A baby on the way!!

So today was my first doctor's appointment. Despite being a bit nervous and not sure what to expect, all is well. Matter of fact, we did the first ultrasound. Now, if you were going by my lmp I would be around 11-12 weeks, but boy did I have the doctor fooled. The ultrasound showed that I am only 6 1/2 weeks along, which is what I suspected. So far, things have been good health wise. I haven't gotten sick yet (knock on wood), the only thing is that I am more tired and spending more time in the bathroom than I would like.

Tis the season...

Out with the Halloween decor and in with the Christmas decor. It's hard to believe that it's already November, where has 2009 gone? It's like this year has been a blur, but I am excited for what 2010 will bring us. Even though this year is almost gone, we still have 2 more months. These are probably my two favorite holidays, they go almost hand in hand with each other. Thanksgiving is about giving thanks, and well Christmas is about the birth of Christ, the greatest gift that has ever been given. I am grateful to have these two holidays, because they both make me sit back and give thanks for the blessings I have received. So I challenge you this holiday season, if you haven't before take note of the blessings you have received this year and gives thanks for them.

Tigger no more

So Buster and Tigger have been a part of the Gambill family for over 10 years, and well they are an important part of this family. Well, sadly I must say Tigger is no more. In the eye's of the City of Logan, Tigger doesn't exist. No, he's still alive, but the city decided to change his name!Tigger is now known as Tiggel.
Now the story as to how this has happened.....

Last Thursday I had asked Vincent to walk with me up to the bus stop. In his decision to come, he decided to bring the dogs as well. Now in the rush to get out the door we only had time to grab one leash. Of course that leash is for Tigger, since he doesn't like to listen (of course that can also be that he is partial deaf). Well, only having one leash didn't stop Vincent. He decided Buster could walk up to the bus stop without being on a leash. Now granted the bus stop is less than 1/2 a block away and Buster listens really well, I told him it wasn't a good idea. You ask why it's not a good idea?? Here in Logan, animal control is always out and Thursday was no exception. So as we started to walk up, who did we see turning a corner, you guessed it.....Animal Control. So Vincent quickly put the leash on both dogs, but it was too late. The bus finally arrived and AC had not come back around, so I kissed Vincent goodbye and got on the bus,somewhat relived. It wasn't until I got home from work that I was informed that animal control did stop Vincent. Now since moving here, we hadn't gotten the dog's licensed. Lucky for us they didn't impound the dogs or charge us a fine. Instead, they told Vincent that he had till Tuesday (that would be today) to get the dog's licensed, otherwise they would be impounded and we would be fine $100.00.
So on Monday we took the dogs down to Cache County Humane Society and got the dogs rabies shots. Now when the lady filled out the paperwork she made her rlook like al. I hadn't noticed this at all, why would I? So I then went to the police department and gave them the slips to get the license. After about 10 mins and $12.00 later the woman handed me two pieces of paper with a blue star tag on it. When I got home I went to put the tags on the dogs. Tigger was first, when I looked at his paper I noticed one important detail, he wasn't TIGGER anymore. My puppy, the police department had changed his name to Tiggel. So for the next year, in the eye's of Logan police Tigger is no more.
