One of these dogs is ours!!!
It’s been a while since I last updated the ol’ blog. Married life is going great. We continue to push forward in school and work. Lesley is almost done with finals. She has one today and another this week. Then she is done and can relax. Much of her time is going to be spent training our new puppy which we pick up from the airport next Monday. Yay! We are very excited for our new nameless puppy. Lesley told me how excited she is to pick up warm turds in little plastic baggies.
We had a great Thanksgiving. Lesley learned how to make all the fixins with her mom. I pitched in my expertise when needed. I got to wear a beautiful Relief Society apron so that I wouldn’t spoil my clothes. Lesley invited one of her old roommates from Hawaii to join us for dinner at Lesley’s parents house in Poulsbo. Her roommate brought her fiancé and we talked a lot about our funny meeting story. The day after Thanksgiving we slept in and then drove to Portland, OR for a memorial service held for one of Lesley’s mom’s uncles. It was only a 3-hour drive to Portland. We toured Oregon City and Portland. Both were beautiful places. We saw the movies Bolt and Australia. I definitely recommend Bolt for my cute little nephew Carson. Australia was a great film as well. We are thinking about naming our new doggie after a character named Mrs. Boss. Who knows?
On Saturday morning while my dear wife was still sleeping I went out and bought a Christmas tree. I went to a couple different places and the prices for a real tree were between $50 and $75. Ridiculous. Shoot me. But me, being cheap, found a sweet deal. $15 baby! We went out later and bought some lights and Mardi Gras beads to string across the tree. It looks nice and makes our house smell good. Last night we had some friends come over and watch Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Now the Holidays can officially start after watching that movie.
Well, I better get going. I have homework to do. This is the last week of my “Innovation for Business” class. Plus I need to make some dinner so we don’t wilt away. Peace be unto you!
