Krishna


 I am so excited to introduce Krishna, the kitten we got for Christmas. She is a female pure-bred Bengal, and she has my same birthday. For real!

She is so cuddly and soft and sweet!
Justin adores her. I'm starting to get a little jealous of the way he pets her while we watch Star Trek.
Krishna loves to explore and is very curious. Wesley, my animal-lover, chases her around and pets her and tries to pick her up. Michelangelo takes care of her and Francesca enjoys grabbing at her fur. She has gorgeous green eyes and a meow that sounds like a toy cat.
Having a cat around the house is very exciting. Me and Justin have wanted a cat ever since we've been married but our landlords never allowed it so now we have our own place we finally could own one. We found her on the classifieds at ksl.com, and when we went to meet her they told us her birthday and we knew it was meant to be.
I got the idea for her name from a character in a book series I read as a teenager called "The Last Vampire" By Christopher Pike. There are also many Krishna's in Hindu theology, here is one artists rendition of Krishna: 
I also felt it was an exotic-type name and she is an exotic breed of cat. The Bengal Breed was born from a domestic cat and an Asian Leapord Cat. This is an Asian Leopard Cat.


We love having Krishna and look forward to having her around for years to come. Cat Power!

Bathroom After Pictures


The entire bathroom remodel only cost about $75 total. It was fun, and good experience for my first room. I look forward to tackling many other house projects in the near future. Stay posted.  :)

Bathroom During Pics

Removing wallpaper is hard work. The paper tiger is now my friend. I actually liked the vintage aquamarine color I found behind the wallpaper. I wonder what year it was painted. Thank you Mark for helping install the laminate flooring.

Bathroom Before Pics

I don't think I'll ever understand the whole "carpet-in-the-bathroom" thing.

My Baby


She is getting so big! And the hair bows are too apparently.
