"Our Forever Family"

"Our Forever Family"
(4th of July, 2008)

Matt & I (Jenice) have been married since August 2001. We currently live in San Tan Vally (Queen Creek), AZ, with our 2 kiddos.

Matt is still working for Southwest Ambulance. He has also started online classes to continue his education.

I am happy being a stay at home mommy! I'm the Personal Progress Specialist as well as the Camp Director in our ward. I can't imagine life without Young Womens! (I probably just jinxed myself by saying that...)

We have both lost our minds, and somehow managed to get ourselves into running several Black Cat Firework stands around the valley. It's totally chaotic, but fun at the same time!

Amberlyn is now 7. She likes her dance classes, and loves playing with her friends. Denver, 4-1/2, misses his sister when she is gone, and shouts for joy when she comes back. He likes karate and playing with friends too.

That's our family! We'll keep you updated on our lives!

Giveaway!!!!

I chose that title so you'd read this. Technically is really is a giveaway. Let's start by saying that I am not a cat person. My mom is allergic, and I guess I just had bad experiences with cats as a kid. It's no secret to my husband that I dislike the feline variety. He knows I hate cats. I suppose little kittens are cute, but the problem is, they grow up to be cats! Scratching, shedding, pooping, peeing, clawing, smelly cats! (gee, I'm not bitter...) So WHY, pray tell, did my husband go searching Craigslist for a cat?!?! He said he saw an ad. In order to see an ad for a cat on Craigslist, you have to be looking for an ad for a cat on Craigslist. It's not something you just stumble upon. So imaging my surprise when he come homes from work on Sunday morning holding a little black & white kitten!
He claimed it was just so the kids could learn how to handle a pet. Right. He is a cat person. I think he just thought I'd fall in love with it once I got used to it. He was wrong.

He said it was litter box trained, but we don't have a litter box. So it went on a kitchen towel that Denver had left on the floor after cleaning up a spill. I suppose it's good with kids, although it (I say "it" because I don't know if it's a boy or girl, and I refuse to look. Matt thinks it's a he.) has not been de-clawed. I told him thank you so much for bringing this thing home, and getting the kids all psyched about it, and making me the bad guy because it can not stay. So we told them that we're just babysitting the cat. I suppose we're it's foster family until we can find a good home for it.

So...who wants a free kitty? First one to claim it (him?) wins!

4 People with something to say.:
