Just wanted to pop on and say hi to my peeps! :) I really don't have anything to write about but I don't want my blog to get shut down cause I didn't write anything for a while! (does that even happen?!)
Anyway...it's the weekend here. The weather has been in the 50's the past few days...hallelujah!!!! Hopefully we are done with snow. This was a loooong loooong winter! I'm itching to get my summer clothes out again...they are so much cuter than big baggy hooded sweatshirts (which... is basically what I wear all winter long!!)
I got a story to tell...normally when Sam and I leave we put Mogley in his crate for obvious reasons. Well yesterday I decided to leave him out when I went to work. I was only working a couple hours so I figured he'd be okay on his own. (little did I know!!!) I took him for a walk in the morning to make sure he didn't have to go potty or anything. WELL........I got home from work and as soon as I walked in the door he greeted me as he always does but then he got a very guilty look on his face so I knew he did something. Uh oh! come to find out....he had shredded the top of our leather couch...all we can figure is he was trying to get to the mailman cause it was right next to our mail slot. Oooh I was soooo mad!!!! Then to top it off...he pooped ELEVEN poops on my living room floor!!! Poor Sam...I was quite upset and after a bad day at work I did not need that!! I called Sam crying!! (what an emotional mess!!!lol) So needless to say...Mogley will continue to be in his crate when we leave. He failed the test!! Boy oh boy!!! Good thing he's so cute!! I'm telling you!! We could not stay mad for long!! Grrr!!!
Alright. I'm gonna sign off but I just wanted to say hi! Hope everyone is doing well!!!

Only in Buffalo!!!
I'm telling you!! Yesterday...we had 60 degree weather. Today....35 degrees. Snow, rain, wind. Ahhhh!! Nothing like a little variety!! They said on the news last night...if you don't like the weather in Buffalo....just wait 10 minutes!! It's kind of funny but annoying at the same time!! Not complaining cause I'll take this over tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc ANYDAY!!! But just wanted to whine for a minute!!!
Also...wanted to wish everyone I love a happy Valentines day...especially to my sweet husband, Sam!! Last month was 8 years since we met. I still remember the first time I saw him in church I was hoping that he was not engaged or dating anyone cause I knew that this was someone I wanted to get to know much better!!! And I'm glad I did cause he is wonderful!! :)
When we were growing up my parents always had a tradition they did for us on Valentines Day. It was always a heart cut out of construction paper with a really really really nice note on it. My parents rotated years. One year dad wrote the note and the next year mom did. Then they always bought us a huge chocolate heart and left the note and chocolate on our table at breakfast!! That is a memory I will never ever forget. It meant the world to us back then and I think of it every Valentines day and miss that!! That is a tradition I have carried on. Even though we have no children...I do that with Sam. And if God ever blesses us with children I will carry that tradition on with them as well. Thank you for that memory, Mom & Dad! Happy Valentines Day to you both!! We love you!

Heeeeellllllooooooo!!!!!
Wow! I have not been on here in a while!! We have been so busy with this move! I know I like to move and I did it to myself but NEVER AGAIN!!!!! That was the hardest move we've ever had to do!! It was soooo much work!! We had to prime and paint the whole house because the people before us were heavy smokers. That took a loooooong time!! Ahhh!! But it's done and we are in and loving our new house! Mogley is adjusting nicely and loving all the dogs on the street! We are surrounded by dogs!!! So it's great for him!
Let's see....I'm getting internet next Friday!! Woohoo!!! Cannot wait!! I've been without it for a while now and I miss it!!! :) So I'm looking forward to getting that back as well!!
Well that's about it for now. I'll write more once I get internet!!! Hope everyone is staying warm!!!! It was -6 this morning!! Unbelievable!! I must be getting old cause I have always loved winter and this year for the first time I hate the snow and cold!!! Saturday is supposed to get up to 46!!! Hooray!!!! :) Take care everyone and I'll be back next Friday!! (Not a threat...just a warning!!!)

I had a blessing today!
I just wanted to share cause it was a big deal to me!! I am normally very very good at keeping up on our checkbook...I update it and check it almost every day. Well I've been busy then I was sick, now my back is messed up so I just haven't been able to do it. Well today I worked on it and found out that we have $200 more than we thought we had (and I'm still not done checking :)) So far I found a total of 4 things that totalled $200 that I accidentally wrote in twice!!! Yay!! :) So I just wanted to share my extra special blessing!!
Soon we will be in our "new" house!! Yay!! We will be getting the key in the next week or so to start painting then we are in!!! Can't wait!! There have been so many blessings with this move already. The current tenants are leaving the washer & dryer for us which saved us a ton of money and we found GREAT deals on our stove and fridge!!! It's been very exciting!!! Just wanted to update you a little. :)

Guess what we are doing? ..........AGAIN!!!!!
Lol!! Yup!! The gypsies are on the move!! You'd think we'd be sick of it but hey...that's the joy of renting!! lol!!
Before we get made fun of too much...let me tell the story!!! :) As of right now...we are renting a tiny 1 bedroom apartment. Works for us. It was cheap and at that point in our lives it was a definite answer to prayer...however, we need to get out of there for several reasons. 1) It's tiny. 2) the walls are paper thin. We can actually hear our neighbor sneeze and their actual conversations...word for word (which means they can hear us too!!) 3) I apologize in advance cause this is mean but this is the worse landlord we have ever had (won't go into detail) 4) the walls are paper thin (oh. did I already mention that!!!?? lol) 5) it's getting bad behind our apt building. Someone tried to break into Sam's truck the one night. And we have seen drug deals and people doing drugs outside our bedroom window and 6) the walls are paper thin. Yeah.
So anyway....we have been praying as to what to do. We didn't really want to leave the village cause we are both in the fire company and want to be close. Plus most of my family lives in the village, our church is close by and I work in the village. There was a house we really wanted but it wasn't in the village and it was a little more than we were wanting to pay. It was doable but a little more than we felt comfortable paying but we loved it. So we put in the application and just prayed about it and told God that we wanted what He wanted. We asked Him to show us CLEARLY what His will is. Well last Friday while I was at work a lady in the woman's auxiliary (part of the fire co) came into my store and told me that Sam had mentioned to her that we were looking for a house and if she knew of one to let him know. Unbeknownst (did I spell that right? I was trying to look smart but didn't work!!!) to us her and her husband own a house that they've been renting out to the same people for 8 years. The people just told them on Christmas that they bought a house. This lady and her husband immediately thought of Sam and I and wanted us to be in the house. She said her phone was ringing off the hook of fireman wanting the house but her and her husband wanted us. So we thought that was all God. I mean....seriously...how often does someone walk up to you and ask you if you'd like to rent their house? It's in the village which is what we wanted...the price is amazing, it's 2 bedroom (perfect for us) has a front porch (which we love) a HUGE HUGE backyard for Mogley to run around. It needs work (boy does it need work) but we are really really excited about it because we know without a doubt that this was God. To us it was an extra special hug from Him!! The landlord told us to paint however we want and they will pay for all the supplies. They said to treat it as our own and do whatever we want and just give them receipts and they will reimburse us. So we are just thrilled!! Finally....some privacy!! We are so very excited and wanted to share with you!
Oh yeah...one more thing about the house. This is silly but a big deal to me. I've always loved the mailboxes that are just a slot in the door so your mail goes right in your house....and this house has one! It's just amazing to me how God gave us our desires right down to the little tiniest details!!
Pictures to come!
