Puppies!

I told you all in my last post, but Megara had her baby yorkies! When I went home last weekend I got to see them, and I picked out the puppy I am going to keep for myself. I just thought I would share a few cute pictures!

That's about it for now, I'll post again soon.

Pumpkins!

On Monday Kaitlin and I decided to get festive for Halloween and we carved some cool pumpkins.  Just thought I would share a couple of pictures:

Here are our pumpkins.  Kaitlin's is on the left, mine on the right.

This is Kait's evil pumpkin eating a baby pumpkin.  Isn't it cool?

This is my Jack Skellington pumpkin!

Me with my creation.

Kait carving away.

Well, that's it for the pumpkin pictures.  Kaitlin and I are headed to Bloomfield this weekend. We have an appointment in Iowa City on Friday for our wisdom teeth.  *ouch*  Were going home so mom can drive with us and to spend some time at home.  I'll post again soon!

Update-o-rama!

Well, I have quite a bit to update everybody on this time around.  This week is mid-term already!  It really feels like I just started the school year, but the semester has just flown by!  I have been very busy lately with papers, tests, and reading (as well as working for iptv).  

I have been doing a weekly radio show for the campus radio station, 94.1 The Dog.  I'm on Tuesdays from 5-6 this semester, but you can only get the station if you live in the Des Moines area.  It has been going pretty well, and I am having fun with it.

Speaking of radio, I decided to internship hunt in that area.  I contacted a country radio station that I listen to often, got an interview, and right after the interview I was offered their internship position for spring 2009.  I was their first interviewee, but he was very impressed with me and offered it to me on the spot.  I accepted, and will start late January.

Some of you might remember that I had been searching for sociology-related internships.  I had two interviews a couple of weeks ago, but they just weren't what I was looking for.  So, I headed down the broadcast road once again.  It seems to be my calling.  Things just seem to work out with scholarship money, internships, and grades when it comes to broadcasting for me.  I'll keep the double-major in sociology going, but it's looking like the broadcast route is the one I'll be taking for my future career.  We shall see. :)

A lot of you already know this, but my family's Yorkie, Meg, had her puppies; three boys and a girl.  Now I am patiently waiting to pick Sulley up during Thanksgiving break and bring him to his new home! :)  He will most likely be one spoiled puppy!  I may have already been shopping at PetsMart and Sessions..... just maybe....

Well, anyway, school is going good.  I have fall break this coming Monday and Tuesday.  What do I plan on doing you may ask?  NOTHING!! Things have been so hectic for me lately, I plan on being lazy the whole time.  Looking forward to it!

Ryan and I celebrated our one year anniversary on the 13th.  The year has just flown by!  We also went to the Sleepy Hollow Scare Park in Pleasant Hill for Halloween.  They have a bunch of haunted houses, a hay ride, some mazes and stuff.  It's pretty cool.  I did get the living crap scared out of me by an evil, bloody, sharp-toothed clown.  That wasn't too fun.  He liked to follow me.

An added note, not really important, but worth mentioning.  I was having kind of a bad day last week, just stress building up and not feeling well.  Anyway, I told Ryan I just wanted to stay home and rest.  He showed up a little later at my apartment with these:

I thought it was a sweet gesture and a nice surprise.  Just thought I'd share since they're so pretty! :)

This post is getting long, so I understand if you need to read it in parts, and come back to finish later! HAHA!!

Ryan was featured in the Times-Delphic, Drake's Campus Newspaper.  You can read the article by clicking here.  It is a very nicely done article.

That's about it on my end of things for now.  Sometime, e-mail me and let me know what you all are up to! :)

Life Happenings and Updates

Iptv is going well.  I'm still just working Thursdays and Fridays, as well as a few weekends here and there.

Also, my family's yorkie, Megara, is expecting.  Her due date was today, but no word on puppies yet!  I am especially excited for this litter because I am (hopefully) keeping one for myself.  My apartment complex allows pets, and I think I'm up for the added responsibility of caring for another life!  (Just a dog, not a child... ha!)  I've already named him: Sulley.  Now, watch her not have any boys. :)

Kait and I went home this weekend to see the fam.  We had some fun and watched some old family videos.  Ryan especially enjoyed that ;).  Anyway, then Ryan had a Monroe county authors reception in Albia at the museum.  He got to talk about his book, and now he'll be in the history books!

That's about it on my end of things, I've been working out and have been successfully dieting for the past couple of weeks.  About six pounds down!  It's not much, but it is a start!

Check back in with me.  I'll be back sometime!  Something exciting is bound to happen. :)
