I used to love Saturday mornings around our house. Sitting in the living room in the morning when the sun came through the trees. But now that Craig is working Saturdays (woop woop!) I like Sunday afternoons. Craig is putting the finishing touches on our super-fabulous deck. So I spent the afternoon out there with him and Bailey balancing my checkbook, while Bailey lounged around with me. And reading my new book. I look like I got hit by a truck in the picture, but you get the point.
Eating dinner with my Mama tomorrow night. And headin’ to the scrapbook store to pick up some new stuff. Gotta work on some things for Jenny’s wedding guests. The whole Disney theme. Craig and I just booked our hotel, I can’t wait!

If I let myself, I could easily fall in love with this dog.
Trying hard not to get attached. Too attached.
We give her her last heartworm on the 1st and then she goes to adoption day on the 5th.
I hope she finds a good home, she deserves it.
Craig has a job!
He started today at the Dodge dealership right near our house.
To work his way up to be a Service Tech.
I think he’ll enjoy it.
I’m excited for him.
I’ve been in a funk this week.
Haven’t felt much like doing anything.
But today is Thursday, and Thursdays mean Grey’s.
And Grey’s makes me happy.

I love my family.
Everytime I come away from spending time with them, I realize how lucky I am.
My mom, my cousins, my aunts and uncles.
This woman.
She hasn’t been feeling well this past week.
She was in the hospital for a few days.
And it was good to see her somewhat back to her spunky self.
I love that we can all sit around a fold out table talking at my Uncle’s Annual Harvest Festival and I leave for home feeling so content.
That is what family is all about.
And family is about your husband pushing you on a horse swing like a four year old.
I love that we can do this together.
It’s the simple things that make me feel so blessed.

This is Bailey. Our first foster dog. Sleeping in her new bed the first night in her new house. She likes us. We like her. She whines when I come home until I set my stuff down and pet her. She’s starved for attention. She lays underneath Craig’s feet when we are in the living room together, just to be close to him, and it’s adorable. I just don’t understand how people give up a dog like this. But I don’t think she’s good with small children, so that would make sense. Anyways, we’re still learning about her. But she’s been really good so far.

Went full-time today at my job.
1 extra hour a week = 40 hours
A raise to go with it.
And Benefits to top it off.
Score!
And Craig is picking up our first foster dog tomorrow afternoon. Her name is Bailey and she’s 3 1/2 years old. Right now she is heart worm positive, so we have to ”keep her quite” for two weeks. Which means she can’t play ball, run, or go on long walks. Apparently, if a dog has heart worms and they raise their heartrate they can have congestive heart failure. Little tidbit of information for you there. Lot of pressure.

Craig and I had a house check on Friday from a volunteer with Adopt a Golden Atlanta. (I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of future posts about this topic.) We passed the inspection and filled out the paper work to be foster parents to Golden Retrievers in need. Now we’re just waiting to find what dog they place with us. She brought Luke and Nana out on Friday and I could have easily fallen in love with these dogs. Secretly, I think Craig could have too. 
Craig and Mama are both worried that I will get too attached. Which will probably be the case. But if I know what I’m there for in the beginning, I think it will make things a little easier.
Speaking of getting attached. My Peanut is still having a hard time. The vet thinks that she has a slip disc in her neck and it causes her pain at times. And there is pretty much nothing you can do for her to make it better. It’s a really helpless feeling. I’m hoping she gets better soon. Please please please keep her in your thoughts.
Craig is off playing in the Army this weekend. He’s not too crazy about it, but hopefully it will get better for him. So tomorrow I’m just going to scrapbook, watch cheesy girly movies, and relax. It’s been a stressful week.

My little girl is sick.
They ran some test today and we should know more in a few days.
Unless you’re a “dog person”, you won’t understand what a tough week this has been.
How is it so possible to get so attached to an animal?
They don’t speak.
They can’t understand a word you say (unless you speak Chinese to my dog, we think she speaks Chinese).
But we get so attached.
And I hate it when she’s in pain.
Hopefully after her second trip to the vet she’ll start to feel better.
They ruled out cancer and diabetes today, so that makes me feel better.
But look at this face, you can’t help but worry.

Had so much fun this weekend.
Spent lots of time with Josh and Anna.
Love being closer to them.
Spent today scrappin’.
Josh and Anna have almost been married one year and I just did a page from their wedding.
Got some pictures from this weekend. Having trouble uploading them. I’ll have to post those later.

I love Thursdays.
The days are so much easier knowing I have Grey’s waiting on me at home.
This week has been stressful.
Lots to learn in my new position.
Even more to take in with it being Jury Trial week.
Lots to potentially screw up on, and that makes me nervous.
But I’ve gotten through it with minimal mistakes.
All in all, it’s been a good week.
Craig is home and this house feels like home again.
Got some scrapbooking done last night.
So fun to leave everything out and come to it when an idea comes to me.
The desk is already a mess and that’s ok!
Had dinner with my mama tonight.
Bought an LSAT prep book tonight.
I’m determined to do this.
I’ve set my mind to it and I’m not going to talk myself out of it anymore.
I don’t know if the December is realistic.
But I’m tired of just talking about it.
It will be done.
Looking forward to this weekend.
We don’t have anything planned but to watch the LSU game and the Georgia game.
Can’t wait to relax after a crazy week.
I’m watching Extreme Home Makeover and I’ve been in tears from the first minute it came on. This woman bought her first home with her husband after 12 years of marriage. It needed a lot of work but they threw themselves into fixing it up. The mold in the house ended up taking his life on Christmas Eve. They played the 911 call. Wow. Tears.
At the end of the first episode of Grey’s Anatomy, Christina crawls in Burke’s hospital bed and starts to cry. He asks her what’s going on and she tells him not to die. Craig and I laughed so hard. So I just called him and told him not to die. I know he thinks I’m crazy. But that’s ok, I got my point across. Must go finish watching.
Found this picture the other night on my computer. It was taken December 11, 2004. We look so young. The very very very beginning of us. Our ”first date.” :) It makes me happy to find pictures like this.
I made something this weekend! I had all weekend and this is all I came up with. But it’s a start, I guess.
