Welcome home Jeep Liberty!

Check out my new ride. After driving through a gigantic puddle in Holland about 3 weeks ago in the Stratus, I decided that I needed a new car. Driving around in the summer with no air, windows, locks or radio got to me fast, I could not take it anymore. Electrical problems are hard to fix and it just was not worth it. Don't get me wrong the Stratus was a trooper and got me where I needed to go, but this car will get me there on time, without having to make emergency "what should I do?" calls to Lance and Dad. Check it out!

4 wheel drive so I don't get stuck every other day this Winter. Take that Northern Michigan!!

Goodbye Sadie

Harley and I are very sad today. Some of you may know that Sadie has been feeling kind of sick lately, she was scheduled to go to the vet today. Unfortunately her poor little gecko body was too weak to go on. Sadie died today just before leaving for the vet. I never knew how attached I have become to my geckos until today. I feel sad; Harley's cute little girlfriend is gone. Lance and I made her a little gecko casket today and held her funeral at the end of the pier. She was such a good gecko, may she rest in peace as she watches over the beautiful bay. I love you Sadie!!

To help Harley make the adjustment to life without Sadie, Lance and I renovated his cage completely. He has a hammock, stone hut, log hut, desert backdrop, bathing pool, and heat lamp. He is going to love his new place and I hope he does not get too lonely!

Today I spent a large part of the day at Lances dad's shop. I learned to change my own oil (completely by myself, I know you are all very proud), and I also got to test out the driver's seat in the new 900 horse off road race truck. It is coming together well and I can't wait to see him running circles around everyone on tv this summer. His dad is sponsored by Monster Energy drink (he will be in the truck with the blue "low carb" decals). Anyway it was a great day up north and I am excited that summer is finally starting to show its face around here. Enjoy the pics.....

Smokes got some new clothes in the mail today. They are handmade with love, by Aunt Jayme. Smokes is way excited for his new spring collar and can't wait to show it off to every0ne that walks by the window to the mailbox. Thanks Jayme for making Smokes so stylish. Here are a few pics of him trying to say thank you!

Here he is being difficult and sticking out his tongue.

And another uncooperative picture. Of course he wont look when you want him too!

Inversion Table

I bought an inversion table yesterday. It feels SOOO good on my back. Lance likes it too. It takes up a bit of space in my small apartment, but I am so excited to have one. I have been wanting one for a long time. Check it out.....

Now I can have traction any time I want.

Spring is in the Air

Smokes even got outside to enjoy the nice day today. The sun was out and the snow banks were melting. Lets hope this continues.

April SNOW showers bring May flowers?

It snowed here last night, can't believe it........I am cold! I guess I should have expected it living in Northern Michigan. So, if anyone has a burning desire to make a snow angel, snowman or snowball, head on over to my place and we will have a real good time!
