The Luna Bug

So right before Christmas on the 18th actually I found the kind of dog that my husband had been wanting for some time now. He has always grown up with Australian Shepard's and so he wanted to get one as our first family dog. Well I found one and my awesome Mother in Law made the almost four hour trek to go check her out with me. We went through many small towns until we got to what seemed like the middle of nowhere, but that house right smack dab in the middle of nowhere held our newest family member!

From the second we walked in the door we knew she was a good dog. She was very mild mannered even though there were a million and ten things going on in the crazy house she was currently residing. That poor dog, I don't know how she made it as long as she did there. The family was eccentric to say the least. Well me my Mother in Law and B had all fallen in love so we decided to take her with us on the four hour trip to her new home.

My husband had to work that night which is why my Mother in Law came. It actually worked out really nice because we got home around one in the morning right before my husband got home from work!! Even better thing is that because it was after midnight it was officially December 19th, which happens to be my husbands birthday!! To say that he was excited was an understatement.

So now we are a happy little family of 5. Myself, S, B, Prince Catterpuss and now Luna! It actually works out perfect that we have a big backyard now B and Luna love it. So without further explanation here is the newest member of our family and the only other female in the house, therefore my pretty pretty princess :) Luna or Luna bug or if you are be Lula buug :)

Great break!

Well I am officially back after my break. The holidays are so crazy, I decided to take a break in January until things started picking back up more near Feb. Anyways hope everyone else had a somewhat relaxed start to their year!

I will however post about Christmas festivities, and our Brayden's Rockin Eve New Years party!! I am really excited about 2013 and I hope you guys are too. But for right now I think its a good time to reflect on 2012 and dig deep to find what it is I am truly thankful for and maybe the highs and lows of the year.

HIGHS - I think this year has been overall really good! S and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary, We have watched B learn so much and really begin to show his personality. I am so excited to see what lies ahead for him. He is a really awesome little person. We went through the home buying process and officially moved into our first home! That whole journey was kind of scary but a lot of fun and we love OUR home. Our home, I don't think that its something that I will never not be excited about. My best and oldest friend got pregnant and is having a baby girl in March :) I got a good promotion and raise at my job which put me at full time status, gave benefits and helped financially. We got our first family dog! I will post about her and her story soon!! She is an Australian Shepard and is super sweet. Her name is Luna or Luna bug, unless you are B (He pronounces it Lula Buuug) and S also started a new job. We now work different shifts but it works out for B and Luna and its nice his schedule is so flexible. So I would say this year was pretty awesome!!

LOWS - As for lows, after thinking about all the good things that blessed our family this year, all of the lows seem so trivial! I think lows are good things. They remind us that nothing is permanent and make us thankful for the things that we have! I hope your 2012 was a blast but if it wasn't make 2013 a year to remember!! I will be back to regular posting officially.... Now! Thanks and as always comment, share your opinion and stay awesome!
