Our bike ride with Harley

Jeff got off of work early for Good Friday so when he got home just after lunch time we decided to take a bike ride. It was such a beautiful day so we decided to make good use of it. Harley decided she wanted to go along for the ride as well.

She loves to ride in that basket! We put a blanket in there b/c last time she lost some of her toenail b/c it got stuck in one of the basket holes. It only trimmed it off, she never lost a nail or anything!

We decided to take pictures b/c I love my bike. I got it from Jeff for my birthday & have only gotten to ride a few times together with him. We rode all around the walking trails in the neighborhood. Boy did we get lots of oohs and aahs b/c of Harley being her cute self. She faces the front b/c the wind blows in her face & her ears stick out & it is just so adorable! There were a lot of people out by the lake & pool so you can't beat the great weather here.

Early Easter Bike Ride!

Anniversary Party

First of all, I have to thank all of you who came to our St Patrick's Anniversary Party on Saturday night! Jeff & I had a blast. This was a big party for us to host so we have to have more in order to be better hosts. Jeff & I just love St. Patrick's Day & the color green. We are thinking of making it a yearly event at the Joiners' house. What do ya think?

For those of you not in attendance we had lots of food & decorations but at the last minute couldn't seem to find our plastic eating utensils!!! How embarrassing. Thanks to Cindy M. for running home & bringing some to the rescue!!! Everyone was then able to eat all of their green food that we made. For those who had to leave early sorry for not getting the camera out sooner but we did at the end remember to take pictures.

Feel free to comment on how the party went & what could have been a little better. There is room for improvement in everything we all do. So some positive criticism would be helpful in order for me to have another party of some sorts. Jeff & I love parties so help us out, as friends would do, criticize! We are begging.

It's been a while!

OK, so I am a little behind on journaling! When I first started the blog I had just finished our paperwork with LDS Family Services & was about to begin my second surgery for Endometrosis, when the surgery put me to bed & with the holidays the time just flew by!!!

So for a little catching up. Jeff & I went on a cruise in Feb. for an early 10 year Anniversary Vacation. We flew to San Juan, Puerto Rico & stayed a few days before setting sail to The US Virgin Islands, St. Kitts, Dominica Republic, Barbados, & a few others (all were Southern Caribbean Islands) We had a wonderful time. We took our first cruise 8 years ago to the Western Caribbean when we were married. We hope to cruise again after we adopt a baby & it is old enough to go.

Jeff & I are doing well. We are working & staying busy until we are chosen by some wonderful birth parents. We are celebrating our 10 year Anniversary this Saturday the 15Th by throwing a big bash for our friends. Our Anniversary is the 17Th but we figured no one wanted to come party on a Monday night! I will post pictures of the party afterwards. I am a little slow at posting. I do well with everything except the changing of the background. The background is done by a dear friend who is very sick & pregnant, A Big Shout Out to Bea Robinson, for the help with that!!! Hang in there Bea.

Keep checking back maybe I will be able to post cruise pics before the party pics.
