Strawberry Fields....Forever

I know, it's been a while. I have just been so busy at work lately that when I get home, I want to relax with my furkids and hubby, not get on the computer.


We had a semi-surprise birthday party for Xavier's #21 birthday last week. It was a lot of fun. We had jello shots and played games. Makes me eager for Halloween!


Sunday-Wednesday this week I went to Corpus Christi for Animal Response Disaster training.

I passed, with a 100%!! YAY. It made me think about not only what we would do at the shelter if there was a disaster, but what we should do at home for ourselves and our pets. It was a good experience, that is for sure. :)

This weekend is Wiener Fest! I'm very excited. This is the big event out in the community for the shelter and this is our first time to attend. Gus is racing in the "Wanna-Be-A-Wiener" race. Hopefully he will run... I see him getting excited to play with the other dogs. Snickers is not racing, because she is too big for the boxes (they are dachshund size).

My sissy got her business website set up (thanks to the help of brother).

So proud of her. :)

A Vegas Love Story

We have a bunch of pictures, but here are a couple. :) You can look at all of them at http://krystleleson.shutterfly.com/

The trip was a blast. Lee & I picked shows to attend for our "last night out," me and the ladies went to see "Thunder From Down Under" and Lee and the guys went to see "Bite" at the Stratosphere. Other than those shows, we really just went around to the hotels to site see. We saw the fountains, the volcano, and walked the strip. We ate at In & Out Burger, tons of buffets and the last night we treated ourselves to a fancy dinner to ourselves at the top of the Stratosphere. It was so nice and romantic. :) I'm a very lucky girl.


Our families and some friends came out for our wedding and we couldn't be happier. It was so fun to be able to celebrate with everyone. :) Thank you to everyone that was able to come and those who were with us in spirit (via the world wide web). Love you all!

Smile & Move

I have fallen in love with a new movement. It's called Smile & Move

Smile & Move is a call to positive action... to be happy and do something... a reminder of how we should approach our work (whether that work is done in the office, on the field, in the classroom or at home).

It's about mattering to the world, all with a smile.

We hope the message serves you and those around you well.

You can either order the book online or print/read it online for no fee. I printed the book for my co-workers. :) I think it's an awesome reminder, life is never that bad. It reminds you that you should seek out the good in everything.

If you have time, browse around the website www.smileandmove.com, it could change your life.
