Soo..finally we got the pictures done i am debating if i will be able to handle the rest..that being the weight i have gained recently due to the stress of work and life...all is well though todays my first day of diet!!!!! Starting tonight I am putting my goal of 30 pounds and thwn well go from there...Its my final week of this overloaded schedule....i am soo releived you just dont even know. Anthony is really looking quite well in his pictures he always dropped off pounds and pounds come the summer...he is soo lucky to have that gift....i certainly wish i possesed such powers...well heres my sneak peek to all and i hope ya'll enjoy.....i will adjust to the shock as it settles in.....lol...love to all ttys

Do these black circles and bags under my eyes make me look tired or is it a trendy look??...jk

Soo yes i am officially trying to double up on the shifts...i am completely regreting this choice now...oh yes indeed. However, its for a good cause and i am looking toward the payoff..i only hope the misterious realtor EVENTUALLY calls me back.lol.

Life in the Finney household is always eventful..still working on potty training...it'll happen eventually ..i hope:}. My husband Anthony is doing very well he still complains about his cranky old customers in fountain hills,az. They are very funny to hear but being there while it actually happened wouldnt be very fun. McKenzie is well..her latest funthing to do is coloring on everything..not fun. That and dumping fish food and foreign objects in the fish tank is always a delight..no worries candi if your reading this Cougar is doing great..he only swims upside down and to the left now...but hes just dandy as could be..hehe..jk We have a new member of the family now..His name is Rambo...he's a real killer. NOT . Anthony came home with a stray puppy Last Wendesday..he is a pure bred reservation dog...lol...comes complete with mange and only vision of right eye...hes a real looker..let me tell ya!! he puts all the other mange-y reservation dogs to shame. No but really he is coming a long way he is putting on a lot of weight and starting to fill out. When he first came to us you could count every bone on his body..poor thing. He is starting to play and he is always wags his tail. More or less he is soo happy to be with a family that loves him and overall is starting to enjoy life.

My friends are all well..candi is great...she is ..let me tell you...absolutely the greatest person and really..if you dont mind me saying so..quite the looker...lol..loves ya candi!!!! sorry for the pic i need a better one of us more up to date and me not looking so ragged due to the major bowling that took place that night..well love to all and ttys andeeleigh

the Rockie dog....lol

CROSS YOUR FINGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well i had the courage to talk my mom and she said yes!!!!!!!Now we have to see if she'll get approved...OH PLEASE LORD!!!!!!! I cant wait until i find out i really hope that it'll come through. Oh and in other compelling news my daughter got a peice of candy stuck in her nose.. oh and yes guess what the candy was called..a smartie....oh yes that will be one i tell the night of her first date. Oh yes my daughter..the great illusionist..not. I notice that as more she does that she knows she isnt supposed to do..she blames it on out dog Rockie. He is a yellow labrador, And as i watched Marley and Me i just had to be grateful that my lab is soo good..only he runs a little funny..but i really love him. I think that Labs are the best kind of dogs around, they are loyal they only want to please and they are soo great around kids. well I will write soon..hey candi I remembered!!!!!!!!!!!hehe

Well i really hope that i get our home in Anadarko,ok. its a beautiful home 4 bdrm. 2 bath brick home, really nice and clean..NOT FALLING APART!!!! yeahh and its 55,000.00..just the right price. We love the fact that wer close to our friends and family..however..the crime and neighborhood we are in is enough to make anyone crazy. Were both looking forward to relaxing and listening to the crickets at night. Not too mention that we will have a lot of family really close that are really fun and good people to be with. I really cant wait until were back in a small town...BUTTTT..i will really miss all my friends and family.
Its interesting that you can be raised in such a big enviroment in the city, and fall in love with the small town so fast. Its one stop light and that sound of the wind between the tall grass just at sunset..nothing like it. Not too mention that i really want to raise my daughter in it as well..i dont want to worry that she late getting home because shes missing and never to be found. Well christmas was wonderful and Mckenzie had a wonderful time. We had 3 christmas's and really enjoyed the time that we spent with family. More importantly the time that i had to spend with my husband and daughter. Good Lord i love my family....sooo muuccchhhh.
New years eve was great we had all of the needed fun..lol..we played candyland, drank sparkling cider, and banged the pots to ring in the new year..anthony got a little embarrassed and turned out the porch light...lol...we all laughed soo hard...it was soo fun..il never forget it.

Between visits to the zoo and movie nights and WORK my usual week..life is good its sweet and im loving every minute. ttys
