Happy New Year!

It's almost official. One year ago since Mike popped the question! We sure had an exciting year and accomplished a lot. Unfortunately, this year is starting off with him getting laid off as of Jan. 5 so I guess we'll just roll with it and see what happens. For better or worse, right? LOL

Tonight we are going to see the Bob & Tom Comedy Tour at DeVos Place and then if the weather isn't too miserable, we're going to check out the first ever ball drop that they're having downtown at Rosa Parks Circle. I heard they're expecting 10-15,000 thousand. We'll see. It could be interesting. I hope everyone has a fun and safe New Year's Eve. I'm off work until next week and have exciting plans like taking 4 cats to the vet on Friday. What can I say? I'm a multi-tasker. Other than that, I have lots of chores to catch up on, wedding pictures to finish proofing, and maybe even a few movies to watch. Oh, and a bottle of wine to finish off. Not necessarily in that order....

Louie likes to help out. He also likes to climb in anything. Sometimes it's amusing. Sometimes it is not.

From our house to yours........Happy Holidays!

Hooray -- it's a snow day!!!

We went to the Griffins game on Friday to watch Chris Chelios play with the team, and also for the $1 beer/dog night. They lost in overtime but it was still a fun time (and a cheap date!)

I'm also posting pics of the very cool and one of a kind kitty bed that I received today from Kim as a birthday present. She put legs on the box that she originally made to hold our placecards for our wedding--what a great idea! The material is very cute with kitties and paw prints, and it even matches our living room colors! She even went so far as to fill it with fluff inside of a plastic protector so the outside material can easily be removed and washed.

Here Tuff Guy is modeling it (i.e. claiming it as her own) and Shadow is checking out the cool new hiding spot underneath that is sure to be popular. Tuff Guy took a two hour nap on it this afternoon so it must be comfy. Thanks Kim -- we LOVE it!
