my attention starved dog

Since everyone loves to update about thier children, I will update about my little boy, Bentley.

Bentley loves three things:
1. PEOPLE - bentley just loves people - he would do anything to be around people. He loves everyone. He won't leave me alone when i try to do something, if i go inside he wants to follow, while alex sits in the front bentley sits in the law chair right next to him, anything just to be with someone.

2. paper and rippingit to shreds. Newspapers, tissues, boxes, ANYTHING. He makes a MESS. It is annoying when he does this.

3. His third love probably stems from the 2nd one being the broom. He goes NUTS while I am sweeping his mess up or if he just finds the broom in the closest he goes nuts. Its crazy.

When i am typing on the bar stools at Alex's house bentley loves to come under my arm to get attention
oh here he comes
I love my baby boy even though he is naughty!



Of the subject, but Alex and I just got some AWESOME new bedding for our future guest bedroom, so anyone, if you want to visit us in iowa, we have room for you!!!!!! :) Its so pretty and hopefully comfortable ( Alex is going to test it out for me) !!

Whats going on?

Hello Everyone! I figured maybe I should update my blog, it has been a while.

Everything here has been going awesome! It is such an awesome feeling to not have to go back to school this fall. I do have to study for my licensing exam which is a pain, but I can do that when I want to. It is nice getting 40 + hour weeks to help with paying for things and it is also fun to see my residents more.

Wedding plans are going well. A lot of things are coming together and that makes me really happy. I just have to finalize thing when I go back in Sept. with Alex. It will be fun to take Alex around my home town, have him meet the rest of my family and my little nephews. Its kind of pathetic this is his first time coming with me in the year and a half we have dated. oh well, he is a busy man. But he promised me a yearly visit home, with him in tow. I will keep him up to that promise ;) It seems like the wedding cant come soon enough when I think of being married to Alex, however when it comes to the wedding planning and getting things finalized the wedding is coming around WAY to fast. :)

I went home in July and that was a lot of fun. I saw one of my best friend, Laura get married, and got to go home with some friend and see my family. My little stubborn nephew, Liam decided to come the day after I left. I can't wait to see him, however that will have to wait a month :) He is pretty cute !

What else is new............

Bentley boy is growing like crazy. He is now 37 lb and is as crazy as ever. Alex and I look him on a two hour walk yesterday and he still had the energy to walk for two more hours.

I did my first womens water fight with the firemen. It was fun, I lost!


Love you all!

Here is a picture of my baby making Diane feel better :)
