Well, C'mon, they are related to me! :)

Okay, so I know that I just posted, but I have to brag for a minute about how cute my nephews are!!! I know that pretty much everybody that reads this also reads my Sister-in-law and brother's blog and already read all about Jake and Ty, but they are just too cute for words. I wanted to post a couple of pictures of them because, well basically, because I can. :)



Jake being cute and making funny faces!

He's so dang sweet!!

Brothers!! I love that they're holding hands in both pictures. Just makes me melt...

Ps. All pictures provided by my cell phone! Gotta love modern technology! :)

In a Nutshell

I know, I know. It's been a month. I knew that I was going to suck at this!! Well, a lot has happened since I got "tagged" but, incidently, my camera won't let me download pictures onto the computer and I didn't want to post without pictures. I'll just have to roll with it and use a couple that I have. So, big things have happened with me. I slept with a boy. It's about time right? Don't worry, it was my dog Auggie that I bought! He is the CUTEST dog in the world. The only problem was that I got so stressed out by having to take care of him that I sold him 48 hours after I bought him. Only me. I cried like I was getting paid, but I know it was the best thing. I couldn't care for him the way he deserved to be cared for because of my job, so I sold him to a nice girl up in Vancouver, WA.
Auggie Stump (only for 48 hours though. Now he's Oscar. Really?! That's a horrible name. He does NOT look like an Oscar at all. So sad...)

The day after that I started a new job as a nanny. I work about fifty hours a week for a family in NE Portland and I LOVE it. Claudia is about 3 months old and she is so much fun. She's already rolling over on her own and loves to smile, laugh and go for walks. (I sound either like she's mine or I'm putting a personal ad in the paper!) Her parents are fabulous and I really feel blessed to have found them. I know that this is where I'm supposed to be right now.

Little Miss Claudia!

I also was able to hang out with six students that came over from Slovenia. We had SO much fun with them. I miss them a lot...We were able to show them all over Oregon and Washington and they also went down to California. And one of them wants to set me up with his cousin...Hm. Any advice on long-distance relationships?? (Totally kidding.) They loved it here and didn't want to go home. My favorite part was the second day they were here and we were driving downtown and the boys were riding with me. They were making fun of my car because it's "plastic." Zan (pronounced Jon) started going off about how everything here is plastic, "Everything here is plastic. The food, the cars, the girls..." I told him to wait until they went to California because the girls are REALLY plasitc there! It was funny. :)

The Slovenes! L-R: Urban, Anja, Tjasa, Nika, Zan and Matic (The one with the cousin :)

Other than that, I'm just chugging along. Keep your eyes peeled for an update in another month! And to those who stuck it out and read this whole thing, thanks for being a real friend!
