Miss Rylee

Our puppy has a name! Here's the little lady....

She has a bit of a dopey look like her daddy, Duke.

But she's so precious!

Shadow is Rylee's Aunt...

Rylee loves to play with Shadow, it's so cute!

And Shadow is really good with Rylee.

Aren't they sweet? :)

I've lived 19 years wanting a puppy, and my patience has paid off with a sweet blessing!

A desire fulfilled is sweet to the soul...

{Proverbs 13:19a}

I'll leave you with some sleepy puppy love :)

Ben brought her over the other night...

and I gave her an old stuffed animal of mine...

she played with it like another puppy...

and slept with it like another puppy ;)

Engagement Photos

A few weeks back, Ben and I went off with our friends Lauren and Jean Marie for our

engagement photoshoot. We had a blast, and we love the photos!

I originally asked Lauren to do the photos, but then we decided to have Jean tag

along (which was so much fun, she kept us laughing :).

I love this man.

Many, many thanks to you, Lauren and Jean!  Love you!

Pinterest

Are you obsessed with Pinterest?

...yeah, me too.

It's such a great spot for inspiration and creativity sparks (which, I guess is the same thing as inspiration... just more fun to say ;).

Here are some of my current favorite pins...

Embroider your trip and frame/scrapbook it.  How cute!?

Love this.

See?  Really gets me thinking creatively.

Lord willing, in the future ;)

Best fitness plan. ever.

Ooh I can't wait :D

And because I think it's cute and it makes me laugh...

Yes, ghost poop.  I know.  Kind of... odd.  But you have to admit, so cute!
