Celebrate!

After being friends with someone for 24 years it's so exciting to finally have them become your cousin! :) Me and Sarah have been friends since i can remember. We were in preschool together, and we've been friends since. Although we may have caused some mischief once in a while, i wouldn't trade any of our memories for anything. When we were younger i remember all we wanted was to be sisters, and now that we are older, we have finally become cousins (through marriage). Sarah and Aaron got married yesterday, and it was the perfect day! Fresh snow on the ground, sun in the sky, and friends and family to share the day with. She made a beautiful bride and I feel honored and blessed to have been a part of her special day!

HELP!

AHHH, so Jake has been bugging me about getting another dog. I find this interesting, seeing as how he puts up a fuss when i ask him to put Macie out for me. His answer to that is, "Macie is your dog, I want one for ME!" First off, we all know that if we would get another puppy i would be the one taking care of it, and second of all, when they are just puppies they are so much work! So anywho, here is out little baby :) MACIE. She is now 9 months old. ...7 lbs. Here is the dog that Jake wants to get ;) We are "looking" at a Red Male.

This is the little red male mini. He is so stinkin' cute isn't he?

Ok, so i really can't believe i'm even contemplating this :) I feel like i'm becoming the "dog lady" and i don't want that! AHHH, give me your opinion. PLEASE!!! Two dogs, or just stick with the one?
I'm sure Macie would love a friend, she LOVES playing with Jake's parents dog (also a mini daschund) but ahhh do i really do this?

ready, set, go!

So, we have begun to work on the upstairs. I actually should say JAKE has begun ;) it's not really a "we" effort. Basically i spend the money and Jake does the work :) hehe He has been busy framing in the bathroom and one of the closets. Next will come insulation, then drywall, then flooring! I have to say, i am a little shocked that he has actually started. We've always said that this spring we would finish the upstairs (and maybe the basement), but in the back of my head i never knew if Jake would follow through with it. I'll post pictures as things start shaping up.

Here is a picture of inspiration for the kids bathroom. Once it's done, we'll see how it compares ;)
