Sophie!

I haven't posted lately because I have been super busy. Between school; moving; and our brand-new, little pup, life has been moving in the fast lane. Sophie came to us Thursday around 6pm and captured our hearts about 6:09pm. She is 1-2 years (not quite sure) old and has had a litter of puppies this year. Sophie plays and runs everywhere and loves Brody and the toys he used to call his own. :o) We adopted her through Pup Squad and just love this little kid. If you come visit our new house, she will be super excited to welcome you.

This was one of the keys we received with our house. I gave it to my mom and her response was, "But I don't like cats." My dad's: "It's so...zazzy."

If you understand that reference, I am sure we are great friends! :o)

Ridiculous.

My parents came over to our new house to help unpack kitchen stuff on Sunday. Iris came with them and decided her favorite place is inside one of our cabinets. She stayed there all afternoon. Such a little stinker.

School is back in session...for the teachers! Yesterday was our first day, and I came home exhausted (probably from the anxiety of presenting for my peers, although it was actually fun by the end of the day!). I had to take a little power nap before I worked on packing. :o) Today is more training; hopefully I remember to take a picture of my new classroom to share!

Vegas :: the mini album!

I've been working on a Vegas mini album on and off this summer...I still have work to do on it, but I figured I would share it since it's getting packed up in a box and will remain unfinished for several more weeks. 

Hooray!!

We closed on our house!! Hooray! I'm trying to patiently wait for Friday afternoon, when we can actually get in. So right now we are anxious landlords for 40ish hours. But who's counting?

Someone's got a case of the Mondays...

Brody and Iris had some quality frog time this weekend.

Usually I'm not one to be bothered by Mondays, but today was brutal. Of course, I made it worse by wallowing in self-pity instead of just rolling with it. Brody did help me feel better when I got home. He licked my feet and wagged his tail super cute-like. Kind of gross actually, since he also licks my face with that tongue. Hmmm...

Tomorrow will be a better day though; it has to be--I'm on my last week of freedom here! And I use the term freedom loosely, as I'll be at school bright and early tomorrow for cub camp. And happy about it, of course!

I've got a pot of taco soup simmering on the stove and my new favorite devotional book to enjoy tonight. An adjustment of perspective is all I need! And a new episode of  the Real Housewives of New York generally makes me feel more sane as well...
