Cutie Pie


I love this puppy. She was entertained by my old tooth brush for like 20 minutes. Animals are such cute things. I love coming home and having a welcoming committee :)

Four Months

I really cannot believe how quickly time flew. I feel like we've been married for 5 years, certainly not 4 months (in a good way). Since we have gotten married we've had a packed life: disney adventure, back to work, deciding to switch job locations, moving, unpacking, renovating, renting a 16 y.o. for the summer, NH/ Maine, getting a puppy, training a puppy, trying to turn said puppy into decently behaved dog, football, back to winter hours, welcome parties, and just life in general.

I've posted on how our wedding day went (wonderfully) and what is different about marriage (nothing). I feel as though today deserves a special theme too. I remember laying up at 11 pm, the night before our wedding, trying to come up with respectable vows that would not be 100% predictable and corny, and instead meaningful and representative of what I brought to our relationship, practicality and fore planning :) My vows were what Brian can expect from me, what I expect from him, and what I expect from us as a couple. I wish I had my copy now, as I would probably retype and analyze, but maybe at 6 months or a year :)

Anyway, I find the wedding vow I fall back on the most is when we do disagree, is the line about "if you have quarrels that push you apart, may both of you hope to have the good sense to take the first step back."I'll be the first to admit I am horrible about this but trying to work on it. But it is my favorite line, because I have vowed to do it and have many years to continue to try...59 and 8 months at least :)

These are a few of my favorite things

curtains made from rehearsal dinner table cloth!
singing washing machine/drier
mermaid art wall and polka-dotted piggy bank
homemade milk shakes
last but not least our little family :)


I've had this song stuck in my head all week, so I figured I would pick some of my favorite things in my life...
