A Boy and his Doog.... nuff said

Close a door, open a window?

I don't really like that quote. I would rather have a big huge door open for me then a little window. However, being in a positive mindset means appreciating anything you DO have!

I just did the math and there is NO way that I can afford sending myself and Scott... or even just myself... to Zach's graduation from Basic Training in Nov. The cost of flights and hotels and food is just unbelievable. I should have thought more about it before talking with Zach. For me, I figured it wasn't going to be easy, or even an option. But for him, I know he is set on it in his head. Now I have to disappoint him that he will most likely be alone for his graduation ceremony.

The ONLY upside to this is that Christmas Exodus is a month after graduation so he will be able to come home for a couple weeks so at least I get to see my husband once during his leave. Some wives don't even get that.

....... is an AMAZING park that I just found out about. It is located in Griffith Park by the Merry-Go-Round and Golf Course. Shane passed away two weeks after his birth. He would have been in a wheelchair for his entire life. His parents realized that had their son live, he would not have any park to play in like other children. So, they did an amazing thing.... they started making parks which can cater to both handi-cap and non handi-cap children so that they can play together. Shane's Inspiration Park is one of many parks of it's kind now.

   This is a gorgeous and HUGE park. We enjoyed it very much and definatly will go back!

New sketches

No creative or funny title for this post.... straight to the point and self explanatory.... couple new sketches  :0)

Thank you Southwest...

Thanks to Southwest for calling my cell to tell me that Hubbin's flight was an hour late. I had just dropped him off when I got the call. I IMMEDIATLY freaked out and called Zach asking him if I could come back. I was so elated when he said to turn around and come get him. We drove down Imperial Hwy to the beach and walked through the sand... hand in hand. It was so unexpected and fun and romantic. Missing him very much, but I will see him again not even two months from his post. Let the countdown begin...... 

P.S. I have the sexiest husband alive!

LUB DA HUB!!!!!

I just love him sooooooo much!

Me and my boys... and Harley.... went on a hike in Griffith this morning. Scott and I had a blast showing Zach the old Zoo location with the old cages. We had such an amazing time!
