Introducing: Suzie Q!

I love dogs. Grown up with dogs my whole life. Dog-sat for co-workers at each of my previous jobs. I love dogs. However, I have not had a dog of my very own. Granted my little Grace was as close to being my own dog as any up to this point, but still she has to live with mom. This past weekend, I adopted my very own dog. She's a sweetheart. Only 4 years old, potty-trained (praise Jesus), past the chewing up furniture (and baseboards) stage, super cuddly, loves to go on her walks, doesn't really bark or lick...she's pretty great. She's got a pretty intense case of separation anxiety, but considering she's lived in at least two other households before mine and she's only 4 years old - can't really blame her. Hopefully, as we get into a routine that will begin to fade a bit. And right now she's not terribly interested in playing with her toys, but again as she grows more comfortable in her new setting, she will likely begin to loosen up and play with the toys. Oh, and I bet you're dying to see a pic of her - so here ya go!

New Apartment (again)

For those eager to see my new digs (...uh, that would be you miss Becca)...here is a picture collage:


I'm really enjoying the faux wood floors - that and the fireplace seem to give it a very homey feeling. Plus, love my brand new kitchen appliances...as you can tell by the kitchen pics, I love to cook but not quite as good at keeping up with the clean up afterward. The bedroom is enormous with a every woman's favorite walk-in closet, which is one of many closets in this apartment...there's an entry closet near the front door, a hall closet between my bedroom and bathroom, a linen closet in the bathroom, and a storage closet out on the balcony...yep my sister is quite envious of all my storage. And did you notice the built in book shelves right as you enter the apartment?! love it! And my sister would like you to know that she was the creative guru who decorated that whole bookshelf.
