Moved In! (Well, our stuff anyway!)

I tell you what, moving in a pain in the A$%! I feel like I have been kicked by a horse and I didn't even do the heavy lifting! The house is an absolute mess but we have all the time in the world to unpack. Well, not really. We both enjoy comfort so I am sure it will be a max of two weeks. But the painting may slow that process, who knows?!

All I can say is, thank goodness for friends! We had plenty of help and everyone was so nice about helping. The girls even helped me set up our bed, complete with bedskirt!! And since we have been living in the house since 3/3/08 on an air mattress… it's awesome that we got to sleep on a real bed again!

We did have a scare with our puppy Marty. We have a split-level house with stairs going up and down upon entry. He climbed out on a ledge through the wrought iron fence in the livingroom, tried to turn back around, and fell 10 feet to the stairs leading to the basement. Charlie rushed to get him and I quickly followed once I knew what had happened. He seemed like it knocked the wind out of him, but other than that he was unphased. No broken bones or signs of head trauma. Lucky little guy!

Sigh. That was scary.

But yeah, the move is complete. We still have to clean the apartment but the lease is not up until April so we are all good. Exciting times.

Meet Marty


Brent and I frequent a pet shop in town just for fun, I find it therapeutic to see all the puppies and watch them play. Well, today we fell in love. His name is Marty. He is a four month old Pom-Shi Tzu and is adorable. Marty will only be 15 pounds at the most so he is an ideal lap dog. He has a calm temperament but he is still playful as a puppy should be. He isn't potty trained yet so that should be a blast... but he is already part of our family.
