Animal House

Well.. apparently the creatures of our neighbourhood enjoy my garden! This morning we were watching the news and Cara started towards the sliding door, with Nalla barking behind her. Sure enough there is our friendly squirrel hopping along the fences between our yards. This is not so unusual because one of our neighbours has a feeder for the little guys and they must run along our fence to get to her house. What was unusual is when he was hopping along with his newly acquired nut, he took a detour.. into my garden! The crafty little guy then began to dig a hole in which he could place his nut! While it was cute.. the hole just happened to be under one of my plants!!!! He didn't keep up too long because Nalla was getting pretty excited and startled him off. No worries though, he went back to our neighbour's to get another nut and carried it off somewhere beyond my garden.
He was really cute.. it's fun to watch the critters go about their routines.. I love where we live... I couldn't imagine living in a concrete jungle!
We are definately blessed :)

Funny.. this used to be my nickname!!!

NEW CAR!

Ugh.. feeling so drained and poopy this week... guess that's what happens when you feel not so hot then go into arrest and control. It's kind of nice b/c it was a short week, the days go quickly during arrest and control, and OMG! it's FRIDAY!
You know what is even cooler though? WE GOT A NEW CAR!!! It's a 2006 Accura RSX... it's HAWT!!! And yes.. it's a 2 door manual.. no worries though.. we still have the family CRV ;) No ring for Jen for a while.. I'll just be wearing my key chain for a bit.. Hehhee..
Anyhoo.. this is our new baby!

My Girls!!!

So we have been looking at cars... UGH! Such a hassle!! I feel so drained, and Ry feels even more drained than I do! We're quite the pair!
It's a toss up.. do we just get a 99/2000 Civic Coup/Sedan/Hatchback or do we spring for the new Civic?? There isn't THAT much difference in price.. so we'll see.
Anyhoo.. when I uploaded the froggy/kitty pictures there were a bunch of Nalla/Cara pics on the memory card.. so here you go!
I love my girls and I love my Ry soooooooo much :) (however all the pics we ever take are of Nalla and Cara.. but I'll try and find one of Ry ;))

*Side-note: I was trying to post captions for the photos but it wouldn't align properly.. so you'll be seeing Cara giving Nalla kisses, the Pudgy Puggy, Gymnast Cara-Kitten, Cuddle-Pug, My Girls, and the love of my life Ry :)

Cara's Adventure with Froggy

As promised.. here are the pics!
This is Cara-kitty and her friend Froggy.. soooo fun :) We have this super cute video of when he was hopping away, he kind of hopped into our fence.. regrouped and slid through. It was a fun way to start the morning. I think Cara was a bit bummed that she didn't get to chase the froggy *hehehehe*

What a rainy day!

Well today is one of the first days off TOGETHER that Ry and I have had in a loooooooooong time!
It's been pretty slow.. but it's nice. Our fun for this afternoon?? WEll so far it's been this...
I went to get a coffee and Ry was looking online for cars (because we are sooooooo sick of sharing one vehicle).. and all of a sudden Cara started chirping and jumped on top of her little pagoda thing to try and see out the blinds. She was really meowing so he decided to see what the fuss was about.. and there is a big froggy in our garden! He was sitting on the retaining wall for a while, now he's exploring the dirt! It's so cool!
Oooh! Froggy just hopped away :( But we got it on video!! I'll post pics in a bit!

Hidee-Ho!

Hola!!!

So things are good.. busy as always.. almost at the end of week 6!!! Holy crud batman! I can't believe how quickly this time has flown by. It will be nice to be settled and working and get a routine going... it will be tough at first since I haven't really done shift work like this before.. but at least I will be able to get into a routine and have my "real" life begin. I feel so growed up :) I passed my self defense section today.. WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO! I got 174/180... not too tough but ya.. I was pretty stoked because I had some problems to start with. Now we have 2 days of class, then back to arrest and control and baton.. ooh! I can't wait til handcuffs and batons ;)

Other than that, it's been freaking beautiful here! I LOOOOVE this weather! Wish I had the energy to enjoy it! hehehe.. but lastnight we had ball.. OMG! So warm.. we played with an auto out because we were short a person and we still won 17-7! I really like my ball team. They are late 20s early 30s for the most part, super fun, and have made me feel nothing but welcome from my first game!!!!

Anyhoo.. I really have to get a move on.. I'm beat and I have a ton of homework so it's time for a cat nap!

Talk at you guys soon!!!

Happy Mother's Day..
I miss you mom :)


On a side note.. I passed my part b assesment for Corrections.. so it's all pretty much down hill from here.. just a ton of studying for my final exam. Then I quit my job today!!!! WAHOOOOOOOOOO!!! No more retail! It was kind of anti-climactic.. there was hardly anyone working.. it was busy.. there was no one there to say goodbye really.. but it was a relief. Now I have time to study, time to spend with Ry.. it will be great :)

Anyhoo.. now I have to study and watch the final of Survivor. EeEeeeeeEEEEE!
