April Showers Bring ...
Hello All!
Today started with a drive to Noblesville to drop Miller off to be neutered. I actually cried a little just because he is so small and so young, but I am sure right now he is in a medicated coma - counting milkbones and chasing bunnies!
This weekend's event (Bingo Birthday Bash) was quite a success and tons of fun. We raised approximately $8,000 total for this event and it's going straight to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. We are extremely proud of our hard work and were surprised at the turn-out based on the current economy. Thank you to all my friends and family that attended! Most of you even won!!! Congrats!!! And thanks to my friendswho donated items for the bingo prizes - Tony (Jillians) and Jim & Debbie (Meyer Photography).
Still working part-time but have set a goal to have a full-time job by the end of May. Please direct any ideas or openings my way - I appreciate it (and so would my bank account)! Hope you are all doing well! Life is hard, but oh so good!

Times like these....
So I am sitting here learning how to use even more technology that is going to take up even more of my time. I am now on Twitter and it seems pretty cool, just a fun and quick way to see what everyone is up to - both friends and celebrities { of course Dave Matthews and Obama were my first two people to follow }.
Anyways, just like they say "when you bring something in a room, you take something out to avoid clutter". So goodbye Myspace - I have been with you since late 2005 and I find you boring and a little time consuming to update.
So on to new a better things....catch me on Twitter (Mike's on there too.)

Man, we aren't very good at this...
Well, it's been over a month and Mike and I haven't given you any updates. I am sure you were just losing sleep over it.... here we go.
After being laid off in early December, I just got a new job as a Graphic Designer. I start this week and I am very excited to get back out there and get my mind going again. Don't get me wrong, I loved being a stay-at-home puppy mom and house wife, but I can't do that forever. Unemployment was good to me so we were able to still live a normal life, we just cut back on eating out all the time and some other little things.
Mike was so supportive through it all - at one point I thought about going back to school if I didn't find something by the end of February, but I got lucky and found the job I have been wanting for years. The world works in mysterious ways! Thank you to all my friends and family for your support through that time.
The holidays were great and we were able to enjoy a lot of time with our friends and family. With Mike being off during the Lilly shut down, he was around a lot too. We got an Nintendo Wii from my mom and we have spend many, many countless hours becoming "Rockstars" on Rockband 2. We love it!
Miller graduated from puppy class last Wednesday! He is something else. A fireball - like his mother. He is teething now so we had to pull all of our electrical cords up off the floor as he was chewing his way through all them. Luckily, he wasn't electrocuted and everything could be spliced back together. :)
We had some great pictures taken by our friend Chris Cheever of the boys on Saturday. He did an amazing job and Max and Miller were pros (besides Miller wanting to pee on everything). Sorry, Chris!
I always told myself I wouldn't be one of those people who dresses their dogs up in clothes and took their pictures, but without those dogs, my life would not be the same. What would I have done if I didn't have them and I would have sit at home alone while I was laid off? We love coming home to them and we love spending time with them. There is nothing quite like the love of a dog and you don't even have to bribe or beg them to hang out with you!
