Update

My birthday was last week (10 days ago...) and my dad came to Raleigh to take David and I out to dinner! We had a blast and I got to wear a new dress. Yay! As presents go, I got a few more things off of our registry, Avett Brothers tickets from Jackson, and new Toms!


Today we went to Hyco lake to hang out with Dad and the Apples. I picked up my Toms from Dad and Ransom had his first swimming experience! He did very well. We dropped him because he never decided to swim out on his own, but he hung out on floats with us for a while before deciding to swim back for the bank.

I'll make an effort to blog more in the coming weeks. We're currently finishing plans for Europe and will start packing soon (10 days left!) and I plan to keep the blog updated while we are traveling. I think we have free wi-fi everywhere we're staying, so I should be able to handle that.

Memorial Day Weekend

Well, we started our memorial day weekend with a quick trip to South Carolina for Big Daddy's birthday (that's David's grandfather). We're on our way home now, and all I can think about is how I haven't seen my puppy in almost 10 hours! How sad! I feel like a new mom who left her child for the first time. We left him in his kennel at home and had a friend stop by this evening to feed him, let him out, and play with him for a while. I miss him though! I can't wait to get home to my warm bed and go to sleep with my puppy (and hubby, of course).
Tomorrow we leave him again to head to Greensboro. We're off to Caldwell's graduation to celebrate with Tyler Perkins (Congrats, Tyler!!) and then to Reidsville to hang out with my parents for the day. The plan is to not break down and take the puppy with us, but to leave him kenneled again. He'll have someone take him out two or three times tomorrow. At the rate I'm going though, I won't be able to spend another day away from him.
The main(well, only) reason we don't take him with is everywhere we go is because the poor little guy gets carsick. We've been told he'll grow out of it, and for big trips we normally give him Benadryl, but it's just not worth driving him all over creation this weekend and cleaning up all that vomit. Hopefully he'll grow out of it sooner rather than later so we can start taking him on day trips!
We don't have any big beach or lake or cookout plans, but I'm sure the rest of you do, so have a blast! Happy memorial day!

Mother's Day

Sorry for the absence. We've been busy, but I'm graduating Saturday! I got an iPhone 4 (we're pretending it was our graduation present to me) and have been wasting all my spare time taking cute pictures of our puppy!

Ransom and his new raccoon toy!

Hopefully I'll get back into the swing of updating, but for now, here's a picture of us with our new moms (and dads)!


Happy Mother's Day! We love our moms!

New Apartment

Sorry for the lack of posting lately; we've been extremely busy. I've had a lot of school work to do, David has been busy with his 40 hour/week mulching job, and we moved!

Moving was a great decision! Our new apartment is much closer to Lake Johnson and to a lot of our friends. There's a back yard area where the puppy can play, and an extra bedroom for our friend Brant who is going to stay with us this summer!! Our kitchen even has a cute little window over the sink that I can open to smell the fresh air. 



My parents came up to help us last weekend and brought their puppy to play with Ransom. The moving was very hard on the pups...




Anyway, hopefully there will be more regular updating in the near future. Also, happy birthday to Nikki!!
