Gus' first Cashmere

The Three Dog Bakery is going out of business and we got a steal on a sweater for Gus. You can't beat cashmere at 60% off, and since he is a Kruse, he needs an argyle sweater for golfing on brisk days. These pictures were taken with my crappy camera phone, but you can see how the blue really brings out his eyes...

The Big Break (In)

We were robbed! No - we didn't not place in America's Got Talent, we were actually robbed. Yesterday someone broke into our house and stole our watches, my jewelry (including my engagement ring), my camera, and other small items. So while I can't show pictures of our ransacked bedrooms, I will tell you - we are PISSED! Apparently the guy took Ryan's business credit card and bought gas, a necklace at a jewelry store (to go with the beautiful new ring he recently acquired), and stuff at Wal-Mart. Good thing he's not that bright because they have him on surveillance videos at the jewelry store and Wal-Mart. Apparently he's 5'6"ish, heavy-set, has long, dark, curly hair he wears in a ponytail, and drives a late 80's white Camero. Be warned Camero drivers with bad hair - the Kruse's are on the look-out! We'll keep you posted...

Side Note: After dealing with my car accident and this I must say that the Phoenix Police Department has really proven themselves to be top-notch! We are so grateful to have them on our side!

Better Late Than Never...

I know, I know!  It's been WAAAAY too long since I've updated this!  Surprisingly, not that much has happened.  The best thing has been our trip to Albuquerque to visit our friends, Jamie and Dave.  The weather was great - the sun shined, the rain poured, the wind blew, the temperatures were chilly at night, perfect during the day! What more could a Phoenician want at the end of an Arizona summer?!  We got to play cards, grill out, and golf!

Next post will be much quicker, I promise!!!

Opening Ceremony

Last Friday was the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympics and we celebrated with an international potluck.  Here are Ryan and I as the host country, China!

There were lots of other countries represented - here are Italy, Belgium, and Poland:

Gus won the gold in cuteness!

Summer's Over

It's official! Summer has come to an end for one Kruse. I went back to school today! It's almost a welcomed relief to have a schedule once again, not have an excuse to do nothing but eat and drink once again, and start my annual countdown until school's out once again!

The other Kruse refuses to give up! Ryan has one more golf tournament scheduled in Fort Wayne next week. Though he didn't win any trophies on his last 2 visits, we're very optimistic for a win. (Not an actual trophy to store for reliving glory days when we're 80, but a win!)

I just can't seem to keep my nieces off this blog. First Ava's surgery and now Julia's first stitches.









I love this child dearly, but my first reaction was to bust out laughing. She ran into a door at day care. This probably wouldn't have been quite as funny if I hadn't seen her run down a hallway earlier in the week and simply forget to stop, throwing herself into the door at the end of the hall.

Other than that, nothing exciting to report. Ryan's been out of town for most of the summer. He went to play in golf tournaments back in Indiana. So in the mean time, I've just been hanging out, steering clear of public transportation. Hopefully more to report next week!
