Keep checking in to see Chris' list....He doesn't know it yet but I tagged him to do this as well!

1. My greatest fear is going blind.....and I have no idea why.

2. When I met my husband in 2002 he told me I was too young for him.....HA!

3. I want to own a vineyard someday and make my own wine!

4. I speak fluent Spanish and I've been to Mexico 8 times. One of the times I camped in a tent in the dirt. There were tarantulas in our tent one night when we went to bed EEK!

5. I own the entire DVD series of I Love Lucy and watched every episode within 2 months. I still watch random episodes when I have nothing else to do.

6. Chris and I call each other Hony. It comes from a graham cracker made by nabisco sold only in Mexico and Puerto Rico that I love called Hony Bran... weird...I know!

7. I can read a 600 page book in a day.

9. I have never had a car payment!

10. I hate soda. All of it.

12. My favorite color is yellow.

13. I have 2 chihuahuas sleeping on my lap while I'm writing this :)

14. I grew an inch taller after I got married. Late bloomer I suppose :)

15. I sleepwalk and talk in my sleep.

16. I've moved 14 times. 13 of those times were before I was 11.

17. I've been known to skip church to watch football. Bad I know.

18. I live an hour and a half from the Oregon coast but the last beach I visited was in Malibu, CA. I think the last time we went to an Oregon beach was almost 2 years ago.

19. I like to go fishing. But only with my brother, he says I'm good luck!

20. My favorite animal is a penguin.

21. I love going to the dentist. I think it is relaxing...must be the memory foam chairs.

23. I am really dreading working the night shift when I first start as a nurse.

24. I've worn a $325 pair of shoes with a dress from Target that cost about $10...but they say one quality item makes everything else look better!

25. I am joyful-and not just when things seem picture perfect- always, because I know that God is in control of my life. It's a beautiful surrender and there is NO better loss than to lose myself in Him. Jeremiah 29v11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Exciting News - Revealed!!


Yesterday, Trista and I used a little bit of today's technology to announce something very exciting. We thought it'd be really fun to announce this virally - over the internet through FaceBook, MySpace, and BlogSpot. The wait is over, and yes the Slowik family is getting bigger with the addition of ANOTHER CHIHUAHUA! Sorry for the let down to all of those who were expecting a baby.

After Trista's Saturday five hour math class yesterday, she stopped by the pet store to pick up some stuff for Ruby and there just happened to be a dog rescue organization there called "All Terrier Rescue" with four nine week old chihuahua's up for adoption. Apparently, there was a breeder in New Mexico who was breeding far beyond her capabilities. A pregnant mother was one of the rescued and she had her litter while under care at the rescue.

Maybe it was from being in a state of confusion after a her five hour math class, but Trista though this would be a great idea! Even more surprising, was my agreeing to this. We had wanted another dog for about a year ago, in fact, about a year ago we bought one but then had to give it back because that dog was in pretty bad condition.

We have named him Diego and he weights a little over two pounds. Ruby is being slow towards acceptance, but they did play this morning so that's a good sign. We are very excited to have him!!! Here a couple videos and pictures:
