We attended services in Boston? and ran into a few people we knew/had mutual friends/family with. (Its amazing how you can just about always run into someone you know or knows you whenever you visit somewhere.) We went to Boston and did a trolley tour with some friends (new friends to me!). Later that night we went up to Maine and stayed in a B&B for a few days on the beach! God blessed us with perfect weather the whole trip! We played cards, read books, walked on the beach, ate Lobster for the first time, took naps, watched movies, and took lots of silly pictures and videos of each other! Thursday morning (at 5:00 AM!!!!) we set off for Boston to whale watch! (Pictures and hopefully videos to follow!) It was a 3 hour tour but no shipwreck involved, thankfully, just a lil sea-sickness (despite the Bonine) and roasted skin for me. We got some priceless pictures of ... 2008-09-06 http://www.pleonast.com/user/katdvak?l=5&entryID=565736 I dropped 'The Beaz' (my yorkie puppy) off at Petco on my way to work this morning. I told them I wanted him to have a short TRIM to his face and body, to bathe him, and clip his nails etc. I was told this would cost $31. Jonathan was sweet enough to pick him up after Jonathan's last class. I got a phone call from him at work that went like this: "What did you ask them to do to him?" (I told him the same as above.)"Well, I walked in and they had a dog that looked like a chihuahua ready for me to pick up, and it was Beazley!!" (I felt a sudden rush of blood to my head) "And how much did they tell you it would be?" (I said $31) "Well they charged me $47 and told me you wanted him to look like this." I haven't seen him yet. I told Jon to put some clothes on my little guy because he was probably freezing standing there all naked! I called them back and will hopefully be receiving a refund tonight or tomorrow. It will grow back! It Will grow bac... 2008-08-22 http://www.pleonast.com/user/katdvak?l=5&entryID=564652 Thats the next to last thing I heard on the phone yesterday when I was talking to Jon. He said, "NO BEAZLEY!!!" then the VVRRRROOOOMMM, then he said "I HAVE TO GO!!" My heart skipped several beats and my chest ached. All I could think about was that my poor little puppy was gone! I called him back later and he apologized for the speedy goodbye and explained that Beazley was just fine. It was actually the neighbors dog that was almost run over! Not that I'm happy about that but I was definitely relieved!! Wow, I really love that dog! 2008-08-19 http://www.pleonast.com/user/katdvak?l=5&entryID=547399 When we first got in the water we quickly spotted 2 jellyfish! We tried to avoid them but the water was not exactly clear so we got stung a few times. It was interesting, and funny (later)! Saturday morning as we made our way down the beach there was a family fishing (they were fully clothed too! WOW!). The father had just caught a BABY SHARK and was having his wife take his picture! I was even less excited about the merky water! We still got in though and we still had a blast! I am a little toasted and so is Jon but not too bad! I mostly added to my freckle collection. So hope you all had a fun and safe 4th!! I LOVE YOU JONNIE!!! Happy Anniversary!!! 2008-07-06 http://www.pleonast.com/user/katdvak?l=5&entryID=545945 I had the pleasure of attending Seth and Heidi King's wedding last weekend. Every wedding makes me cry but I totally balled at their wedding multiple times! I have known both of them since we were in diapers! It is so weird and yet wonderful that they found each other, fell in love, and married! I am sooooo thankful that I was able to witness the event! I have a hard time comprehending that it has been 4 YEARS since everyone in my family was preparing for my wedding! It really doesn't seem that long! Thanks to a gift from Mom and Dad, Jonathan and I are headed to Gulf Shores this weekend to celebrate early. I know thats kinda crazy since its a holiday weekend but hopefully we'll find a more secluded beach to hang out on. Its amazing to me how much I love my husband and how my love for him grows every day. He has definitely been raising the bar for husbands lately. For those of you who don't know, he is in school and I'm working full-time so housework and sleeping have kinda shifted o... 2008-07-02 http://www.pleonast.com/user/katdvak?l=5&entryID=531749 Just tell me a joke or something. 2008-05-24 http://www.pleonast.com/user/katdvak?l=5&entryID=466159 Go wish Her a happy 50th!!
