My new LOVE! His name is Junior!

So I have developed a love which I never thought I would! That love is of Pit Bulls.... random I know!! I have always wanted a little dog, a cute little dog that will follow me around and cuddle on my lap. I still want a little dog, but I may be willing to reconsider some day if I could find a dog like the little grey one in this picture. His name is Junior and he belongs to Ceasar Millan, The Dog Whisperer and I LOVE THIS DOG! I think from his site that he is a Blue Pit Bull and I LOVE THIS DOG! The other dog in this picture is Daddy the pit bull and I also think this dog is amazing too... but junior has my heart. He is grey with white feet and grey blue eyes... he is awesome. Although pit bulls can be worrisome, as Ceaser says it's not the breed it's the humans that are around them... we need to be calm and assertive, which I think it a good way to live in life.

My mother-in-law introduced me to the show, I had seen Ceasar on Oprah, but that was it. So one night she mentioned she liked the show and watched it sometimes, so we checked it out. A free preview one month built my love of the show, and I now have the channel in my own home so that I can watch the Dog Whisperer whenever I can. I totally recommend this show is you have a dog, love dogs or just want to watch an amazing show. He has such a talent and is amazing to watch.

I just have watched it for the past two hours and I'm not going to like I cried in some of the stories... it is just an amazing show and I just needed to share my love of this show and my new love and want of a Blue Pit Bull. 
So I figured I should mention some other things that we have been up to. Last week Brandon and I got to go to my grade six class graduation. They are finished elementary school and moving onto junior high. The ceremony was wonderful, and the students deserved it! I wish that I could post more of the pictures from that night because I want to tell the world about these wonderful children, but I can't, so you just have to trust me, these students are amazing and will do great things. I send my congratulations out to all of them!!!! This is a shot of my teacher Margo, she is an amazing teacher and is so dedicated to her students and to teaching. I have learned so much from her and hope that I can be a teacher like her someday! I cannot thank her enough for such an amazing first teaching experience.

After the ceremony Brandon and I went to Il Mercato for dinner and it was AMAZING! I had a pasta dish that is was penne, broccoli, pine nuts and raisins in a honey glaze... It is like my new favorite meal... I could have had two dishes of it. We got free dessert that night because I was brought the wrong dish first, which I wasn't going to let fly since I was wanting that meal so so much. The waitress was so sweet and apologized, and brought my meal out so fast, I didn't mind at all, but did appreciate the free dessert, I had cheesecake and is was so yummy! Brandon and I had such a wonderful night out just getting to relax and chat!
The kiddies were over for dinner one night when the bigger kids went to the movies with kathy and jeff, so of course I had to take pictures, Georgia and Cooper are just too cute and Brandon is not so bad himself...hahhaa, love that guy! He is so great with the kids and such a good uncle. This week he actually helped Kathy out and took the big girls to a birthday party, I think they had fun with their uncle B. I got to have some one on one time with jake that night. We walked to the mall to go to the dollar store and had a cinnabon treat together, with a stop to the playground. It was  fun to just have the quiet time to talk with jakie!
Brandon and I have been busy, we've just finished out first summer course, which was wonderful, we both learned and enjoyed the course. I will post pic's from our presentations as soon as I get them on the computer. We have a week off before our next course. We are enjoying being in class together, but will be excited to have some time off. We've also been watching the Planet Earth series that the BBC put out, and wow, what an amazing program we've watched 6 of the 11 episodes so far and have learned so much!

School has been taking up most of our time, but we are enjoying life and staying busy. The gym has been going great, I've been going 4-5 times a week and have been enjoying the activity so much... I definitely plan to keep this activity up, it feels great and I'm feeling awesome!

I'm off to keep relaxing and to get ready to watch Merlin, it's on channel nine, it's a mini serious about Merlin and the future King Arthur when they are younger... I don't know why I like it so much but I have been and wouldn't mind reading books (novels) relating to these people.

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the summer!! More things to post but will wait to have the pictures to go along with them!!
