Cristmas with the Curtis's

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

So I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. I know I did. It was a fun filled day with the three "F's" Family, Friends, and Food. Naturally. So my day started at 8, opened gifts, and spent some time with my hubby and dogs. Then at 10:30, started my cooking extravaganza! Got the rolls made, turkey in the oven, then prepped all the other food, then played Phase 10.

Todd thought he would try his hand at the game,

but he found that he needed hands, so Pearson and Jerry helped him out. Hehe.. I called the dogs over and gave them boiled giblets and then on, Todd kept an eye on me...

So I cooked, and I cooked, and I played games. They thought I was cute when I finally sat down when the cooking was done.

And here is my magnificent spread

with my new table that is being considered a Christmas present, and the placemats from the grandparents. So there are some pics of people and peices of my house. Untill tomorrow...ish..

Peace love and chocolate!

A day at the Park!

So, when I take my pooches to play in the park, generally, we play on the slide with Todd

and he swings in the swing

Suri chases her ball everywhere, even in the creek, unfortunately, she runs too fast for a good picture of it, so I'll do the post run pic

She is very pleased with herself..... and when she is all done at the park...

we give her peanut butter and take silly pictures...

A strange occurance.....

So, some of you might know that my dog Suri is not one for water. Well, I guess now that is not completely true. The creek that we play at daily, as long as its not freezing, she loves to go in. She runs through, jumps in, jumps over, she'll purposely drop her ball into the water so she can chase it down. And yet, as soon as you say the word bath, she starts to freak out. But, at least we are making progress..
In other news, Todd likes to carry around my shoes. Random, I know. He has also learned (finally) not to go to the bathroom in the house. He runs and finds me, cries like a baby, then runs to the door. So it works out. He loves water too. Chasing Suri through the water and in general harassing her. He nose dives into the water the minute that he can. But he always ends up shivering by the end of the day.
Lets see. I am trying to find a job, but there is no one hiring. Which is lame. So right now, I am working on making the dress I have to wear on Saturday for the squadrons Christmas formal. It is looking good. Other then that I am just messing around with the dogs and hanging out with the Pearsons' while Seth is at work.
Hubby was promoted recently, so he is excited about that. He was put on Alfa shift so I see him in the evenings and every few days he gets 2-3 days off. But he works 13 hour shifts. Lets see, he is currently wearing my old rx of glasses, because the other day while he was running, a lense popped out, so that is sent out to be repaired. He was wearing his gas mask glasses insert, but he looked funny, so he opted for mine.
Things are going good. We have good friends and we are happy here. Its nice overall. The weather is freezing, but multiple layers help with that. Thats all for now! Peace, Love and Happiness.

My Family...

So, since moving to the great (but at the same time, kinda small) OK, I have gotten a new puppy. So I decided that I would show everyone my family as it stands here in OK. There is the dogs, Suri and Todd.

I have a super duper cute picture of Todd in a kiddie swing, but it wouldn't upload. It's awesome, cuz he likes to swing and go down the slide, just like a little kid. I'll try to get some new pictures up as time goes on. Todd is about 3 months old, loves pouncing on leaves and listens to his mommy.

Suri is my baby girl. She likes to chase after balls, do tricks, go on car rides, cuddle and sleep. lol. She has gotten this habit of when Hubby gets up for work, Suri climbs onto the bed and cuddles with me. She really things she is part of the family.

This is the Hubby. He is a goof. He likes muffins, nice warm muffins. He likes to go on walks, play with the dogs, and play games. Board games, video games, card games. Now, if Suri likes to cuddle, he puts her to shame. He loves to be all snuggled up with me, or the dogs. He just got promoted at work, so that is exciting for both of us. He is getting put on his official schedual next week. Which will be nice, because I will get to see him more often. Yay!

And there is me. I am kinda like this picture. I am a little upside life and unique. Hehe. I love to laugh, listen to and sing along with music (sometimes much to my Hubby's chagrine). I like to play with my dogs. My goal is to become a Vet Tech, and I am working towards that. I like to cook, and sew, and creat. Hmm... my Hubby says I am caring, beautiful and smart and funny, and... a spork? Hmm... well, thats all for now. I'm sure I will be posting again soon...

Endless Driving

So.. I believe I mentioned before about 'B's car breaking down, but this weekend she had to go get her son from Arkansas this weekend. So being the kind and generous soul I am (and discussing it with Hubby) I volunteered to drive her there and back if she paid for gas. So we leave Monday afternoon, prepared for a 7-8 hour drive.

So we are going along, the road is pitch black, we have about an hour to go, and boom, there are cop lights flashing, and thinking he needs to get past, I pull over....and so does he. I was thinking, I have my cruise control on at the speed limit (65mph), I'm not weaving around, there is no one else on the road, and so I have no idea what was wrong. I get everything out, and Mr. Texas State Trooper goes, "Do you know why I pulled you over?" "I have no idea sir" "Well, did you know that your license plate light is out?" what?!?! I responded with a smile, "No sir, I didn't, I can't see the back license of my car while I am driving" LOL!! So he asked me where I was from , "California, (duh?) but I just moved to Oklahoma." He gave me the strangest look, like why the heck am I in Texas headed toward Arkansas, when Oklahoma is behind me. So, anyways that's over, we continue on our way.

So that was the only excitement we had on our trip. We got home about 4 am, slept about an hour, then continued on with my day. In total I was awake for 36 hours. Needless to say, I went to bed early that night.

To My Family

So the fam has been asking me if I have set up a blog yet, and so today, I am..

I am recently married to the man of my heart on Oct 11. We had been dating for 4 years and he recently joined the airforce this year. He is getting promoted on the 14th, which is always good news, cuz it means more money for us. Yay!

So since we have been here in Oklahoma, I have noticed that there are absolutely NO MOUNTAINS for us! Now I grew up in a valley, no mountains are a serious shock to my visual senses. But we have cotten. Lots and lots of cotton.

Lucky for me, Hubby had a friend from basic get married this month as well, and I have become fast friends with the wife, 'B'. We have spent the majority of our days together. Needless to say, we have helped eachother out a lot, setting up our houses, adjusting to the military way of life. Lucky for us we all get along too, because within a few days of being here, 'B's car blew a head gasket, and so they are carless for a while, and then last week I found out that my truck needs a part replaced, which is a few hundred bucks.

Since I have been here I have adopted a new puppy for Suri to play with. His name is Todd and he is a husky cross. Super cute. And my friend 'B' thought he was so cute that she went and rescued his sister Cherry. So we have puppy get togethers to top things off. Its nice to vent to someone about potty training difficulties. But they are coming along nicely. I am lucky to say that I have hardwood floors to clean up the messes.

Well there is the last few weeks in a nutshell. Hope to have you tune in again next time.
