Blue

Devin has recently introduced me to sushi.. all I can say is YUM. 

However, what is pictured here is not quite the real stuff, but it is surely delicious as well.

We're just proud that we were successful enough to get my Okie, mother, grandmother, and brothers to try it. :) We're so proud! 

SICK.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week I was incredibly sick, and Devin was incredibly sick in Nashville as well.  Neither of us really know what was wrong with us, but for some reason, we're both feeling much better now. 

Thank goodness. 

Tuesday I went into work, however, I was feeling pretty awful. Here is a picture of the kleenex I put over my face to prevent my spreading of germs around to my co-workers.

At that point, I was still feeling well enough to be silly - obviously.

The next day, I had to leave work early, and then had to call in sick Thursday. However little energy Zoey got out while I was sick, she was still the best dog in the world. She snuggled with me, gave me kisses, held her bladder, and was very well mannered for having not got any of her walks or playtime in. I couldn't have a better dog, I'm sure of it. 

While I was sick here in Omaha, Devin was quite sick in Nashville. He had very different symptoms than I did, so we're not sure that we had the same thing, but were both pretty miserable. Probably Devin more than I, as he was not able to take a sick day or relax in his own bed at the end of the day. 

Devin was having vision problems and very sharp pains in his stomach. He was on his way to urgent care because he was in so much pain, but then threw up and started to feel better. I'm not even sure what those symptoms could be, but he assured me that he is feeling much better, so I'm very glad. 

Zoey and I are just so excited to have him home so we can take care of and baby him! :) 

Enjoying the Weather

However much Zoey and I have been missing Devin, we did not let that stop us from having a good time outside in the beautiful weather on Monday. 

That was before I got sick, and before Zoey came to know the most boring week of her life. Poor thing. She looks pretty  happy here though, right? :) 

We Miss Devin

Devin has been in Nashville, Tennessee all week on an audit. Zoey and I have been alone 4 nights all alone, and we sure miss that guy. This was the picture that we sent him on Monday night. Zoey was definitely okay with taking the photo, as she was definitely missing her dad. He's better at scratching her belly than her mom is. 

Good thing Devin comes back home tonight!

WE LOVE YOU DEVIN! 

Surprise! I got bangs!

I needed a haircut very badly - and wanted something different. 

This is what I came up with. I'm still figuring out how to style them, but I'm learning, and I love them (I think). :) Just thought I'd share with those who don't see me often :) 

 
 

Henry Doorly Zoo

I apologize for the lack of posts, but I'll update you on what's been happening in Omaha for the past 2-3 months. 

While Derek was in town back in July, we took a trip to the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha. This has been rated as the "best zoo in the world" for many years. Which is interesting, but Devin is sure that the zoo in San Diego or in Perth, Australia are definitely better. However, I have never been to either, so I'll continue to believe that this is the best :) 

Here are a couple photos of my favorite guys posing for me while we were there. 

There are peacocks that roam around this zoo freely, they're really very beautiful, and Derek thought he needed to feed one. It was disgusting. You could see the lump of french fry go down it's throat when it swallowed. But it was still pretty cool :) The last time we were at the zoo, with Eric and Barbara, the peacocks had had their babies, it was adorable!!

I told them to smile -- This is what I got. 

Now I got a model-like pose from Derek and a normal smile from Devin. They're both pretty dang cute. I love these fellas :)
