It's not just about the dog...

So the semester is OVER!  I started this blog as an assignment for class, but now I want to continue it.  In doing so, I am going to talk about our "family" more - not just little Emma.

One thing you must know - I am notoriously terrible about posting to a blog.  I have tried it before and it just didn't work...  but I'm really going to try this time.  I guess I just don't think our lives are that interesting.  We don't have kids and I'm a student.  Our day to day lives are pretty normal (at least I think so).  SO I will start off by "updating" I guess.

Little miss Emma is 8 months old now!  She is an incredibly small corgi - she looks like your normal 6-month-old would look like.  Yes, she still hops.  I just think she always will and I don't mind - just as long as it never becomes an issue for her.  It is a little funny to watch her run after her ball and trip over something.  she literally acts like nothing happened.

We still haven't gotten her spayed yet.  We're waiting till she is full grown at 9 months so we can get x-rays done at the same time.  We're praying that she won't go into heat in the next month...


Our Little Girl


Chad has been working away.  A couple of weeks ago he FINALLY got the transfer he had been asking for for months.  For those of you who don't know,  Chad has been working in Frisco since he moved back to Dallas.  It wasn't a big deal - until we got married and decided to live in Fort Worth.  He was driving one hour and 15 minutes each way.  When he had to be at work at 8 in the morning, he would have to wake up at 5:30 or 6:00 - yeah...no.  So he now works about 5 minutes from our apartment.  In fact, I pass his store on my way to school.  I used to drive if we went anywhere after he got home - since his commute pretty much sucked, but now mine is longer!  I'm just so happy he is closer to home and less stressed!  Of course we're still looking for fire departments, but it's just really competitive and not many are hiring!



15 hours.  That is all that separates me from a Bachelor's degree.  I am unbelievably excited.  Not too sure what I'm going to do after school.  Some things I have thought about are portfolio school, graphic design school, an MBA or just working.  I really have no idea.

This week has been insane with Christmas and with Travis getting married this weekend.  I have been shopping non-stop and now is no exception.  Today eyebrows, shoes, and nail polish are on the list.  I have an appointment at 4:00 so I'm going to run.  I hope to get another post in before the wedding, but no promises!

Until next time!
