haha I’m dying watching this video clip right now! With my dreaminess and Ryan’s very thoughtful and analytical processes I have found a glimpse of what our children might be life:

Seriously, it’s like this little girl is the exact combination of the two of us:

“I get a little bit of information every time I find evidence” (Ryan)
“If I find out there is no such thing as fairies, I’ll be really disappointed” (Heather)

If you aren’t a surfer and don’t know what it feels like to get barreled, here’s your chance. This is the best point-of-view barrel footage I’ve seen. If you turn your speakers up you can even hear the hiss as Brian Conley gets spit out of the barrel.

No matter where I may be….

As high as Machu Picchu….

Hanging from a glacier….

Chilling with a Kangaroo in the land down under (isn’t my new bikini hot?)….

On a wild safari with Lions and Tigers and Bears oh my (and elephants too!)…

Snuggling a panda or trekking the Great Wall…

Or Freezing in England with a pile of rocks…

My heart is always with you!

Happy Anniversary lovey! I love, miss you and wish you were here wherever it is that I am!

P.S.

Major thanks to my brother for his photoshop genius!

Ok Ryan, you can pick yourself up off the floor, dry your tears and have a good laugh. I’ve been gone for one whole day now and I’m sure you are missing me terribly (Actually, I’m sure you are enjoying sprawling across our bed and hogging the fan). I’ve put together a collection of your favorite, “Balls of Fury” clips off YouTube since I am not there to make you smile. Now anytime you need a laugh that I would normally be able to provide, you can visit our blog and see all your favorite clips!

Ok, you evil little man who laughs at others misery, I LOVE YOU and I miss you! Aren’t you impressed with my savvy “future post” knowledge?!

Check out our photo wall! Thanks to Shutterfly and the ease of ordering digital prints, we’ve covered almost an entire wall in our bedroom with the smiling faces of our family, friends, beautiful landscapes and great memories! I highly recommend making a place in your home to display lots and lots of photos. Every time we look at this wall (which is all the time since our bed faces it) we notice that our mood picks up and we have so much to talk about thinking back on the people and places that we see!

Although I’m not working with AkuShaper as I was when we first moved out here, I thought you guys would get a kick out of seeing the new machine in action.  Jimmy and Mike have done a great job improving the machine and re-branding the company since the split with Miki and the old APS3000.

You won’t see much of my work in the videos, but the 3D virtual shaping bay in the second video was one of the features that I wrote:

Mr. Clyde that is…

Sadly we had to make the decision to put poor Mr. Clyde down. We juggled between keeping him alive and setting him free or being responsible adults and doing what was really “right” in this situation. Mr. Clyde’s injuries were severe, expensive and we found out that he had tested positive for feline Aids/Leukemia. Keeping him in the wild was dangerous for not only himself but for other cats as well. Getting Clyde out of death row was also expensive, $60.00 not to mention the additional medical costs to keep him on antibiotics for his eye injury.

Needless to say, we will be avoiding the pet aisle at the grocery store for a while. I nearly broke down at Foodland today while grocery shopping

We’ve decided that Clyde’s death shall not be in vain! I’ve secretly held a grudge against the commercials that pluck the heart strings of Americans and gather generous donations for animal rights and shelters. Don’t get me wrong, I think these organizations are very important, respectable and commendable. I’ve always been a bit angry though watching millions roll in for animals when children go without food, education, medical care….

The $60.00 that would have gone towards bailing Mr. Clyde out of death row will be put towards a charity to help children in the above mentioned situations. If you feel like donating in Clyde’s name, contact us and we’ll hook you up with the all the important information.
