GoodBye Best Fiance Ever & Welcome Lamest Fiance On Earth!!!!

Man oh Man! Let us say, for the stories sake, that you could have the worst day ever, what would that incorporate? Maybe your house is caught on fire and possibly someone you know is stuck inside, and maybe that someone you know was actually inside your house because they broke in with the intent to steal all your valuables and sell them on ebay for double what you paid for them! Would that day qualify as a "bad day"? I would say so, but what if we could claim today was an even worse day for me because... I forgot Brads birthday!!!! There I said it! I forgot!!!!! Whats even worse about it all is that we just celebrated the day of his birth early to insure his father was present for the celebration. So technically I remembered, thanks to his mother, and turned around and forgot again. I have the attention span of a goldfish apparently! I know what your thinking... isn't it even worse for Brad that you Jamee forgot about him and the day his mother gave birth to him? No, I say because hes a man who simply doesn't care about being older or celebrating this special day, he only cares that he has one up on me for the rest of my life! On one very special day that we will share, I will wait around and wonder if has forgotten the holiday (any holiday pick one, birthday, anniversary... OH NO CHRISTMAS???), and he will simply have the luxury to say "I forgot and I don't care that I forgot, and because you forgot my birthday, you cant care that I forgot either"...

So here right now, in the very chair that I sit at during work hours (sorry boss) I have come to terms with two things:
1. I am not the fiance that I pride myself on and tell others that I am, instead I am a "no happy birthday" giving girlfriend until around noon!
and
2. One day I will wait around for a gift that is never coming!!!!

I just turned this sad circumstance into a poor Jamee moment, when in reality its Brads birthday!!! Yep bloggerworld that just happened!

Poor Little Park Bench Sitting Grannys

I wonder today if you happened to notice that something fishy was going about? Did you happen to notice that all the birds that usually reside around your house were gone? Do you think the beaches were suddenly seagull free? Can we assume that all the grannys sitting in the park waiting to feed the birds felt a little disappointed?

Well being the versatile student that I am, let me assist you with a prognosis (medical student? no but I try)... So where exactly were all the birds you ask? Well at our house of course... literally thousands upon thousands were sitting in the trees surrounding our house and swooping about searching for food... do you think the poor economy has affected their food source as well (See next blog)?

The Value of One Measly Dollar

Let me update you with Brad and my current situation: we are living a life of poverty. For those of you who are not lucky enough to get to experience such a life I will hook you up with some information. Lets start at the beginning, our new way of life is complete with a title and its called "unemployed household". As of now its working out pretty well for us, I mean we get to spend hours upon hours together, we get to go on a special "diet" and we read in a room full of the light provided by one light bulb, or an oil lantern much like Benjamin Franklin's. I mean what is not to love about eating, everyday and sometimes twice a day, hot dogs and macaroni? The other day we enjoyed a delicacy called fish sticks and PB&J's on Ritz crackers. For those of you who are in the process of currently filling out a personal check with our names on it, just settle down. This is fun for us. Its kind of like a new twist on camping. We have pinky promised to avoid the grocery store until all the junk hidden in the back the of cupboards gets eaten, or at least sneakily thrown away. Below I have included a picture of some pathetic items from our cupboards and a shot of our bare fridge. Don't be alarmed we have a few frozen items that I'm withholding from sight. Well I have to go now because blogging simply uses too much energy and folks that's not exactly free of charge. If you don't hear from us soon its because our phones have been shut off! Live long and prosperous...

This wouldnt be too bad if we had the mayo to put with tuna, some bread for the peanut butter, some salad for the dressing and one egg to make muffins...


Notice we have an abundance of condiments, would it be wrong to make, say a condiment smoothie???

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Today was a wonderful day! Brad and I had so much fun. We hiked for about six hours straight and stopped only to have lunch, check out some animal foot prints, have a stick fight slash wrestling match, beat on some cactus' and for me to enjoy the senstation of climbing my first tree. I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday as much as we did.

The Start of our Valentines Day Nature Escapade!

This tree looked alot bigger in person.


Only half way through the hike... but were feeling good and strong!


Do I look like I know what im doing? I dont I copied the guy below!

The true hiker! Doesnt he look like such a natural within his own element?

This took some manipulating. We had a tree holding the camera, this is the better of the three shots.

A tree stump I found that was abused by a beaver!

Who you gonna call...? I dunno but were calling MonsterQuest

Do you ever watch the show MonsterQuest? Well Brad and I do and we cannot help but think these people who claim that they have seen a weird monster creature, of some sort, are simply of their rockers!!! Either they are complete liars, they smoke a lil too much, or they are in desire need of some television time. Well that was what we thought until now. Just today we stumbled upon a creature of our own, and I can promise you Brad and I were not high and we are not attention seekers nor nasty little liars. This creature we speak of had hair like a beast, but more than one beast should ever have! It was the size of Teddy but looked ferocious. Fangs? No, no fangs instead a grand nose, the size and shape of a really huge marble, and it happened to be wearing glasses... Don't believe us, well when we first saw it we didn't believe it either, but now we will surely be calling MonsterQuest to get an ID on this weird and creepy beast! If you have small children, remove them from the room before you scroll down, it can surely become the cause of many nightmares! Good Luck!







For those of you who fear going out at night, let me ease your mind. The creature is hair! Yes I said it hair, all of the hair off Baggera and Koda combined. Brad and I have this fancy lil brush thing that grabs all the dead hair out of their coats and this was the product, well I added the glasses and nose for good fun! Maybe I should get a hobby...

Wedding Update!

A new trendy idea in wedding planning has been brought to my attention. Apparently everyone and their grandma's are making wedding pages. In a nutshell its just a website that provides the guests with wedding information, gift registry and RSVP stuff. Its actually kinda cool and its fun so I am including a link if you want to check it out. I am also including the link in the Save the Dates that will be mailed out as soon as I get serious and start making them. I hope you enjoy the site!

Poor Little Guy

For those of you who do not know Bradley and I have no children. I'm sure most of you already knew that but I say this so you understand just why our blog is filled with pictures of out dogs. The reason I begin with this form of clarification is because we have had yet another "doggy issue." Teddy's hair is hardly a problem, the Koda and Baggera thicker hair can be found all over our house, so I guess Fressia your right dog peoples' houses are nasty. But, Teddy has really fine hair and it is supposed to be like hypoallergenic (i think that is the word, or I just made a new one up for Webster). The only problem with his hair is that he gets to look a little frumpy. His hair has gotten so long that is parts directly down his back and makes him look kinda "creepy old man" with a hair part. So to solve this dilemma Brad thought we should cut his hair. I did and it looked awful. Like so bad I intended to hide him from the world until it grew back. Instead Brad thought shave him more; shave him so much more until he "accidentally" shaved too much he had a bald patch. Brads solution then was to practically rid Teddy of all his hair. What a convenient time considering it is not summer, but winter and its like a good 30-40 degrees out all day. I intended to stop the shaving process early enough to leave his tail all poofy, could you imagine a bald chihuahua type dog with a huge hairy tail? But Brad got to it before I could stress the importance of a poofy tail. So now Teddy has no hair, a curly pig tail, two sweaters because hes always shivering, and such an unhappy pathetic look on his face all day and its sad. So I hope you enjoy the look of the new Teddy because Brad loves it, while Teddy and I agree he looks rediculous.
Teddy when he was happy about life!

Can you see him shivering?

And a shot of us at Teddy's First Bithday slash Transformer Party, notice how he looked previous to Daddy buzzing him?

I have never been one to be on time!

If you haven’t realized just yet I have been lacking completely on my blogging. Nikki is like my blogging hero and manages, though she actually has a family with children, to get to her blogs so I figure I have no excuse. So let’s back track a bit very quickly. For Thanksgiving we went to New Jersey to visit Wes and Nikki and it was glorious. It was nice to be around our family, let’s not jump the gun, around Brad’s family and it was a great time. I like to think I mastered ping pong, when all I really did was have a good time tempting Nikki to curse a bit because I'd win and she’s feisty when I do. We all went to the city, which was amazing. I highly recommend central park, but don’t pick up rocks because they seem to be dangerous, ask Kyler. Also Bradley would like me to mention for that trip he drove the whole way and its like 25 hours. Next on this list is Christmas. For Christmas we went and saw family in Arizona and that was so splendid. I got to try on my wedding dress, for the second time in my life because my mother is holding it hostage and I also had my first appt. at my wedding venue. The meeting went poorly but after some mean honesty on my part and my mother showing up to handle business and kick some butt, all worked out swell. The worst part about the Christmas trip was being stuck in a car with Trevor, who had a tendency to toot the whole way. Lets not underestimate the length of time within a sealed truck with a fart smell... it was like 17 hours! So there is a holiday update. I promise I will stay on task in the near future.

Marley & Me... well Koda and us!

Mrs. Whitehead and I decided that Marley and Me was a must see. Owen Wilson is funny, Jennifer Anniston is awesome and what’s not to love about a destructive couch eating dog? This film is full of mans best friends doing things that no best friend should ever do like tearing up floors, jumping out car windows, and reeking havoc on all it comes in contact with. Though the movie started off well, I have to rate it about one of the worst movies ever made, in the whole history of movies! If you have seen the film you will know why and if u haven’t?... good luck with your attempt at not crying and the headache you get as a product of it. After the film ended and my tears left streaks in my makeup the day made a turn for the best; we went to Olive Garden. I know by now your thinking get to the point of the blog, and I promise you I will. So soon after the fettuccini began its digestion I get a call from Bradley. He starts off with "you know how people say my dog ate my homework? Well Koda actually ate your textbooks." The humorous part about this whole shenanigan is that NAU starts Monday and today is Friday and I have to buy my books online which takes up to fourteen days for delivery. So I literally bought textbooks for Koda to selfishly broaden her own horizons. Good thing I just watched a movie about the loyalty that "the worst dog ever" provides or else poo would have hit the fan. (FYI: that’s a nasty analogy)!



This is after the fact, I had to set her up for this shot.

BOGO Gone Wrong!

When Brad and I first committed to this relationship we both supported a BOGO sale. For those of you who have yet to see the Payless commercials, I will break it down for you. BOGO stands for the awesome sale in which you BuyOneGetOne free. I got Brad and received, for free, Baggera his huge coco lab. With me he got something a little different. He got me and a free black cat named Ebony. Though he may feel as though he got cheated, I must aggressively disagree. However I did get a free dog out of this arrangement and yet I still felt scammed. You see this dog is HIS dog, a man's dog, a "butchey" girl if a may say so. We have come to the conclusion that this dog, if she was a person, she would definitely be a biker chick. The one causing bar fights and breaking bottles over men's heads. She would also include a deep rough voice and say things like, "You better get out of my way if you know whats good for you." So that as it may be, I received the green light to get a dog of my own. Immediately I wanted a lil dog, Teddy is his name, and I have been happy with him since the day I brought him home. One problem though: if someone broke into the house and I was forced to hide under the bed Teddy would be right next to me. He provides little protection and because Brad usually resides in the shop with the tough dog and I hate to be alone in the house, unarmed with a fierce weapon that bites, a new dog was surely on the grocery list. To us, if Teddy was a human being, he would surely be feminine and possibly gay. So we got me... a "butchy" girl: Koda is her name, a beautiful German Shepherd puppy, with monstrous paws and the sharpest teeth I have yet to see on a baby dawg. So i dedicate this here blog to the introduction of our newest memeber of the pack and to the completion, so far, of Bradley and Jamee's Wonderful Family!

3 out of the 4 babies.

Rat? Dog? RATDOG??
