Erin, a homemaker?!?

At the end of October I took on the task of dog sitting and house sitting for Stacy and Brad who have ventured off to England due to a job opportunity through Stacy's company. I will helping them out for at least 9 months, if not longer, depending on what happens with Stacy's job. So far, it has been going well and the dogs have been lots of fun. I have the unique opportunity to "try out" homeownership and dog ownership without the long term repsonsibilities.

Rex in his usual spot. He is male and about 8 years old. He is your typical dog, loves to lay around all day and LOVES his food.

Emma in her usual spot. She is female a bit younger (4 years I think). She's a great runner and has done the 3.6 mile loop around the house with me quite a few times.

Rex with a funny look on his face.


I tried to get a picture with both dogs sitting still -- not an easy task. Here I had to taunt them with a treat.

Vegas!

The NAR convention was in Vegas this year and we were lucky enough to be able to join in on the festivities. We had a great time with the usual Vredevoogd-Combs silliness.



Our parents suite was amazing...it even had a player piano. Leah had a great time posing on it!



The Vredevoogd's at dinner.



We went to see the Cirque de Solei show "Love." It was all set to Beatles songs and it was amazing! I loved it!!



Brian and I decided to take a quick trip to Venice. Just kidding! The Venetian had an indoor shopping area with real canal and a feaux ceiling. It looked so real!
