Tuesdays with Amy and Todd

It's Tuesday! I know, not too exciting like a Friday. But Todd and I had a good day - Todd spent his day in Pierre for a work meeting, and I got to have lunch with my good friend Betsy (shout out to Betsy, who reads my blog!!) Betsy and I had lunch at Kristina's downtown and it was yummy, and the company was even better!

That's all I have for now! Happy Tuesday to everyone!!

Please Pray....

Please pray for my Dad (Richard Dziobecki) Justin and I went to visit him this week, and he is not doing well. He is not eating again, and not getting out of bed much. Justin and I were able to talk him into getting into his chair and going outside when we where there, that seemed to lift his spirits. He just seemed really down, like he had just given up. He has severe rheumatoid arthritis that has overcome his body, and every day he deals with more pain than we can even imagine. We are just doing everything we can to make his days with us as happy as they can be! Please keep him, and us in your thoughts and prayers as we go through these hard times. Thank you....

Yea!!! It's Friday!!! Things are well with us! We are both happy it's the weekend! This weekend we will have Mom, Dave and the kids over for dinner on Saturday - Amy will be cooking up some tacos & enchiladas! Ole! Other than that Todd & I will just spend some quality time together as we try and do every weekend.

We where very excited to hear the Abortion bill passed in the House and Senate - please keep Governor Rounds in your thoughts and prayers as he deals with this important issue!

Have a great weekend!

Todd & Amy

Just thought this was funny!!!

Anyone who knows me...knows I am a big time "emailer" I send them, forward them, receive them...and usually keep up to date on them! Anyways...this cartoon reminded me of me and made me laugh, and I had to share it!!!! So keep on emailing!

Presidents Day Weekend!

Whooo-hooo! Both Todd and I have a long weekend!!! Although so far we have spent most of the weekend in the house because it's been sooooooooooo cold outside!!! The windshields have been up to 30 below!!! We spent Friday night with delivered pizza and rented movies staying warm inside!

Today we spent some time at Debbie & Larry's to celebrate Melody & Steve's 2 year wedding anniversary. It was lots of fun, as always just being surrounded by friends and family! And as usual there were lots of baby talk, Misty is having a boy!!! She found out at her last ultrasound and they are super excited, they both wanted a boy! They are going to name him Jadon.

Todd & I are a volunteer prayer couple for couples involved in Engaged Encounter (EE). EE is a weekend long faith based retreat for engaged couples before they get married. While a couple is in EE they have a married couple praying for them the whole time. Todd and I learned so much about eachother during our EE weekend, and so we have volunteered for new couples!! Long story short, keep Brian and Michelle in your thoughts and prayers as they go through their journey of engaged encounter weekend!

That's about all for now - Grey's Anatomy is about to come on!!! and I am officially hooked to the show, so I will update you more on the exciting life and times of Todd & Amy tomorrow!!!

Palm Springs, Laguna Beach, Newport!!!

Well, I am back to South Dakota, just in time to make the next big snow storm!! At least I know I have a tan under all the clothing I have to bundle up in now that I am back home :o)

From visiting my favorite part of the beach at Laguna Beach, hiking in the Mountains, Riding the boardwalk on bikes to just spending time with a great friend....It was an amazing vacation!!!


I have TONS of great pictures...But I picked some of my favorites...

California!

Kimber and I are having a blast here in Sunny California! The weather is beautiful, it has been in the mid 80's all week! I think I am even getting a little tan (whoo-hooo!)

Leaving...on a jet plane....

Today is the day!!! I leave today at 6:52 United Flight Number 6638! I am so excited. Kimber and I are going to have a blast! I will take tons of pictures, that I am sure I will bore you all with when I get back! It's going to be hard to be away from Todd - this will be the first time since we have been married. I think he is looking forward to it, he will have dent in the couch by the time I get back....Anyways - California here I come! I will see you all when I get back - my flight comes in late on Monday the 13th!

Keeley's Baptism

I am proud to say I am officially the Godmother for Keeley Strom. I think she is the most beautiful baby girl...I am a little partial though considering she is my Godchild! She was baptized on February 5th, 2006. Now I have two Godchildren: Skyelar Martinez & Keeley Strom, I feel so blessed!

5 more days till Amy is away!

5 days and I am on my way to California to visit Kimber!!!! (and Chris too...lol) I am so excited! I get to see their new house, and Kimber and I are planning on going to Laguna Beach, which is one of my favorite places in the whole world...and also visiting Newport Beach, it's all going to be a blast! Most of all I will get to spend some time with one of my best friends, I miss her tons!!!

Todd is looking forward to me being away too, I believe his plans are to catch dinner with various family members, and then spend his evenings playing games on the computer all night if he wants too!!! I am sure him and the cats, will have lots of fun causing mischief while Mommy is away!
