Our Married Life

…puppy!

This morning, Brian and I went to visit our new puppy Leah, or Lele. We walked in and saw 7 precious puppies all running around in their little pen. Baby Lele was one of the smallest and pretty shy out of the bunch. But we think she’ll be the perfect match for Miss Reesey.

While we were playing with the pups, I was a bit undecided between her and the other doggy. But the other pup was like a pistol and too rambunctious. Besides, our intention was to go see Lele. Anyway, we’ve fallen in love and can’t wait to bring her home in a month. I just hope Reesey treats her well.

How can you not love this face. This is Reesey snoozing on the couch with Brian as he’s watching the bball games.

What’s funny is that he’s wearing my apron that says Mrs. Behrend on it.

The day is slowly creeping up. Not that we do it huge on Vday, we usually just go out for a fancy dinner at some restaurant we haven’t been to and he would send me flowers or buy me a card and I’ll buy him small. Last year we went to the Melting Pot for some fondue. I highly recommend by the way.

But this year, I just feel a bit apathetic. Maybe it’s because we’re already married?? And since vday is on a Wednesday this year, it just makes it much more silly to celebrate.

So after having to work late on Monday, I stayed out late on Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday I had lunch with a friend from HS. We finally patched things up and I had a great time seeing her again. Wednesday the girls at work met up at someone’s house to play Texas Holdem. I’ve never played poker before, but I kicked ass which surprised everyone. I guess I have a good poker face, or maybe since we weren’t playing with money, I was much more brave.

Anyway, I got my Mypublisher album in the mail today. I rushed home from work during lunch to pick it up since I was so excited. The album is missing the first 4 pages. HRMPH. Also the quality is great, but the images themselves are a bit blurry. Maybe I shouldn’t have messed with the resolution despite what their help page was saying.

Oh well, hopefully they’ll reprint it and hopefully I can tweak the resolution. Overall, it looks good and everyone thinks it’s amazing and the design looks like a pro did it.

I don’t post much about Reesey. How could I not. She’s absolutely the cutest dog in the world. I wish I can bring her to work everyday so that everyone can fall in love with her as much as we love her. As cute and sweet as she is, she’s also a little terror. I wonder why she’s so scared of people?? She was never like that as a puppy. Maybe we’re just bad parents. I guess once the weather clears up, we need to make weekly trips to the dog park so she can socialize. Or maybe we need to take her in and do some coop type training. Despite being a pain sometimes, she will warm up to you once she’s around you for awhile.

Anyway here’s some pictures to share. They’re the most recent I think, and of course are from Christmas. I was finally able to put her Santa hat on without her trying to take it off and run away with it. However, I had to give her a bone just so she can focus on it while I took pictures.

Here’s the link to the album. There are a couple missing pages that I forgot to upload, but let me know what you all think!

I worked on it all day yesterday. Spent maybe 30 hours on it total. We should’ve just paid the photographer to do it. But I had fun. I had to get it done by last night so we can place in the order in time for Christmas, but as soon as the order was done, I realized there was a page in there that shouldn’t have been. I had to cancel it, and was too sleepy to redo the upload. So now we won’t get it in time for Christmas, but hopefully we will for New Years. Poo. The total cost came up to 95 bucks (plus 20 bucks in shipping) after the discount in MyPublisher. There are a couple pages that I think I want to redo. I’m not really liking the layout. I hope after all the effort I put into this the quality of the albums are good. My plan was to order 2 more smaller albums for the parents. But I wanted to see how these came out first before ordering some more.

So we had our work parties this weekend. I think on Sunday morning I realized we only had 5 hours of sleep from Friday and Saturday night. I was pooped.

Anyway, we got our car back and it’s working! WOOOHOO.

Well it’s been snowing/sleeting for the last 2 hours. But the cars are finally accumulating the white fluff so you can actually tell. Our boss told us we can leave at 3 if we wanted to. Poor Reesey, she wouldn’t want to go walking I’m sure.

Edit: here are some pictures. It was friggin cold, but Reesey and went on our walk anyway. I was afraid her little paws were going to fall off trekking through the ice cold grass.
