HBD Maggie!

Sidenote: tomorrow is our closing day. Everything is scheduled as planned but I don't think I'll actually breathe until the keys are in my hand. We are very excited but I'm ready for the process to all be over. I'm even ready to move in so that my brain can move on in life. Still not sure when we will actually move because we want to get new floors and paint first. I'll make sure to take lots of before photos so that I can keep all you dear far away friends updated on our home ownership  journey. 

But let's back up a few weeks to when we celebrated Maggie's birthday. She turned 2 years old and you know we spoiled her with some yummy puppy pie. Are we cruel dog parents for making her earn her pie on her birthday by doing tricks? Maybe.

We love, love, LOVE her. I can't imagine life without her. Todd had work to do Sunday uptown and we decided to take her with us. Maybe not the best decision when you are trying to work but she was so chill and would just lay down most of the time. I fell in love with her even more that day and so did lots of strangers in the city. The only thing she barked at was the horse carriages. She did NOT like them. 

We hope to have many more years with this sweet pup of ours!

Happy Birthday!

This past week we celebrated Todd's 27th birthday! He felt lots of love from his coworkers during the day and later in the night a few of us went out for dinner at Firebirds. I'm so so SO thankful for him! 

Happy Birthday babe! I love you! 

                                  

To end this post, I'll leave you with a series of ridiculously cute sleepy puppy pics just for fun!

Weekend Photo Dump

This weekend we were home and had basically zero plans. Weekends like that are far and few so we took advantage of it. Friday night we went to the mall to shop at the new H&M. This is how we shop together: we split up, do our own shopping (quickly), text a photo of what we find and meet back up. We can be in and out of the mall in an hour. Here is one I sent to Todd which is very librarian of me. All I need is a bun and I'd be set!

Saturday was a beautiful day so we took Maggie to the dog park. Unfortunately she doesn't do much playing. Instead she decided to take a mud bath. Grrrrrr. 

Which led to us having to give her a bath. We have a local DIY place that allows you to bathe your pet ($15) which was well worth it because there was no way I was letting her in our house like that!

But she really can be a sweet girl. Just look at the way I found her sleeping in our bedroom on the floor. Adorable! 

Even though the Spring temperatures aren't really here to stay just yet, I decided that it was time for a Jamicure on my toes anyways. I love this pattern and I love even more that I don't have to worry about them chipping. If you want some yourself, visit my website by clicking here.

Thanks for following along! Hope you had a great weekend too!

Snow Day

A few weekends ago we actually got snow in Charlotte! Growing up, I remember getting snow often but it seems to be rare these days. The snow came really fast and covered the ground within fifteen minutes. I had never seen anything like it before. Todd took this video during that time...

This was Maggie's first snow and she loved it! She kept wanting to eat the snow. Warning: I have an insanely high pitch southern baby talk voice. Todd especially loves to make fun of my "woooooo" at the end. 

The snow reminded us of our sweet memories from when we lived in Boone. Surprisingly, we never got many snow pics together when we lived there and the only one I got from our Charlotte snow is blurry. Go figure.

Home sweet home looking mighty cozy in the snow.

Cheers to yet another great moment.
