Back in March, Pat was able to have a free day of skiing with his Ad Lab buds. They are helping in an ad campaign and were able to get some free ski passes and a day on the slopes.
I was so happy he was able to go because ever since we have been married he hasn't been able to go. This is due to 2 main reasons. One, I have only been skiing once in my life when I was 7 years old. And two, it cost so much money.
I was happy he was able to rekindle his love the the mountains and take advantage of all the fun Utah has to offer.
On March 3rd we celebrated Pat's 26th birthday. It is amazing how time flies and how old we are becoming! I got him some gifts that were a total success which always makes me happy.
This is a Colorado jacket that Pat loved. He bought it during Christmas but returned it due to the cost. So for his birthday I went back to see if they still had the jacket and they did! And better yet it was on sale which made Pat happy as well.
Ever since we went to Yellow Stone National Park last year Pat has been on a quest for Motorcycle boots. He never could find the exact pair that he wanted, there was something always wrong. But leave it to Lindsay to find the perfect pair for him!
Later that night we went to eat Pat's favorite food, sushi, at Happy Sumo with our closest friends.
Doug and Mariah made time in their busy busy schedules to come which really meant a lot to both of us.
Of course the famous life long friends, Ben and Jared came. It wouldn't be Pat's birthday if they weren't there.
And Chris and Annie who have become our life long friends as well came to make the night complete.
After eating to our hearts conent Pat finsihed off this birthday with a scrumptious dessert and a tea light candle to blow out.
Pat, I love you and I hope you had a great birthday.
I know it has been a long time since I posted so the following posts will be an update on what has happened since February.
After I graduated I worked with at my old job as a part time graphic designer. They let me work while I searched for jobs, which was really nice of them. Well, I found a sweet job doing graphic design for a scrapbooking company, which is about a 2 minute drive from where I live. I couldn't be more blessed.
During my last week at work my boss was telling me about a commercial they were going to shoot and how they needed to find a ferret. My ears perked up and was glad to offer my ferret services for a commercial shoot.
However, they wanted a "traditional" looking ferret, aka not a white ferret like Frido, so they went to the pet store and purchased one knowing they wouldn't be able to return it. On the day of the shoot Pat and I brought Frido to work as an understudy, incase the other ferret got camera shy.
That day I found my calling in life as a "Ferret Tamer." I spent the whole day taking both ferrets on walks, getting them familiar with the set and actors, and helping shoot the commercial.
The commerical was a success after multiple scenes and shots. My company knowing they wouldnt be able to return the ferret for a refund offered me the new ferret I discovered I have a major problem—whenever someone offers me an animal my brain turns off and I automatically say "Yes" without thinking. So that day we came home with one more ferret.
After a weekend of potty training and trying to keep track of two ferrets I broke down and needed to find a new home for our new little ferret. It was fun to see Frido and her play but I couldn't handle how I felt like I was living in a Zoo. We found a friend of a friend who already had a ferret and was looking for another one. Everything turned out great, thank goodness. It was fun while it lasted, but once again Frido is the only child.
In the short time they were together they became good friends.
Me and my new found passion and future carreer as a Ferret Tamer.
In honor of Frido's one year anniversary with our family, I dedicate this post to him.
It has been a year of ups and downs, with him learning how to become potty trained, $100 visits to the vet and our trips to the park. However, as I have been spending more time at home I have become quite attached to our little guy. Through spending time with Frido, I discovered that he isn't like other ferrets, he is "special." Through observing his behavior over the past year and doing research on ferrets I found out that Frido is deaf.
You see, I have never been around ferrets and always just thought ferrets were unresponsive animals. However, it seems that ferrets usually do respond to sound and to your voice. It is also very common for white ferrets with dark eyes to be deaf (WHO KNEW!?). So I put two and two together, did some yelling tests and have proven our suspicions to be true—Frido is deaf. Nonetheless, this minor challenge makes us love him even more.
Here's to you Frido! May this next year be as good as the first!
