Pet Sounds

Sammy and I really fell in love with each other when we found out that we are perfect running partners during our 'walk' yesterday. I think he had a good time, as did I! Ever since I was little, I have wanted, and ever since I've been running I've wanted one that's also a running buddy. Don't get me wrong, though- I'm still just pet-sitting Sammy, and yes, I've decided to let the family keep him. ;)

He was panting a ton when we got done with our work-out, and his tongue was so crazy and robotic (can you tell I only own cats?!), I had to capture this video:




And this little guy, Gray Boy, thinks knows he's the star of the house

He is a sweetie

But he tires of the photographic attention quickly. But never the butt rubs. No, never the butt rubs...

The cutest thing- the cats like to climb up the ladder and sleep in the little boy's Spiderman loft!

A little blurry- sorry

Ah! The elusive Little One! I can always find her in bed. We're kindred spirits, she and I. :)

New Digs

I'm pet-sitting once more, and these people have the coolest backyard:

So many flowers and paths and nooks and crannies

Looking left

Looking right

And a sweet goggie!!!

Sweet Sammy

He is SO big

And two cats- pictures to come!

Dancin' the Night Away

Instructing RightHand

The Happy Couple- we had a lot of fun together! (As always)

Now we're cookin'! This is my fave pic :)

It's electric!

Electric Slidin'


A rather boring video of the bride and bridesmaids doing the electric slide. At this point in the evening, people still weren't drunk rested enough to dance! Well, except that lady in the green pant suit which you see briefly- she was a nutter butter!

Yes, Mom, it's water!!

Cute from every angle :)

So happy we were leaving! Punk.

So, I figured the wedding photographer took enough pre-ceremony pictures for everyone in China to have one, so mine start post-ceremony, at the reception. And oh, by the way, Marlee is freakin' MARRIED! My first true blue friend to be married. I cried at the rehearsal and during the ceremony. I'm still processing this event. It meant so much to me to be included, though, and I had an absolute, albeit tiring, blast.

RightHand and I arrived at the gorgeous, Southern house

What a beautiful place for the reception!


Posing with the groom's cake, a replica of his racecar

Lucky me to be dating RightHand! Meow!

Why do I look scared of the cake? If anything, IT should fear ME! ;)

My superhero power? Devouring a wedding cake in a single bound bite!

Ah, there's the normal photo!

Telling my dad and stepmom about my latest catch. "I swear it was THIS big!". Not really.

A nice side shot of my funky hair- the stylist didn't listen to me at all!!

Good pic of me and my dad laughing

The father-daughter dance. Her dress was SOOO gorgeous, wish I had a better shot. Or one with me and the bride! Sheesh! Oh well, the photographer will reveal all, I'm sure.

Just had to put this one up because my dad looks like, well, I don't even know, and my mom's bug eye is hilarious. Love you, parents! :)

The scene

RightHand, Me, and my giant-looking arm

Me and my cute mama!

Good pic- thanks, RightHand!

Me and my dad

Mom had some crazy faces goin'- that's what she gets for talking through the picture!

Really Random

When my mom was here, I snagged her memory card and got some pics off of there that I didn't have yet. The result:

Liz and I trying to figure out the best way to commute to my work (Sorry for revealing a little too much leg!)

Before leaving for my first day of work

Such a mom thing to do- it felt like the first day of school! But I loved it. :)

Liz and Mom took Natalie on a walk at Moulton Falls during her first visit

Coming up to the bridge where Liz and I saw that D-bag about to jump

Great pic, Momma!

There is really no bad picture of the PacNor!

One of the beautiful roses from Liz's garden. All of her hard work really pays off!!

Every rose is breathtaking out there- and she keeps a fresh one in the vase by my bed! I'm so spoiled, but I know it and appreciate it.

And, extremely randomly, here's a gorgeous salad we had with dinner one night. Whatever Tom and Liz concoct is SO good every single night!

Kidding Around

Natalie being superwoman and me, getting a workout

Learning how to play London Bridge for the first time

Of course a boy would figure out how to make the game rough and physical

Strong mama

Wearing my running shoes. Boy, she's got some big shoes to fill! Haha! (I'll be here all night, folks!)
