June 2009
Happy June all! Dan FINALLY came back at the end of May it is wonderful to have him close again (3 hours…but still closer than across the US!). I am almost done with my first class back in college, Diversity in the classroom. I start my next class,Intro to art, the 2nd week in July. That looks like it will be an interesting class.
So about 2 weeks ago I was wandering through petco and I wandered a bit slower near the female ratties. They were so tiny! One ran up to the glass and put her little paws up on the glass. I walked out of there with 2 new members of the family. Tosha and Jasmine. They are so little compared to the boys but boy do they have personalities! They seem to be changing daily…first one is outgoing then they switch the next week. I have added some pics of the new gorgeous girls 
Also, the pics of the Brown dog are my co-worker’s dog Josie. Dan and I house-sat for her a couple weeks ago and I couldn’t resist snapping a few pics of that face!

May is the month Dan comes home. The 28th can’t come soon enough. This is also the month I told him I want a baby. I felt the need to blog this because it’s important to me. He doesn’t want kids but something happened that made me realize that this is non-negotiable for me. On the 9th Kol “brought” me a baby dove. For 3 days I cared for this dove. I fed it, watered it..washed it when it couldn’t clean itself and held it while it slept. It took it’s last little breaths on the 12th and I buried it. Nuturing this little struggling soul rekindled a fire in me, a fire I have always had but tried to keep down with dogs and cats and fish and rats. I am a mother. I am one of those people who is BORN to be a mother and to never have the chance to have a child of my own would be devistating to me. The road will be long and hard as I have problems in the reproduction area…but to never try at all would be harder for me.
April is a busy month. On the 
March has been a crazy month. It is month 3 in the “wait for Dan” time. I went to CA twice this month…I got to attend Abby’s 2 year old birthday party which was happy for me. Wyatt’s tail got hurt and he had to have meds. This month was exhausting…but theres lots of pics to show for it! ONWARD!
This was Dan and I’s first full Christmas together. He helped me decorate the house and we bought a fake tree…my first fake tree ever. It will be OUR fake tree. He helped me set it up and decorate it, it was the best feeling ever.
November is Dan and I’s bday month. Mine is the 8th and his is the 9th. We went to 6 Flags in Vallejo. We had a blast! We went on the “Roar” so many times we had headaches!
