Life, schedule, and "kids"

Well, I have been wanting to start blogging for a while now. I included "start blogging" as one of my New Years resolutions. It is hard to find time for these extra curriculars with everything we have going on. With that said, we set a new closing date on the house today.... February 7th. Lets just hope everything works out including getting the lien off the house and finishing the long list of to-do's. This list may be long but it gets a little shorter every day. Right now we are living with friends... THANKS again to Elizabeth and Steven for housing the homeless. It will be nice to settle into our own place, unpack, and reopen our wedding gifts - which the Roethles' have graciously been storing for us. We have great friends!


Rhyme and Tempest, our "kids", are adjusting to their new surroundings. Rhyme adjusts much faster than Tempest. Tempest is scared of everything. I think she is even afraid of Elizabeth and Steven. She doesn't seem to come out of her crate unless we are there. However, Steven stated that she is starting to come around. Rhyme is always around wagging her tail and following everyone around... especially if you venture towards the kitchen. She is always happy to clean up the kitchen floors. I think she follows you into the kitchen and stays close enough to you, hoping she will 'accidentally' trip you and you will spill whatever food item you may be carrying. They are adorable, lovable, and lickable. Well, they do the licking - but you got the idea. One more big adjustment for them make...

I attached an old picture of them... they are a little bigger but just as cute!
