I'm So Excited!!

And I just can't hide it . . . so I'm going to tell you all about it!! (but not really cause some of it is a secret) . . .

• Mase's TOP SECRET bachelorette party is this weekend!! KINDA freaking out about this. Should be good.
• My kitties turn 3 this weekend (holy cow time flies!)!! Makes me want to go out and get them each a kitty for their birthday!
• Shaney's finally coming home from a 4 day work trip that was 4 days too long! I really missed him.
• Excited that (I think) we finally came to a conclusion on our house . . . we were going to completely redo the entire downstairs layout, but I think we will just drywall some things and wait a couple years to see if we really like where we are and then maybe do an addition upstairs. We are getting our septic redone this summer, and I just want to enjoy what we have right now.
  
• Excited for one of my BFFs, who just bought her own house! Can't wait to go see it and help her out with it!
• My sister-in-law and brother-in-law also got a new house! They are amazing at decorating and making homes look awesome, so I'm excited to see what they do with it!

Yikes!

Kitties Getting Ready for Christmas . .

Took out some of our Christmas stuff . . . .
Nina picked the blanket.
Jinx picked the wrapping paper.

Even they are getting excited too! :-)

Nikkie's Bridesmaid Dress!

Nikkie picked up my bridesmaid dress for her wedding and brought it up to Erie this weekend. I tried it on, and it fits!! Yay! I will have to get the strap a little tighter though. As you can see, my kitties loved it as well! Well . . . they loved the bag that it came in . . .

Now to just get a dress for Katie's wedding . . . anybody see any cute, knee length, strapless, black dresses anywhere for under $50?! Maybe under $75? I need help!

The Steelers & The Kitties!

Yay!!!! The Steelers won!!!! What an awesome game!! After the 3rd quarter, I lean over to Shane and say "I wish Arizona would score a touchdown so the game would be more interesting." . . . Ugh . . . be careful what you wish for!! It definitely was a great game though, and couldn't have ended more perfectly! I was kinda bummed about Troy's play . . . he seemed a little out of it. And you know . . . Santonio Holmes got the MVP award, which I totally agree with for the Superbowl, but overall for the season. . . I do not think you can really pick just one player. That's what I love about the Steelers!! They just have such a diverse, awesome team. Everyone is good and plays so well as a team, where other teams just have one or two really good players that win it for them. Can't wait for next season! Lucky Seven!

And on another note. . . my kitties were being cute and crazy again. Jinx decided to go in our shower and lay on the little seating area. And Nina was just being cute.

Happy 1st Birthday to My Kitties!

*nina & jinx are the ones closest to me (far right)
my grandma got one of the boy "orange" ones. . he's like twice the size of our kitties!






last year we took in two barn kitties from shane's aunt & today is their 1 year birthday!! they have grown into such crazy kitties, but we love them!


nina - named nina b/c she was the "explorer" . . she loved to check everything out and was by far the more social kitty (she is the diluted -- light grey -- calico). now she is the lazier, but more girly kitty. as soon as my alarm clock goes off in the morning you can hear her sprint down the hall and jump on our bed . . she comes right up to my face and just purrs and kneads me! such a great way to start my day!





jinx - named jinx b/c shane liked the name and b/c she's just crazy. she was definitely more afraid and not so lovey in the beginning, but now she's probably more affectionate than nina. she is the super hyper kitty who likes to jump really high (takes after her mommy). but we do have a problem with her at night . . . she likes to not leave us alone . . . the best way to describe her is by using this "bad kitty video". . . so we have to put the kitties in their kitty room every night . . . which is a bummer but we've tried EVERYTHING to get her to not do that. . . . we just don't get it.


awesome video of jinx showing off her high jumping abilities . . .



also to be added later . . . . some more pics! stay tuned!
