June...Where did you go?

I don't know about you, but I have no idea where the month of June went. May was a chaotic month for us...We were married on May 14th and for anyone who has ever been married you know that the weeks and months before a wedding are consumed with planning, parties, planning, organizing, planning, and more planning.  Then of course we spent the week after the wedding on a fabulous honeymoon in Riviera Maya Cancun, Mexico.See where we stayed here Everything was wonderful, but before we knew it we were home and back to the daily grind. Don't get me wrong, we have a wonderful life, but lets face it, reality is what it is. It has now been over 6 weeks since the wedding and I feel like all we get done sometimes is work, eat, sleep, and house work. I am very lucky though, Zac is very helpful, but who knew 2 people could have so much laundry...And now June is gone. Hopefully, July will prove to be a bit slower to pass by.

I was going to add a picture, but after waiting 20 minutes for it to upload, I lost my patience. Another day.

~Maddie Girl~

If you have read my "about me" section you will notice that I reference our golden retriever puppy Maddie as a fish. And after you hear about what she did yesterday you will see why.
I got home from work to hear Zac on the phone with his mom (who lives beside us and doggysits for us during the day). Apparently, Maddie girl decided it was too hot out and she needed to take a dip in the river.  Mind you the river is actually across the road from our house. She has never ventured outside of the yard before, but she thinks of running off from us a game sometimes and yesterday was no different. When Zac's mom realized she was no longer in the yard, she assumed that Maddie may have taken a stroll to our house, but when she didn't find her there she started to panic. Zac and I were both still at work and she was convinced that she wasn't going to find her. She drove down by the river and low and behold there was Maddie shooting out of the river. Maddie just got a bath on Saturday and needless to say the river water has quite a stinch. She knew that she was caught.
This isn't the first time that Maddie has taken a dip somewhere she wasn't supposed to. I took her to my parents a few weeks ago. They have a pool... Maddie had never been in a pool before and she wasn't supposed to get in their's either. My mom turned her head and before she knew it Maddie was in the pool...on top of the solar blanket. It was unlike any water she had been in before and she didn't like the way it felt.
I am not about to make this blog anything like "Marley and Me", but I do have to share cute stories like this about our "kid", because that is who she is! We love her!

Another New Beginning

As I start this blog, I am reminded of numerous things that I have started...but not finished. I am making it my goal to actually keep up with this thing. I never really kept a diary, but I think as I've gotten older, I wish I had. Time flies by and sometimes it's hard to remember the little things that happen on a day to day basis. The big events are easy to remember, but I think that it's just as important to document the small ones.  As I start a new chapter of my life, I want to write down the good, bad, and the ugly. Then one day I can look back and remember that all of those things have gotten me to where I am in life at that moment. I don't know if I'll have something to elaborate on every day, but I guess we'll see.
