Now, why it didn't end so rotten? Well, not having a date weekend to celebrate 15 years of marriage allotted us extra time to visit with a potential new "furry" addition to the family. And we fell. in. love.
Next Tuesday, we will be adding a precious 2 month old tri-colored Australian Shepherd. The kids are so excited. We are still floating around names: Luther, Calvin, Pepper, Piper, Tebow and MacArthur --- leaning heavily toward Pepper though. His nose looks like someone dumped pepper all over it :)
Pictures to come!
