Introduction

I have been contemplating starting a blog for several weeks now, this afternoon I finally decided to jump in and do it!  SO, welcome to my blog, I'm glad that you have taken a few minutes to delve into my life and share some of those "oh so funny moments" with me!

Quick History - My husband, who I will call 'K' for all intents and purposes is the love of my life, he makes me laugh until I cry and is truly my best friend.  We have been married for just over a year!

Happy Anniversary to us!

As you can tell we are also DIE HARD K-State fans, as a gift last year K got me season basketball tickets and I LOVED them, so much that we got them again this year!

While we don't have children (yet....) we do have some fur children of our own.  A quick introduction:

Maggie: Ultimately called "Sarah's Dog" it is not a secret that Maggie and K have a deep seeded friendship (and love) for each other.  This is typically displayed during late night work sessions and Sunday afternoon football.  They truly do LOVE each other.  Currently Maggie is sporting her Bob Marley look as we have not taken her to get a hair cut in quite some time, I will be sure to post before and after pictures!  Since I have been layed up the last two weeks, this dog has not left my side and has been there for me the entire time!

 Abbie:  Kevin thought he needed a dog "to go running with" so he got a greyhound/whippet. While Abbie is technically "Kevin's Dog" she really enjoys hanging out with me. She is a great nap taker and always up for a little entertainment when we go outside and she has to show off for our guests.  I have never met an animal who is as incredibly OCD as she is, this is one of THE cleanest dogs I have ever met - - - to the point she will clean Maggie as well.

Our final family member is Fiona - there is a bit of a backstory that goes with this child.  For MONTHS I had BEGGED K to let me get a cat.  When I found out that we had a slight issue with mice in our basement I was CONVINCED I needed a cat to take care of this problem.  I whined and whined and WHINED for one and even tried to trap the neighborhood stray!  Our lovely neighbor knew how bad I wanted a cat so one day she showed up at our house with this kitten from her parents farm.  The kitten had been abandoned by the mother (for good reason as you will find out), it's little eyes were matted shut and it was pretty pathetic.  Looking back K and I are pretty sure that it was on it's final few days.  Not really wanting this kitten I politely asked K if we could keep it (knowing that he would say 'no, I'm allergic').  To my absolute surprise he said sure - - - for the next few days I spend feeding this kitten soft kitty food, washing it's little face and nursing it back to health.  In the beginning 'the cat' was on probation, we were just 'trying it out' -  -  -  and honestly, it was pretty chill, it would sit on our computer keyboards and just hang out.  So K named her Fiona

AND THEN the holy terror grew up.  I could go on and on about all of the naughty things this cat does.  One day I took off my wedding ring and set it on the end table next to me, only to see the cat grab it in her mouth and take off.  She seems to like to carry my jewelry around the house.  She instigates fights among the dogs during the middle of the night, she crawls on the very top of my headboard, she jumps in the shower and bathtub with you, she is awful.  But we named her, and K loves her, so I guess we are stuck.  I tried to get her to run away one day by putting her outside, she came back.  SO, I guess we are stuck with her.
