Moby and stuff...

these pictures of moby were taken after a walk on a pretty warm day! It was hilarious. we got back and he wouldn't leave the kitchen floor (cuz its cooler) he drank all his water and then just rolled all over the floor trying to keep cool. Randan and I were laughin at him for a good 20 min. ha ha. I can't believe how big he's gettin! I've already loosened his collar 4 notches! He's such a good puppy (most the time) and I'm so glad we have him
a little bit else of whats been goin on. I'm just finishing up my classes. I had my lab final today (5/11) then my last day of photo class is tomorrow then lecture final is 5/18! Then I'll have a month off (what to do what to do) and my summer class will start July 6th! I'm taking Chemistry and it will be mon-thurs from 9:30-2!
Randan's just been busy busy busy with all his courses that they have him in! He's gotten high shooter in 2 or 3 of them which is amazing! He's gone quite a bit but what else could we expect! He'll be gone for a month then home for 15 days then they deploy! how time flys, feels like he just got home! however, things could and more than likely will change a million times before it happens! I'm so proud of him for what he's doing and for how well he does it! being a marine wife i don't say thank you enough to all the men and women in the Military! They put in a lot of hard work and a lot of hours all to fight for our country! Its pretty amazing!
The other day we had a BBQ with a lot of the people/couples in randans sniper platoon! It was really fun and really good to get to know all the wives! We're going to continue to get together when the guys are gone! Its great having such a fun/supportive/great group of wives, and i am so thankful for them even tho i just met them!
so thats whats up lately! We miss you all and hope you're doing well!

8 Weeks!!

Well today was Mobys first vet visit! He had a checkup and his first set of vaccines! I can't believe how fast he's grown, doc said he's gonna be a big dog! ha, oh boy! He's such a good little puppy and so much fun! He does so good at nights too he actually likes his crate! he loves his chew rope, raw hide bone, and Randan's shoes ha ha! His favorite place to sleep is on Randans shoes (Randan gets pretty mad ha ha ) he hates the vacuum and riding in the car! Potty trainings comin along good hes started going to the door even when he has to go! Smart puppy! I can't wait tell he's had all his vaccinations so i can take him to the park and stuff!

new addition to our lil family!

no no i'm not prego! we got a puppy!!! and he is sooo....... dang stinkin cute!! My sister's lab had puppies and they just turned 6 weeks so friday night we went and got him! we got a golden one and his name is Moby! I've always wanted a yellow lab and Randan cracked. I couldn't believe it! one day (after talkin to his dad) he came home and said "I think we should get the puppy!! and our secret but I think Randan's more excited than i am about him! ha ha! He's been such a good puppy rode so well back to cali, and has been wonderful except at nights he's a little bit of a pain but what do you expect from a puppy right?? haha. hopefully we don't have a Marly dog on our hands (you know what I'm talking about if you've seen Marly and me) ha! I'm sure you'll hear all about our lil adventure with moby!! ha! (Thanks again meag and reece, we love him!!!) here's some pictures of the cute lil guy!!

Randans new obsession!!

okay, so i'll probably get in big trouble for this but its too funny not to post. well funny to me anyways! ha
So Randan's Sniper Platoon has this thing with "lets see what we can get away with, with having long hair"! So they have to get it cut on the sides but they leave the top ridiculously long. So that being said, Randan is pretty proud of how long his hair is getting.
If you know Randan about the only time he does his hair is for church, but the other day I walk into the bathroom and caught Randan combing his hair, oh so serious! It took a few minutes before he knew i was there but I couldn't keep from laughing. Since then he's been wearing his hair in this wonderful, thick, fluffy, not quite, but almost a combover! He thinks its pretty sexy! he cracks me up! I guess we'll let him keep thinking that! ha ha...

update!

Well Randan made it home from mountain sniper and bridgeport cold weather training alive!! He's glad to be home! In his Mountain Sniper course 8 started and 4 finished. One night they dug a 7 foot hole and thats where they slept waking up for an hour every 3 hours to make sure it didn't cave in. the rest the nights they slept on top of the snow. Randan said the night in the snow cave was his warmest night. Randan got high shooter in Mountain Sniper which is quite the accomplishment! He's Amazing!
As for me i've been plugin away at school. I'm taking Anatomy and a black and white film photography class. Anatomy is keeping me plenty busy, but I love both my classes! I actually look forward to going to school!
we've had 2 long weekends since Randan's been home, This weekend has been beautiful and we've been enjoying California weather, hangin out by the pool!
Kindof a boring post but I just had to update! Randan said he took some pretty cool pictures up there but he doesn't have them so i'll have to post them later!

mother-daughter time!

Randans been gone for 2 weeks and has 3 more to go so my mom came down and spent the weekend with me! It was so good to have her here and I am so so lucky and blessed to have such a wonderful mom. Mom and I(and sadie) always have a good time together! Even when we don't do anything there's always lots of laughter and good times! We hung out at the beach attempted painting my apt but then realized we didn't have a ladder ha, and spent a whole day at the Orange County Swap Meet! It was so fun, and just what I needed! Thanks so much mom for coming!

christmas!!

Randan and I had a wonderful but interesting christmas break! Randan had 15 days for vacation and we spent it all in Enterprise! We spent Christmas Eve at my parents house and then had Christmas again the day after at the Woods! Randan and I are so spoiled. Both our families were way too generous!! It was so wonderful and fun tho! It was so fun to see all our nieces and nephews get so excited about Christmas and Santa! On the 28th Randan and I decided to go on a date. We were on our way home we got to dammron Valley and heard clunk clunk clunk.. so we pulled over and to make a long story short eventually the car wouldn't start, and the engine was shot! =( So for my birthday the next day we went car shopping! I was pretty bummed about it and feeling a bit sorry for myself when i realized how truely lucky and blessed we were. Things could've been a lot worse and I was bummed about getting a new car, pretty lame =) after shopping all day we got a 2006 Honda Accord. My family met us in St.George and we went to the Brick oven for din din! We came back to Cali on the 1st to 80 degree weather. How nice. =) It sure was wonderful to be in Enterprise and with family for the holidays! Thanks everyone for putting up with us for so long, we had a great time!
Now back to reality, on the 4th Randan goes to Bridgeport for Mountain Sniper. Bridgeport is near Lake Tahoe so he'll be in the freezing cold with lots of snow! He'll be there till the 12th of February. Luckily I start school on January 11th, so that should help keep me busy!!
