Bella got JUMPED

Yes, my dog (whom we re-named Bella) got eaten by two other dogs last week. Luckily, she survived and after spending a week in her bed, she's back to her old self- for the most part. Ross took her over to a friends house and their two dogs jumped on her and treated her like a chew toy. The dogs were so fierce, Ross even got bit on the ear. She was so scared, she pooped all over herself and she had bite marks all over her. I cannot believe this happened to our dog...she is now afraid of all dogs and wants to stay inside...we need to work on that since she is going to be 80 pounds.

Matt & Kiva's Wedding

Last night we went to Kiva and Matt Mann's wedding in Houston. It was so great to witness these two great people get married. It was also a blast from my college past getting to catch up with all the old gang. It's weird to see people with two and three kids and then to not even recognize others. An evening away from Huntsville with great friends was just what we both needed. Here are some photos.

Introducing....our dog!

We got a dog this morning! Coming out of the Walmart parking lot, I spotted a 'Free Puppies' sign. When we got there all 5 pups where there. We got the pick of the litter with this little sleepy girl. She is just too funny because all she wants to do is lay around outside. We had to sneak her in while she was sleeping...we'll see how it goes when she wakes up. Don't you love her? Her name is Fender. We came up with the name a few years back.

Sunday at the Lake

Last weekend, Aunt Joan, Mom, Bow, Tracy, Jack and Emmylou came out for a day of fun on the lake. Here are a few pictures:

Time to Start Updating this blog...

Well, we've been in Texas for 4 months. I never realized how I only blogged at work until I got a job where I don't have downtime. We've been busy with work and fixing up our house. This is our house: (My Grandma came to visit from Pennsylvania)

The house was in serious need of paint and new flooring. The walls were painted white 23 years ago and haven't been painted since...you can only imagine how dirty they looked. The orange carpet was originally dark brown and covered the entire house (including the upstairs bathroom--gross!). This is me laying down the laminate flooring in the living room. Ross also changed the direction of the stairs in our living room. Special thanks to my mom who is the best darn painter around! She's been a huge help! It's still a work in progress, but we are really enjoying it. Here she is from the outside...It's amazing what you can get in Texas vs. Colorado!
