FREE PUPPY!!!!!!!!

OK! I have some exciting news!!!! We have a BEE-YOU-TI-FUL 8 week old male dachsund/chihuahua mix puppy FREE to a good home. He looks more like a dachsund than a chihuahua and has a darling, laid back personality. But wait! Don’t take my word for it, here are the pictures!!!!

it’s the one in focus on the left

Funny for the day

ok, not to make light of our global economic position or anything….but with so much else that is wrong in the world. I thought I’d share this post my friend ///rin pointed out. For those of you who like puppies. Click, if not. Carry on! 🙂

Aw Snap!!!

Just had to share this awesome t-shirt a friend (Charo) told me about! I’m getting one and going to wear it all the time! I might even show up at your wedding in it! 🙂 Just kidding, I always dress in my professional ninja black for weddings. 🙂

BTW, this is only available today Oct 23 only. So if you don’t see this post today, it probably won’t make sense. 🙂

Annual Vanderkleed Fishfry

Well, I don’t often have a Saturday off, but am glad I was able to go to the Vanderkleeds annual fishfry this year. Much fish, food, onion rings and other stuff was consumed by all! AJ had a blast too! Had to post a few pictures here for everyone to enjoy.

Horses!

Had to share some personal photos with everyone. I love horses and Chris’ mom has a few, so when we go up there I like to spend time taking pictures of them. Here are a couple:

Here is one with my little niece Adia

If Ever You Worshipped

A good friend of mine from college sent me this link from youtube and I thought I’d share it

Please pray for AJ

Wow, I haven’t been able to blog in quite awhile because where I’ve been logging in at blocks this, im accounts, and facebook/myspace.

As many of you already know, my 7 year old son AJ was life-lined to Riley on March 17th. Thanks to the quick work and efficiency of the wonderful people at St. Elizabeth & Riley Hospital in Indianapolis and God’s loving hands, we still have him with us today. What happened was that AJ had been having headaches off and on for about a year. The last few weeks they had become a serious issue and we took him to the Dr. He was diagnosed with probable migraines. Unfortunately they were because of a brain tumor and on the morning of the 17th it burst leaving him unconscious. Chris & I were at a convention and my mom & dad rushed him to the hospital.

We are now basically living at Riley Hospital in Indianapolis. He has come through 2 surgeries well and we are going to embark on rehab, radiation & chemo treatments this year. More information can be found here where we are updating his progress as we go along:

McGreevy-Marks is still here for you and all of your needs, but the hours I will be working are going to be considerably less for awhile. I will be doing sessions approx. 1 day/week, and of course, weddings on Saturdays. Please feel free to email me or call me on my cell. I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks so much for your understanding and prayers in this difficult time.

Bon Jovi ~ Lost Highway Tour 08

Who: Bon Jovi (Jon, Richie, David & Tico)
Where: United Center, Chicago, IL
When: 2.24.08

I still cannot believe what a great concert this was. We had seats on the floor in the 12th row. What we didn’t know, was that we had some of the best seats in the entire arena. About 2/3’s into the concert, Jon came out to a small platform right in front of us to sing (You Want to) Make A Memory. Oh wow! It was just incredible.

Then it got better! Richie came out and joined him for I’ll Be There For You.

Jon finished with one more out there, Till We Ain’t Strangers Anymore. I’m posting a few images below that I got with a little P&S coolpix I had with me. Not my usual camera of choice, but I was glad we were allowed to take these little cams in.

It was a great night! I hope you enjoy looking at these!
