can't wait for the weekend!!!

I haven't updated in a while...I've been busy with wedding stuff! We finally sent out the save the dates (most of them) and I ordered my wedding dress!!!!!!!! *so excited*

we have a new addiction..."24"!! If you've never seen it, its sooo good, we love it. Mike ordered all of the seasons from netflix and we just finished season 1 & started season 2 last night.

Our new kitty, Pinkie has been a fabulous addition to the family-- she's so much fun! We <3 her!

We've got a great weekend coming up. (I don't have to work again until July 5th-- thats a looong weekend!)

Goodbye to an old friend & welcome to a new one...

I posted a few months back that one of our kitties had gotten sick & barely pulled through. That was Smokie-- he was a sweetheart, always wanted to cuddle and be near someone. He passed away last Sunday.

(Mr. Smokie wrapped up like a baby a few months ago.)
Blackie was Smokie's brother & I never realized how much loss can affect an animal! Blackie was visibly sad the week after Smokie's death-- he wanted to be in our laps (which isn't normal for him) and he wanted a ton of affection.

Well, Mike thought it would be good to get another cat (not to replace Smokie, of course...but to give Blackie a companion. Introducing: Pinkie!

We adopted Pinkie from the Tulsa Animal Shelter- she'd been there her entire life & is 15 weeks old. She's a "dilute torti" (basically a watered down tortoiseshell) which means instead of black & gold fur, she has gray & pink!

At first Blackie wasn't so sure about her...but she was persistent!

The shelter said that it can take about a month for an existing cat & a new one to get along-- they only took a week! They nap together & play together- its adorable.

Here's Miss Pinkie engaged inher favorite activity--playing!!

And heres Blackie doing his favorite thing--relaxing!!

We <3 her!

WE NEED ELECTRICITY!!!

We were right in the middle of the lovely storm that rolled through mid-town at around 6 am Tuesday morning... the pics above show some of the damage. We actually had part of a tree fall on our roof! The houses around us are in far worse shape-- holes in roofs, cars crushed by falling trees etc. We're still without power...it sucks!!!

 

The Beginning of the "Birthday Week"!

Mike likes to make fun of my family for our love of birthdays. We don't just celebrate on the actual day...its kind of like Hannaukah--a week-long celebration. But, I think Mike is getting the hang of things-- he's booked a suite at the Cherokee Casino for this weekend! We're checking in Saturday afternoon, lounging by the pool all day, then eating dinner at McGill's (yummy steaks!) and then...gambling!!! I'm so excited, he's the best!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
