Hello Yoko

We did it...we got a new cat. Since Sammy died our family hasn't felt complete, something was missing. Sammy is still missing, but I just couldn't resist her. It took a couple of days for Josh to agree to get her and on Monday she finally came home. Josh named her Yoko. She's just itty bitty and isn't scared of a thing. She's not scared of the big dogs or Meow. Meow isn't too crazy about Yoko but is getting better with her everyday. She definitely doesn't replace Sammy, Josh and I still miss him all the time and have even caught ourselves calling Yoko Sammy, but she's fitting in the family really well.She has loved Josh ever since she came to our house. She cuddles and sleeps right up against him while he is sitting on the couch.

Lucky Number 9

Last week Tara told me about a job that was opening up at the doctor's office she works at and told me to hurry and send my resume in. So I hurried and updated my resume and she took it into work with her on Tuesday. She put in a good word for me (again Tara, thank you!) and I got an interview yesterday and got the job! I'm so excited to change jobs, I'm burnt out from my current one. I'm also excited that it is Monday thru Friday 9-5, no more weekends or holidays...Yay! It'll be sad to leave the friends I've made at TG and to leave some of my favorite residents but this new job will be exciting. It'll be scary at the same time though, new jobs always are.

Games and Adventures in Dog Breeding

We spent last weekend playing games and spending time with friends. Cody had told Josh about this Nazi Zombie game so Friday night we went over to Cody and Tara's to play. I'm not very good on the Xbox so I didn't play but the boys sure do love to play Halo and Josh had lots of fun playing the Nazi Zombie game. On Saturday night, we got invited by a friend of mine from work to go play Nazi Zombies at her house with her husband. We went and got some dinner at Jimmy John's, a new sandwich shop here in town, then headed out to their house to play. First Josh and I played Mario Kart on the Wii, it was so much fun, we really need to get a Wii. Then it was time for the Zombies! We played until the wee hours of the morning and had lots of fun. I finally did try to play a little and didn't do too bad!We aren't doing too much this weekend. I have to work and Josh has a couple of reports to do for school. Last night we got invited to Cody and Tara's for steaks that were yummy! Cody makes the best steaks. Their pug Athena is in heat so they found a stud for her and were wanting to try to see if they could get a litter of little puggies. Her boyfriend came over last night while we were there and it was hilarious! The boy pug was HUGE! And had a serious breathing problem, we thought the poor thing was going to have a heart attack. Athena didn't want anything to do with him and he just kept smelling her. She went and hid in her box, and the boy was trying to get into the box with her. We were laughing so hard at the two of them and the dog mating humor...let's just say Josh and Cody got attacked by the dogs. Things didn't work out and they took the boy back home today, too bad for Beana!!
I hope you all have a great Labor Day weekend.
