Happy Friday!
So, the other morning I was trudging along doing my usual routine of coffee, puppies, Facebook Pinterest and Instagram when I saw this quote:
For some reason this resonated with me. My husband travels for his work so he's gone a great deal of the year. Through trial and error we have learned when he is home we make the most of that time. We don't always get birthdays, holidays or even anniversaries together. So, the house may not get cleaned or the laundry may pile up but we are spending time watching movies, playing with our pups, going to dinner, traveling or just doing absolutely nothing...just trying to spend time together the best way we can.
Now don't get me wrong, it's not a princess fairy tale over here and everything is peachy all the time. Sometimes I really get very frustrated when he's home disrupting my schedule getting in my way, not doing things "my way". He knows it and we laugh about it... now. But that's what a marriage is all about, right? The good and the bad all whipped together?
So, I guess this quote means, to me, the grass is greener when we pay attention to it. Watch it. Spend the time to pull the weeds from it. Water it.
Have a great weekend!

Happy Monday!
I thought I would start out this week introducing the latest addition to our family.
Meet Sadie. I know, she looks like a beagle but with a lift kit. We were told she's a Tree Walker Hound. Now, I must say, when I told Mr. I was ready to start "looking" at getting another dog, I wasn't looking for A) a puppy or B) a hound. We visited our local SPCA and found her there with her brother, Olaf. The last 2 pups from a litter of 4 and Mom just brought in a few days before. Just look how precious she is, just imagine how cute the other pups were??
Little did I know what I was getting myself into with this cute little hound. We hadn't been in puppyville in a LONG time and forgotten most of what we knew. We decided to give it a chance, I mean who could resist that face, right??
It's been 3 months and let me tell you, it's not been easy but it has been very rewarding. She's in training, or rather I'm in training, with a professional and we are doing well. We have our good days and our bad but I've learned patience and consistency are the keys to a happy dog and a sane owner.
Don't worry you will be seeing lots of her on here. She's just too precious not to post pictures!!

Man, I've really been out of touch. It has been a long time since I popped into this little spot, so I think it's time for a quick update... finally! There have been numerous times Mr. asked if I were still blogging and I'd say, well I'm hoping to get back soon, but never seemed to "get back".
I've have so much to catch up on. Despite not selling our home, 2014 seemed to fly by quicker then I wanted but filled with lots of great adventure. We are regrouping and hoping to put our home back on the market this Spring. Wish us luck!!!
So, I'm going to give this a chance. I will try to catch up on 2014 and hopefully 2015 will be just as exciting.
