Our first puppy!

Some of my friends want me to blog (although I'm a HORRIBLE blogger---I still read a lot of ya'lls posts) about the newest addition to our family. His name is Oliver and he is our pride and joy. We got him when he was 8 weeks old and he is now almost 15 weeks. Jeremiah and I have never had an animal in the 10 1/2 years of our marriage (except for a short stint the first year with a cat--yuck). Krysta and Kara kept telling me a dog would help me and be a way I could "mother" something while we wait for our time to have children. Jeremiah and I rented the movie "Hotel for Dogs" and saw a little boston terrier named Georgia in the movie. We looked at each other in bed and said, "Let's get one of those dogs!" I told my friend Kara (who mothers 3 boxers) and she found a Boston Terrier kennel online and we put a deposit on a puppy the next day and drove 6 hours to get him 2 days later. He is a purebred Boston Terrier and his parents live there. I was so excited when I got his little family tree papers in the mail!

I had no idea how much my husband and I would love this dog!!!!!!! He goes everywhere with us and sleeps in the middle of our bed with his head on one of our pillows. I know a lot of people are shocked by this since I'm such a clean freak, but he is clean too! We bathe him, brush his teeth, clean his ears, and even wipe him after he goes to the bathroom! He starts training/obedience classes this weekend!

Here he is:

Here he is in the bed the other day. He loves to put his paw around me when he sleeps. Precious! My husband caught the picture and I love it---I was sound asleep!

I am enjoying being out of school for the summer. I get a new music classroom at the elementary school this next year and then a new room at the high school the next year. We have lots of building projects going on! I am just so happy that music is important enough to the district to give me 2 new rooms! My new elementary classroom is 1200 square feet! I will post pics as soon as I get it decorated!

Not much else going on. I work at an office supply store in the morning in the summer and then usually go to the pool in the afternoon. Probably not gonna take a vacation this summer--I'm kinda sad about that, but we have lots of other expenses to take care of this summer and we just can't leave Oliver for a few days! :)

If you read this, please say a prayer for us on the infertility front. We've got some decisions to make soon and I just want the Lord to lead us and for us to feel peace whatever happens.

Blessings...............................
