Happy Anniversary Baby

My wife and I "Celebrated" our the year wedding anniversary this weekend. Unfortunately it want much of a celebration. These days money is tight and it's not like we can do what ever we want. She expressed her sadness to me that our "Anniversary Dinner" consisted of brats that I had had just taken off the grill and watching television for the evening. I told her that a co-worker had just celebrated his 34th wedding anniversary, he had asked his wife were they were going to go out to eat for the evening, McDonald's of all places! I Told my wife we were at home with each other, that's what matters. My co-worker even said it's not the meal, or were its at, its who it's with, the fact that we've made it through 10 years is huge for us (I always tease my wife that its been 10 years, 10 long years). We have been through a lot in those 10 years. We've had Family members pass, Family members join us, Loose Pets, Struggle with heath problems, But we are still together.

We may not me the "Perfect" couple, with the "Perfect" life, but it's our life and we're livin' it!

Must Have Blackberry Applications




Ok so maybe they aren't all applications but I think they are all 'Must haves' .... At least in my opinion.





1) Ubertwitter  If you Twitter, and have a blackberry, then by all means go for it. I have tried others, and so far I like Ubertwitter the best the latest version now supports multiple accounts.

2) Blackberry Launchers Ok so its not an app, BUT very useful I couldn't believe how many those guys put together.

3) Garmin Mobile A fix for some us who have issues with 8330 curve's GPS not playing nice, Download the trial, sign in, hide the app, and magically GPS can find satellites

4) Capture It Need to take a screen shoot of your berry, this app does just that!

5) QuickPull Tired of having to do a battery pull, let the software do it for you, and even schedule a time to do it! Free and paid versions are available.

Things have changed.....

Last week I had to do one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life. I had to put my Beagle to sleep. It killed me. I've never had to put a pet to sleep before, sure I had guinea pigs when I was a kid but, sorry that is in NO way the same. The last couple of day were HELL, taking her to the vet, not knowing for sure what was wrong, seeing her slip the last day was like someone shoving a stake in my heart. My wife of almost 10 years said she had never seen me cry, until then. The last couple of days I was trying to keep it together and be the optimist, thinking 'She has always surprised us before, she come around', but not this time. I told my wife the night before I wanted to give her a chance to see if she could kick it, The vet had told us that 'Possibly' it was a reaction to antibiotics that she was on. I got up that morning and I knew, it was time, I could see in her eyes, she was done.
