Dakota

After a long day of work (first the pre-school, and then tutoring) I came home to a quiet house. I hate the quiet... I think that has something to do with being one of five kids. We always had something going on around the house, and I just got used to noise.

Anyway, David got called out to work 30 min before I got off of work, just my luck . :( He was so sweet, that he got me some yummy Mexican food before he left! Now I am just sitting in bed with my adorable puppy watching Love Comes Softly. ( I love this movie!!)

So, I was sitting here thinking and I realized that I never shared pictures of our puppy, Dakota. She is a Chiweenie (Chihuahua- Dachshund mix) and she is about 5 lbs.

You can't really tell how long she is in any of the pictures, but here you are:

Curled up on The Couch


Cuddled in Her Blanket


Hiding Under the Couch


Her Halloween Costume (she was a Spicy Hot Dog)

We're Engaged!!

Ahhhhh... My first Saturday off in a LONG time! SO nice. David is off at the reserves right now, and I am at home with my puppy. I really should be cleaning the house right now, oh well. Anyway, since most of my cousins have a blog, and seem to keep in touch with the family that way, I thought I would try it out.

Anyway, David and I just got engaged on Christmas, and we will be getting married this July! For our first blog, I thought I would share a few pictures of the proposal!

Right before he got down on one knee and asked. I was CLUELESS:
He ASKED!!

YES!!!!
HEY MA, Look what I got!!
