Puppies!!! Help us name them!

So, I have been wanting a dog for FOREVER now.

I always had dogs growing up and now that we finally have a place of our own, I REALLY wanted a little furbaby.

We have been looking at adopting, rescuing, buying and just had bad timing or whatever.

Well, yesterday when we were looking through the paper we saw 2 ads for maltese- thats what Michael wanted (I wanted Cavalier King Charles but they are expensive and shed appearently...) but then he googled a maltipoo and we found a guy in Cleveland. The picture on his website was so cute. They looked fake, like stuffed animals. So, we went 'just to look' and we saw the cute little guys thats pics were on the internet- ready to go- 3 little white and tan puffs ball. So I played with them and we talked with the breeder Gregg- really nice guy. I was really focused on the puppies so I have no clue what Gregg really said I just know I heard him talk and every once and a while I would respond.

In a seperate kennel were 2 little darker puff balls and Gregg said they were not ready yet even though they were a little bit bigger. They were a brother and sister and the only two in the litter. They are so cute! and according to Gregg the girl is spunky(she has a white paw) and the boy is a little more lazy. They chewed my finger and snuggled with me a little. So, Michael, who does nothing 'half way' says thats what he wants- both of them! We put our deposit down and we will be able to visit this week and take them home nest week! YAY!

We can't wait to bring them home he said sometime the week of December 15th(Michael's birthday!)

Help us find some cute names for them. So far we like Carter and Cash and Martini and Rossi...what do you think?

Thankful for my family.

Last Sunday, the 23rd, Michael and I drove to McMinnville to have a big meal with everybody on my mom's side. I am so sad I didn't take a picture- I left my camera in my purse!

Then on Tuesday, Michael's mom hosted Grandma and Grandpa, his Uncle Billy, Aunt Christina and girls Sammi and Amanda, his sister Ashley, her husband Chris and their boys Jake and Ashton all came and stayed until Sunday! We ate everything you can think of! They cooked something new everyday!

On Thursday, my mom and brother DJ came up to eat a great meal with deep fried turkeys(yes, 2!) a country ham and a sugar ham and tons of delish fixins with the rest of the crew.

I was full and lazy and watched the Macy's parade and did a little shopping(and lots of left overeating) on Friday. AND I tried on my first wedding gown!(probably not the best time to try on a dress when you've done nothing but eat for a week- but I'm still very excited about it- more about that later).

Then, on Saturday I drove to see my dad and had ANOTHER delicious feast at his house. I also got to see sweet Izabella(and she brushed her teeth for her DanDan). And she blew kisses:)

I drove back to Chattanooga Saturday night just in time to make Snowman soup(hot chocolate) and bake some Gingerbread cookies with all the kiddos.

I am so thankful for everyone and I loved all the yummy food and I especially loved getting to see my family!
