Hydrogen Peroxide, a bobby pin, and eye drops

I married a doctor!! Well really I married a business major, but he might as well be a doctor. Let me explain; Saturday night 10:00pm. Brad has his head stuck in the ceiling (he literally had his head stuck in the ceiling)

He was doing some handy work around the house and got his head stuck. I of course just had to photograph that moment. Anyway, Brad is stuck and I'm in the living room watching a show. All of a sudden I hear "oh sh**" from Brad, I didn't pay much attention until he says, "we might want to take our dog to the vet" then I come running into the kitchen to find out what happened. He is holding a blue block of something that I thought was a foot pumice. Apparently everyone but me knows that the blue block was rat poison. We have NO idea where that came from. We have lived in our house for over a year and neither one of us had seen it before. I guess Brad caught Zeus with it! I of course started to panic, so we grab our pup and jump in the car and head to a family friend who used to be a vet. He and Brad looked over the block and determined that Zeus ate the tiniest amount if he even ate any at all, but thought it would be best to make him throw it up. So they gave him some hydrogen peroxide and we waited for him to puke...and we waited...and waited. I'm sure we only waited about 7 minutes, but it felt like a lifetime! They sent us home and told us to try again.

We sped to the grocery store and got some more hydrogen peroxide and tried to find a syringe because as you can imagine, our dog would not willingly drink that stuff. Well the grocery store didn't have a syringe so Brad found eye drops. he squirted out all the eye drops and used my bobby pin to make the opening bigger and there in the parking lot of Rite aid he sat on the ground, held open Zeus's mouth (keep in mind that our dog is yelping and whining so loud, people probably thought we were beating him) and squirted hydrogen peroxide down his throat. I was so proud of my husband! He literally saved our dog's life! I was completely useless...I was just a mess of tears. We got in the car and I held Zeus and we just waited for him to throw up. We had an empty container in the back of our car so I held that in front of his mouth and hoped he would aim his throw up into it. Lucky for me he did! :) He threw up and he was completely fine after that. He was jumping around and eating like nothing ever happened. It was quite a way to end our saturday night.
*if this ever happens to anyone else, apparently the antidote for rat poison is vitamin k

Valentine's Day

This Valentine's day was pretty low key, but it was perfect. Brad had class late on Tuesday and I needed to study for a test, so we celebrated on the 18th instead. We went to a basketball game, ate dinner at Blue Lemon, walked around downtown, did some shopping. It was great to finally get to spend some daylight together. Cute Brad surprised me on with flowers in my car that I found after a long day of work, and my favorite treat...chocolate covered strawberries. He knows me too well. He also got me a new purse! I desperately needed one. And I got him a daypack for rock climbing, which he is very anxious to get out and do! Summer please hurry!

We have had an exciting start to 2012. We made a goal for January that we could only buy food and gas for the whole month. We each got $3.50 to spend a week for date night or random stuff. It was a pretty fun challenge. I liked having to be creative with our date nights and I liked the way our bank account looked at the end of January :) some of our dates were just homemade dinner and a redbox, which was perfect! I think we'll try that challenge again when the weather is better.

Zeus!
We just love that little guy! He is so much fun to have around, and he has actually gotten trained pretty quick. He is the best at fetch and loves to cuddle with you in the blankets. I take him everywhere with me. I love having a little buddy to run errands and to play with me when I'm home alone. :) Brad will tell you he doesn't love him, but this picture says otherwise...

In January Buffalo Wild Wings opened their first restaurant in Utah. Brad was beyond excited!! We of course had to go the during the first month they were open, so we hopped in the car with some friends and drove to Lehi to enjoy delicious food! There was a Jazz game on which made it even more exciting!

He is one happy boy

For Christmas Brad got me tickets to go see Brad Paisley in concert!! January 27 was the big day! I was so giddy and excited the entire day! Scotty McCreery and The Band Perry were the opening acts and I have to say it was the best concert I have ever been to! Brad played for 2 hours straight! That man sure knows how to put on a show! And he is so funny, he was cracking jokes all night, and my brad was even laughing at them. It was one of the best dates I have been on and I'm so happy Brad came with me!

Our boots!

Brad Paisley!...I'm pretty sure he was serenading me right then. :)

The Band Perry!

Scotty McCreery!
