Baptism & Introducing Junior to the kids

Yesterday on my first year anniversary with Johnny, I also got baptized. It was my first time getting baptized during my Christian walk. It was exciting. All my good friends and family came out to witness my dunk. Will share pictures later.

We went to Chili's afterwards for lunch. It was a late lunch but it was YUMMY tho. I had my normal burger bites with fried onions and japaleno sauce. After lunch, the kids and my family came to my house to meet Junior and play with him for a while. We didn't know exactly how Junior would react to sooo my strangers, but overall he did well. He was shy at first but then he openned up. I think Junior was a little afraid of Keegan - he ran up to Junior and he took a step back and hide around the corner. Seeing Junior interacting with others makes me think we made a good choice out of his liter. He was able to mingle and hang with the kids - especially with Keegan.

It's Been a Week - Today is My Anniversary & Baptism

For the last week, Junior has been a pretty good kitten for us. He sleeps majority of the day with Johnny just hanging around the coach area. But there are certain nights where he is just a crazy. He runs from one side of the living room to the other - non stop. He does this for hours until he gets tired again and then crashes out again. All he does is - eat, sleep, run around, and goes to the restroom.

Every night - we would hear him cry outside of our bedroom door but I refuse to let him in. I don't think our bedroom is a place for a pet. Besides - he is just a pet, not an actual person. Once morning comes, I wake up and check on him. Cuddle with him for about 5 mins just to hear his purr..... and get ready for work.

Today - Johnny and I celebrate our first year of marriage. This weekend was just eating. On Friday, he surprised me with a seafood dinner where he made me baked halibut, bread crumb shrimp, and italian seasoned crab. Yesterday, I co-hosted with 5 other girls, Yvonne's baby shower. It was at her house and it was a good mellow time to see her enjoy her time of mingling with friends and opening her strom of presents she received. At night, Johnny and I had dinner reservation over at Manresa. It was good & long dinner. The Manresa chef recently appeared over at Iron Chef and competed with Bobby Flay and WON. Overall - it was a good dinner. We had the 4 course meal and it lasted about 2.5 hours. We started off with a fried bean stalk wrapped with salted fish on the top, potato churro with a fried seasoned leaf (Tasty), and poached egg served in the egg shell (My Favorite). Those were our appetizer that they threw in.
Our first course (Mine & His), root veggie & peas risotto and green pea soup. Our 2nd course, bass (very good) and cod. Our 3rd course, lamb (smelled very good) and beef. For dessert, flavor of New Orleans (I'm not a sweet person) and a strawberry type dessert.

Today is also my baptism too. For the longest time, I've been thinking about getting baptized. Since today it also falls on our anniversary day. I decided to just do it.

Meet Junior (Kitty)

Meet Junior - name after Dale Earnhardt Jr. (Johnny is a huge NASCAR fan)

For awhile now, Johnny and I have been debating about getting a dog for us to raise. Our choice was suppose to be a English Bulldog. But when we were looking at the prices, we thought it was a little much for a dog. I always thought the negative point about getting a dog is destroying our living environment and having our place smell like dog. So for the past few weeks, we decided to look at other options.

For the past couple weeks we have been going to the local animal shelter to look for a kitty or a young cat. Finally, Friday we went to the Humane Society Satelite location at Petco to look at their available kitties. Yes - we found one. We named him Junior after Dale Earnhardt Jr. Johnny is a huge Junior fan. Our Junior is only 2 months ago and 2.7lbs.

Since this was our first pet, we had to go around Petco after the adoption paper were signed we had to walk around Petco to buy all the stuff for him. When we left the facility, associate told us that we need to keep Junior locked up in his spot for a week. When we got home, he came out of his carrier with no problem and openned up on his spot and environment. By the first night, he was well adjusted.

Overall, he's a very good kitty. Over at Petco today, there were three other kitties to chose from. Two out of the three had a cat conditional - polydactyl. So his siblings - one had seven toes and the other one had 6 toes.
