New Puppy

Last week we were getting ready to go out to dinner when a tragedy struck, my mom was pulling out of the drive way when my dog Biscuit decided she wanted to go with her. Well Biscuit overshot her mark a little I suppose and she ended up under the back tire of my moms car, it was a very sad time at our house. My mom felt especially horrible since she was the one who ran her over, quite a few tears were shed from all of us I believe. My dad felt as though my mom was needing a replacement for Biscuit (even though she was my dog) and our other dog Sheba was just lost without her friend, so the search began. My dad called the people we got Biscuit from to see if they had any puppies and they had sold their last one, but he finally found some. This is what my parents ended up getting on Thursday evening. She is a Female but is yet to have a name.

Jet Lag

So I got into Daegu around 1:30am on march 4th, which would have been 10:30am on march 3rd back home. This was after leaving Bartlesville at 4am on march 2nd so I had been traveling for a good 30 hours with very minimal sleep. I would imagine between my 3 flights I got somewhere between 2 or maybe 3 hours of sleep total, if that much. So needless to say by the time I reached my final destination I was more than tired. I thought oh I'm going to sleep soooo good tonight and since it is time to sleep I really won't have much jet lag, well I was wrong. I did fall asleep quickly, but I slept for 2.5 hours and woke up thinking I had been asleep forever and I felt refreshed and ready to go. When I looked out the window and saw that it was still dark I decided it was not time to get up and with no clock near me I got out of bed and went and looked at a clock and discovered it was 4:45am. So I went back to sleep even though I really didn't feel tired at all. Then I woke up again, this time it was brighter outside and knowing we had to be somewhere at 9 I just knew it had to be time to get out of bed no it was only 6am so I still had another hour to sleep. Never has it been that I wake up before I had to, I mean I'm just not a morning person. Well I figured it was just my first night being in a different time zone and it would be better the second night, but no. For the first time in history I have woken up every day that I have been here before Dalene, before the alarm. Last night I slept for an entire 6 hours before I woke up, it was very exciting for me. I figure I will start sleeping normally when its about time to go home. I have traveled a lot and I don't think time changes have ever affected me this much, maybe being older has something to do with it I just don't know.

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go...

In less than 12 hours I will be heading to the airport (gotta love those 6:45am flights) after about 22 hours, 3 planes and LOTS of people watching! I will be landing in Seoul then followed by a 4.5 hour bus ride to Daegu I will finally be at my final destination. So Dalene get ready b/c I will be there soon! Lets just pray I don't get stuck anywhere for two days on my way, We don't need a repeat of last years journey to Suriname!

A weekend in Skiatook

A couple of weeks ago my sister calls and tells me she and her husband are going to Vegas for 4 days. I knew what that meant, it really meant you are watching the kids and the animals for 4 days. The girls and I have had a pretty good time while the parents have been gone. Thursday the girls had soccer and gymnastics so I got to run them to practice and chill in the car for an hour, it was exciting really. Then I came home and made dinner which I thought was a pretty boring meal; pasta, corn, and cheesy garlic bread. Apparently the girls thought it was amazing though they told me they didn't want me to leave, they want me to stay and cook for them. According to them I'm the best cook in the family other than my mom. Oh I also made brownies and they told me I make the best desserts... they were from a box. I guess it makes me feel good that the girls think I cook good haha. But our time is coming to an end Laurie and Evan get back home tonight and I will make my way back to Bartlesville, its fun for a short time, but I'm ready to go back to my own bed without children.
this is a couple of the "little" animals my sister has, this is only 2 of her 5 dogs and they don't get any smaller!

Super Bowl

A little late I know but better late than never right?

A few people came over for the super bowl and might I add I was disappointed with the commercials those have always been my favorite part but when watching them I really wasn't impressed for the most part, with the exception to the Doritos commerical it was pretty funny. So anyway Becca said Nikki where is your camera take pictures for you blog, so here they are.


Everyone is looking so excited... Kristina Obviously didn't want her picture taken


Becca and Trent were having a little too much fun with the camera, shows how much everyone was really paying attention to the game.





Over all it was an exciting Super Bowl party as you can see, but it was fun!

New Years Eve

This New Years Eve was unlike any New Years I have ever had, this year I was at my little cousin Waite's wedding (he is only 14 months younger than me, but way bigger). This is a picture of Waite and I dancing. It's weird to think he is married, he shouldn't be married yet he is younger than me! It seems like we were just the flower girl and ring bearer in a wedding, its crazy! But the fact is I'm getting old. All it all it was a good new years, fun times with the family!

It's been along time...

It's been along time since I have done a number of things...

*Posted on my blog (I'm going to work on this really)
*Cleaned my room (be prepared to see the progress in an upcoming blog!)
*Gone on a trip (I'm planning on going to see Dalene in March!)
*Worked (after my trip I will begin to really job hunt)
*Had people over (I'm thinking Super Bowl party)
*Seen some friends from college (I'm going to try harder to see them)

Well this isn't much but its something, I will be posting more often!
