What a start to the year!!!

Before I begin with my real post for the month I would like to introduce you to something new that I have created for the blog. They are called snap shots they are things that I forgot to say and or explain in previous posts.

Snap shot number one. Thank you to Hannah for letting me borrow her charger in November so I could go on my business trips. You’re the greatest! Snap shot number two. I realize now that I never put choreographing a dance on my bucket list but it is something I have always wanted to do and I am glad it happened in November. We are having rehearsals soon so it can be shown at other places.

2011 has been an exciting year for me so far. We were all sitting around my mom and dad’s kitchen table having a microboard meeting. I was reading the agenda out loud as usual and I said ok now we are on the last one. Then after a very brief discussion my mom said ok there is one more thing to discuss. I said ok I don’t see it. She said turn the page. It was blank. I was confused. She said turn it again and the next page reads talk about Jessi’s new puppy. On that page was a picture of a puppy that I found out later was a Cavapoo a cavalier king charles spaniel mixed with a poodle. I was in complete shock. After a moment of silence I screamed oh my G-d. You have got to be kidding me. Oh my gosh. Over and over again. At this point my brother says to me are you hyperventilating. I then say are the girls ok with this and the rest is history. He is my new love. I am beyond greatful for all the hard work mom, Tonya, Mina, Lindsy and Rebecca are doing to train him to be the best dog he can be. Once again I can cross something off my bucket list. Thank you is not enough Mom and Dad for how happy I am to have a dog as a member of the purple pad. After much thought I have decided to name him Teddy. One of the things I have always wanted since I moved in was a dog and now man’s best friend is here to stay.

Teddy and I wish you all happiness and joy in 2011 as we begin our new life together.

From the happiest dog owner in Des Plains,
