year I was happy about the stuff I received... but I was more excited for the things I gave. I hope every gift I gave this year, brings happiness to each family member!

Justin's birthday was on the 26th. He turned 27! He received boots from his parents. I got him the x box live membership, however just gave it to him a day early. :). All of my family, and his family went out to eat at the Golden Corral. It was a lot of fun! 

That is our Christmas holiday summed up. I cannot wait for New Years. Not really sure what we are doing yet, however I am excited for it all! :D
