Graduation
Charlie graduated from Advanced Obedience Class at Petsmart. I wanted to do the Canine Good Citizen test with him, but he isn't quite mature enough to do it. They can't walk with a gentle leader (which he has to do right now...pulls too hard without it), so we'll be going back for another class to work on that. He loves class! I would definitely recommend going to Petsmart for dog classes!!!
My 20th Birthday
Marcy 4th, 2010. I had a great birthday! I took the day off of work, relaxed, then went to dinner with a great friend, went home and opened presents and ate cake and ice cream. It was definitely a relaxed day!!!
Opening up my presents. Charlie definitely helped me open them up!
My amazing cake! It was a Strawberry boston cream cake! SOOOO GOOD!!!
Wonderful flowers that I got from Anna! (Forgot to send you the pics...they were gorgeous!)

Charlie's First Birthday!!!
So I know some of you will roll your eyes at this post, but I did celebrate my puppy's first birthday. It was the middle of December. Ha. I got him some new toys, a new rawhide bone and the rest of us ate some cake. Hey, I will do anything for cake ;) haha.

Last 2 Months or So...
Wow! The past 1 1/2 months have been packed full of stuff! Here we go trying to update my blog. ha.
I finished my externship! YAY! I got a job on the Float Pool at the Budge Clinic. Basically we fill in for people who either call in sick or ask for time off. It really is a cool program to have...that way the employee who needs time off doesn't have to find someone else...the lady over the staffing department is the one who helps make sure everyone is taken care of. So I've been working for about a full week now on that. It's tricky trying to remember what each doctor wants and how to efficiently run the office, but once you get the basics down it's not so bad.
Charlie graduated from obedience class! It was the intermediate level. We learned tricks like "On Your Bed" where they actually will climb onto/into their bed and lay down, "Wait" until we give the command and then they can come to us, and stuff like that. He's done way good! In a few months after the holidays we are going to sign him up for the advanced level obedience class! I'm excited!
This is me, my mom, and my sister's project this year to decorate our house. All it took was some creativity, some spiders, and lots of string! But it was definitely fun and it turned out great! We did have some tombstones that we bought at the new Halloween USA store, but I didn't get a chance to take a pic of those.
Charlie sure did love the pumpkins! We bought each of our dogs one little pumpkin that we carved a face into. Charlie went nuts...all he wanted to do was pick the pumpkin up by the stem and drag it around the yard!
Of course...what would a fall be without playing in the leaves?! Ha. Charlie, Wrigley (the blonde-ish dog) and Nathan (my bro) had lots of fun playing in all of the leaves they raked up.
At Petsmart this year, they had a Halloween party for dogs and cats about a week before Halloween. We definitely got into the Halloween spirit by dressing our three dogs up! Becca dressed Wrigley up as a soccer player, and Cinder (her foster dog...the black lab) as Pocahontus - complete with the braids! She HATED her costume! And of course...we had to dress Charlie up as well. He got to go as SPIDERMAN!!!!! He just absolutely adored his costume! The first time, however, he felt embarrassed until we told him how handsome he looked. Then he quite enjoyed it!
Last but not least, here is my Halloween costume. I didn't want to spend much money so I went to Macey's and got some tattoos that look like lacerations with either staples or stitches in them. They looked real! Plus, they cost like $1. So it was a great deal. I just put white makeup on my face and a black eye, and this tattoo and went as a beat up person. ha. I couldn't find my old soccer or basketball uniform so I just wore my regular clothes.
Anyways, there it is. I've been quite busy! But it's been way fun too!

Externship!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my gosh! Tomorrow I start my externship! I'm so nervous but excited at the same time. I'm up at the Budge Clinic rotating through the float pool, which means that I get to rotate through all of the different offices within IHC. Pretty cool cuz I am not sure what sort of office I want to work at. So I get to work at offices in family practice, pediatrics, OB/GYN, and lots of others! WISH ME LUCK!!! :)

"Grandma Bea's Family Reunion"
This year was the first ever "Grandma Bea's family reunion". It was just for my dad's side of the family in celebration of our grandma (my dad's mom)...a new tradition I guess. We went up to Cherry Hills for this reunion. It was so much fun!
The majority of us cousins got the all day splash pass that allows you to swim in whatever pool or go on whatever slide you wanted. Our favorite was the rapids. You sit on this huge innertube as you go down this slide that mimicks water rapids. I mean, there's bumps, fast water, everything you could basically think of. We also went on the lazy river, which is basically just what it says...you float on either inner tubes or float or whatever around this circular river. Kinda relaxing.
Some of us also went and played mini golf, which is always fun (and kind of challenging). Me and my brother went and played aeroball, which is a basketball game where you jump on a tramp separated by this mesh wall and you try to throw the ball into the other person's hoop. We were exhausted after that! But it was definitely fun!
We took down our dog Charlie and my sister's dog Wrigley. Needless to say my cousin Brielle (the little girl I'm holding) loved Charlie which doesn't happen often...most kids love Wrigley and Charlie kind of scares them. She was adorable...she would walk right up to him and lay down next to him, pet him, and give him treats.
My sister Bec and our adorable new second cousin Connor. He's about one year old.
Two of my second cousins. Maddison and Hallie. They're cuties!
Becca and Maddison sharing an ice cream cone.
