update (if you want to call it that)

I would like to be writing with an update but frankly i don't have one. I have been trying to get answers for days now and the agent is not calling me back. They told us the country would like us to travel at the end of October but that has not happened. Sometimes the wait can be so hard. Everyday i check my emails at least 20 times just in case we get the call. I know the day will come and i have to be patient but those of you who really know me, knows i don't have the best patience for waiting. So there's my update, still nothing. Anyways for those of you who know are family we are losing more family members from this state of ours. My Aunt Mary and her family are moving to Florida at the end of the month. It really sucks that they have to move but we all have to do things to keep going. I have talked to uncle Todd last week they are doing good in the Dominican. Anyways i just wanted to post to let everyone know what is going on. keep looking i will eventually post some good news, only god knows when. Keep us in your thoughts.
Love Me

2008 Wine tasting weekend

This is the group that went with us
The girls (Brianne, Beckie, mom and Jenni)
The Boys (dad, Carl, Nate, Tony and Brian)
The bus ride up
The driver of the mini bus (also known as dad)

On October 3-5 we went on a wine tasting tour up in Traverse City. When I say we I mean there was 9 of us. We had wonderful time, the weather couldn't have been any better. We drove up in a short bus my parents bought, so much fun. Nate and Brianne, Carl and Jenny, Brian and I, my mom and dad and Tony all went. We stayed in a house on the lake that you can rent through the casino. All day Saturday we went to 9 different wineries and tasted some great wines and had a blast doing it. Afterwards we ate, did some gambling and then had a bonb fire to finish the night off, what more could you ask for.

We decided at the last minute to go up to Mackinaw to camp. Brian's parents and sisters family were all up there already. This was Caden's first time camping, he had fun. We went over to the Island on Saturday to visit with my parents who were over there on there boat. Caden enjoyed the boat ride over and loved the horses. Sunday we just hung out did a little shopping and got fudge. Monday we had the bridge walk so we had to get up early in which caden was not thrilled about. Caden did however walk the whole 5 miles. He did really well, we were very proud. We are hoping to go every year from now on. Brian and i went up there the first two years we were together then we ended up adopting Caden so things kinda got off track, but going back this year make me realize why i loved going and Caden can look forward to it every year.( hopefully next year he will have a sister to enjoy it with). Anyways i included some pictures. Talk to you soon.

And then there was three

In case some of you don't know Caden has guinea pigs, Moe and Stewart. We thought we had to males but as of yesterday we found out Moe is a female. Brian picked her up and she had a big belly and we could feel something moving around. Thanks to Google we realized she was pregnant. Well as of 5 am we now have 5 pigs. Wow what did we get ourselves into. They are cute and healthy and Caden is in love with them. We will keep you posted.
