| The puppy is gone. We had him for a week and were about to give up hope when a friend of a friend was wanting a puppy for his family so we were able to give him a good home.
Nothing much going on here. I have been working, sleeping, hanging around, doing laundry, washing dishes, picking up the house, etc. Phill has been working like normal.
We are planning on heading to IN on Friday after Phill gets off of work. We will drive through the night and stop at my Grandparents house at the lake. Then I will be in Muncie Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. We were supposed to be in IN longer but they needed Phill at work so vacation will be cut short. It will still be nice to spend time with friends and family without the stress of planning a wedding at the same time.
The Harry Potter 5 movie comes out tonight at midnight. I was planning on going when I realized that I have to work tomorrow. Going to bed at 3:00 am and waking up at 6:15 am doesn't seem like a smart idea. So I will be here at the house sleeping while my hubby and a friend go to see it. I cannot wait for the book!
I am currently reading the Circle trilogy by Ted Dekker. The books are titled Black, Red, and White. Right now I am in the middle of Red. Such a good series by a great author! If you are looking for a cool Christian author who writings are totally different than anything you have ever read, go pick up one of his books. I suggest either Showdown or the Circle trilogy. If you pick Showdown, hang in there. You will be wondering what in the world is going on and why this is one of my favorite books but you just gottta hang in there and keep reading. You'll understand.

| Some friends of ours from church showed up at our door last night. In their arms was a puppy. It was one of two puppies that were found in his backyard hiding under a trailer. We played for a while and they went home. Phill and I talked about taking the other puppy but did not quite know how we would do that especially since our landlord already told us "no". I was working today and called Phill at lunchtime as usual. Phill told me that we were taking the puppy dog and giving it a home, our home. I took a deep breath and said "Okay, but your talking to the landlord" He then left for work. I picked up the puppy that had been hanging out at Kim and Scotts for a couple of hours. Puppy and I have since returned home.
In the hour we have spent together, I am seriously rethinking my desire for a puppy. I am so tired all I want to do is sit on the couch and watch a movie. But I need to make sure the puppy isn't eating anything, pottying on the floor, hiding under the bed, chewing up towels. And I'd like to play with it, but he plays rough! My arms are scratched up from his sharp little paws. I gave him a bath while he cried at the top of his lungs. Which really makes me worry about how he will act tonight when it is time to go to sleep. He has pottied on the floor once. It was then that I realized that we have no paper towels. *sigh* I took him outside to do his business a little bit later but he refused. He is now finally asleep beside me. I'll admit, he is EXTREMELY cute (especially now that he has had a bath) but I don't know if I am ready for motherhood yet. I'd be watching him the most alone because Phill will be at work. I don't know...
I have to wonder if this is God's way of telling me that I am not ready for a dog. If so, I'm really glad this dog was free and not $700. If that was the case, I'd most likely be crying as I wrote this post.
What to do... what to do... | | |
| So even since the landlord said no to a puppy, I've been searching for a pet to fulfill my pet-loving needs. I want a little something to play with and laugh at. To love and care for. To take pictures of and smile at. So I figured that a small animal in a cage would be a good option that the landlord would go for. So I start brainstorming cage animals. Hampster, no.
Guinea pig, absolutely not.
Rabbit, too big.
Fish, already killed 3.
Turtle, maybe but not cute.
Snakes and spiders, not even an option!
So then I started thinking about more exotic pets.
Chincilla, Phill said no.
Ferret, they bite plus they are big.
Hedgehog, a little pokey but definitely a possibility!
So I am researching the whole hedgehog idea. Hedgehogs are so cute and their quills aren't are sharp as they look. They are small and don't make big poo. They like to sleep in little hedgehog sleeping bags. You can train them to use a litter box. But then I come across a list of states where keeping hedgehogs as pets is illegal. Guess what?! Hedgehogs are illegal in Georgia.
I have come to the conclusion that I will never have a pet. I will forever be alone while Phill is at work. Maybe I should create a make-believe pet. Hopefully I won't have to clear that with the landlord or the state. | | |
| I can't decide if I like summer or not. So I'm going to make a pro/con list to decide:
Pro:
see Phill every morning
warm sunshine
flip-flops
pool
no homework
sleeping in
Palmer Home (missions trip)
Con:
lonely
far away from friends and family
lonely
no puppy (Phill and I found a puppy we really wanted to buy but our landlord said that we couldn't)
lonely
I have to cook because I don't have the excuse of having homework
lonely
So summer is really great all except that I am lonely. I still have friends in Cleveland but that is still a long drive especially with gas so expensive. I really wanted to get the puppy we found. It could have been my friend and my little summer project in potty training it. I was really upset when our landlord said no. Phill and I have to decided to pray that he changes his mind. I know that sounds silly but God cares about little things too. | | |
| I know...it has been about 2 months since I last updated. Oh well...
I am now married! The wedding went according to plans without any major problems. Married life is definitely a gift from God and I thank Him for providing me with a husband that meets my every want and need.
We are all moved into our house. Right now it is a complete disaster zone with dishes and clothes and presents scattered everywhere. I just have not had time to clean very well because of school.
School cannot be done soon enough. It has been one of my worst and least-liked semesters out of the 6 I have taken. I will truly TRULY be thankful when I finish my last final on Tuesday. Praise God for 7 more days...
That is all I really have to say. Maybe if I find time and energy I'll post pictures of the wedding and of our house after finals. | | |
