April Fools

In honor of April Fools I just had to play a joke on Brad. I couldn't think of anything that would top last year (the fake pregnancy test) but I still wanted to do something...so I decided that I would throw flour on him while he was in the shower! I was laughing hysterically, and Brad just rolled his eyes haha. I'm just waiting for him to get me back, and when he does it will be 10 times worse! But for now I'm enjoying my victory. Leah +1, Brad 0.

Opinions needed

For those of you that don't know, these are jelly shoes. I wore them all the time as a kid and loved them! I recently saw a pair for adults and thought to myself I need a pair of those! I was so excited to tell Brad about my amazing find, only to discover that he thinks they are ugly! So now I don't know if I like them because they really are cute, or if I only like them because they bring back happy childhood memories. So I need to know, would you wear a pair of these? Are they cute? Opinions please :)

Shout Out

This post is for my sweet sister Melinda. Yesterday Brad and I both had a busy day and neither of us were going to be home for 8 hours straight, and poor zeus needed to be let out of his kennel to eat and play and go to the bathroom. So I asked Melinda if she could take some time out of her day (her day off) to go over to my house and rescue our puppy. She said she would, and the last thing I told her before I got off the phone was, "don't mind our messy house." It's true, our house was a disaster! We had piles and piles of laundry, clean and dirty, and we have projects going on so we have tools and crafts everywhere, and of course school bags and notebooks and text books all over the place. When I got home that night I walked into our living room and my sister had folded all of our laundry!! It was like 3 loads worth of clothes! It was the best surprise ever and really helped us out. So I just wanted to let her know how grateful we are :) Thanks Melinda, you are the best and we love you!

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!
