What happened to Fiona...


Last week Jeff and I had the brilliant idea to throw a pillow into Fiona's crate before we left for work thinking she'd use it to sleep on. BAD IDEA! When I got home from work that day the pillow had been entirely torn apart by the spastic dog. One week later I came home on my lunch break and noticed Fiona was acting pretty strange. She was throwing up continuously and wouldn't leave my side! If I think Fiona is being more clingy that usual, something has to be up. I took her in to the vet where they started x-rays right away. A few hours later I had to rush her over to the emergency vet hospital for surgery! Apparently miss Fiona had eaten a bunch of the pillow stuffing and it had gotten caught and twisted into her intestines! But three days later she came home again and now she is doing very well! She's already back to eating 2/3 of her normal amount of food, and is nearly done with all of her medications. Thank God!In other news... I have decided that I wasn't participating in the walking challenge anymore.. After going for a 4 mile run and seeing that it only was showing up as 1.6 miles I boycotted the challenge. Hahaha. Oh well.. at least I am running again on my own!

Fiona is okay!



Fiona had emergency surgery Friday night. Jeff and I were both very scared and didn't think we'd be getting her back. :( But after missing her too much for two days we decided to give up some of our honeymoon money in order to pay for Fiona's surgery. So now we have Fiona back home safe and sound!


Bella was so excited to have her buddy back home to cuddle with!

Walking Challenge


So today is the kick-off of my company's "Pedometer Challenge." And what does that mean? I'm going to kick some major butt! We have to log our mileage every day for a month and then whoever has the most steps wins (drum roll please) an Ipod! Okay, so the prize isn't great but I'm just in it for the glory anyway. ;) I'm hoping this will motivate me to start running again!

Have a great day! I'm taking the dog for a walk... woohoo!

House Inspection!


Well today we had our inspection done on the most recent of houses we've put an offer on. Everything seemed to go well, the water heater was brand new which was one of our main concerns so that is good news. Fiona made sure to inspect the grass areas surrounding the entire house.. luckily everything was up to her standards as well! Now we'll just have to wait for the appraiser to swing by sometime next week and give us the okay to get down to business!


Here is my favorite part of this home...the kitchen for all of my non existent cooking skills! It's never too late to pick up a new hobby though, right?

Well thats the latest news on the house hunting journey. I'll keep everyone posted..it is likely to change on day to day basis! But that's okay, it keeps us on our toes. :)

27 dresses




So today my friend Kristi and I went out on a bridesmaid dress shopping expedition... what fun! There is quite the market for these dresses... how is someone as indecisive as myself going to pick one out! Luckily, I'm leaving the decision up to my lovely bridesmaids. We ended up liking a few but still plan on spending a day or two more to look at a few more shops. 360 more days to go...:)
