Oh, Happy Day!

My computer is back! And in working condition, with a fully restored hard drive and ALL of my pictures, documents, etc. It's nice to have a computer geek friend!

Anyway, I'll just act like the last few weeks didn't happen for the blog world, for brevity's sake.

I'm happy to be back in the blogging world. Isn't it fun to miss blogging for a little while and then get to go back and catch up on all your faves for a few hours? Or is that just me....

I have to leave you with this little gem, however:

Just too cool.

Puppy Love

This is what happens when you come home 

and your precious pup is simultaneously really happy to see you, and very tired.

Isn't he the sweetest?!

Plans for a Tuesday

This morning, I am snuggling up with little Bear and watching lots of How I Met Your Mother on Netflix. And for lunch, I'll go to my favorite cafe with my favorite guy to get a coffee and chicken salad sandwich.

I am taking full advantage of still not having class yet. Heck, it's 9 AM and I haven't even put in my contacts yet.

Hope you're having a good Tuesday! Happy (late) MLK day!

Instagrammed

Officially back home in Lubbock. Work starts tomorrow and school starts in a week. Back to the real world!

Romping in a Winter Wonderland!

Today was Murphy & Bear Bear's first snow! Bear didn't really care. In fact, he didn't seem to be too crazy about it. But Murphy was in heaven! He actually ran around with his mouth to the ground, eating snow as he ran. Such a sight. Bear just would've rather hung out with me on the couch. Takes after his mama I guess! 

Happy Snow Day, LBK!

Thanks!

Gi^vIng^ Thanks^:

- Spending the holidays with people I love! Thanksgiving will be the Cooksey's in Abilene, and the Winchester's in San Antonio. And the Worden's for Christmas! I love being around lots of people around the holidays. It just doesn't feel like the holidays without that!

- My puppies! Murphy got neutered on Thursday, and he's recovering well. Still just as rambunctious as ever! But you can tell he's getting older and can calm himself down better. And Bear is just the same little lovebug that he's always been!

- Having Fridays off. Not having class, and only having work every other Friday afternoon is the BEST. I get a chance to take care of errands, make calls & emails, catch up on homework, do some reading, and anything else that I need to do. It's really nice, and a luxury that I know I definitely won't always get to have!

I have...

...the best dog...

...the best little sister...

...the best mom...

...the best best friend...

...and the best boy.

I'm really lucky sometimes. Okay, all the time. But I don't always remember. Have a good week, all!

Puppy Love

Also Instagram love. Aren't they the sweetest? Is anyone else out there as obsessed with their dogs as I am? Hopefully. Here are the stats.

Murphy: 8 months old, 70 pounds, and still as puppy-like as ever. He doesn't quite realize he's as big as he is, so he still runs around like he's a 20 pound pup. Meaning he slams into tables, walls, doors, chairs...you name it. He is starting to chill out, a little bit. Haha. Emphasis on little. He's gathered a plethora of nicknames, my favorites being Murph-N-Turf and Murph Man.

Bear: 11 months old, 45 pounds, still as lovable as ever! He's good friends with Mac (Rex's roommate's American Husky mix), and loves hanging out with Murph and Mac over at the guys' house. Since he's the smallest, he gets roughed up, but he loves it. And Rex's roommate Collin absolutely loves Bear. But it's hard not too, really. Although he does desperately need to get groomed again....oops.

Also, the other little pup in that fourth picture is Sadie, the chubby little Daschund-Shnauzer mix that lives at my parents' house. She's the roundest, funniest little thing. And she is not crazy about Muphy and Bear, haha!

Dog Tired

Look at that. You'd think they did something besides lay around all day! Tee hee. Just kidding. About Rex, at least. Bear really does lay around most days. But Rex's roommates and the new dog moved in yesterday, and so Bear and Murphy got to meet Mack, the American Husky mix. That wore them out. 

But aren't they the sweetest? I love my little guys.

Week of Happiness (day ?)

Sorry I forgot what day it is today. I haven't been very consistent with my days for the Week of Happiness. Oops! Oh well. Y'all don't care right? Good. Today's happiness is puppies. Namely, mine. I can't help it that they're awesome.

Aren't they the best? Bear cuddles with me and Murphy runs around and makes a mess. Love them! 

A Week In Photos

To make up for my prolonged absence from blogging (due to moving + no internet at the new house!), I have lots of lovely photos to show off! Enjoy! 

June 28th 

June 29th

Pizza Date Night!

June 30th

At home date night! The last in the old house!

Isn't he just the cutest! 

July 2nd

The new house! 

The best movers in the world! 

The bookshelf in the living room, my favorite part of the new house! It's a work in progress still.

No Fourth photos, because of course my camera charger was buried deep in a box somewhere at the time. Hope you all had a good holiday! Forgive me if my posts are rather sparse in the next week or so...still trying to set up internet! 

Happy 6th of July! 

Puppy Photos (again!)

Now I know this is at least the sixth (...or twelfth...or twentieth...whatever...) picture of Rex and/or Murphy, and they all have captions including words like, "adorable," or "favorite," or something similar. So I'll just let you guess what I think about this one........(I'm just really smitten with these boys.)

But how could you not be? 

And, my favorite little pup! He's just so sweet, and such a cuddler, and he just makes me so happy. Now if I could just get him to stop shedding! 

Puppy Photos!

Meet little boy Bear! He likes to move around, so forgive the lack of focus in his photographs.

Exhibit A:

But look at how precious Murphy looks! Little boy is growing up! This may just be my favorite picture of all time.

And for whatever reason, this is how Bear sleeps. He even just stretches out on the floor like this too!

And Murphy sleeps like he always has. Does anyone else have a dog that sleeps in odd positions?

Not a puppy, I know, just another new favorite picture. 

Anyway, I obviously was reunited with my camera yesterday! Thank goodness! I missed my other half. And I love my new puppies. Happy Wednesday, all! 

Bear, The New Dog

Just because, you know, we didn't have enough going on in our lives, (By the way, is it weird that I refer to Rex and I as "us" most of the time? I feel like that's a married couple thing. But we're around each other so much that I feel like "us" is accurate.) I adopted a sweet little furry ball of eight month old German Shepherd mix preciousness. He has the best temperament, so calm and affectionate, and is a perfect inside dog (except he does shed, unfortunately). I'm completely in love. He was a rescue, and had been abused and abandoned by his previous owners, so he's a little timid around new people and places. But he's the biggest sweetheart I've ever seen. He gets along well with Murphy (who is a little confused about why he suddenly has to share toys and the yard with a new pup) and is really just the perfect fit for me. 


Unfortunately, my new camera charger hasn't arrived yet, so pictures will be coming soon, and believe me, you will fall in love with him!
