Love the pinch cover!

Happy Birthday!

Which puppy is it, pics???

Came up with a solution on how to manage 6 house dogs (and two Bengals) in our current rather small house.

Ever think of something so stupid and funny, that the only logical thing to do is to go through with it?

I named one of the degu boys.... R2Degu. :rofl1:

We found a house. It needs a lot of updating, but we will be talking to the bank, getting a home inspection, and possibly making an offer on Thursday. I'm excited beyond belief. And scared...

The land is perfect and we love it, the house is in good shape, just was built in the '60's and looks like it.

Vibes or advice are welcome. :)

Vibes!! If it's in an established neighborhood with trees you might want to get a plumbing inspection. We've had SO many issues with tree roots in our main line. It would have been nice to know that we were going to be spending 100-300 dollars every year to pull them out.

Auggie peed in the house Saturday night which had me all worried about his urinary health. Sunday was his last pill of abx from his UTI so he should have been good, but peeing in the house is never a good sign. My mom later told me he was humping Georgie, then peed, which is a behavioural thing he did as a puppy and has in the past done with Pepper, so there was the possibility he was fine - but of course in my head I was 100% convinced he had bladder stones or something else, he was going to need an x-ray and probably surgery again, so on and so forth. I wasn't sure where I was going to get the money for that, I had planned on entering Payton in an agility trial in Indianapolis, and was going to put Auggie in for one day too just for fun because he loves trialing at that club, and I was sure I wouldn't be able to afford it anymore, and that of course if Auggie had surgery he wouldn't be able to play anyway, it just keeps going.

So I woke up super early this morning and took him over to the vet's office as soon as they opened to do a free catch and hand super fresh urine over, then get back home so I could make it to work on time.

Well, I'm almost positive I freaked out the vet tech a little when she called to tell me his urine was perfectly normal, because I almost exploded with OH THANK GOD THAT'S AWESOME SUPER FANTASTIC THANK YOU.

In celebration I filled out Auggie's entry form. And smiled the whole time I did it.

AND I finally got a stackable, front-loading, high quality washer and dryer off craigslist!! We were just talking yesterday about going out to Lowes and me forking over cash for a new set, but I saw this listed today, e-mailed them in a hurry, and I got 'em!! YAY! I just saved like $800!
PLUS they come with pedestals, which I don't really need, so I might be able to turn around and sell those on craigslist. I think they match my parent's machines though, so they might keep them, but if they don't then I can sell 'em! And I can sell the old washer and dryer that came with the house and make up some of the cash, so DOUBLE YAY I'll only be out a few hundred bucks once it's all said and done!!

One step closer to getting everything done and moving into the **** house!

Awesome job interview! Hoping I get this job, it will help a lot.

But for now I get to spend my afternoon at the secretary of state. Hoping I get out of here in time to pick up Frag... Definitely won't have time to mow after the hour long interview and this place. But at least I'm turning 21?

Zach is hosting poker night tonight for all his work buddies, which has given me a fabulous excuse to

a) Clean the house super well
b) BAKE! Cupcakes are cooling, lemon bars are in the oven, and mint brownies are in my mixer waiting for the oven to be vacated.

I love having people over.

Thanks!

We have two more houses to look at before we make a decision (unless anything else pops up on the radar)... ugh, this is SO hard! There are lots of pluses and minuses to each place, and each place is on our list because it's what we are looking for/like/close to work, etc.

I remember look at about a billion houses last year, it was exhausting and stressful. Good luck, I hope you find something you love and then some :)


And I know what puppy is mine. YAY!!

YAAAAAAAY I just snagged a reservation for Be our Guest Restaurant :D:D:D the problem is I was only able to find a time slot for three people and not all 5 of us. But it is Wednesday and our second day at Magic Kingdom so my inlaws likely won't make it until 5 pm anyway before they head back to the room but I will keep checking between now and then for an opening for 5 people :)

Super excited

It is slowly sinking in that I will be getting married in less than 6 months. :eek: I don't know if this is a super exciting thing or terrifying! Both, I think.
