Busy Busy!!

Sorry to leave you hanging these past couple weeks. Life has been blurring by! Here is an update on what's new for the Davenport's:

1) Dan turned 34 on Sunday!

2) I learned how to place PICC lines (central catheters) at work..very fun, however the first one was nervewrecking!

3) I got my official acceptance letter from ASU for my Nurse Practitioner graduate program. I start in August.

4) Dan & I joined a mixed martial arts (MMA) gym. We love it! I'm addicted to kickboxing. Dan loves the Jiu Jitsu. He looks really hot in his Gi. :)

5) We bought Lauren's playroom furniture. Very fun! I will post pictures soon. I just have to assemble one more piece.

Well, I need to go pick up Dan from work, we're having one of our cars serviced today, so we carpooled.

Have a great week everyone!

Our 8th Wedding Anniversary

Today is our 8th wedding anniversary! We celebrated last weekend by going to the J.W. Marriott resort here in town. We layed by the pool drinking Pina Colada's, laughed together on the lazy river, and enjoyed talking for hours around the fire pit at the outdoor Vista Lounge.

Above is the view from our room. Sorry, it's as far as my camera got this weekend. :)

My Porch

I was tagged by Seventh Diamond to post my porch...here it is! My door is always open to any of you!


When we built our home, I picked this design just for the porch. I am from Michigan where most homes have porches. I love to sit outside on my bench and watch the sun come over the mountains in the morning. We often have hot air balloons rising in the sky as well. It's a good spot to start the day with a cup of coffee and thank God for my many, many blessings.

West Fork Trail

The first weekend in June we headed for the West Fork Trail in Oak Creek Canyon, AZ. It's about a 1.5 hour drive from our home, but when you get here you feel like you are in a different world. This trail follows the Oak Creek and is absolutely beautiful. You can just feel the stress melt off as soon as you arrive. It is absolutely my favorite trail.


Shhhh...she thinks she's a Labrador, let's not tell her any different. :)

Incoming!

Well, another batch of referrals are on their way! Congratulations to all the families who are receiving their little ones faces in the mail this weekend! It looks like the referral cut-off was November 7th 2005. So, slowly but surely, we are moving up in line!

Dan and I are off for a weekend away to celebrate our 8th Anniversary! I will post more later. Have a great weekend everyone!

Seventh Diamond--Thanks for tagging me! I will post my porch soon! :)

Love,Wine, & Chocolate

We had such a nice date last night. We went to the new restaurant,"Sweet O". It's a wine and chocolate lounge. Need I say more... Afterwards we walked around the shopping area, watched the water show, laughed, held hands...I am so in love. :)
