So Bregan humored me for a few minutes this afternoon by letting me take some pictures of her. All in all, she was actually very good! And she was tired afterward so she layed down and took a nap!

Disclaimer: I realize that I am not a 'Photographer'. I realize that these are not the most amazing photographs that you will ever lay your eyes on. I realize that there are things that are in the way that I should have noticed but didn't. But I also realize that I love taking pictures. I realize that I enjoyed being with my family driving around this crazy little town looking for places to take pictures. I realize that I had a great day and no matter what the pictures look like, it made ME happy....

I cried...
Thursday night, I layed on the bathroom floor and sobbed. Not just cried, hysterically sobbed. The kind of sob that comes from deep down in your chest. And your soul. The kind that makes your head hurt for hours afterwards. The kind of crying that comes not just from being sad, but from hurting physically.
JoJo wasn't just 'a cat'. I know that's how it seems to the outside world looking in, but she wasn't. She had been Chandler's cat for 10 years. And mine since we started dating. She was a part of our family. And now she is gone.
Now I'll be the first to admit, she wasn't the most gorgeous cat in the world. But let's be honest, she'd had a rough start in life. She started out with grease packed in her ears, fur, pretty much anywhere she could have grease on her, she had it. Then she had an 'accident' with a car. One that could have been avoided, but I won't go into that. Then she had problems with her eyes. Not only was she not cute, but she had sick eyes all the time, one being glazed over, a nasty scar, and she would have random bouts of 'tweaking' as Chandler and I called it due to her 'accident'. They were kind of like seizures but not. Anyway, that's beyond the point. The point is that JoJo was our first child. She liked to lay with us on the couch and watch tv. She would sleep on the bottom of our bed every night. She was always there. And now she isn't.
Tuesday morning I woke up to her crying under Breagan's crib. I took her out only to discover that her back legs were not working. After 2 trips to the vet and several doses of prednison later, we decided that it was time. Time to let her go. This was no way for her to live. The nurse at Dr. Durfee's carefully wrapped her in a pullover of mine that she loved and placed her in the pet carrier. Then I took her to my dad and he dug her a grave amongst our other family pets and we layed her to rest. (Thank you dad. I know that I wouldn't have been able to do it.) And yes, it was 90 something degrees and my dad was out in the direct sun digging a hole. He's a saint.When we got back to my mom and dad's house, my mom asked me if we said any words at the 'services' and I said, "Yeah, I said 'Damn it's hot out here!' " And so the healing begun.
I have to thank everyone for the little things they did for me. Mom, Hailey, and Brinley for watching Breag while I made numerous trips to the vet. My dad for being the funeral director. And Chan for letting me sob on the bathroom floor and then coming in, giving me a hug, and saying 'This probably isn't the best place to be laying down at'. Dr. Durfee for taking such good care of her. And the sweet sweet sweet nurse there. I do not know her name, but I will find out. She was so good to me and to Jo. Thank you everyone.
We love you Jo

Things I'm Lovin on
So I know that it seems like between here and facebook, lately all I've done is complain about the weather and what not. But really, there are some things right now that I am LOVING!
Okay, speaking of the weather, I don't hate EVERYTHING about summer. I'm definitely in LOVE with these thunderstorms! The other night I turned off the lights, opened my blinds, and layed on my bed watching the AMAZING show over the west mountains! I've been in the middle of one of those thunderstorms when we were camping once, and that's what made me a lover of these!
My Ipod Touch. Are you kidding me Apple? This is seriously the
BEST. INVENTION. EVER. Hands down, no questions asked.
And along with the Ipod comes this: Bejeweled. I'm pretty sure that I'm an addict and need to go to meetings. Me. Chan. & my Mom.
I'm totally obsessed with paint right now. I think Chandler lives in fear every moment he's at work wondering what he will come home to next. We've repainted both bathrooms and are now working on finding a color for my bedroom. I want to paint one wall BRIGHT RED but that would mean re-carpeting. Not that it doesn't need to be done.
Curse you hideous green carpet.
Who doesn't love them a Phillips screwdriver, right??? This little beauty helped me prep my bathroom to paint whilest Chandler was away at work. Amazing. And just a side note, before aforementioned use of screwdriver, I'd never used one. Sad. I know.
I had never even HEARD of this show until there was an ALL DAY MARATHON one Sunday. I can't get enough of it now. Just an overview: Three guys go into places that are supposidly haunted and are 'locked down' for 12 hrs. (6 pm - 6 am) Believe me, it's C R E E P Y. If you love a little scare, this is a great show!
Kind of strange, I know, but the last few years I shopped at PetSmart and it was always pretty good. But then they stopped selling cat litter for my litterbox and went to some El Cheapo Grande crap. (Check out the link if you are looking for an AWESOME litterbox :) Anyways, long story short, Petco has the good litter, PetSmart does not. And plus it looks like they have some awesome internet sales as well! SCORE!
So these are just some of the things that I am OBSESSED with right now. I've caught the 'renovation bug' thanks to too many hours spent watching Renovation Realities. It makes me want to do S I M P L E renovations, not the crap that they take on. Are you kidding me, you are going to cut a HOLE in your wood floor and BUILD stairs to your garage???????? That's going to go well.....
Other than that, not a whole lot is going on. Breagan has gotten 2 molars and they have been pretty tough, but we're getting through it.

Fun Pictures
There's a whole bunch of pictures that I've been wanting to post, but haven't gotten around to it so here they finally are! This is a pic of Breag wearing daddy's firefighter helmet. SO CUTE!
Just like daddy, LOVIN her some pizza!
Breagan choose her outfit for the day. Lovely.
Taking a stroll with Papa.
My little ham.
Yep, she's a future Mozart.
And of course, Aunt B. Breagan idolizes her.

I'm running away....
I might live in Utah, but my heart will always be in San Fran.
Just a little weather forcast for you: San Fran was 67 degrees today and will get into the upper 50s next week. I'm SO running away and NEVER coming back.......
