ReMiE's NeW hoMe

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH...that was the longest "sigh", just so you know.....A lot has happened since my last post. Emotionally it's been pretty intense. Up until this last weekt i've cried just about every day. Our pup Remie has had a hard time finding a good home and it's breaking my heart. My brother had her and for reasons had to tell me it wasn't going to work out, then a friend of mine had her for a week and things were going well, she loved the two girls and her husband was loving his new bff, for other reasons the roommate was having issues with Remie and wasn't being fair to her when she was home alone with her, so my friend and her husband didn't feel like it was fair for Remie to be treated like that and she could find a better home. At this point i'm absolutely lost for words or ideas. I have no clue what to do with Remie, I just want to take her with us, I want to come and rescue her. She just needs a loving home to give her a chance to be a dog. She isn't in one place long enough to get used to things. She loves the outside and the grass, which we didn't have here, she likes the dog park too which helps her socialize with dogs since we couldn't do that here either, she's learned to like kids and meets new people all the time......she's going to be a pretty awesome dog, especially when she learns how to walk on a leash and the "come" command lol. Thanks to my forever amazing family, my mom was tired of Remie not having a real home so she, my dad, my sister and Casper took her in. My dad and her started out a little rough, but my sister helps and my mom is home all day and says she loves being outside on the porch and does really well at home for her. She's been there for almost a week and I pray every night that Remie is a good dog and my dad finds the love in his heart for another pup. She'll be 10 months old this week so she's got a lot to learn and probably more trouble to get into before the puppy stage is over. I still hope something changes in Barbados and i'm able to bring her, but until then she's in the best home ever and Casper is probably teaching her stuff and they might annoy each other sometimes but you can tell they're becoming buddies. Thanks again to my family for putting my emotions at ease by taking Remie, I can't thank you enough, any dog would be so lucky to have you as a family and Remie got that chance.

Laura (my sister) and I have been wanting to get something permanent to remember my grandfather who passed away Aug 20th, 2009. It's been a little over 2 years and we always talk about what we'll get, it may of changed a few times but ended up what we wanted in the first place. We did it over my Christmas visit home. I know he would of not liked this idea at all and I actually thought while I was getting it done that he was not happy looking down at me and Laura, but probably a little happy we still think about him all the time and want to keep him close to us forever. Our Grandpa was an amazing man, he was always so funny even in his last years it still came out somehow, he also made sure we all knew God, even when he passed he kept saying "know Christ", that was his legacy for all of us. We'll miss him forever and one day get to see him healthy and happy again! Love him with all my heart xoxo!

NeW YeArs! 2012

Back from our holiday trip to Orlando and ready to write my first post of 2012!! So far this year, it hasn't gone so well. My last few days I was sick, we had to leave our families and also had to leave behind our dog. This year will turn around at some point, but it can't come fast enough.


Our long 2 week trip was great! Remie flew for the first time and I had a surprise 4 some pick me up at the airport and help out with the dog. Remie was quite scared and the sedative didn't seem to really help, I think the anxiety took over the meds lol, but, she made it to Craig's safe, even got a Chick-fil-a fry on the way! I brought her to the dog park a few times so she could meet some friends, got her some new toys and got her all set up at Craig's. She loves it there, runs in the back yard, gets to chase her toys in the grass and not cement, Craig plays with the hose and she loves that too. There's 3 boys there so she'll be spoiled with play time. So happy Craig adopted our pup, but i'm sure going to miss her hanging out all day with us. Gonna be quiet at home. Christmas was busy as usual, we surprised our parents with some pretty awesome gifts this year. Spent lots of money on clothes and even more on food. Darin claims to have gained about 10lbs while we were home because all we did was go eat with people. We went to a Magic game, Darin got to surf, my best friend moved 5 mins from my house so I got to see her a lot, Darin's parents threw a big holiday party and I got an awesome present from Darin. New Years was great, we went to my friend Reanne's house and she had the best little party set up!! Great little foods out, nice decorations and a fun looking bar! As always, i'll put some pictures up of our trip but here's some of each of our families.
