Riding in the Car

Bailey is pretty entertaining when he rides in the car. He whined a lot at first, but if you put in on your shoulder like he was a parrot he quiets down and just sits. We took him to my parents on Sunday to hang out and get my computer worked on. These are just a few pictures of him on our way there. He was interested in the wind that was blowing in his face from the vents.

Fun and Stress

This weekend has been filled with fun, but there was one big stressful moment for me! First, I will tell the fun! We had Mo, Libby, and their friend Cortney over Friday night. Mo and Cortney were taking their ACT today at APSU, so they stayed here so they wouldn't have to get up so early. We played a little Guitar Hero and watched Twlight. It was really nice to get to spend time with my sisters because I hardly ever get to see them. We only live 20 minutes apart, but we have very hectic schedules on both sides. We spent today enjoying the weather and relaxing, well after my huge stress was somewhat resolved. So now on to the big huge gigantic stress that was brought upon me at 11:30 last night! Our computer has been working fine..it worked fine all week, it even worked fine all night. At 11:30 my computer decided to turn evil and freeze. When I got it back on, the computer had crashed eliminating all of my schoolwork!!! I was going off the deep end. At first I was so overwhelmed I couldn't cry, but all of the sudden the water works came and they didn't leave until I finally fell asleep. You see, all of my schoolwork is on my computer most importantly a group project! It has all of our pictures, Sam's resume', and all sorts of stuff. If I actually thought while I did schoolwork, I would save it to a jump drive and the computer. I never backup my computer, but will now do so once it gets back to normal. I dreamed about all the work that I was going to have to do by Monday! I slept stressed. Well, we got up this morning and Sam found the folders located somewhere different and we saved them to a jumpdrive. The computer will still not load right, but my dad will get to look at it tomorrow! I felt so pathetic to be so upset about a computer! It's crazy how important a computer is to my life and the things that it holds! We think there is a possible virus of some sort going on, but we are not sure! We shall see tomorrow hopefully! I will say there have been lessons learned..but you would think I would've learned when it did this last year around this time! Maybe this time it has sunk in!

Bailey's First Week

Bailey's first week has been pretty eventful! He saw everyone! Playing at my parents went fantastic! Sassy and Bailey were pretty funny together! Bailey was not the least bit scared of her, but Sassy was scared of him! It was hilarious! He met Sam's family on Sunday. Calyn was really funny meeting Bailey! She wasn't so sure what he was and why he was there! It took her a little while, but I think that they will get along! :) He got to play with Heidi last night because we had dinner with John and Lindsey in their brand spanking new beautiful house! This was hilarious! We are pretty sure that they were playing, but it was a lot of wrestling and mouths open and madness! It lasted all night while we were there! They both wore each other out and went straight to sleep when it was bedtime! So in the week that Bailey has been with us he has learned to climb the stairs and go down the stairs, jump off the couch, and go to the kitchen to go to the potty! We are very proud of our little Bailey! Now if we can just get him to stop biting everything would be great!! I have a bruise on the arm from those teeth!

The Newest Shrewsbury

I have asked Sam for a dog for a very long time. I even decided that I could wait till I graduated next May and get a puppy for a present, but I would still ask just to be sure! Well one day we had spent the day getting Sam a grill and I said that it would be nice if I could get a dog. To my surprise he said that we could look and as long as we got the approval from our landlord that we could. Well, Sunday we got the approval and we went and got Bailey, a 9 week old Maltipoo heavy on the Malt light on the poo! :) It has been rather interesting since Sunday night! Within the first 2 to 3 hours of having him, he was introduced to his future girlfriend Heidi and fell off of a table. He started out sleeping in our bed, but an hour later was well rested and wanted to play, so he went to his crate. He is a very good dog and loves to watch TV which is really funny! We are working on the potty training and he went poop and pee outside today!! We were such proud parents! He even learned how to go up the stairs all by himself, which leads me to this somewhat funny story. I had been cooking dinner and Bailey had been right on my feet. I turned around and he was nowhere to be found. I looked in the kitchen, in the living room, and low and behold I found him in our bedroom where he decided to take a leak! Sam shut the door to our room and the spare bedroom, so if he went back up there he wouldn't go to the rooms. Well at 10:30 we were going to bed, exhausted from our day and we were locked out of our bedroom. Neither one of us know how that happened, but we had to take the doorknob off to get back in! It was ridiculous! We have been having a wonderful time with Bailey, the newest Shrewsbury. He gets to go to hang out with his dog sister, Sassy tomorrow! We will see how that goes!

Good Times With Good Friends

Friday night Sam and I volunteered to dog sit Heidi while John and Lindsey went to dinner with John's family. For those of you who do not know Heidi is John and Lindsey's adorable Maltipoo! Anyways, Sam and I have been talking about getting a dog. Actually, I have been asking for one and trying to talk him into the dog idea which has been going fairly well even though I think that I will be waiting for another month or two to get one. We thought that keeping Heidi for a little bit would help us see how we would do with a dog. We'll call it a trial run! It went really good too! Sam and I played with her on the stairs which was pretty funny to watch. She'd go up and run back down and repeat! When John and Lindsey got back from dinner we decided that we wanted to play Twister instead of watching a movie like we had planned. We got Twister, which I haven't played in years and years, and it was an absolute blast! We laughed and had a great time. Twister is one of those games that is funnier when you are older and trying to play because reaching those different colors was a whole lot easier back in the day! We fell often and then fell from laughing quite a bit too! Feeling like Twister was not enough of a workout, we got out P90X and let John and Lindsey experience the pain! We all tried a video which definitely made us call it a night a lot faster than normal! We were worn out including Heidi! Saturday Sam and I had a night to ourselves. We went out on a date to eat at Shogun and were planning on seeing a movie but the poor choice of movies led us to the Walmart $5 bin where we got We Are Marshall. It is a wonderful movie! Hopefully last week was our last cold week so we can start spending more time outside and grilling out! We shall see!!

Bringing the Outdoors In

Sam and I wanted to go camping this weekend, but due to the unpredictable nature of Tennessee weather it looks like that won't be happening. We got the nice spring tease and now have an inch of snow in our grass! We were talking tonight and decided to bring the camping indoors. We got a tent as a wedding present and haven't gotten the chance to use it yet. After a little debate and measuring, we decided that putting the tent up in our living room would work and be a wonderful idea. Sam got it out of the closet and we put it together. We lined up the tv and the door...added a few pillows and blankets...and we had ourselves a camp site. All we needed was a little hot chocolate and fire and we would've been set! Here are some pictures of our camp site:

We Moved!!

This weekend was a whirlwind to say the least and it all started on Friday. The wonderful storm came in overnight and decided to make our power go off. We realized we didn't have power when we were burning up due to the lack of ceiling fan. It wasn't on when the alarm went off and there was no point in washing my hair when I can't dry it or straighten it. (Short hair..no taming...bad idea) Low and behold at 7:45 on the dot the power came back on! I decided to get a shower and rush to get out the door by 8:15 because I had to work all day at the preschool. I wasn't going to be back home, so this was my chance and I wasn't going to pass it up! I was a trooper and made it to work on time with dry straight hair. I must confess that I did makeup in the car! lol Sam and I had a night out with our friends. I went to the Selah concert with Regina, Lindsey, and Mallory while Sam went to eat at Bosco's and saw Jack Black on his night out too! He would like that I threw that in there! We both had a great time out. Shout out to Selah...It was a great concert even though I cried! It was a wonderful night of worship! Saturday we moved to a townhome that is literally 50 steps or less away from where we were. It is amazing! We were getting really cramped in our one bedroom apartment. With only one closet there was little storage for anything which is really depressing. We now have a his and her closet along with a spare bedroom which is now our office/study area. We have 1.5 bathroom which is great! I'm getting used to having so much space! When we were getting ready to call it a night, we thought it felt like being in a hotel. It wasn't home yet, but it is feeling more like our home as we are here. Sam and I spent last night hanging pictures getting the home feeling in this place. There are a few things that need to be worked on maintenance wise, but these people worked all week to get it ready for us to be able to move before the rent for our old apartment was due, so I am not complaining in the least! I must give a BIG THANK YOU to my mom and dad, Mike, and Tyler who came and helped us move. We would have never gotten over here as fast as we did without your help! Mike and Tyler we owe you 2 moving days so just call us when you need us! One day when I am satisfied with how we have it, I will post pictures of the old and the new! Good news! Spring Break is next week for me so YAY for the break from school even though I'll still have schoolwork!
