Our faithful friend Digger RIP

Today we buried Digger, our ferret. He was 6 1/2 years old which is a ripe old age for a ferret. Even though I was deathly afraid of him and I constantly complained that he stunk up the den I'm going to miss him so much. He had a gentle soul and was a great companion for Bob, especially when he first started travel nursing and was staying in apartments. Once, in Rocky Mount, Bob was getting ready to move and his washer and his dryer were already out of his apartment. Digger snuck out of the dryer vent hole and ended up in some lady's apartment. Digger ended up at an animal shelter and Bob had to go bail him out of Ferret jail.

He had a huge cage which would be considered a mansion to most ferrets. He loved to sleep in his hammock and often would hang out in his little wooden house that Bob and Shaniah made for him. Sometimes Bob would let him out of his cage so he and Nutsy could play. Nutsy would chase him around the house but would never hurt him. They were really good buddies.

We buried Digger behind my greenhouse next to the bunnies that we tried to nurse back to health this summer. Both Bob and I were really down today. Its funny how pets become family. Digger will always be in our hearts.

Jess's Wedding Part 2

Jessica and Joe's reception was so much fun. Everyone had a great time. The food was delicious and making it into a costume party was a fun way to celebrate. Congratulations Joe and Jessica!!!


Double Trouble!!!


Who's the Wood Nymph?...yep, that's me. And the guy trying to stay out of the picture is Beth's boyfriend Pete.


In my opinion Frank and his wife Nancy had the best costumes at the reception. Nancy, you put Elvira to shame!


Wasn't the cake lovely?...tasty too!!! Sorry Jessica...I made you stand there for a billion pictures and your eyes were closed in the only one that didn't blur!


Cutting the Cake


A new tradition, smashing the cake in the maid of honor's and best man's faces. Right up the nose...good job Jess!!!


The STICU ladies looking very fly: Beth, Hannah, Kim, Nicole, Julie, Jessica, Jill, Tracy, Lori, Lisa, and Dara


This is a photo of everyone who dressed up for the reception. Check out the storm trooper in the middle!! He is so cute!!


Second dance


Tracy looks like she's being nice but but what she's actually saying to Dara is "Out of my way sister!"




Woooo, woooo!

Here's everyone's favorite RT Bev.

This little guy is one of the most adorable kids I've ever seen. So cute!!!

Jess's Wedding Part 1

This weekend my friend Jessica and her long time boyfriend Joe decided to make it official and tie the knot. Jessica looked absolutely beautiful. Since Halloween is Jess's favorite holiday they had a costume party reception. A lot of friends from work showed up. We all had a great time.



There's Beth checking things out.


Here's Jess and Joe's son Joey with the flower girl. They are too cute!


Joey couldn't look happier seeing his mom walk down the isle.


Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today...

I wish I could have gotten a picture of Jess walking down the isle (the ones I took were blurry). Her dress was so gorgeous, accented with pumpkin orange.



Exchanging of the rings...


The Blessing...The minister did a wonderful job. This was one of the most beautiful ceremonies I've ever seen.


Lighting of the Unity Candle


Seal it with a kiss!


This little guy did a great job keeping himself busy.


"He he he...now I've got ya!"



Greeting the guests...Lisa and Jess


The Beautiful Bride


Everyone released balloons into the air to celebrate the happy occasion. I have to say it was a much better idea then getting pelted with rice or bird seed.


Hey! There's mine, right above the peek of the house!!!

Chop, chop

I finally did it...I had my hair chopped off. Well, at least 13 inches of it. After seeing my coworker Lori cut her hair for Locks of Love I decided to do it too. My hairstylist seemed more nervous than I was. Before she cut she said, "Are you sure???". I told her to just chop it off...its only hair. I'm so glad I did it...I love my short hair and its really nice to know that my hair will help make a wig so some little girl can feel better about herself.

Happy Birthday Mom and Savannah

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM AND SAVANNAH
SEPTEMBER 2006











We went down to NC in September to celebrate Mom and Savannah's birthdays.


Savannah is so sweet. When she gives kisses she puts her hands on both cheeks. Is she cute or what?












We got Savannah a Lady and the Tramp purse for her birthday with her very own Claire's card in it. Savannah is the only 3 year old I know that gets excited over purses. She has one for every day of the week, make that every day of the month!!! She had such a great time shopping in Claire's for Haley's birthday that I thought she would like her own gift certificate. Of coarse when we got to the store she looked at me and said, "Jill, I want to go home and see Papa".













Haley, our own little Star Wars fanatic, got Queen Amidala for her UNbirthday present. Is she excited or what?
