We have a new addition to the Family!!

Well Brittany wanted me to be the one to post this time so hopefully I do alright. Well as you can see we have a new addition to the family! Allow me to introduce Hurley, he is 8 weeks old and is a pure brindle boxer. He's kept us super busy and we both love him to death. So here are a couple of the pictures we've taken so far.



We had a good friend of mine from my mission to New Jersey. Al Thompson was in town for a few days for work ( a much needed breather form the pentagon ) and he was able to spare some time for Brittany and myself to show him the area. We had a great time and look forward to our next meeting.


Oh... and I have to make sure to point out that through my friends, I too have friends in high places! (Al's the one shaking hands with the President if you couldn't figure it out.)

Savannah's Baby Shower

So I feel like it's been forever since I blogged but maybe because a lot has happened! One of my best friends in the world is having a baby in just a couple of weeks and this past weekend Savannah's sister-in-law threw a baby shower for her and Nate. It was co-ed so Shawn got to come with! She is so adorable and I can't wait to meet their little baby Noah. They got tons of gifts...so I think the little guy is set for a while. This past week one of Shawn's mission friends from New Jersey was down in Elk Grove on business and we got together with him a couple of times while he was here (pictures to come!). A lot of other exciting things are coming up that we are really looking forward to including: The Rock Band live concert, a USC game and a trip to Utah. Some are further away then others but it will be nice to break things up a bit! School and work are still keeping me really busy and Shawn is working like crazy and getting ready to start an intensive anatomy class for paramedic school. Oh and one other exciting thing....we might be getting a dog. Yeah I know...add to the craziness right?

Hazmat Class

Shawn recently had to leave me for 3 weekends in a row to go and be certified as a Hazmat Tech.(i think thats what he is..??) anyhow I got a hold of some of the pictures and decided to put them on the blog. (he's the one in the yellow suite)
