these past few days we have been kitty sitting pj, bella's brother, & it's been really fun!  at first they were kinda giving each other attitude, but they're much better now.  joe & i have both woken up to pj sleeping at our heads on our pillows & than bella sleeping at on legs or on our tummy.  it's really cute!  some of my favorite's of the babes:

last night joe took me out & we came across the most adorable halloween costume at kids pottery barn.  it's of a shark & it's just incredible.  we called his mom to see if his little brother parker had decided what he wanted to be & if not that we could get it for him.  if he doesn't want to be it, i can totally fit in it & would be so excited to be a shark haha!  we also bought a few large picture frames for some poster that we want to put in our dinning room.  things still aren't all put together, it's hard, but two of my favorite things so far:

we went to see nfg on wednesday & it was pretty cool.  having to hang out in colorado springs, not so cool, but it was at a small venue & nfg played some awesome covers, old songs & wore their funny wind-breakers.  i loved it.

time to make dinner!

cassidy's wedding.

& my fav:

joey made dinner tonight & it was really yummy.  we played a bit of tennis earlier today & yesterday too,  he kicked my butt & made fun of me "i thought you played tennis in high school?"  well i did & yes i'm not very good now, but it was still a lot of fun.  yesterday after tennis we cleaned up & went down to the creek.  really for no special reason we just wanted to hang out & i love when we just walk around together.  we ended up getting a super cute card for cassidy's wedding that we're attending on tuesday night & than i got a few things.  

we both had wednesday off which we took bebe bella in for her appointment to get spayed.  i felt really bad walking out of the vet without her, but i felt even worse when we brought her home because she was sooo out of it & in so much pain.  i've never had a pet so i had no idea the whole process, but her poor little tummy is shaved & swollen & it's just so sad, but she's feeling better now.  she's obsessed with feathers, so we bought her an obnoxious new one:

we also both had yesterday off, j woke me up with fabulous pancakes:

he used this really neat gigantic star shaped cutout that my mommy got for us.  while we ate we watched hours of the us open, it was incredible.  my mom also got me a hello kitty humidifier [whatever, i love it] it's so funny where it is in the room & than bella sits on the bed & watches the mist for so long.  oh & she also likes to be adorable & crawl under the sheets & cuddle in the morning:

this whole post is so random & doesn't quite make sense, so i'm just going to watch the vma's now haha & watch later.

we now have internet & cable all thanks to joey! i have so many pictures & things to update about, but as much as i've wanted to do that, it's much more interesting spending time with my bebe & bella. today we rested & when i finally got up, we went downtown so i could show j around. we spent too much at aa followed by a yummy dinner at the cheesecake factory. we started to watch the notebook once we got home since he's never seen it & he fell asleep on me, of course. but then i started watching video's on ondemand & he woke up so i started singing funny songs to him. we're slightly obsessed with the everybody nose song by n.e.r.d, we've been listening to it all day & moving around all funny. we've got plans go to see them at the end of september, i'm pretty excited about it! oh & i read this crazy article today about how pharrell [my bf] is planning to cover up his tattoo's & i'm just so confused i guess i could say about the whole procedure. i'm tired, so i'll upload pictures tomorrow & write more then zzzzz.

hello all, joey & i are home in colorado! we haven't set up our cable/internet which explains the lack of updating & not being able to format this post as i like to, but we're going to do that soon. tonight we had dinner at my aunt's house & now i'm sitting on the couch eating coconut sorbet while watching joe play with bella; it's perfect! i had the whole week off & than we arrived here late friday night which included a warm welcome from mommy & von! saturday we slept in a bit, went downtown to hang out with alysha, did some running around & than brought pj back home for a sleep over with bella. sunday we took the babes to the vet & than did some shopping for our home. i got a new bike too which i totally didn't need, but i'm so excited about! it's the most wondeful feeling in the world to have joe here with me. i love him sooo much & am the most lucky girl in the world that he moved all the way out here. it's getting close to bedtime, i'll write more later!

please excuse the bags under my eyes, but here i am sitting in front of our awesome couch preparing to put together our tv stand.  with previous experience i've bought things that are the "no tools required" so i thought it'd be quick & easy to do, but with my luck i needed a screw driver & hammer so that idea was a no go.  mommy bought us a really neat floor lamp & a couple other great things.  oh & tons of tissues since my allergies have been absolutely out of control lately.  i bought bella a cute liter box, some hair clips for myself, two pillows & a nice fluffy comforter to put in our duvet. i feel like things are coming together slowly in the apartment, moving isn't a quick thing to do & i had no idea.  i'm not in too much of a rush, but the things that are complete so far look really good & i'm very happy about it.  i can't wait to take pictures & have people over.  i know, i keep saying that!

it has been way too hot outside lately & i absolutely hate it.  i moved into our apartment on tuesday, but actually i just went there to get my keys & take over some cleaning supplies.  i came back to my mommy's house to finish packing up some stuff & than later that night i went back over to drop off some boxes.  came back to spend the night & than early wednesday morning i went back over again so my furniture could be delivered & it's all just sooo beautiful.  i do have pictures, but i don't want to show any until everything is completely decorated!  the washer & dryer are kind of small so i washed my mattress pad at the house & than after work today went to the apartment to make up my bed which looks incredible.  i haven't taken over any clothes yet, so at the moment i'm pretty much staying at the house, but i have to be in the apartment by wednesday because that's when i'm going to bring bella home.  alysha has been a lifesaver & has been taking care of bella for me, she's so fabulous.  yesterday & today we did a little more shopping; a new microwave, tv stand, floor cushion, lamps & cute little things!  i really love how things are looking & i can't wait for everything to come together & look perfect & have cute little dinner parties.  one thing that made me kind of frown though was that we don't have an ice maker, but when i tell that to everyone else they're like "uh yeah okay?"  i don't know i love ice, i must be a freak or something, so i bought four decent size ice trays today. :]

one of the ladies at work had a grandma pass away & is going to have to go out of town, so i'm going to help out this weekend & work.  which means twelve days straight of working & no day off until next saturday, the nineteenth ahh. this past week i have had my office all to myself because my ops manager has been on vacation.  it's been so nice because i've been able to keep it as clean as i want the whole time & i'm all alone & get to do whatever i'd like.  this week my work load hasn't been too heavy which is nice, but at the same time i get kind of worried just because the economy is so blah.  but i'm sure it's probably nothing to worry about.  i'm really ridiculous & got some hello kitty supplies to organize my files, i can already hear everyone giggle at me, but i love it.  i'm already ready for a day off haha.

ps. my hair is growing, michelle & i already have plans for it:
