Bentlee!!

Bentlee is a Momma's girl!

sleeping with Ster!

6 weeks old

I never in my life would have guessed that one day I would have my own little dog that I would LOVE so much. Every time I would hear someone talk about their pets as if they were people I would think they were so weird and I never understood, well that was until I adopted Bentlee last year. I had been bugging Ster about getting a dog for a couple of month and he would say, No. Well I didn't like that answer so I would send him text message pictures of cute little dogs and I would also be on KSL looking and calling on these dogs. I really wanted one. Ster finally agreed that I could get a dog but I had to save my own money so I sold my salon chair and took that money and found Bentlee. I had been looking on KSL and calling around and I finally found someone that I wanted to buy from. The breeder was located in Clinton and so one Sunday I drove up there picked out Bentlee and 3 weeks later my Dad and I drove up to get the little puppy. Bentlee has been so fun. Its weird the connection that you can have with a dog. Ster and I have just fallen in love with her. I know this is bad but she even sleeps in our bed with us. She is a perfect house dog and she doesn't shed. She loves playing with my Dad's labs. I'm so glad that we got her and I can't wait until I can talk Ster into another cute friend for Bentlee. What do you think about the name JAG??

Can't Wait For Baby Tag!!

I have been meaning to blog about this for a couple weeks, but with Valentines day and two jobs I haven't found the time. A couple weekends ago I (along with help from Shelby and Val) hosted a baby shower for my long time best friend Julie Fiedel Sackett. I was so excited to have this shower for her. It was an open house and we had lots of fabulous food. Some of Julie's favorites like cream cheese brownies and sugar cookies and lots of other tasty foods. Julie was so spoiled and received a lot of great gifts. Thanks to all of you that come. At Julie's shower I was able to see some of my close friends that I haven't seen in forever it seems. It was so nice to see everyone and talk about what is going on in their life's now. It's amazing how fast life goes by. I have truly been blessed with wonderful amazing friends. These days its hard to find good friends and I'm very lucky to have more than one. Lots of them I met years and years ago. Julie is probably one of my oldest long time friends. We met when we were in Sunbeams together. We lived about a block from each other and would always meet at the Osborn's house, which was half way between our houses. We had such a fun childhood with our crazy imaginations. We have been through alot together from divorce to hair school and everything in between. One funny thing about Julie and me is people ALWAYS get us mixed up. I was Julie and she was Jesi, we just learned to answer for both names. I'm not sure if its because both of our names start with the letter J or if its because we both have blonde hair (well for the most part) or because we were always together. Either way I feel so lucky to have her in my life. We email or talk almost everyday and have remained very close after all these years. I'm so excited for her and Grant to have a baby Tag.

Happy Valentines

Valentines is one of my favorites holidays. First, because its getting closer to Spring, and next because its a good excuse to try expensive restaurants and get beautiful flowers, plus its all about you and the one you love. Ster is all about spoiling me and he does such a great job. He always goes above and beyond. This year we stayed at the Hotel Monaco with Heather and Aaron and no not in the same room. We have so much fun with them that at the end of the night I'm so tired. I usually past out on the floor and it doesn't matter where we are. We went to dinner at Olive Garden instead of the expensive restaurant at the hotel because I was starving and I couldn't wait for our reservations. We had a very, very eventful night. Anyway I hope everyone has a good Valentines Day.
Theses beauties were waiting for me in our room!
