Spoiled Rotten

I realized the other day that I mention our little girl during previous blogs, but I have never posted any pictures of her. So, since Jonathan and I are not in a hurry to have a little one we spoil this little girl rotten!

Since Jonathan is the only one in his office Daisy
goes to work with her daddy whenever he is not
on the road. One day he sent me this while I was
at work, to show me what "little monster" does
when she's at his office! We're lucky because Jonathan's
boss has a black cocker, so he doesn't mind that she hangs
out there. He calls her the AOS mascot!

This was when we first got her. She was only 6 weeks
old and could fit in Jonathan's hat. Sooooo Sweet!
Daisy was about 10 weeks old here and she could
fit inside her toy box. Needless to say she has outgrown
that toy box~!

Just chilling on her Dad's stomach!
This Halloween she was a bumble bee!
She hated every second of it.

Soaking up the Sun...

Last night we found out officially that Jonathan earned us a trip to Cancun in March. I am so proud of him and not for just winning the trip, but for many things! One of the companies that Jonathan is a rep for awards sales reps that sell a certain amount with a trip for them and a guest. Last year was his first year with the company and he won us a trip to Palm Springs (this also happens to be the trip where we got engaged). We had a blast last year and it was so beautiful and relaxing in Palm Springs. They announced last year that this year's trip would be to Cancun, Mexico. Jonathan has been working his little butt off to win us this trip and finally all of his hard work has paid off. So March 3-8th we will be soaking up the sun on the beautiful beach in Cancun. Way to go honey!

Life has seemed quite busy since Christmas. We decided that it was time to sell my house and start looking for something with more space. It is a great house for a single person, but it gets a little tight when another moves his stuff in (especially tools and hunting gear). We, by we I mean Jonathan, has been working really hard with a crew he hired to update the outside of the house. When I moved in 3 years ago, Jonathan and I re-painted everything inside; walls, trim, doors, cabinets and we replaced the carpet in the bedrooms. So, it was time to give the outside a little TLC. Hopefully the painters will be finished by the end of the week. Jonathan made new shutters for the front and I have a great picture of him and Daisy working really hard last night to get the second coat (which I argued it needed) put on before today. So, if all goes well we will be putting the for sale sign in the yard by the weekend.

We were talking the other night about the "what ifs." For example, "what if it sales quicker than we expect," "what if it never sales," "what if we don't find another house that we like," all these things start playing into your mind when change is about to happen. The biggest thing Jonathan and I were talking about is our neighbors. The house right next door belongs to our dear friends Matt and Jessica. They will eventually be moving to Mobile to be close to their families, so we know that it is unavoidable that we will be separated, but it is going to be hard. We love them so much and we'll never be able to find neighbors like them. For example, last night I was making brownies and I didn't have any oil, so of course Matt comes the rescue and lets me have some oil. He brings their dog Millie (who happens to be Daisy's BFF) over to play with Daisy so that Jonathan and him could watch the latest Family Guy and eat brownies.

I have obviously been avoiding my blog lately, so as things progress I will keep it updated and share pictures later. Have a great week!
