My latest weakness... Decided to post it in case anyone was wondering what I wanted for Easter or Memorial Day. Or whatever holidays are coming up...

When Gordon and Britney go out of town we watch the dogs. They are so much fun!
John usually holds Charlie (the boston terrier) cause she is smaller and can easily relax, but I told him he needed to hold Lucy cause she feels left out.
And it's funny to watch Charlie get jealous. She is such a diva! She's the drama queen that always needs to be comfortable and fights for attention. If she doesn't get it from you then she holds a grudge, ignores you and won't look at you. Lucy is big and sweet. When she first comes in the room, she comes right up to you and puts her face in your face and won't move. She loves giving kisses. They both do. I won't let them, cause it makes me itch, but John loves their kisses. He'll let them kiss him all day long.
Lucy has some anxiety and it's hard for her to just relax
It's fun to watch John with them. He really loves them. He lived with them when he lived in Gordon's house with him a few years back
John and Lucy did some wrestling. Not a lot though- Lucy has a bad hip.
We took them on a couple walks that day. All we have to say is "walk" and "park" and they go crazy with excitement.

Unbroken: A World War 2 Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption
I just finished this book, and I loved it! John talked me into reading it because he had heard great things. Kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. It's written by Laura Hillenbrand. Here's a brief synopsis:
"On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared. It was that of a young lieutenant, the plane's bombardier, who was struggling to a life raft and pulling himself aboard. So began one of the most extraordinary odysseys of the Second World War.
The lieutenant’s name was Louis Zamperini. In boyhood, he'd been a cunning and incorrigible delinquent, breaking into houses, brawling, and fleeing his home to ride the rails. As a teenager, he had channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics and within sight of the four-minute mile. But when war had come, the athlete had become an airman, embarking on a journey that led to his doomed flight, a tiny raft, and a drift into the unknown.
Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, a foundering raft, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will. "
The book also talks about how he grew up with no religion in his life. Then on this crazy adventure of his he starts to pray and develops faith in God. It's incredible! He's a great man.
Quote by Louis Zamperini: "Life is about experiencing all the things you find interesting and fascinating. Just get out there and experience as much as you can. Participate in life."
