Chicago July 2006

I went to chi town with my mother to visit a friend that we knew from Texas. I am on the far right in black, next to me is my mom, Karen, then 3rd from the left is Cheryl from Texas. We took a limo ride around the city for 3 hours with her friends that flew in with her.

We did a little drinking...Not the bottle in between her legs HAHA

Above is the Chicago skyline from behind Shedd's Aquarium.

Below is Buckingham Fountain. It was beautiful!

This is the same group of us at the hotel before we left.

Washington D.C. June 2006

This is my friends in D.C. We went in June for a Dave Matthews conctert. (L-R) Eric, Myself, Spencer who lives in DC and is an Economist for the Gov't, Eric S. and Sarah who also both live in DC and are friends of Spence's.









The pic above is Eric and I in front of the White House. We actually had to wait in line to get this picture taken lol. Yeah we're dorks! Everyone wanted their pic taken in the same spot.

This is Spence on the Metro at like 2AM . They have these wierd signs all over the metro trains. I just thought they were wierd so I took pics of them :)

Peanut and Dee-Oh-Gee

These are my most precious babies! They are AKC registered English Bulldogs. On the left is Peanut and on the right is Dee-Oh-Gee. Dee-Oh-Gee is Peanut's baby from her 2nd litter. Peanut just had her 3rd litter of puppies.

These are her 3 babies. In this pic they are maybe a month old. My sister and I always have a habit of naming the puppies even before they are sold. The family that takes the puppy always names it something else but we still do it, stupid I know. Their names are (L-R) Brewski, Powder and India.

This is my cat, Cadence. I got her recently, no real reason why. I'm more of a dog person but I live in an apartment with no yard so a dog is out of the question. She's a pretty cuddly cat. She's spastic though :).
