VICTORY

John 16: 33

" I told you these things so that you can have peace in me.  In this world you will have trouble,

But be brave!  I have defeated the world."

My Pupperoni

Let me tell you about my little Pupperoni. His name is Patriot. He is such a funny dog. He is currently seven months old and the bottom picture is the most current photo of him. BJ got Patriot in Texas and brought him to Ohio. He is such a cute, fun, and very animated dog. He can also be a double hand-full, because he has lots of energy!

I love it when he sleeps like this with his back feet pulled up to his chin.

His ready to play pose!

This is a funny one. I caught him with his tongue out.

The funniest story I have about Patriot is when he swallowed a sock! I had only been home from work about a half an hour when patriot got a hold of a sock. I went to get it from him, but he just crouched down like he wanted to play. So, I though, "I'll ignore him and he'll move on to something else to play with. Well, I looked down to check something on the computer and then I heard this... gulp, gulp, gulp... I looked up and the sock was gone! He had swallowed the sock! I ran upstairs and told my husband, and then called the vet. The reseptionist wasn't very happy, and was almost in a panic. Dogs swallowing socks is a very dangerous thing, and can be very expensive to fix if the dog ends up needing surgery. So, she told me to hold while she consulted the Dr. on what I should do. He told me to feed patriot Hydrogen Paroxide by the Table spoon until he threw the sock up, and not to delay. Well, we didn't have any Paroxide. So my very unhappy husband went to the store and got a baby dropper and paroxide. We fed him one Tblsp. Nothing. Then another... and a third... he started rolling around on the ground his belly must have been getting stirred up, but still no action... so then a fourth.... and FINALLY... out came the sock! And he's just fine.

Learning to be a wife

Proverbs 12:4~  A good wife is like a crown for her husband, but a disgraceful wife is like a disease in his bones.

 ¹²For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face

 to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even 

as also I am known.

 1 Corinthians 13:12  

Wedding/Honeymoon

These are a few pictures of my Wedding and honeymoon that I promised.  We had a great time at the wedding and in Cancun too!

May 30th was my last post.  Shortly after that Bj returned home from helping out his family in TX, so i took off for a couple of days.  On one of my days off Bj and I went to the Columbus Zoo.  It was so much fun.  We saw the new baby elephant.  His mama kept walking him around and around the enclosure almost like she was parading him for everyone.  Then he would run off, smell a thing or two, and then run back.  He was sooo cute!

The next day, we went fishing.  There is a very nice lake on base.   But as nice as the lake is the only bite we got was from the sea weed.

The following week we picked up our puppy from the airport and my commander gave us tickets to the minor league baseball game in town and a free parking pass too!  It rained a little bit, but we had a good time.  His cousin was staying close by so we invited him to go with us too.

The next big thing was was our Wedding!  It was such a memorable day.  There were people there that I hadn't seen for 8+ years.  Also, much of my family was able to come including my cousin stationed in Alaska, and my other cousin's wife and kids(they're stationed in Hawaii). My aunt from Idaho came too.  It was such a wonderful time.  After the wedding we went to Cancun for our honeymoon.
