An update in the form of a list:
1.) We have been getting a ton of work done to our house recently. I know that in the long run, I will be happy that we got these things done. But, at the present time, the state of my house is really beginning to stress me out.
2.) One of the first things we had done was have a deck built in our backyard. My HOA made this process much more difficult that it needed to be, but, I couldn’t be happier with the results.
3.) The whole two dog thing has gotten a bit easier. Sherlock still wakes us up at 6AM every single morning (weekends included), but, he doesn’t whine/cry/howl for hours in his crate in the night, which makes a huge difference.
(Sometimes, when she is super exhausted, Gracie even tolerates cuddle time with her brother.)
4.) Danny got a new truck two weeks ago. It has a cold air intake that makes the engine ROAR when he cranks it or accelerates. It is the funniest thing ever.
5.) We had family in town a few weeks ago. It was the first opportunity that Sherlock has had to meet his Great Grandma and Aunt. One of them was happier than the other about his tendency to snuggle in laps.
5.) I have had the chance to eat some really remarkable things. However, nothing will ever be quite as outstanding as marshmallows dipped in half and half fondue (chocolate + peanut butter) and rolled around in graham cracker crumbs.
6.) My busy season at work is in full swing and the next two months look to be pretty stress filled. We have a mountain getaway booked at the end of the summer and I am hoping that having that to look forward to helps keep my mind right when things start getting even crazier at work next month.
That’s all I have for now.
