Our Internet service is horrible... and that is the *main* reason that I haven't been able to blog this past week and half. I swear, every time we try to get online we have to spend half and hour troubleshooting and running repairs just to get it connected for 10 minutes! Uggh! I am fed up with Mediacom. BUT it seems to be working for now (of course, not the wireless though) so here it goes: A quick update on what we've been up to....
 |
| Last weekend I went to Des Moines to have an "APT 14 Reunion" with my college roommates from senior year. It was a great day and fun night (but we missed you Caitlin!!). |
 |
| YUM. We've been grilling out more now that the weather is cooling down! Ahh the simple joys of Fall in Iowa. :) |
And now the big news! We adopted another dog!! .... I had mentioned a few times that I would like to have a small indoor dog since Rockie is an outdoor dog. I've grown up with small indoor dogs as pets and Kurt grew up with farm dogs (outside, of course). .....One day at the mall my Mom was flagged down by a lady that saw her "I love my Papillion" magnet on the back of the car and wanted to ask if she was interested in another Papillion. Long story short, this lead to us meeting and adopting a papillion from the Humane Society. Random, we know.
This poor little pup was rescued in a thunder storm about a month ago. We're not quite sure what kind of life he lived until now, but we've self-diagnosed him with PTSD. Seriously. He's pretty skittish and clearly has a grudge against all men. He'll follow me everywhere that I go but he still growls and/or barks at Kurt every time he comes in the door. It's been fun watching him warm up to us and get comfortable in his new home... but it is heartbreaking to think what the little guy went through to make him so fearful and jumpy! How can people be mean to such an adorable dog?!?
Anyways, we named him Pita (yep... like the bread). The shelter had named him Peter, but neither of us could handle having a prissy puppy with a traditional human name. LOL. Since the dog was already getting used being called Peter I figured that "Pita" would be a good fit... sound the same, but is much much cooler. Problem solved. Plus, it's a good story isn't it?!?! =)

| Aren't they precious? |
Now we're enjoying the long Labor Day weekend -- it's been nice to have the few days at home. We even took the dogs on a nice long walk yesterday! There are TONS of fun trails around here so we were all loving it.... perfect weather too! Other than that, Kurt is logging lots of hours on his current upholstery job and I'm dedicating time to wedding projects. Needless to say I have found numerous DIY projects that I've fallen in love with for our wedding... I told myself it'd be easy to get them all done before the big day, but time is flying!! We've already been engaged for 6 months and I've done 2 out of like 50. Oops, better get to work. <3
