In the moment

I like this picture because I feel like our expressions are classic! Charlotte acting like a bratt, I am annoyed that Charlotte won't leave me alone and Martin is just watching her annoy me.

Colors

I absolutely love the colors in this picture from the Long Beach Aquarium.

Seals

I never knew seals were so boring. They really just lie around all day!

I passed

At the beginning of December I took a level 5/6 judges test. I can't wait to practice at meets this coming season so that I can judge on my own. I have been wanting to judge for years but never had the motivation to study and try the test. Thanks to Mika and Danica for all their help!

Funny story about the results. They sent out an email that said I failed. I was so embarrassed. The test was hard but you only had to get like a 70%. Then like half an hour later they sent out a second email letting me know that the previous results were incorrect and I passed!

New Sewing Machine!!!

This baby can sew through almost anything! I am a little intimidated by the thing. The motor is super strong and could easily sew through a finger!

I can't wait to start making seatbelt purses! I am so excited.

Dog Rescue

So we went on a road trip and came home with a dog. We were ate my aunts house and their dog was sitting out in the snow. The dog was nothing but skin and bones. So we asked if we could take her. They didn't want her and clearly weren't taking care of her so now we have a new dog. She is a German Short-haired Pointer and her current name is Sally. We want to call her Kiva. She is really thin so we are trying to fatten her up. She is really awkward because she has been neglected; she doesn't know what to do when she is in the house or walk on a leash. We think she is 3 years old but are not sure.

The we in this post refers to Ginger, Javier and I. Just wanted to clarify for some of the readers out there!
