We're Expecting...

...to add a puppy into our home!!

Introducing Callie



She is half weimaraner, half black lab.


We learned of the litter of puppies from one of the IWU basketball players. After checking them out, we knew we wanted one. The litter had 7 pups, 5 male and 2 female. While the timing wasn't great, the owners agreed to hold her for us until we got back from our honeymoon. We are looking forward to puppy-hood and may need to pick up some training books for when we are sipping cocktails on the beach in Mexico!!!

2 More Weeks!

Justin and I are all smiles today because in 2 weeks we will tie the knot! We have spent the last week working our behinds off painting and shampooing carpets.

Painting...
Here are the highlights. I almost had a conniption because the paint looked pink, after 5 coats it was acceptable. We had to sleep two nights with no front door so Justin had to make a contraption to keep the bad guys out!

Shampooing...going good until I asked Justin to take the dirty scuzy water out to dump it. Just as I was asking SPLASH all over the first floor. ICK! Then, the next day when I went to do the next rooms the DARN thing wouldn't work...so, we proceeded to take it completely apart. We couldn't find anything wrong with it. Until we got to the handle. After we went Bob Vila on the the carpet cleaner we were able to sort of finish the house.

Here are some things I have learned.
A small project does not take one day to complete.
You will make 2-3 trips to a home improvement store.
Do not start more than one thing before the first thing is complete. (My self-diagnosed adult ADHD took over)

As for wedding prep...We got to talk to a very snippy government employee about our marriage licence. Why do gov. employees besides teachers get a free pass to be MEAN? We have finished our programs, and met with Jennie for the last meeting regarding our ceremony.
LOVELY
