So now that I've posted my life up until I got married I'll fill you in on what's going on it our lives now. Kaleb has a great job working at Western Pulp which is a production company.  He works very hard to provide. I am currently working as a temp at Oregon State University. I have been working as a temp here since January of 2011. I just recently found out that I will be becoming a full time employee with benefits and everything as of June 2012. I'm so happy! I've worked very hard to get this.

Kaleb and I bought a cute little house in Albany 3 bedroom 2 bath with a fenced backyard not huge but it's big enough to play in. So far our lives have been really easy together. The only difficulties we have been through is in January of 2012 we lost our puppy Tails which was pretty devastating to us but she's in little puppy heaven now eating all the food she possibly can I'm sure.

Kaleb and I have been really looking forward to starting a family together. It's an amazing feeling when you know it's time to start a family. We have been trying to conceive for about 8 months now and it's been pretty hard on me the last two months. I've always wanted to be a mother, I was just waiting for the perfect husband to come around first : ) We waited to buy a house and be married for a year before we really started trying and it just hasn't happened yet. I know it will though! That little baby is just waiting for the right moment to pop into my uterus haha.

So that's my life so far! I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff in between here and there but that's just me. I'm kind of a ditz sometimes.

So this is my family. On the left is the Stinger's and the right are the Stonelake's. I wouldn't trade them in for anything. My family (Stonelake's) are very very close and I was lucky enough to find that Kaleb's family is just as close and just as accepting. I really am blessed to have the life I do.

This is Tootsie. She is a Cardigan Welsh Corgi. She will be getting the last of her shots on the 9th of this month. She was just 6 weeks when we got her. I'm very much looking forward to being able to take her on walks and to the dog park. She hasn't got to experience much of life yet. Then again she is only going to be 4 months as of the 13th! She is a very happy little dog and loves attention and toys. She's starting to catch on to potty training although she does sneak off and poop under our bed if we aren't paying attention.





This is Buddy. He is a little sweetheart. He HAS to be touching you at all times. He is a rescue dog. We got him when he was about a year old. He is about 4 now. I'm not sure why anyone could ever let this little guy go but I'm glad they did! He's not much for sharing his toys or his attention but he's getting better with time. He is according to the people who gave him to us 1/2 Corgi and 1/2 Beagle. An adorable mix. I haven't seen any other dogs like him yet.

I was just searching through life until I found my purpose. When I found Kaleb he made my life complete. He gave me a reason to want to be a wife, a mother (one day) and a better person. Each day is a new adventure. Whether that adventure is watching our favorite TV show on the couch while cuddling with our animals or whether it's going hiking we always look forward to our time together. I haven't had one day that I watch the clock at work and can't wait to get home to him and our little animal family.
