BayLeaf

Chris always calls Bailey 'bayleaf' which used to annoy me but now is kind of cute.
B was spayed last Friday and has been having an awful time. We were originally told that our biggest issue would be keeping her still however that has not been the case. She's been miserable, she can sleep or get comfortable nor walk. So after a long two days at home I called the vet. She went back in today- they think on top of being in pain she's itchy and is having some anxiety. Ofcourse my dog would have these issues. Anyways she's home now so I'm just hoping she feels better soon, it's tough seeing her like this.

What a Week.

It's been a long week for our country.
How Boston handled the attacks should be an example for the rest of the country. Within days both suspects were either killed or captured. Hats off to Boston.

Interesting enough, apparently the this week in history has always been tragic. The Titanic Sunk April 14th, Columbine Shootings April 20th, Oklahoma City Bombing April 19th, West Texas plant explosion April 18th and Boston Marathon Bombing April 15th. April is a month that we will always remember but unfortunately for tragic memories. Here's hoping May will allow those who are injured heal, and those who lost love ones grieve. The country is with you. #BostonStrong

"The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil"

Act of Terror... Again.

People and humanity continue to disappoint me. Boston is one of my favorite cities in the USA. I've been lucky enough to live close by most of life and have made many visits. I'm sadden and angry by this, but mostly I'm glad that my friends are ok. There is a special place in Hell for those who commit these acts.

Dreams

I remember alot of my dreams. Almost all of them in fact. Last night I had a dream about sunburns and I looked it up:


Sunburn
To dream that you have a sunburn indicates that there is an emotional situation or problem that you can no longer avoid. Some urgent matter is literally burning through to your soul and demanding your immediate attention.


I have no idea what the dream is referring too but its not a good one. Yikes.

Sundays

Sundays are Chris and I's only day off together so its normally spent running errands and spending time with Bailey. Yesterday however Chris was off early and all errands were completed (yay!) so today I plan on doing nothing <3 Sundays!

This is from Easter Sunday :) Chris, Me and Bailey pup 

V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N-S 2013

It's been busy lately. I feel like days and weeks are flying by, which is a good thing but sometimes its good to slow down.
I finally moved into my own office at work and I'm loving it more then I ever thought I would. I do however need to decorate in a major way. Looking at beige colored walls for 9 hours a day makes me feel like I'm in a mental ward. I never really talk about work but it's going well, really well in fact. I almost feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, that's how well it's going. I was promoted to my current position back in February and while I'm still getting things together I feel confident in this role.
The weather here has been beautiful. Last weekend was sunny and almost 70, I was able to go downtown,get breakfast, shop and enjoy Pikes for the first time of the season. It may be a tourist trap but its hard to beat on a summer day. Its days like that when Chris working Saturdays sucks.... all well, the time alone was well spent.

I've been busy trying to plan our vacation for the rest of the year. Since we fly all across the country our vacations are planned way ahead of time My mom and I are going to Ohio for a weekend this summer. Ohio itself isn't my ideal vacation destination but we are going to Cedar Point so I'm looking forward to it plus it quality time with my mom. I also plan on heading home a week afterwards to spend time there with my best friend, Ashley, CANNOT WAIT! No matter how long I live somewhere else my little beach town in Connecticut will always be home to me <3 We are tentativly planning a trip to Alaska a long weekend in the summer, probably July. I'm excited to go! Chris on the other hand would do anything to get out of it, he's not a fan of his hometown or state. And finally Christmas and New Years. Believe it or not we already have our plans. I will be most likely going home for Christmas by myself and then fly and meet Chris in Las Vegas for New Years. Christmas is my favorite holiday but in order for us to do a big New Years (Chris's favorite holiday) we'll need to budget for both and flights then are always expensive. Last year our Christmas and New Years present was Bailey, so since Chris missed out on his favorite holiday he is stoked to go to Vegas. I on the other hand HATE New Years. I have always felt like it stands in Christmas's shadow. Christmas is a season while New Years is just the bad hang over from Christmas and the time you take down the tree.
