5 Years!
Today (June 26th, 2009) marked me and my wife’s 5th anniversary. It is amazing that we have been together now for that long. I can certainly say that it has not been easy; there have been many fights along the way. Almost always over the silliest things, yet our love for one another has grown stronger because of it. I’ve looked back over how we met and where we came from and it just amazes me. I’m so very lucky to have such a beautiful, loving wife. I can say that I have been truly blessed.

Sorta same old...
We now have a white kitten and his name is Sabastion. Soon he will be fully vaccinated and neutered. I got into an argument the other day with someone over the kitten. People try and say that declawing a cat/kitten is inhumane and to some extent I could agree. But, how in the blue blazes can you say declawing is inhumane and spaying/neutering isn't?! I mean, come on, if I had to have a choice between the two... Remove those nails baby, long as I still have my satisfaction. ANYWAYS...
We also obtained a King size bed and have placed it in my office for future guests. My office was rearranged (again) to accomodate the new item. Now we just need to find a nice yet cheap bookcase for all the books I'm about to acquire or have acquired. Money has been pretty tight (as usual) budgeting seems to be working to an extent. There are things I would love to buy, however, I know I need to be saving for the unexpected. Money from college will be coming in a couple of months so that will help. I'm currently owing 8 or 9 thousand currently in student loans (yay?). I imagine when all is done it'll be 30 to 40 thousand... >.< *sighs* Oh well at least then I'll be in a profession working my keep and doing something I enjoy. I'm rather excited for this semester, my current classes are guitar, piano, Biology, and Nutrition.
I have heard that dealing with music can help the concentration level of a student. I can only hope.

Learn something new...
Today was pretty eventful, for me at least. I was woken up around 10ish to take the kids and wife out to the dollar store for craft stuff, then we went to Burger King. However, by the time we got there the kids had passed out. So... we opted for the drive through, I got a steakburger (it was meh...) the wife got her usual. We took the kids home and put them to their respective beds.
We settled down and played a little world of warcraft while the house was quiet. It wasn't long before we both noticed there had been no sign of the new kitty. After an extensive search of the house (probably 15 to 20 minutes of searching), we found him curled up sleeping under Kayley's bed. He's not too much for being woke up either. I got out one of his new toys we got him (a fish with streamers on a stick) and proceeded to play with him. After two minutes he had managed to snap the rod out of my hand, I say snapped as in the rod broke in half because of the tension of him refusing to let go. He still enjoys it regardless, however I have plans to attach it to a fan somewhere and let him chase it like that. (^.^)
I got a nice hour long nap before work. Though right now as I write this I wish I had more sleep. The bed seemed extra comfy today. Work is pretty much work at the moment.
On a side note, Kayley seems to be throwing more tantrums than usual.

New Addition
Today (Yesterday) was pretty horrific. I was woken up too early to answer the phone for “unknown caller”. I was my usually grouchy self especially when I got to the phone and no one was on the other line. *grumble* I could not for the life of me get back to sleep. So I stumbled sleepily to my office to take care of the dailies. Read comics (check), look up information for the upcoming school year (check), see how much money is in the accounts (check), bills need to be paid? (yes), argh I don’t wanna… (paid bills, check). I logged onto World of Warcraft for a little bit, did my thing there.
I don’t remember exactly how it happened (lack of sleep, remember?). But, I got to looking at cats. Oh yeah that’s right, Jenny was asking about getting a kitten from someone (ugh, kittens). I ended up looking here at LA Paw and found they offered adoption which includes spay/neuter plus up to date vaccinations. And who can argue with that?
Anyways to make a long story short, we got a cute, fluffy kitten (unnamed at the moment). It is all white except for his pink ears and small tuft of grey on his head. His eyes are a mix of blue and green. I picked him out and Kayley really liked him as well. He’ll have to grow on the wifey because she picked out a black one with grey stripes (we didn’t get, yet). Trying to remember when I get off this morning to pick up a new litter box and new litter. Enjoy!

Welcome to our Nest
My wife asked me why I didn't have a personal blog to update so she could keep up with what I was thinking. So here it is woman! Are you happy now?! Hehe, that'll get me a slap on the head. Anyways, welcome, I'll try to keep a somewhat daily routine going here. Keep my folks, my little tiny (I joke) baby sisters, and anyone else interested in what I say or have to say involved.
