Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We had a great weekend, it was Eric's 36th birthday! For once, thanks to help from my Dad, I was able to get Eric a kick ass birthday present. We got him an autographed Jim Kelly Buffalo Bills Riddell Helmet. Eric has been drooling over the helmet for four years, it's been in our friends store, AAA Collectibles. So finally I was able to get it for him. Eric was super surprised and happy which made me feel good. The funny thing is we woke up at like 5:00 am on his birthday so he opened his present then. What a great way to start the day. The night before we ended up going to sleep before 10:00! We had a slumber party with Buster in our guest room, it was so nice to sleep with my two favorite men.
On top of the great present I fed Eric well to for his birthday weekend. On Saturday I made a great Shepherd's pie and on Sunday I made him Gwumpki (stuffed cabbage rolls). I even baked some banana bread, which is always a favorite. I'm starting to feel pretty good about my cooking skills. This week we are going to tackle fish, we've been eating to much beef it's time to mix it up. We'll see how I do, hopefully I can come up with some tasty meals.
In other news, my year anniversary of being diagnosed with Leukemia completely flew by. I thought for sure I would do something to kind of celebrate or something but I completely missed the anniversary! Funny huh? What a difference a year can make. Last year at this time I was just finishing my first week of chemotherapy. Now, I'm healthy and back to normal. It's crazy to think I fought off the cancer and then had a bone marrow transplant all in a span of six months. I am so thankful to be through all of that and be where I am today.
Well that's it for today, I hope you all have a great Monday. In closing thanks Dad for your help, I am now the greatest wife of the year! And another thank you to Kathy and Chuck Pyjas for raising such a wonderful man. :) Much love and peace from 6119.

Well Hello Again!
First off, let me just say I finally remembered my password to this blog! Yay! I usually have to change it and I was afraid since I've been gone so long that I wouldn't remember, but I did. Ahh little victories. Okay, sorry I know that's a lame way to start off the blog, forgive me.
A lot has been going on in our lives and I've been busy but I've been meaning to write, just never sat down to do it! Eric and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary on October 6th. It was great we ate crab legs drank wine and celebrated each other. It's amazing how much we have been through in our four years of marriage and I am so thankful we've had each other to get through the tough times and to celebrate the good times. We are blessed and we are thankful for our love.
Then we came up on October 11th, which was a cool date because it was 10/11/12. That won't happen again until November 12, 2013 and I think after that it won't happen for a long time. I meant to write a blog that day just to call out the 10-11-12, but I got busy so I had to say something about it now.
Next Eric, Buster and I drove up to the Blue Ridge Parkway, to check out the fall foliage. It was beautiful! We got up early and drove the whole trail, stopping at almost every scenic outlook. We even took a little hike on the mountain side, which was really cool. Eric took a lot of great photos so I'll be posting some soon. It was just a wonderful trip and we had so much fun. Eric kept joking that we were lowering the average age of visitors for the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Unfortunately, Buster got a tick while we were exploring the mountains. Then, two days later he was stung by a yellow jacket. The poor guy, he was in a lot of pain and kept shaking, I didn't know what was wrong at first so I took him to our vet. They saw the sting mark right away and treated him with benadryl for dogs and they took a look at the tick site. I had already removed the tick but they checked to make sure it wasn't infected or anything. So he's all fixed up and back to normal now but it was a rough few days for the little guy.
Well, that's all I got for now. Thanks for still reading, sorry it's been so long. I hope life is treating you all well. Peace out from 6119.
