Merry Christmas!

We hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We had a great christmas. It'll be our last Christmas in Florida, so it is kinda sad but we are excited to move.
For Christmas we receive guitar hero from his parents. I have played it before when I went home to visit my family and I was addicted to it, so now I am getting use to playing it again and so far I have been doing fairly well on it.
We also got a new shelf so I can put my snowglobe collection on it and picture frames. It is real nice to have another shelf so we can have more room. Cora got a doggie bed from us and so far she's been sleeping on it. We leave it in the living room so she can lay on it while we are watching tv, or playing guitar hero.
Some other gifts we received were a griddle, blender, carpet cleaner, snow globes, candy, picture frames, etc.
Now that the holidays are almost over, I am getting ready to start carpet cleaning and start packing up some boxes in the garage. It's never too soon to start packing especially when we have many things in our garage that we do not use at this moment.

Pictures at the dog park!

Here are some of the pictures we took at the dog park.
We take Cora to the park about once a week. Now that we are out of school, we can take her more often.

Happy Holidays!

There is nothing like Florida weather. It amazes me how one day can be 70 degrees and then the next day it can be in the 40s. No wonder why people are coming down with colds. Luckily we are not sick. I am usually sick once a year or maybe twice. Just depending on the year! We went to the Doggie Park with Cora on friday. It was a nice day and it wasn't too cold outside. We took some pics at the park.

As some of you may already know we are done with school for the term. So now we are on our winter break. It has been a good break so far. It has been quite relaxing for me not to worry about school work. Work is going great. With the holiday season just around the corner, it has been quite busy at work but it is great because I enjoy staying busy.

I will be posting more pictures on here shortly!

I am finished with my holiday shopping for the year. I am so excited to be done with christmas shopping. I can't wait till Christmas gets here. This year we are going to just stay home and have a turkey dinner and open presents. We got Cora a dog bed and hopefully she'll sleep on it or if she doesn't then we will just keep it down in the living room and she can lay on it while watching tv. We will see what she ends up doing. This will be our last christmas in Florida, so it is a little sad but exciting at the same time. We are ready for change and moving to a different state will be a great experience. We have seen so much already and we can not wait to see mountains again.

Thanksgiving

Kenny and I spent thanksgiving at home this year. We had a couple friends come over to enjoy a great meal. I made my first turkey and it turned out wonderful. I was so excited about the outcome of the whole dinner. I made green bean casserole, mash potatoes, squash, rolls and turkey. I have recently started baking, I think that with it being the holiday season its making me want to bake a lot more.

We had a nice thanksgiving break from school and now we are both back in our classes. My last final is December 12th and I will be done with school for now. I will be receiving my AA degree this month and then once we move to NM we both will be looking for a college to start our Bachelors program. I am very excited to be almost finished with school. This term has been going fairly well and the teachers have not been too hard. It has been amazing how fast this term has gone by.

Cora is now 19 months today. She's growing up so fast and it's been a great time with her so far. She is such a smart puppy and it's amazing how well she is behaved. She is a golden/lab mix. Cora is an amazing dog and we enjoy spending a lot of time with her.

Update!

Just an update! I have been living in Florida for over 2 years now. Kenny has been in the Air Force for 5 years. We found out September 16th that we are being station in New Mexico. We have to be there by April 30th, We have not decided on when we will be leaving but we will keep you guys posted.


On September 17th, My sister and John welcomed a baby boy.
Carey Noah Blackwell! I am a proud aunt and I can not wait to see him. He is now 2 months and he is growing so fast.











We got our dog Cora Leigh Feb. 3rd, 2008. She was 10 months at the time and now she is 19 months. Her birthday is April 1st. She is growing everyday and I think she is getting bigger but my husband thinks she's been the same since we got her. She is the highlight of our lives and we enjoy every moment with her. She is a very smart dog for her age and she is well behaved. At times she does jump up on people but she's still a puppy and she has a ton of energy.
