I inadvertantly left my dog, Bailey, outside this morning instead of quickly letting her back in after she did her 'business'. NormallyI let her outside and then I get into my daily routine of 'supposed beauty edification' and then let her back in within 15 minutes. I must have needed a little more time than normal today (that's what 3 miles of walking will do to you in the ungodly hours before 6:30!) and I completely forgot to let her back into the cool air conditioned house. My little princess got very upset with me. She refused to let me love on her and walked straight to her bed. When I attempted to kneel down beside her bed and pet on her and try talking to her...she turned her head to the wall and humphed!!!!! Boy can she hold a grudge. This picture tells the whole story. This is hours AFTER the incidental abandonment.

My family and I are jazzed at the very thought of the premier of "House" tonight on fox. We LOVE this show!!!! I swear, I think the only good thing about the start of the fall season is the new television shows returning after a long season of reruns!!!! It sounds like my family watches a lot of television. Honestly we don't. We are just very loyal to a few shows! I think one of the reasons why I love this show is that the lead character of "House" has a lot of qualities that are shared by my husband. (Ok, ok,...maybe just the good ones! Wink-Wink!)

Yesterday was a red letter day in my home. We are HUGE Supernatural (TV SHOW) fans. It was their premiere last night. We have been catching up with the previous seasons on DVD over the last week. It is an awesome show. My husband and son are totally into it. Of course, I like it too. Lots of funny lines and the eye candy is certainly worth tuning in. Take a look. Nice, huh?

Longing for more stolen moments....

I have been busy with a normal, typical, school day and all of the challenges it presents...I think longingly back to this summer when Tony and I were able to run away from home and capture a few 'blissful moments' together just the two of us. I want to steal a few more days on the beach with him. Just run away and hide from the world. I want that huge, fluffy, exceedingly luxurious bed and the incredible view right from the window beside it. I want to hear the ocean waves in the background as I feel the salty, wet air permeate through the room giving a soft gentle breeze. Is that a lot to ask?!?!?!?! For now, I think I will try to go and steal a few kisses from my sweet hubby and dream of those beautiful moments on the beach when worldy trouble couldn't touch us.

These are pictures from May when I was able to go to the temple with my family in Dallas. I love them so much. I am so blessed to have them not only be family members but to also have them as my friends.

The Orlando Temple

I went to the temple today! I love the freedom of getting in the car and within an hour and a half, I am there. I left with an incredible feeling of peace. Isn't that a wonderful gift? Sometimes this world can be so hard. There are so many things being thrown at you from all directions. It is comforting to go into the house of the Lord and feel our burdens be left at the door. To have respite from the afflictions of all worldliness for a few hours. I think back to when I was a young girl and temples were so far away. We would go as a youth group once a year to Arizona and it would take us a whole week! But it was worth it. We loved it and looked forward to it all year long. I laugh thinking about those times. Memories are running strong within me today. I have been thinking back to the last few months when I was able go with my family to the temple for the first time. Words fail to describe the sheer joy I felt being there with them. Isn't that what we will feel when we are all rejoined together as families once this life is through? Indescribable joy!
