Puppy Fever



So, yeah, I have a major, overwhelming case of puppy fever. I think its because of all the extra time I've gotten to spend with my dog since we've been "snowed in"... Or maybe its baby fever expressing itself in a lesser, more financially viable form. Either way, now I'm going to show you some puppy pictures! HOORAY FOR PUPPIES!

My sweet Jack. Look how handsome that face is!

He's such a great dog! Australian Shepherds also come in miniatures! Can you believe it? All that fluff and cute smashed into a smaller package. Eeeeeeeeeeek!
Tom loves Basset Hounds, with their adorable floppy ears and short legs. To me, they all seem like they should be named Silas. Maybe next we'll get a big-eared, sad-eyed hound dog named Silas. 
 I imagine they sound like Copper from Fox and the Hound when they howl. Awe!

I have always liked large breed dogs because you can squeeze the crap out of them and they just love it and lick your face with giant tongues. I love the idea of having a dog that weighs more than I do. So I think I'd like to have a Great Dane like this freckled cutie! 
I don't know if you know this, but we used to have a German Shepherd named Flex. Tommy got him for his 18th birthday. Sadly, we lost Flex in the April 27th tornado. He was such a good dog. Look how tiny he was when we first brought him home!
He didn't stay that way for long!

And finally, there is always the trusty all-American canine sidekick: the Golden Retriever. Precious. 
Goldens and Aussies have very similar temperaments and I can just see them playing together so well! Jack needs a baby brother or sister! However, our 500 square foot apartment (along with Tommy) says otherwise. 

There are also times like tonight when Jackie is curled up quietly beside me and I think, "One is just right."

Hope you enjoyed the pup pictures! Have a lovely weekend!

He's feelin 22!!


I'm breaking my social media fast to tell my husband Happy 22nd Birth(yester)day! 

Last night we had brownies and secret conversation with sweet friends and Sunday I threw him a camping themed surprise party! 

I've been planning his party for about a year and, let me tell you, I am NOT good at keeping secrets from my hubby. He's my best friend so when I'm excited about something he's the first person I want to tell! But I was a good sneaky sneak and mostly pulled it off at the end. He was only a little suspicious when he saw all the extra cars at my parent's house. 



Happy Birthday, Mr. Awesome. I love you always. 

Special thanks to my parents, brother, and Emily for all their help!

Best Friend Date

I love my best friend! 
Today we went on a pretty scenic hike at Lake Nichol


We talked, climbed on the rocks, tossed pebbles, and dreamed of summer (thoughts fueled by the muggy 78 degrees) as we hiked all the trails that ran near the lake. It was so nice to spend a day with my BFF without any distractions.



We've got crazy eyes!
Afterwards we celebrated by eating lots of cheese and salsa at Lupe's, where gift cards are "abailible"
Thanks for inviting me out, Syd! It was sooooo fuuuuun! Love you!
