Sick Doggy

Our puppy, Dakota, has been having issues this past month. We had to deworm her twice, then she went to get fixed at the SPCA and came home with Kennel cough. Kennel cough is like a doogy version of bronchitus. Its been really rough for both her and us. She coughed everytime she took a step and gagged after she coughed! Poor thing did not move for like a week and had trouble eating. But after some antibiotics and cough medicine she's doing a ton better now. She's not fully recovered, but the Aaron and Gina's comforting her while they were here, she's improved!

Family visit

So this past week my brother, Tracy, their son Connor, Tracy's mom Norma, and Tracy's twin sisters came up to visit for 3 days. We had a good time! The girls were interested in a lot of what a dairy has to offer. They did everything from milking a cow to looking for frogs! I got to spend a lot of time with my new nephew Connor! And Greg got someone to hang with (jeff). It was an all around good time and I can't wait for the next trip up here!

new car!

So Greg and I were not expecting to buy a new car when we went "looking" for one. We just went to test drive this dodge Charger when before we knew we fell in love. It ended up to have some great deals AND rebates so we went for it! As you well know I had a two door Scion TC that wasn't very large and eventually we would need a bigger car. Not to mention that Greg didn't fit really well in it. So we traded that in for a lager car and we love it!

Our Honeymoon!

So as you all know, Greg and I had to delay our honeymoon because of work circumstances and that we moved our wedding day WAY up. But finally after 4 months of marriage we got to enjoy our honeymoon! We went to Cancun Mexico at an all-inclusive adult-only resort. It was amazing! We enjoyed swimming with the dolphins, the spa, the pool, drinks and sleeping! Thats all we did and loved every minute of it! We would love to do it again in the future and recommend it to anyone who wants a relaxing vacation. The place was beautiful and so was the scenery. Except for the traveling part of it, everything else was a dream!

But before we went to Cancun, we got the opportunity to stop by and see some family! We went to visit with Tracy and Connor, missed Jeff :( but it was great to see how big he's getting and all the new things he's up to! Connor not Jeff :) He's doing great and lookin good! We also got to meet our newest niece Mya Grace Douma, Adri and Steve. And if you haven't seen her yet, she is beautiful! It was great to meet her although she slept the whole time 2 1/2 hours, and we didn't get a peek at her eyes. But she looks like an angel when she's sleeping! We're truly blessed that our family is growing so fast and all are happy and healthy!

Our New Life on the Dairy

As you all know, we got married just three and a half months ago, and our lives have changed dramatically. Not only have we moved 3 hours away from our family and friends, but our occupations have both changed drastically.



Greg is managing the dairy that we now live on. He is enjoying it and, comes to find out, has a knack for it. He has caught on to the many different things there is to know about running a dairy. For those of you who don't know him very well, this doesn't suprise any of his family or friends. Greg is extremly smart, and can do anything he puts his mind to. His hours are a little strange. He works on and off for the good part of the day. Some days he works 6 hours and other days he works 10. It all depends if something goes wrong or needs fixing. He loves being outside, and the odd hours don't bother him at all. We are thinking this will be a permanent career!



I (Megan) have also kind of changed my work. I am currently not "working" at the moment. I did hair down south, for those of you who didn't know, and succeeded at it. After the rush wedding planning and the big move i needed a break. Now I am really enjoying being a housewife. I still do hair and am gaining some clients, but I do it at my house now. When i am not doing hair, I do a ton of laundry, clean house, cook, and keep the house running smoothly. Its difficult to live so far away from everything (about 25-30 mins), so running errands is an all-day task. Anyway, I love it and Greg does too :)



At Christmas time we decided to get a puppy! Her name is Dakota, she is half lab and german shepard. We have been training her, and she gets better with every day. She goes out with Greg every morning and is very playful. She is adorable and we enjoy having her in our new little family!



For those of you who don't know this part, Greg has 5 brothers and I have 1 brother and 1 sister. Greg's #2 in his lineup and his older brother lives in New Mexico with his wife(Angie) and their 4 kids (Breanna, Bryce, Anneke and Elizabeth). It is great having neices and nehews and we have more additions! My brother and his wife Tracy had their beautiful baby boy (Connor) on Dec.24th! He is doing great and growing fast! Steve( brother #3) and his wife Adri are expecting their little girl any day now! Our family is growing and it's such a blessing!



So to wrap this up, we are enjoying our new life! We keep in touch with our old, great friends and are making new ones as well! Thank you all for the love and support, and we look foward to keeping you updated on our new lives!
