You guys are not going to believe this! At least, I still don’t. I’m still in shock and it has been a few days. But anyway, Sunday was Gene and I’s 8th anniversary together and we had the very best day. We played a game of bowling, played miniature golf, played old and broken arcade games and then went out to dinner. That night Gene proposed to me and gave me the absolute, most gorgeous ring in the world. It was the BIGGEST surprise of my LIFE. I am still not sure if it really happened or not. I feel like I am living in another dimension. Below are the pictures.

Friday we leave for California so I wont be posting until after July 12th. I am still in SHOCK!

My dogs have killed two baby birds in the last few days. The birds don’t even have feathers and I can’t figure out why the mother is letting them out of the nest so early? Especially in a backyard with dogs!! Ugh. It’s frustrating because I feel so awful for the little birdies and I get so angry with my dogs but at the same time, I can’t get too mad at them as they are only doing what instinct tells them to do.

Ugh anyway.. Went and saw Nacho Libre today. Very, very funny. I actually briefly pulled a muscle in my side/stomache area from laughing so hard but luckily after some self-taught relaxation techniques I was able to loosen the muscle up and enjoy the rest of the movie. If you don’t like Jack Black and you don’t get his humor, don’t go see it. If you love him, like me, go see it right now! It’s awesome.

I got myself a black pair of crocs today. I have had my pink pair for a year now? About exactly one year. They are still in decent shape and I love them but as much as I hate to admit it, they don’t match everything. So I got a black pair for our trip and also just to have so that I can wear them with anything. I love them because they are sooo comfortable. I’ve never tried the “off” brand ones.. but I figured $30 for a pair of shoes that lasts me over a year can’t be too bad.

My foot is still sore. Today proved exactly how sore it is. I definitely am not better enough to start my evening walks back up and I am really, really bummed about this. I feel like I am gaining back every single pound I lost because of my lack of exercise. I do have some barbell weights laying around the house and am thinking I need to start doing that to replace the walking until I am fully better. I hate this!! :(

That is all for now, I guess. I am going to go find something to do around the house or go rest in bed. Gotta go back to work tomorrow and I realized that the weekend went back WAY too quickly. I am not ready to go back :( But I do think I am going to take off work early sometime later this week so that I can go get my hair done. I’m getting some highlights and a cut.

I updated the layout. It is basic but that is the best I could do for now. I don’t think I’ll ever get time to actually sit down and enjoy my *new* computer. I haven’t even been able to do much on it since I got it. Things just keep happening and life just continues to be busy. A break would greatly be appreciated!

Still waiting on word from Layla’s doctor as to whether or not she can go on our trip with us. She has lost most function of her left inner ear due to this virus she had and the doctor is supposed to give us a yes/no answer by Tuesday as to whether or not she can fly. I’m really hoping he says yes because if he says she can’t go with us I am going to be devastated. Bleh. Don’t wanna talk about that right now.. it is a touchy subject.

Moving on.. last Sunday I stepped in a hole on our evening walk and sprained my ankle pretty badly. I was out of work on Monday and I worked short days on Tues/Wed. I am still extremely sore and can’t walk as much as I used to. I am just hoping it heals up really well before our trip. I have sprained my ankle a lot in my life and I have never, ever been in pain this long with an ankle injury. The doc x-rayed it and said it looked ok. She did mention an MRI to check for hairline fractures but I am too cheap to do that ;) If it continues for weeks I may have to do it.. but we’ll see. I just think I pulled some muscles in my foot.

That is all. I gota go. Gonna spend time with my baby and enjoy my Saturday night. We’ve almost got our trip fully planned and I am totally excited. I’ll be able to enjoy it more when, hopefully, Layla’s doctor says she can go. My nerves are shot!

I am so sorry for not updating on my sister’s condition. Life has really, really been busy lately. I promise it is not just an excuse :| So as far as Layla’s condition goes, we are still unsure of exactly what happened. They’re all guessing it is an inner ear viral infection, in which there is really no treatment. Basically you can just treat the symptoms. She has a test scheduled for June 13 but currently she is feeling almost completely better. She has spells where she gets headaches and every now & then she walks like a drunkard. Otherwise, she is ok. Still hoping that she gets clearance from the doc to go on a plane at the end of the month. Praying that she gets 100% better by then!

Today Gene and I did yardwork. He mowed the yard, I weed-eated the yard and we gave the dogs a bath outside. We both just got out of the shower ourselves and I started a load of laundry. I am craving Cheeseburger In Paradise right now and I’m trying my best to put the craving aside.

I wish I could say more but I am lazy right now. Just wanted to update because I feel really bad. Also wanted to say that I am visiting my blogroll pretty frequently still. I am just bad at commenting and bad at posting on my own blog. I’d like to give my blog a makeover if I ever get enough time to do so.
