Tis the day for a new blog psot....I meant post and I am too lazy to backspace.

Now I am going to make an attempt to remember the significant moments of the last week. There were some I think? I guess we will start with the Nor-whal a.k.a Nora!

This great puppy went to training school last week. She did pretty well! Though she has the attention span of something that doesn't have an attention span, we made some progress with her. There are only two other dogs in the class. One is a Golden Doodle named Martha (holy cute. I want one!) and the other is a rescue dog, not sure what breed, named Tess. Well Martha let out a bark which then led to Tess barking...nothing really groundbreaking because that is what dogs do...but Nora immediately hid behind and under Casey and his chair. So the main thing for us to do now is to help socialize her more. She is seriously afraid of everything so we have some work to do! Oh and the poor thing is getting fixed next week. Her life is proving to be an interesting one.

This week we are leaving for Arizona to visit with family! It will be a lot of fun and we are ready to hit the road. The weather however is not looking too good for us.It will go from 80's to 60's by the time we are there. Ever since we have been married, every vacation that we have been on has had horrible weather. The honeymoon, Bear Lake, some might and have even said our actual wedding day (which makes me sad so say it only in your head). Anywho, now Arizona is set to be cold and possibly rainy. We will still have a wonderful time though! Can't wait to see everyone!

Ooooh and now for my moment of jealousy! This isn't even my experience but it is too wonderful! My parents and Jenna totally saw Blake Lively at the Cheesecake Factory on Saturday. Jenna even told her she is a big fan (which Jenna, lets be real, you make fun of her way more than admire her), and she smiled and waved back. WHAT?!?! I am dying just thinking about it. I wouldn't be so sad if I had not just been there with Casey that night. Or watching Gossip Girl when Jenna told me. Total bummer! But really very cool. So now Jenna can add that to her list of celebrity fun right under free front row tickets to the Biebs. Whatever Jenna.

She is the blonde in the black coat and gray hat. AMAZING! And creepy.

Oh and side note...when I asked my silly mom about it, all she said was "Ugh she wasn't even with her husband so it doesn't even matter". I could tell she was really disappointed.


Love,

Happy blog day! Yet another week of chasing dogs, work, and school has passed. 

We topped off Nora's shots with the rabies vaccine last Wednesday. That messed her up pretty bad. Poor thing was really sore and tired for the rest of the day. Really though it was wonderful because then she just held still and didn't chew on anything or anyone. So the bottom line is that I wish she could have a rabies shot at 5:00 every night. Next up for her is puppy preschool or just training school which starts on Thursday. The "hoity toities" at Petsmart went out of their way to tell us that she is not a puppy anymore so it really is just regular training. I love it when people share such useful information with me... It will go for six weeks and by the end she will be my minion. MARK MY WORDS! Oh and we got her papers and learned that her birthday is October 24th. For whatever reason, knowing her birthday has made me so happy! 

In other news, I had to lovely opportunity to assist in potty training the nanny baby this last week. Girlfriend was ready to be done with diapers so it was actually really easy. She has only had two accidents on my watch which is wonderful! Today she told me that she doesn't want to go potty in her pants anymore so she can't wear diapers, she needs to wear undies.

We are heavily in the midst of Casey's math ordeal. Growing up I always used to say that my husband would have to be good at math because there was no hope for me. Well I spoke to soon. Apparently there is no hope for either of us. So it is rather funny to have him relying on me for help. We are two dumbos watching math tutorials on YouTube. 

OOOOOH! My most exciting event from last week was finally purchasing a duvet cover! It took me forever to find one that was affordable and hip and with it. Of course though it was no where to be found when we went to pick it up (it even said it was in store...and that they had plenty in stock). So I gave in and just let us get the one Casey really liked. It is still a great pick so that is a plus, and it came with TWO accent pillows! Casey has a theory though, the lady that helped us just wanted all of my bedding to herself so she mislead us. I think this is a pretty true accusation. 

Love us.

This should probably be referred to as the lost blog. It is really hard to keep up on these things when you would rather just live in the moment rather than write about it. It has been since October since this thing has even been opened up, and some changes have definitely been made in our lives and to the blog (much better to look at now!). 

The changes are as follows: we no longer live in the "buggy" basement apartment, we are both students at Weber State, and as you all know we acquired a puppy monster! So now we are living in my parents basement (they have graciously agreed to let us crash here for as long as we need), still working and going to school. Oh and I guess another major change I should mention is Casey's new-ish job. He actually was offered the position last October...yep! He works at Tom Stuart Construction as an assistant purchaser. He is really good at this job and he really loves working there.

We have also immersed ourselves into loads of different TV shows. On a whim we decided to get Netfilx and since then all of our productivity has gone down the drain. That might be an exaggeration but it sure does feel like it! We started with The Walking Dead during Christmas break, and then Breaking Bad and now Gossip Girl. As lame as that sounds, that show is addicting! Even Casey is hooked. I guess watching pretend upper east siders bully each other is just what we were missing in life? Cool. We'll take it! Side note, our rule now is to go to the gym before any Netflixing can occur.

And now to address the puppy baby. She is really like our baby. We hold her like a baby and talk to her like a baby. Her name is Nora, she is a mini Australian shepherd and she is just four months old. Though she is a "mini" supposedly, she just keeps on growing...except for her head or so it seems. It sounds odd but really it just makes her even cuter. She really is a strange little creature. Her favorite past time includes collecting any and every item from the house and taking it outside. She doesn't necessarily chew on these things, she just wants them outside with her...who even knows. She also has a vast water bottle collection, so no more spending money on toys! Our favorite things about her: 

• She runs sideways (possibly due to her docked tail a.k.a her "nubbin"...which is also a favorite of ours)
• She can't jump onto things like the couch (she uses only upper body strength to pull herself up)
• She has the biggest and squishiest paws on the planet!
• She loves to be held (especially when we go on walks. And by we I mean me and Casey apparently)
• She gives lots of kisses
• She loves the snow
• Her butt looks like a bear's bottom
• She is afraid of everything...the broom, ironing boards, suitcases, loud noises, laundry baskets, basketballs etc.
• And she likes to sit on other dogs

First time we saw her!

First bath

Happy Valentines! (notice the size difference!)

That pretty much sums up our current life status. Everything is nice and calm, which is just how we like it!

Love,
