Camp = :(

This week is not a fun one in our household! Shawn left for a camp detail on Friday and won't be back til late Thursday night! I do okay for the first couple days, but by Sunday, I'm BORED OUT OF MY MIND! I have cleaned every inch of this house...twice now and I've gone through too many to-do lists to count! I need to stay busy with something, so blogging it is!
The next few days will be busy for me, as this week is deadline for the September issue, and hopefully by the end of the week, we will have a location for the day spa. However, this is not the first time we've hoped this, it just seems to be a longer process than we'd like! BUT we WILL get there! And once we do it will be great!
It's going to be called "Dolce Vita Day Retreat", and we will have massage therapy (of course), facials, hair, nails, hypnotherapy, hcg weight loss, spray tanning, image and wellness coaching, a mini bistro, and my project for the last couple weeks has been creating our custom skin care and mineral make up line! I've got the skin care done and I'm trying out the products on myself (in case something goes horribly wrong) heehee! The website is up and running if anyone wants to check it out! www.dolcevitadayretreat.com ! I can't wait for the day that I can post a blog titled "We're finally open for business"~~~
I miss you all and hope all is well in your homes!
Love,
Cortney

A Day In The Life...

Hey everyone!
Since finishing the blog, I've been taking a TON more pictures. Everything we do, I think, "I should take some pictures and post them!" :) Ya'll might not think they're as cute and exciting as we do but here are some pictures of our babies!

Here is Reggie! It's kind of a weird picture...he's a grumpy old man these days and it a bit camera shy so he was just getting up to go hide in the kitchen when I snapped this one.

This is Stackhouse trying to get Zoey to play with him! She was tuckered out and just wanted to sleep and he wasn't taking no for an answer!

This is my favorite! Zoey LOVES to chew on everything and when we play with her she rolls onto her back and chomps on our fingers! Shawn says she looks like a bat in this picture, but I think she looks like "Stich" from Lilo and Stitch :) haha!

She can be so mean one minute and then the next she gives you this look and you can't possibly be mad! :)

This one cracks me up as well! This is Shawn and Stackhouse watching ESPN. It's not a pose...Stack would sit like that forever if Shawn would let him, but it's already warm down here in Arizona without a huge dog in your lap! :)

Recent Picture...

I have searched high and low for a recent picture of Shawn and I, and on the rare occasion that we're both in the picture together, one of us is doing something strange... So, I chose one of my favorites. The look on his face is priceless. This was on our last visit home to Idaho (Shawn was learning how to rope!) :)

Good Luck Christal!

I feel like a crappy friend! I just checked my myspace page last night and discovered that my dear friend Christal sent me a comment on June 17th and I somehow missed it! Christal and I worked together and Rosetta Assisted Living while I was attending Massage Therapy School and while Shawn was away at the Border Patrol Academy. She is one of the funniest people I know but also the most genuine! Christal recently signed on with the army as a nurse (which she will be fabulous at) which she went into July 11th! Good luck girl! We'll be praying for you! <3

Little Miss Zoey :)

I was just uploading these fun pictures from my phone and thought I'd share them. This is Zoey, our newest addition to the family. She's spoiled... :) We brought her home on July 9th, 2009

2 Years Together <3

Earlier this month, on the 7th, Shawn and I celebrated our 2nd Anniversary. I can't believe it's already been that long. Time sure flies! It was a good time for us to look back on everything we've been through together, and wow! There's been so many trials and triumphs. I truly feel blessed to be married to my best friend and look forward to many more years with him!

We're baaaccckkk! :)

I know, I've been terrible at this. Recently I've been missing home BADLY, and decided i need to take advantage of these online tools to help keep in touch with everyone we don't get to see as much as we'd like!
It's been nearly a year since my last post, which means that a LOT has happened, but I'll keep it breif for the readers sake...
Shawn is still working for the Border Patrol, and loving every second! Not to mention, he's really great at it! :)
I am currently working for Pinal County Lifestyles magazine in advertising sales and will be opening a day spa very soon! :) It's going to be called Dolce Vita Day Retreat! Check out our website:

We still share our lovely home with Reggie, our 12 year old Charpei/German Shorthair cross, and Stackhouse, our 3 year old Pit Bull (who thinks he's a human), but we've also added a new addition to the family... her name is Zoey!
Zoey is a pug and she was born May 19th, 2009! She's a tiny little thing (but growing every day) She's super cute and we love her!

I promise I'm going to get better at this posting thing...at least 3 times a week (maybe more for special news) We love you all and can't wait to see you!
