Sometimes you just CAN'T win

Pros of a doggy door....

- those dogs who can't ever decide if they want to be inside or outside, you don't have to let them in and out continously until they decide!

- you don't have to worry about accidents in the hosue when your gone for 10+ hours a day or waking up to a surprise in the morning as your running out the door for work because she just couldn't hold it until you woke up.

- your dog seems to sence a little more freedom being able to go in and out as they please - whether to go to the bathroom, take a run around the yard or just to get some fresh air. While they can be stuck home alone for many hours during the day, they don't have to be stuck in the house.

Cons of a doggy door......

- a trashy yard!!!!!!!

We thought that putting in a doggy door would be so good for Chloee. Giver her a chance to get some fresh air on the days we are gone ALL day and give her no excuse for messes in the house anymore!

But we didn't realize that having a doggy door could be such a bad thing!

Only some of the things we have found in our back yard due to Chloee deciding to entertain herself while we are gone...

shredded plastic bags
cereal boxes (box and plastic torn open = cereal covered yard)
box of dryer sheets (our yard smelled like dryer sheets all night)
tupperware
shredded paper plates and Ziploc baggies
box of fruit snacks
Braxton's toys (especially stuffed animals)
Braxton's treat cups

As you can see..... you can't win everything

Our Love Story....

Nate and I met back in 2004 when I asked him to my shcool's Halloween Dance and I guess I impressed him a little more than I thought I would. We went through a lot during our dating years but we were somehow always able to get through everything and knew we always would. Nate Proposed to me on November 17, 2007 at the Roof Restraunt and I was shocked. Definately not expecting it that night. We were sealed for time and all eternity almost 4 months later on March 13, 2008. We couldn't have picked a better day. We were one of only 8 other couples there that day so we had a lot of time and I got treated like a princess! Everone was so nice! It rained quite a bit during our pictures and reception and it was pretty cold outside but I was told that rain on your wedding day is good luck! That was the best day of our lives up to this point!

I realized just after our first anniversary that people weren't kidding when they said the first year is the hardest! It definitley wasn't easy but we learned so much about each other and ourselves that it was also a great year! We got our first house in October 2008 and Nate surprised me with our first little one, Chloee a golden lab, on Christmas Day 2008. We had a lot happen our first year of marriage and knew that the years to come would bring more happenings.

We just celebrated our second anniversary. Who would have thought that our second year of marriage would have brought what it did! We were blessed with our first child, a healthy beautiful baby boy, on February 26, 2010. The day he was born was the second best day of our lives! He has already brought so much joy to our lives in the little time that we have had him.
