... a puppy!
Gotcha! Haha We are so excited to announce that we are getting a female yellow labrador retriever! My sister and brother-in-law's dog had puppies, so of course couldn't resist one of these adorable pups. We don't know exactly which one we are getting, but Jesse is bringing her home in 2 weeks- so not only will I get my husband back but I'll get a puppy too! Talk about a happy girl!!
Here are some pictures from Mary, Anna and I playing with some of the litter:
If you're a squealer, get ready because they are adorable!
This could be a problem!
Caught this little guy asleep!
So there they are! We are so thrilled to bring one of the gals home! If you have any ideas on names, we are still trying to decide.
This past weekend, Jesse and I met up for the last time before he comes home! July is absolutely flying by. We met in Cleveland, which is about 30 minutes outside of Chattanooga, where Kristian and George live and played with the pups some more!
Ashlyn loves the puppies
On Friday we made our way to Atlanta to go to IKEA and to see the Braves play!
On the road again!
Our first stop in ATL was IKEA. Now, I have ALWAYS wanted to go to IKEA but have never had the chance, so you can imagine how excited I was. We had lunch there when we first arrived and spent the next 3 hours wandering around. This place was awesome! We are definitely going back after we move to get some things for the house. I wanted so many things, but sadly we were in my car... and we are about to move - so the less to move, the better! We just might rent a U-Haul for the way home next time. ;) What we got: a $10 duvet cover, a $15 duvet cover, a $10 wine rack, two 43 cent dog bowls, and we picked up a $20 coffee table for Kelley.
After dragging ourselves from IKEA, we made our way to check in our hotel, freshen up, then make our way to the marta station so we could go to Turner Field to see the Braves play the Milwaukee Brewers!
At the game :)
Awesome cheap seats!
This boy is pretty serious about some baseball -- especially when the Braves are playing.
We lucked out and went on a night that they had fireworks after the game sponsored by Publix! Thanks Publix! Oh how I miss thee. (If you know me, you know that Publix is on the list of things that I miss about Birmingham. haha) Even though they lost, this was a great way to end a great day.
The next day we woke up and made our way back to Cleveland. We spent the afternoon with family and bought some things for the pup: collar, leash, dog bones, treats, a 40 lb bag of food.... that's a good start, right? After some errands, we ate at Olive Garden (can't get enough salad and breadsticks!) with this little princess:
The next morning, I got up early to do my run for the day. (In case you are wondering, the running is going great! Right on schedule and loving it! I think this half marathon in December is really going to happen!) After the run and a cool down, George made beignets so good that I thought I was here. After breakfast we went here for white water rafting, except we decided to try out a 2 man kayak instead and had a blast! I love spending the day on the river... makes me wish we lived somewhere that it could be a regular thing. Here's a pic of the gang once we got back to the outfitters:
Overall, it was a WONDERFUL weekend! Puppies, IKEA, baseball, rafting- doesn't get much better than that! If you are still reading, thanks for hanging in there. I know its been a long time since I have updated this. Next on the list - PACK. Uhh.... I'm so sick of packing and moving but I can't wait to make this new place our home! Hope you have a great week!
