Wedding Week!

By the next post, I will be Mrs. Kelly Murray. I can't believe it! This wedding has been in the making for the past year, and it's finally here! Tuesday we leave for Mexico, we'll get hitched on the 13th, then we'll honeymoon, then I'll be a married woman!

Can't wait to become a Murray!!!

One month!!

What a great time of the year! In exactly one month, I marry my very best friend! I can't wait! We're going to have such a great time in Mexico and on our honeymoon! I will definitely post pictures!

You know, I've done lots of reflection during the past few weeks and although I always knew that God had my plan all figured out, now I can really see now that this was what he had planned for US since before we were born. I am so blessed, simple as that. Think of all the adventures that lie ahead!!! Bring 'em on! :)

While we prepare, please pray for us to have safe travels, an awesome wedding, but mostly for a long and happy marriage!

Love you guys!

Herbie's 4th Birthday

My pretty kitty cat turned 4 on May 1 and although he didn't get to have a party because of bad behavior (he pees in our duffel bags when they're left open), he still got a lot of extra lovin' on his big day. Here's a picture of the fluffy guy.

Dakota Days

This is Dakota, Trudy's best friend. She's a beautiful Catahoula Leopard Dog, and she belongs to our friends, Mo and Adam... fellow Skiatookians. Trudy and Dakota are about the same age, so they puppy around all over the place. (Yes, in our house, "puppy" is very much a verb.) They're so much fun! Adam will bring Dakota over before work on nice days and leave her in Trudy's outside pen. They puppy all day, and by the time we get home, Crazy Dog Bitey Pants Trudy turns into Nice Puppy Cuddly Trudy and we get a glimpse into the world of what it's like to own a grown-up bassett hound (so I hear).

It is so nice to have friends that live so close... makes puppy day care so much less expensive!! :) Now all we need is a little sunshine to dry out that puppy pen so Dakota can come puppy some more over at Trudy's place. Man, we miss the sun... :)

Puppy Uppy-dates

Since I last posted, Trudy has grown quite a bit! This pic was taken a month ago.

She loves the sand pile ... especially when the sand slides down in the spots where she's stepped... she eats it. Gross.

She's conquered going UP stairs... now coming down, that's a different ballgame. She either cries or falls asleep at the top.

She's gotten stuck in a pair of panties. (Who hasn't?)

She loves the snow (proven in the Blizzard of April 2009 storm).

...and she made a new friend next door.

It's been a big month!! :)

Now I ain't sayin she's a gold digger...

... get down girl, go 'head get down...

That's $240 if you can't tell. Maybe she needs a tummy tuck or face lift from all the skin sagging...

Herbie Cat

I write about Trudy a lot. Here's a tribute to my #1 boy cat ever. His name is Herbie Cat. He's orange and fluffy. I love him and I think Carl does too, but is too manly to admit he loves a cat. He's cool most of the time, except at 5:30am when he knocks on the bedroom door to come in. Darn Herbie Cat.

Meeeee-yowwww.
