I didn't fall of the face of the earth.

It's finally starting to slow down a bit. It's been crazy with opening a new store right before my b-day. Then the day after thanksgiving was crazy, but better than the Nave. Ugh.

Christmas came and went. Down with the lights and tree. Our house was really pretty with lights. I wish it wasn't so white trash to have lights up year round. I love christmas lights.

January found us at Odell Lake for the weekend with my parents. We brought Sadie with us. She had fun, but doesn't like the cold much. She borrowed Roxy's (my parents dog) fleece. She looked really cute. It was really nice to get away from Eugene.

Valentine's day- check. Shawn & I celebrated our first married valentine's on monday the 12th instead. We both worked on the 14th. I actually closed. I'm not bitter at all about that.

Our house is coming along thanks to the help of Shawn's parents. They have done so much work. My bathroom is done. An amazing darkness I never thought I'd see light to. It's really pretty. It looks like a magazine. Everything has been painted except the guest room, master bath and the crappy apt.

Our puppy isn't so much a puppy anymore. She's 7 months. She's not as big as we were anticipating. Her head is at my knee. She's starting to fill out. Derby is also realizing that she's not going anywhere. He will play with her outside. On his terms. It's pretty funny.

I can't believe our one year anniversary is around the corner. How did that go so fast? I think it's funny that everyone says your first year is so hard. Mine was eventful, but not difficult as far as the marriage is concerned. That was the safety net. I knew I had Shawn in my life to fall back on. He will always be there to catch me. I'm so blessed to have him. He means everything to me. And sure we may act like an old married couple, we are truly in love.

I hope you've enjoyed this one, because who knows when another is going to be done. ;-)
