Busy Day

Today we ventured down to Provo.  Connor had a dentist appointment (yes, our dentist is in Provo).  When we got there we had to wait for about 20 mins.  They told us later there was some type of emergency.  The took Connor back, and the filling took 20 mins from start to finish.  So fast!

Here he is post filling.

 Then we decided to go visit the cemetery.

 My mom bought a new headstone that should be installed some time this spring.

Every time we go to Provo we either go to Coney's or J Dawgs. Today we went to J Dawgs.  It was soooo good.  It's really good that both those places are far away, otherwise we would be eating there way too often.

When we got home we took Andy to get his last set of shots.  He did really well.  

Now, I'm exhausted.

A First

Today I got my first piece of maternity wear.  My mom bought me this maxi dress.  It's very cute.

I'm going to have to do some maternity shopping soon, but I still fit just fine in my clothes, though things are getting tight.  :)

This has nothing to do with that but, the other day when I was about to take Andy outside, I saw a HUGE spider in our door.  It was between the sliding glass door, and the screen.  After it wandered far away from the opening of the door I took Andy out.  Then I came back inside and vacuumed the spider up, along with all these little white nests that I noticed were around our door.  I'm pretty sure that this spider had been living and laying eggs in our sliding glass door frame, and I had just noticed.  So. Gross.  Now every time I go outside I'm afraid of what I might find.  Especially now that the weather is warming up and bugs are starting to emerge.  Yuck.

Speaking of bugs, our patio is covered by rollie pollies (potato bugs) at night.  I think Andy tried to eat one.

Car Karma

On Saturday morning Connor was driving to work when his car broke down.  On the highway.  He called me and was really upset (obviously).  We thought, "How much is this going to cost us?"  We're not exactly rolling in the dough with a new mortgage payment, and a baby on the way.

When the tow truck driver picked Connor up, he took a look under the hood of the car.  He said that it looked like a bolt that was in the alternator, holding it in place, had cracked, and fallen out.  Oops.  Interestingly enough, Connor had just had the alternator replaced not too long ago.  They towed the car to the repair shop (where a friend of Connor's works). 

Since it was Saturday, they didn't look at it until today.  We ended up paying about $26 for the repair, and that was only because there was a belt that needed replaced too.  That was wonderful!  When does it ever cost only $26 to get your car repaired?

And that's not all.

Tonight we went to Arby's for dinner (I haven't felt much like cooking lately, and we had a coupon).  While we were sitting in the drive thru waiting for our food, my car suddenly lurched forward several inches.  We thought "What was that?"  I thought Connor had accidentally done something (he was driving - and he thought that too).  However, he was as confused as I was.  We realized that the car behind us had rear ended us.  

Fabulous.

We got out and surveyed the damage.  There was none!  It looks like my license plate got scratched a bit, but that was all.  Thank goodness.  Apparently the lady behind us had been searching for change and had accidentally taken her foot off the brake.  She apologized, and we went on our merry way.

Please let this good karma keep heading our way.  We could really use it.

It's a....

Baby!

We are excited to announce that we're expecting our first baby at the end of September.

Andy Update

It's been almost 3 weeks since we got Andy.  The sweet, perfect little puppy that I thought I had is long gone.  He is still sweet, but far from perfect.  He's really come out of his shell.

House breaking has proven to be a difficult task.  It's getting better, though.  I am kennel training too.  He whines a little when I put him in, but he sleeps in it all night long.  Once we can trust him to not pee on our carpet anymore we will let him sleep wherever.

There have been many times when I have seriously considered selling him.  (Especially after I stepped in his poo on my way back to bed one morning.  I had just taken him outside.)

The poor puppy is so cute, and a little too crazy for his own good.

One day he was standing on the second step when I picked up a toy.  He leapt into the air, missed the toy, and landed head first on the tile.  I picked him up and he was really dazed.  He kept closing his eyes like he was falling asleep, and I was really afraid he had a concussion.  But he was fine.  He was running around the house again within minutes.

He has fallen off the couch multiple times.  He was sleeping on his back, and adjusted.  The next thing I knew he was on the floor.  He looked up at me, confused about what had happened.

Today I was walking down the stairs.  He started out behind me but somehow ended up in front of my left foot at just the right moment for me to kick him down the rest of the stairs.  Poor dog.  He landed on the tile (thankfully not head first), and he got up, looked at me, and wagged his tale.  He scared me, though.  My heart was racing.

He likes to chew on everything.  I can't wait for him to get past that phase.

He is still very sweet, and a lot of fun.  He loves to run after the toys that we throw.  He loves to run around our little back yard (it's the perfect size for him).  Sometimes he loves to cuddle.  But mostly when I try to cuddle with him he tries to bite my hand.

Now if I can just get him to stop peeing on my carpet.

I put my leg on that side so he wouldn't roll off the couch again.
