So as many of you have heard by now the Hubs did not get selected to be an Officer in the Air Force. Yes we were devastated. Apparently this was the lowest percentage of applicants accepted in a very long time; less than 10% from across the country. We spoke with the recruiter and he strongly urged reapplying, because Hubs was a very strong contender and would more than likely be accepted the next go around. After much discussion we have decided to not pursue it again. As much as it would be an awesome career and life for us, we feel that it wasn't meant to be. I am so proud of my husband and all that he worked for. He is an amazing man and I know that he will excel in anything he chooses to do.<br />
<br />
Here is the starting over part...<br />
<br />
We have decided to pursue something we both love and live where we would be extremely happy. We will be moving back to California, yay finally!! We will also both be going back to school, Art school to be exact. I am going back for Photography and Hubs will be going back for Illustration. We may be starving Art students, but we will be happy. I am so excited to be moving on soon and starting over again. If you have ever seen Hubs' art you know he'll be an awesome Illustrator.<br />
<br />
So here's to living on the Beach and being Art Students!<br />

Just ask Hubs he'll tell you that I can jump from dogs to shopping to Paris all in one fowl swoop. So here it goes:<br />
<ul><li>I'm reading a book that the Hubs suggested and I hate it! I only continue to read it because its his favorite book. I love to read but this is terrible.</li>
<li>I love to watch Gilmore Girls everyday at 3pm. Its my guilty pleasure.</li>
<li>Although I despise working out I love the high you feel afterwards. My favorite right now is the elliptical. I am building up the amount of miles I can go and so far it is 4.25 miles daily. Weird and frustrating part is I haven't lost an ounce. Boo!</li>
<li>I seriously love my dog, but sometimes he can be crazy. Like just now for instance he woke from a dead sleep ran off barking like a mad man. Of course there was nothing there and he sheepishly came back and fell right back to sleep.</li>
<li>My favorite movie right now is Zombieland. Its disgusting, funny, and I hope they make a second one.</li>
<li>I get my hair cut on Friday! Yay! I seriously need it done :o) </li>
<li>For something a little more serious, I am generally pretty patient, but I think waiting until June to find out if Hubs is selected as an Officer, just may kill me.</li>
<li>And for a touch a Spring for all of you who are stuck in the snow:</li>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The last weekend in January we took our little Ozzy boy to Las Vegas to enter a competition to become a Bully Ambassador for Bo & DeeMo clothing. We had a blast and there were over 100 bullies. Nine bully breeds were represented and there were no fights at all! Go Bullies!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><br />
So alot of you have been asking how is Matt doing?<br />
<br />
The answer: AH-MAZING!<br />
<br />
Let me tell you I have the most amazing man for a husband. As most of you know in February 2009, He decided to join the Air Force as an Officer. In order to do so he had to lose 110lbs. Now don't be thinking I had an overweight husband, he is 6'6 and was focusing mostly on weight lifting at the time. He switched from doing weightlifting to mostly cardio and in 10 months has lost it all. He is one skinny dude now, but he looks awesome. I'll post before and after pictures later if he says it's okay.<br />
<br />
He also had to take the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test or AFOQT in November. He passed with flying colors and now we are on to the next steps. He will take take a physical sometime before February 15th, which I have no doubts that he will do well. He has always been the active type and loves working out so he will do fine. Then the last step to the application process is in March where he will have his Selection Board. It is a panel of Air Force Officers that interview him and decide if he is right for the Air Force. Knowing Matt he will do well in this portion because he interviews really well.<br />
<br />
After everything is finished he will be given a date to enter OTS, Officer Training School, which is basically what we all know as Boot Camp. We are very excited for this next step in our journey and although we know it will be very difficult, we are looking forward to it. I am positive that this is where we are supposed to be in our life and will be interested in where it takes us. The likely candidates for what he wants to do are Florida, Japan, Germany, Oklahoma and where ever else the Air Force would like to send you. Yay! Not too long now, we are on the home stretch!<br />

Oh and if any of you Air Force wives have any advice for me whatsoever, I would be more than happy to listen.

The holidays were so much fun I just didn't want them to end. So let's recap!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/S1IIVYU8_VI/AAAAAAAAAVc/f52ay3EwhgQ/s1600-h/Christmas+0811.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/S1IIVYU8_VI/AAAAAAAAAVc/f52ay3EwhgQ/s320/Christmas+0811.jpg" /></a><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Everyone was able to go to my parent's house this year and it was a blast! We all squished into their living room and opened presents n Christmas morning. It was so fun getting to be in on the Santa secret, and helping set up Christmas for the kids. We got some amazing presents this year! Matt got a bunch of clothes, which he needed after losing 100lbs this year. My parents got me red luggage! Yay! I've wanted red luggage practically my whole life. Matt got me a nice pink fluffy robe, it is so soft, I love it. Ozzy got some wonderful toys and treats that he is still having fun with. We were able to see all of our nieces and our nephew. It was so nice to be all together again. And of course, one of the best things about having Christmas with my parents is the food. The food was amazing!! The ham was to die for, I still think about that yummy ham!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For New Year's one of my sister's was able to come up here. While the were driving up I was cooking away. I decided to make it a Pioneer Woman New Year's Eve and made 4 or 5 of her recipes from her new cookbook. It was fabulous! The best was the black eyed pea salad and the chocolate sheet cake. Yum! Once they all got here we dug in and enjoyed the evening. It was so much fun! The next few days we just hung out and visited it was alot of fun. We visited the snow one day, the girls and Ozzy had a blast.<br />

Well I feel like that has been me for a couple of weeks. I am in such a photography slump. So to get me out of that funk I thought I would put up just a couple of my favorites I have taken from over the years. The car ones I took back when I only had a small cheap point and shoot.<br /></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/SvuO7C_wJZI/AAAAAAAAATY/myd-252SWyg/s1600-h/Ghost+town+022-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

I know I have been slacking on the blogging recently. Sorry I was on Vacation, yay for me :o) While there I finally got my hair cut, thank goodness it was getting a little blah.<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/SuthfB7IkEI/AAAAAAAAASU/F077ieEU9AM/s1600-h/haircut+0011.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/SuthfB7IkEI/AAAAAAAAASU/F077ieEU9AM/s400/haircut+0011.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398515764053971010" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />When I got back Matt and I decided to carve our pumpkins. I know it sounds kinda lame and childish, but we have done it every year since we have been married. So it's become our little tradition. Every year we try to outdo the last and this year was no different. One of my bulldog friends found a different bulldog pattern than I did last year, so of course I had to do it. Matt found a Joker pattern online that he really liked.<br /></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/SutkjJqLOuI/AAAAAAAAASk/V_2cCVW0SRo/s1600-h/113.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/SutkjJqLOuI/AAAAAAAAASk/V_2cCVW0SRo/s400/113.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398519133384686306" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/SutkiseS5lI/AAAAAAAAASc/6rDDIHtw680/s1600-h/111.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/SutkiseS5lI/AAAAAAAAASc/6rDDIHtw680/s400/111.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398519125550229074" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/Sutlgxo0T5I/AAAAAAAAAS0/DpGglcTsZe0/s1600-h/009.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/Sutlgxo0T5I/AAAAAAAAAS0/DpGglcTsZe0/s400/009.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398520192088428434" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/SutlgErsCMI/AAAAAAAAASs/t5HVeEKIIGY/s1600-h/003.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/SutlgErsCMI/AAAAAAAAASs/t5HVeEKIIGY/s400/003.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398520180020873410" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">After all of that fun one of us had to get sick of course. Poor Matt has to talk with a lot of people on a daily basis, some of who aren't always healthy. So of course he got the Flu, yeah you know the one the makes you go Oink, Oink. I am staying as far away as I can, while still trying to take care of the sicko. He is taking his Tamiflu, I made him homemade chicken noodle soup and we have already gone through the first gallon of Orange juice. Today was day one. So the rest of the time should be intersting. Here is the Ozzman trying to make Matt feel better. My two sweet boys :o)</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/SutoBffoP8I/AAAAAAAAATE/gfA5-R0pUgY/s1600-h/030.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/SutoBffoP8I/AAAAAAAAATE/gfA5-R0pUgY/s400/030.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398522953176989634" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/SutoA0uPxUI/AAAAAAAAAS8/f1J0BrM4QQ0/s1600-h/027.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/SutoA0uPxUI/AAAAAAAAAS8/f1J0BrM4QQ0/s400/027.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398522941695575362" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Until next time bloggies!

It is a kid's movie, but it easily is for adults as well. It deals with some very serious issues. Issues that I personally can relate to. Young love, <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Infertility</span>, lack of money, <span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);">love of a dog</span>, orphans... I could go on and on. I literally sobbed at parts in the movie. l Who knew that a movie made for children would make me cry like that. In a good way. It made me feel better about things I was dealing with.<br /><br />Doug, oh, <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-size:130%;" >Doug</span>. Doug is the wonderfully loyal dog, who reminds me so much of my little <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-size:180%;" >Ozzy</span>. Not so bright at times, but has devoted love no matter what. My favorite line,"I hid under your porch, <span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);font-size:180%;" >because I love you</span>." Oh my word I burst into tears.<br /><br />It comes out on DVD and Blu-Ray on <span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);">November 10th</span></span>. I know I'll be buying it. When it comes out you must go rent it at least.

Oh and did I mention my birthday is right around the corner???Gillianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00727938069739992110noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5107867336007822035.post-10075773515123602272009-08-20T10:18:00.001-06:002009-08-20T10:20:24.947-06:00UGH!So I haven't posted in a while because the power cord to my laptop decided to die suddenly.

Hopefully my new cord will come soon and you can see them.<br /><br />Until then, I'll see you around :o)Gillianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00727938069739992110noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5107867336007822035.post-35659411452001968522009-08-07T18:19:00.003-06:002009-08-07T18:32:27.336-06:00Real Chocolate<span style="font-family: arial;">Do you like chocolate??

You know... they make Dove chocolate, Twix bars and many more yummy chocolates. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">I first heard about their promise to continue to make real chocolate through my mom. Who just happens to be a Dove Chocolatier. Yum! You see when you make chocolate you need to put some sort of butter/oil in it. Instead of using real Cocoa butter, from Cacao, many companies are starting to use things like vegetable oil to cut down costs. Yuck!!! That's why chocolate tastes so much better when you get it from Germany, Switzerland or even Mars chocolate. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">To show customers what real chocolate should taste like Mars is giving away free chocolate. What was that??? FREE chocolate??? Yeah!! Every Friday through October you can register for a free candy bar! They will send you a coupon in the mail and all you have to do is go to the store. WAHOO!!! I received my first one in the mail today, I am sooo excited!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">So go to </span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="https://secure.realchocolate.com/default.aspx">RealChocolate.com</a><span style="font-family: arial;"> and Enjoy!</span>Gillianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00727938069739992110noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5107867336007822035.post-73135036786349625942009-08-05T12:32:00.010-06:002010-02-18T18:26:26.300-07:00California, we miss youA coup<span style="font-family:arial;">le weeks ago we went to California for our anniversary and to visit family. We had so much fun it was hard to leave. I really miss the nice cool weather of SoCal as opposed to SoUtah.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Of course we had to go to the beach that is a must. Matt and I packed up Ozzy and his things and hit the road. My Sister, her Husband and two girls came along too.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">One of my cutiepie nieces enjoy the beach with Mommy</span><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/SnnTiEYgJSI/AAAAAAAAAQs/nlq2G3LCMX8/s1600-h/CA+Vacation+152-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/SnnTiEYgJSI/AAAAAAAAAQs/nlq2G3LCMX8/s400/CA+Vacation+152-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366553013234181410" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Ozzy and Matt enjoy the water</span><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/SnnTijaw6XI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/j15Ak-yc7xs/s1600-h/CA+Vacation+155-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/SnnTijaw6XI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/j15Ak-yc7xs/s400/CA+Vacation+155-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366553021565167986" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Ozzy had a blast running and jumping in the water.

But that's not why I love him.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I love him because he puts up with me. He puts up with my craziness, my insecurities, my stupid habits, my forgetfulness, and my bizarre ideas. He will do just about anything to make me happy. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Our current plan for the future is for him to join the Air Force as an Officer. In order to do so he has to lose about 100 lbs. You see he is 6'6" and you have to be a bean pole to be in the Air Force. Since we don't have children right now and we don't see it in the near future, we are ok with moving around a lot. I am actually kind of excited about it. I miss just being him and me in a new place. I won't like being separated, but I can cherish the time that we are together. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Now I just need to become one of those women who I admire. Women who can stand on their own. Women who are fierce. Women who aren't afraid to do things just because they can and had nothing better to do. Why do I feel like watching "Yes Man" all of the sudden??</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">My whole life I have been shy and quiet until people get to know me. I am tired of it. For me it is easier said than done, but I really need to break out of my shell. There was a time where I was passionate about life and learning. I miss that. I can't wait to get back to that.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Wait, this post isn't supposed to be about me...</span><span style="font-family:arial;">. </span>Gillianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00727938069739992110noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5107867336007822035.post-14829516668725249532009-07-26T18:38:00.002-06:002009-07-26T18:44:52.078-06:00Yeah I know...<span style="font-family: arial;">It's been awhile.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">If you know what has been going on the past couple weeks you probably would understand. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Let's just say you never win against the boss' daughter.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Since I have had some unexpected time off recently, I haven't felt like doing much of anything. But thankfully that's all over now. I have decided to go back to school, YAY!!! After four long years of being away I am finally going back. I am so stinkin' exciting I can hardly stand it. I know I will be older than alot of the people there, but who cares! I'll more than likely be taking some photography classes, art history, you know all of those real important classes. Classes start in August so I'll have a few more weeks left of hanging out and then back to school. YAY!!!</span>Gillianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00727938069739992110noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5107867336007822035.post-87620229810235211112009-07-02T07:58:00.004-06:002009-07-02T08:06:38.513-06:00A walk down Main St.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/Sky-JvOvLmI/AAAAAAAAAPg/wg6cFyeW0bM/s1600-h/136-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/Sky-JvOvLmI/AAAAAAAAAPg/wg6cFyeW0bM/s400/136-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353863131543055970" border="0" /></a>Saturday we took Ozzy for a walk down Main St. Mostly so we could get cupcakes :) It was pretty hot out, but the cupcake place had misters outside so we sat and hung out for a little while.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/Sky-JV21IoI/AAAAAAAAAPY/-CUDVHUDzeI/s1600-h/132-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K9gfpLytWJ0/Sky-JV21IoI/AAAAAAAAAPY/-CUDVHUDzeI/s400/132-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353863124731896450" border="0" /></a>And can we talk about this guy!?!
