oh, yeah..

So I haven't posted in a while. It's been a busy few weeks. J and I are busy getting our house ready for a party next weekend, and he hasn't been feeling well. Oh, and we got a dog.


Her name is Maya and we got her from a shelter in W.V. She was going to be put to sleep and once we saw her on petfinder, we just couldn't let that happen. She's approximately 1 y.o. and she is really very well behaved. She's still a pup and she's still learning the rules. However, my dear hubby started getting what we diagnosed as anxiety attacks once she came home. He's doing much better, but the only reason we have come up with for these anxiety attacks is that he had a Siberian Husky for 12 years and she had to be put to sleep a few years ago. It was a very difficult experience for him and we figured that Maya was bringing back memories of his dog.

But, we've all been healthy for a few days now and we're confident that will continue. Maya has brought us closer together. We take her for walks together and have something else besides ourselves to talk about now. The new responsiblility can be daunting, especially when we start discussing going on a trip or such, but we're excited to have a new member to our little family.

Ok, have I talked about my dog enough?

Other than that, I've just been busy with work and taking care of Maya and J. Looking forward to the upcoming holidays. We are hosting Thanksgiving this year, there will be more posts about that, I'm sure. I'm also behind on few projects that I had planned as Christmas gifts. Grrr...I just need a few extra hours in the day....
