Happy Anniversary Honey Bunny!

Today is our 8th anniversary! Woohoo!! I know 8 years isn't much but it's exciting to me! It has gone by sooooo fast! I'm so thankful for Sam. He is a wonderful husband and friend. He always puts my needs and wants above his own and lets just be honest here...he puts up with alot of mood swings! Poor guy! I'm excited to see what this next year brings for us.
On another note...my EMT class is going great!! I am loving it! It's alot harder and way more time consuming than I thought it would be but I don't care at all. It's an amazing class. I haven't been in quite a month yet and I still have SO much to learn but when I look back on what I knew 1 month ago compared to what I know now....it's so exciting!! I have great teachers so that really really helps too.
I think maybe Sam and I got food poisoning. Maybe. I'm not sure. But I came home from class tonight throwing up and feeling so weak and lousy and come to find out...Sam had come down with it while I was at class, too. Weird. That's what makes us think maybe it was the Chinese we ordered last night. :(
Anyway...just wanted to jump on here and update a bit. Hope everyone has a wonderful Fall. I love this time of year!!

Mogley Mogley Mogley!!

Okay this is not gonna sound as funny as it was but let me tell you....it was HILARIOUS!!!
I left work in the middle of the day to take Mogley out to go potty and stretch his little legs, etc. While I was home the UPS guy came and left a box on the porch. I did not open the door on purpose cause I didn't want Mogley biting him. (he's been known to do that!! lol) So I waited till he started driving away and opened the door. Well Mogley saw that as his chance to escape! He ran SO FAST towards the UPS truck which was, by now, down the street. He started running circles around the truck (while it was driving) Now for those of you who have never seen our dog, he is all of 13 pounds soaking wet so he's really small!! How he did not get run over....I'll never know! That in itself is a miracle!! I was running down the street frantically calling him but he was on a mission! When the UPS driver stopped, Mogley jumped in the truck with him and started kissing him!! Which...if you know Mogley that in itself would surprise you!! I thought I'd find him biting the poor guy!! lol! I really think he wanted to go for a ride...he LOVES rides! It was so stinkin funny!! I wish so much that I had a camcorder right then cause it was hilarious!!! I'm so glad he did not get run over. He must have thought he was in trouble because when I was carrying him home he was hanging onto me for dear life crying. I probably should have scolded him but I was laughing so hard I couldn't. So that was my excitement for the day!! So glad our little honey bunny is okay!! lol!!

Ahhh....I'm so happy that this is a long weekend!! It's been a tiring week!! But I started my EMT class on Wednesday night and it's going to be even better than I thought! I mean...I was excited before...but I'm even more excited now! We are each actually going to 2 different emergency rooms (all of us at seperate times) to get a little experience. I picked Suburban because it's close and ECMC because that will be a huge challenge for me and I want to prove to myself that I can do it. I'm working on the homework now, well RIGHT now I'm taking a break cause my brain was seriously starting to hurt. But it's great. On the homework it seems to be questions from all over the book so it's forcing me to flip back and forth and read everything so that's good. That's all reinforcement. This is going to be great!
Tomorrow we are going to Clarence Center Fire Hall as we do every year for Labor Day. It's always alot of fun and we see alot of people that we don't get to see much so I'm looking forward to that tomorrow. Then the rest of the weekend we are just going to relax!! Yay! We were supposed to go camping but we just changed our minds yesterday. I'm kind of relieved actually.
Let's see...what else...I guess that's all for now. Hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend!

Just updating my blog!

Nothing really new to report...just wanted to update everyone on how we are doing. Keeping busy busy busy. Sam's stomach has calmed down alot. He has been on Prilosec everyday which really seems to help and he cut out all pop. He has mainly been drinking only water and he's had no pain in a couple weeks. He's keeping very busy with work and the fire hall. Work for me is going alright. I'm getting switched back and forth from Clarence to Akron. I don't really mind. Change of scenery. Makes for more excitement I suppose!! Next Wednesday I start my EMT class!! I'm super super excited about it. I know it will be alot of work....alot of studying but it's something that I want to do so badly that I don't think it will be a burden. I'll be in class 2x a week till the end of January. But I'm really excited about it.
Mogley our little killer is doing great! He's got his days but don't we all!!?? He's such a little sweetheart. We are taking him camping with us Labor Day weekend if I can get off of work for it. Hopefully.... We'll see! Other than that...nothing else really going on but just wanted to say hi to everyone! :)

Allow me to brag on my hubby! :)

I am so proud of Sam for this. Saturday evening he went to fill my truck up with gas (which was so sweet of him...by the way!!! :) ) When he got back home....a car full of teenagers pulled in behind him. The driver got out and asked Sam for directions to Darien Lake. Sam said the driver was so drunk that he could hardly stand up. so Sam didn't really know what to do. So he gave him directions, then got in his truck and started following them. He called the cops and gave them the guys license plate number. At that time the cops told Sam to stop following him for his safety and that all the cops were in Corfu cause of the tornado so there wasn't much they could do. We were so mad about that. I mean this kid was clearly drunk and a danger to himself and others. About half an hour later Sam got a call from dispatch telling him that they had just arrested the driver and were taking him into custody. We were so glad and I am just so proud of my husband.

Avon

Well folks...I have joined the world of selling Avon. Let me rephrase that....I'm going to TRY and see how it goes! If I flop then at least I didn't lose anything...and if it works...it will give us some extra cash. I'm really excited about it. I have a website for it where you can actually just go on the website and order if you'd like and have the items shipped right to your house. No shipping fees. So if anyone is interested, the website is www.youravon.com/tvillafranca.

Ugh! How old am I really??? :0

Boy I must be getting old! I know 31 is not old but sometimes my body feels like it's 100 and today is one of those days! We had drill at the training tower last night. Live burn and that's always so much fun but it's also alot of work. I didn't even do much cause technically I'm not even in the class. I just go to watch so I know what to expect when I take the class but I lifted a couple bales of hay to put in the house to burn. I gotta tell you...I'm no farmer!! Those things were HEAVY!!! It was deceiving cause you think hay isn't heavy but holy cow! Heavy!! Then I planted myself by the door of the house so I could help them get the fire hose in or out...whatever they needed. I was sitting there and all of the sudden something scurried past my leg. I thought it was a chipmunk so I got all excited and thought he was so cute till I saw his tail...IT WAS A STINKIN RAT!!!! I thought I was gonna have a heart attack!! If I didn't have all my gear on (so I was totally protected from that horrible thing) I do think I would have passed out!! It was so gross!! Ugh!! Anyway...in spite of how my body feels today it was so much fun and a great experience! I'm really looking forward to taking that class as soon as my instructor teaches it again. He's the only one I'll take it with cause he is very very nice and patient and Lord knows that's what I need!!! :)
Tomorrow is the 4th of July. I love the 4th! So many festivities especially around Akron. We are a very small town but we definitely make the 4th of July a big deal! We celebrate for like 4 days. It's so fun! Tonight we have fireworks. Sam and I are taking either the firetruck or the ambulance for standby just in case anything goes wrong so we get front row seats!! I'm so excited!!!! :) Then tomorrow is the parade. Love parades! Love them!! Anyway...Happy 4th to everyone.
Oh! I almost forgot!!!! Today is one year since we got our little Mogley!!! What a wonderful dog he has been!! He's such a little joy! He definitely has his moments...like when he shredded our leather couch and shredded our leather seats in the back of my SUV, and when he bit our landlord in the knee and supposedly left fang marks!! :) He is a little sweetheart. Loves being with us. He has to be wherever we are. If we are cuddling on the couch he has to be right up on top of us between us. When we sleep he sleeps between us. He's so lovey dovey and we love it. So we are glad to have him!!
