Change

Tomorrow at 1:00 Nate and I will be closing on our first home! We are both very excited. I am particularly excited to do a little painting and start decorating. I have so much junk to sort through, but this will give me an opportunity to get rid of everything I do not need and start over with much less stuff.

We have pretty much decided that we will eventually be getting a yellow lab puppy - but no idea when that will happen. Ideally we would like to have our yard fenced in first, but I'm not sure exactly how much that will cost. I want to get things settled in the house before we do too much else - things are crazy enough as it is.

Dakota is getting so big! Well, she's only 7.6 lbs., but when I picked her up at McDonald's as a kitten she was under 4 lbs. Her body is getting longer and filling out more, but her face and paws are still quite petite. She is adorable. :)

My apartment is full of wedding stuff. I will be very happy when it is all GONE. Clutter and junk make me anxious. And yet I have such a hard time getting rid of things because I might, at some point in the future, be able to use it.

I am mostly looking forward to the end of the school year. Only two weeks left in the semester for me, and then I will only have two classes left to take. One in the summer and one in the fall. Then no more school! I am definitely ready for a little routine in my life.

Looking for a new addition

Nate and I both fell in love with Imo Inu's (American Eskimo x Shiba Inu). They are adorable! Hopefully the pet store will have more around the time we are ready to buy one. We close on our home on the 25th, so we won't have a place for the puppy until then. But Dakota definitely needs a little brother.

Some pics of the Imo Inu's at the pet store:


Aren't they cute?
