Our newest addition!

I have been trying to convince Travis for a while that we needed a bunny, but he was hesitant because when he was younger he used to raise them then kill them and eat them. So he was not wanting a bunny. So we were thinking a guiny pig but he decided that he didn't want to have caged animal, till we have kids. So we decided to get a dog! We searched on ksl various pet stores and the Pound before we found the puppy we wanted at a pet store called marks ark. I saw him and immediately knew he was the one he was a Little out of our price range but i just couldn't leave the store with out him. We were having some troubles coming up with a name so i had the idea to ask my niece and nephew for a little help, of coarse they were napping so we had to wait for them to wake up. My nephew who is ubsessed with Lego star wars for the wii said we should name it luke skywalker!! we decided that was a Little to long lol so we started to play with the name we could name it lu or luwii, or luke. Then it came to us his name is...... drum roll please!.......... Luigi!!! Both my niece and nephew loved it! cuz they are also huge Mario fans!! He is such a good boy he has only had one accident that we know of and whines to go out side to potty!

Hi I'm Luigi! My birthday is Jan. 3, 2011 i weigh just under 4 lbs and I'm about 12 inches long! I'm a pek-a-poo that's slang for pekingese poodle mix! I love to chew on things mom thinks its cuz I'm teething but the truth is i just want to play! I like to fallow people around and bite their ankles cuz i think its funny when they jump!..... well until they accidentally step on my tail ill learn not to do that eventually. Other then that I'm a really good puppy and I'm a good cuddler well at least i think :-D

Date night and the DSi

The night we got the rebate we decided to have date night there were no movies playing at gateway that we wanted to see. So we decided to go to the dallor movies our movie tangled 3D didnt start till 9:20 (it was 6;30). So we decided to go to sizzler to have steak it was super yummy!! We still had time to kill so we went toys r us for awhile and looked around travis decided he wanted a DS. We decided that it would probily be cheeper at game stop, so we walked over there and they were cheeper!!! We ended up getting a DSi for only 149.99 i got two games and he got 1 we both decided we didnt like our games so the next day we returned them and he got the new pokemon game and i got a harvest moon game!! Its been fun to have something to do when he is sleeping and im not tired or when he is watching something i really dont want to.
Waiting for the movie to star t we still had some time to kill i loved the movie though it was one of my favorites of all time!!

DEBT FREE!! well besides the house and car!

Debt has always scared me. I bought and fixed up my first car with cash. when i was 18 i got a credit card and in 3 years i have never payed intrest or came close to maxing it out. Travis on the other had a maxed out credit card, a car loan, a personal loan and a loan for his lasic surgery with a 23 percent intrest rate!!!! He cut up and payed off his credit card and personal loan, he also payed off my ring in 2 months. When we bought the house we decided we didnt want ot have drag our luandry back and forth to some ones house to get it done. So we decided to go buy a washer and dryer. We did 12 months no intrest and recently paid that off also. Our tax reabate this year was awesome we we got almost 11,000 back witch helped us pay off our window loan, rc willey, and his lasic surgery. We even had enough to put about 1500 in savings for emergencies and my 21 birthday. We even put some money towards paying off the car. It feels so good not to be almost completely out of debt i cant wait till all we have is the house so we can save like crazy!!! And not have to worry about how we are going to make the next payment or buy groceries.
