2009!

It's 2009, time to make those New Years resolutions that noone really intends to keep. If you are interested here are our New Years Resolutions waiting to be broken for 2009:

* Be more organized
* Loose weight at be healthier
* Wipe out at least one nasty debt
* Save more money

Gee, aren't those the basics for almost everyone on the planet? Okay, lets make some more entertaining ones...

* Spend more time with good friends
* Laugh more
* Screw the tight budget- we're going on more (nicer) dates
* Realize "family" means just US and out DOGS- and put those groups FIRST
*Focus on what we want, not what we feel obligated to do

Xmas Photos (a late post)

You'll notice who in the family wears mouse ears...hahaha!

...Just Like HRD!

One of Sarah's goal is life is to be like her dad. Without being a scary X-Marine of course!

He is an extremely educated man, having worked his way to earning a bunch of Masters Degrees (we're not sure the count, we'll have to ask later).

Sarah just added to her degree count herself, and that's one step closer to being like her dad, one small step for education, and of course the reason for this post.


Also Sarah is currently Student-Loan Free...take THAT economy!

OUR 2nd ANNIVERSARY!

We were married Dec 19th 2006. Two whole years. Wow. Whodathought?

In two years we have:

Moved to Colorado for a job that didn't work out
Stayed in Colorado and bought our first house anyway
Vince found a job
Gave dirty looks to everyone who mentions having children
Adopted Olie
Sarah went back to school
Adopted Frank
Sarah got hired in her actual field, and still decided to do more schooling
Adopted Penny

Yupp...we're pretty boring even for an old married couple.

Puppies in the snow~

Official Best Buy Black Friday Video

You can see us only in short bits:

1:00-1:06
it scans a close up of Quinn, Vincent, then Sarah
You see a limo pull up and Sarah says "our limo is here...yay"

1:15-1:22
A hard to see Sarah in a dark limo
Sarah says, "I was on Best Buy's Black Friday website and I was like- Essay contest! We can TOTALLY do that"

2:38-2:41 (blink and you'll miss it!)
Sarah runs into the Best buy Store, looks over her shoulder to see where Vincent and Quinn are, and keeps running while waving a Best Buy flag...looking like a dork. (Notice the cute black trench coat, yay!)

4:03-4:06
Sarah holding up her giftcard saying "I love this giftcard- it's going in the scrapbook!" You can see Vincent next to her filming from the other side with his new Flip Camcorder (another prize!)

4:39-4:43
As the winner's name scroll you can see "Sarah, Denver" That's OUR Sarah!

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

It's been a tough year for everyone down here, and we're willing to bet the North Pole has also been hit hard by the current economy. More elves than their are jobs for, cost of cookies going up? But at least you feed can feed your reindeer to get around, our cars guzzel up overpriced gasoline! We're not asking for much this Christmas, but just incase you got all those memos from people saying how good we've both been heres some of the things we could use this season.


Vincent:

A Toaster. Yes, we've been married for two years and we still don't have one of these. We've been microwaving our poptarts and toaster strudels.

Socks. Plain, White, stink-free (he can add that feature on his own!), and big because Vincent is secretly Big Foot in disguise.

Sarah:

Slipper Socks. Our floors are both slippery and cold. Solve both problems in one easy step!

Storage racks for food storage in the garage. With all this super-couponing we do we're running out of space in our small kitchen cupboards.


Olie and Frank:
"Please donate to the Humane Society. We have everything we need from a full sized bed the humans keep insisting is theirs but we know better, endless snuggles and attention, and lots of treats. Other dogs aren't as lucky."

Penny: "I want attention. All your attention. And I want it NOW!"






***disclaimer: This isn't a gimmee gimme post, this is to let those who asked (mainly, Moo) what we'd like. They asked, so we answered.

Our New Neice!

Eric and Erin (Sarah's brother-in-law and sister) just added a new member to our family! And yes I'm talking about a puppy- in our family dogs count just as much as people, especially when no one has kids. (Dogs are the new kids ya know!)

Introducing the adorable Midori:




This is a good photo of Erin as well. Shes on the left if you were wondering.



Isn't she just the cutest? Moo thinks she looks like a Manatee, haha! We just want to squish her little face and cuddle her all up!

TREE GOING UP TODAY-STAY TUNED!

Our Disney Christmas Tree is going up sometime today, so stay tuned for photos!

More Black Friday pics...

This is Carl our personal shopper. He thought we were all crazy. He was right.

Quinn and I trying to sneak into the newsvan. They had fun interviewing us I think.

Heres the winning team again- this time with a flag. Go us!

The VIP area with some Best Buy representatives. You guys were the BEST!

The Queen sitting in her throne as the peasant Quinn looks on wishing she was as cool, but sadly never will be.

BLACK FRIDAY- the post you've been waiting for!

Our shopping cart filled with fun stuff! And a flag that says Beest Buy Black Friday VIP WINNER! (wow look how short I am in this photo!)

I told you this was a romantic holiday! Smoochie smoochie!

BLACK FRIDAY 2008 What would YOU do with $1,000?

Waking up with a pug trying to squish me, gotta love Frank da Pug!

Get your shopping buddies, in my case my hubba hubba hubby and friend. (wow Quinn, could you be more albino in this photo?)
Enjoy your breakfast of limo goodies. Sodas, RedBull, Starbucks, Water, Muffins, Granola Bars, Fruits, etc!

Coco-Cola is the brekafast of champions, didn't you know? In otherwords, at 3:00 AM Sarah needs her caffeine!

Striking my Zoolander "Blue Steel" pose. Somehow I seem to be doing this in most photos.
