Cocoa's First PhotoShoot

Here is a pic from Cocoa's first photoshoot with my sister who is a photographer, I think this picture is adorable. I can't wait to get her this weekend when my parents come. This picture came about because the puppy started lying in my mothers antique bowl on the bottom shelf of the Island in the kitchen.... fearing the safety of the bowl my mother removed the bowl, now Cocoa lies on the shelf and takes naps while mom is cooking. My parents have her soooo spoiled. I think the pic would look nice in the kitchen.. lol.

Almost There!!!!

So In less than a week the house will be finished, we met with the builder today and went throught the house. It was so nice to finally see the inside, we haven't been inside since the frame and everything was roughed in. Everything was to our liking, we are now excited again to be moving into our new house. The builder says he should be able to turn the house over to us on Tuesday end of the day, I'm so excited to finally have the house. 1 more week and Cocoa will finally be here along with my parents. Well that's all for now, lots of packing ... actually way too much packing. I can't belive we are almost there!!!!!!

Delays, Delays, Delays.......

So, our house is not going to be completed on time as previous quoted by the builder.. we definatly will not be in the house on Friday the 24th as planned. The new date is Nov 30th.... which has put us in a kaotic and frustrating position. My parents were coming on Sat the 25th with the new puppy, both Chris and I had our vacation booked, and we had so many companies delivering to the house it's not funny. I'm pretty upset and pissed at the same time. I guess I shouldn't of been so nieve, but our builder never gave us any indication that he needed more time until friday. We now have the Crisis diverted, we have changed my parents flights, which means one more week without Cocoa. Tomorrow morning I'll sleep after backshift.. then change all the dates tomorrow with EVERYONE!!!! Then I have to go and beg my manager to change my vacation AGAIN.... Oh, well I guess when we are finally in this all will be a distant memory of the past. Things will work out and we will be on our way to Christmas. Wish us luck!!!

Christmas is coming!!!

Before you know it Christmas will be here, last night was the Holiday Christmas Parade of Lights, we weren't really ready in time to go down cause I wasn't feeling well after backshift yesterday morning, so I slept all afternoon... and had a late supper/breakfast. But hearing the music and watching the parade from the balcony still got me in the Christmas mood. Here is a slideshow that the Herald put on their site for people to see. Check it out.

Tired

So it's almost time for me to go home.. thank god, I can't wait to go to sleep in my own bed. Last night was the start of my 7 backshifts in a row.... and a 11 day stretch I'm starting with no days off in between. But when it's all over... I'll be on vacation and in my house with our new puppy. I'm so excited I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!! Here are a few new pics of Cocoa, she's soooooo adorable. My Parents got her yesterday, the 2 week stretch is here... the countdown starts :)

Happy Birthday To ME

So today is my Birthday!!!! I'm 26 :) It's been a good weekend, last night Chris and I went to his aunt's house in Dartmouth and had dinner, cake and a PARTY. Lots of wine and Beer. This morning I slept in and Chris got up early.. he went out and got strawberries, blackberries and flowers to go with the breakfast he cooked for me. Breakfast consisted of Bacon, pancakes, lots of fresh berries and coffee.. it was awesome. Oh, and the flowers were a big bouquet of orange lilies. It was a very nice day. I've added a few pics including my baby b-day cake we got today, I was craving cup-cakes with butter cream icing, so the closet we could find was a baby b-day cake with butter cream icing. YUM. Hope everyone is having a great long weekend :) I sure am.

No more Fish

So, it's official my fish are now gone. I spent my day off on monday taking the tank apart and cleaning it out. Wasn't that fun, the big fish were hard to catch.... very fast. Anyway, it's all done now and they are living in their new house @ Patrick's. It will be one last thing I'll have to take care of when we finally move into the new house... I'm betting the dog will be enough for me to handle. Anyone with kids right now is defintly laughing at me.. lol. :) I'll miss the little creatures and my planted tank, but not the weekly water changes.

Halloween

Here is a pic of Storm @ Halloween... it's one of our Friends dog's. I think he looks pretty cute!!!!!

Just Packing & Relaxing

The only thing I did this weekend that was exciting was pack... lol. We started packing up boxes of stuff in the apartment, the time to the house closing is getting closer then we think. They are painting this week, so as far as we know things are on schedule. The fish tank is being taken apart tomorrow and the plants and fish are going to their new home at Patrick's.. since I'm off tomorrow and should probably take advantage of the day for packing and getting ready for the move. Will have more updated pictures of Cocoa soon. My parents get her on the 13th of Nov and then she will be here with Chris and I in our new house on the 25th. We are very excited and can't wait for everything to be over with. Tonight is the Patriots vs. Colts game... should be very interesting... go Patriots. Hope everyone had a good weekend it was cold out but nice.
