Update in pictures!

So I've been a little off kilter with out my computer and couldn't upload pictures with out, therefore could not truely update you in my life...so with the computer fixed...and the pictures loaded i will do my best to update you on some exciting and maybe not so exciting things in my life! But hopefully we can stay on top of this whole update you on my life thing, and bring you just a litte closer to me and my life here in cincinnati, where i know you all want to visit!

My good friend Luke recently got a puppy! His name is Silas, (i helped pick out his name, and being true to his name he is a very good companion). I love this little guy like he was my own, but he's not so i get by by being the puppy nanny, and spoil him rotten.  Although as of late i'm missing my probably not so little guy. In this picture Luke had just gotten him, and he is only 11 weeks old, and probably about 14 pounds, now he is about 25.  Silas is a rescue puppy, and is part lab, part alaskan husky, and maybe some chow, were not sure. But he is sweeter than a button, and already, sits, lays down, and shakes, were working on the roll over thing. He truely will put a smile on your face, and he still has yummy puppy breath, so it's fun getting kisses from him!

Me and Silas just hangin' out!

Next up, I went to Ball State to visit my cousin Ashley. She is working on her Masters! She is just "a girl living in an apartment tryin to get by" Actually i would say more than getting by!  Her apartment is super cute! It was so much fun for us to just hang out and get to know eachother better! We shall i say remet about 2 years ago at thanksgiving we hadn't seen eachother since we were babies. We had a blast going out to eat at a fun little place i think it was cajun food! and then rented a movie and cozied up with what else but a girls best friend, some oreos and other assortments of junk food! The next day we slept in, laid in bed and chit chatted and then watched another movie, and then went and met some of her friends, at a drag show that ball state was putting on, it was very interesting to say the least, then we went out for drinks and apps!

So excited i get to see this girl in 2 weeks!

Me and Ashley and our Junk food, this is just the beginning mind you!

We can't leave out Halloween! I at the last minute called up a friend to see what she was doing, and but of course there was a halloween party to attend, and I had to come up with a costume. My Aunt Amy had called me earlier to tell me that she had dressed up as me for halloween...a nurse. So I decided to be her in highschool.  Some gave the name flash dance. But whatever you call it, it's just more fun, when your dressed like this!

Since the roomies were MIA on Halloween we had our fun the night after and got all gussied up and went out for some random adventures! Cari's little sister made it down for fun with what Jessica's Fiance's co-worker calls The Bikini Team.  Hey i'll take it!  He meet us for the first time this night, and were not so sure if he can handle all of us, at least not with some back up from Landon.

Jessica, Cara, Leah and Cari....lovin our halloween themed Jell-o shots!

Introducing....ELLA ABIGAIL RUTTER!

We waited and waited and waited the whole nine months for this little, girl, we cried, and prayed, and laughed the whole nine mo. For this little girl, and we continue to do so. She arrived at approximately 8:30 Wed Nov. 5th, 2008. To proud mama Christina! She was 5 pounds 6 ounces...and were on sure of the length...i guess 21 inches...although i'm sure this is 2 long for this little bean!

Me at my happiest with a baby in my arms...and who wouldn't be happy with Ella Bean!

                   Jessica, Mama, Ella bean, and Me!

Please Pray for this little girl, she needs lots of it. The night after she was born she was having problems coughing up some phlem, which she had also had trouble with earlier in the day. She was also breathing very fast, so they took her to the Intensive care nursury. There they discovered she had what is called Tracheal Esophageal Fistuala, or TEF and Esophageal Aphasia. Long story short her esophogus did not connect to her stomach. She was quickly transfered to the RICNIC and Cincinnati Childrens Hospital, where they are taking very good care of her. She had Surgery on Friday, Nov. 7th, where they connected her esophogus to her stomach. She is currently still in the Intensive Care unit, and is fighting hard. Pray that she would come through this, like we believe she can, for her Mom and Dad as they watch their little girl, for there other son they have at home, pray for peace, and healing. Your prayers are felt, and appreciated!

In other not so sad news....

I got to see my baby brother and sister this last weekend! I drove up to Chicago on friday morning after i got called off on Thursday night...it was wonderful!

I left Cincinnati at about 9:30 and went and had lunch with my grandma at our favorite place, in the town square. Then it was on to Chicago, where i suprised my cousins...they didn't know we were coming, then i waited patiently for Nate and Danae to get there, and watch them suprise my cousins! On Friday we got pizza and just hung out with the cousins, thrown them around and such. On Saturday it was crazy bowling and more just hangin around, and sunday it was church, and then a day full of shopping! And back to cincy on Saturday!

The whole gang goofy bowling! Not pictured Aunt Amy, Uncle Dirk, and Uncle Scott who also dressed up.

Thrown some kids around...i got a work out both nights at this house, i came home just a little bit stronger!
