My Weekend Buddy

This is the guy I get to hang out with all weekend! A golden retriever named Patton.

Isn't he gorgeous?

He's a good boy too and knows many commands.

Tomorrow we're going to the dog park- the big dog area!

Roxy gets to stay at Grandma's since she hardly cares for other dogs..I miss her already!

have a great weekend!

Fill in the blank Friday!

It's Friday. I'm at work and should be working, but instead I'm going to link up with the little things we do for the first time! Thanks Kaley and Mandee!

1.   I am  a wife, an aunt, a sister, a daughter, and hopeful.

2.  I wish  the work day were over with already!

3.  I like  Sunday football get-tog ethers, & seeing my nephews & niece(s) in Halloween costumes!

4.  I can not hardly wait until Monday- to meet  my new niece!

5.  I hope  the big golden retriever at my house is being good!

6.  I think   I'm getting old.

7.  I was  eating KFC for lunch, which I haven't had in years. And now I feel disgusting, shoulda  packed a lunch!

Als0- I am selling my Sony HX1 for a good deal.  It takes great pictures, but I have my eye on another.  It's just two months old and will come with a 8gb memory card and bag.  It has taken all my pictures on here since September 1st. If you're interested leave a comment or e-mail jeskapug@hotmail.com 

Our Home!

A before and after of the outside of our home! 

This was taken in October 2007.

And below is October 2010!

New: door, roof, siding, and shutters. 

I don't know if others can tell a big difference or if it's just me knowing that in real life view it looks 20x better but I'm really loving it! I want to tackle those concrete steps and iron railing this Spring with a fresh coat of paint! Oh, and a new light fixture!


It's been three years since we bought our first home, three years since we became 'homeowners'! I'm proud of how far we have come and how much we have achieved. I'm so thankful and happy when I come home everyday to comfort. It may not be a big house or a new house, but it's everything we need. At least for now :)
