Allie

This past Thursday was a very sad day, we had to put our golden retriever, Allie to sleep. Allie was 14 years old so her health had been slowly deteriorating this past year and late Wednesday night she had a stroke. We knew it was her time but it was still so hard.

I got Allie as a Christmas present in 6th grade and she stole all of our hearts immediately! She brought so much happiness to our little family and we needed her just as badly as she needed us. She was SUCH a good dog and was incredibly sweet, smart and obedient. She had so many tricks she had mastered and loved to show off. She was my first dog and if I ever get another one, my expectations will probably be very out of line because Allie was pretty perfect.

As I said, Allie was 14 years and 8 months old. She lived a long great life and was very loved and spoiled (she deserved it)! We could not have asked for a better dog and we loved her so very much. I will always cherish all of the happy memories we had with her and she will be very missed by many people.

Hayley's Baby Shower

I know this seems like a common theme at the beginning of all of my posts now but sorry it has been so long since i have posted, things have just been very busy lately! Good busy, but busy none the less. Anywho...

Two weekends ago I went to Spartanburg for Hayley's Baby Shower for baby Grace. It was a day filled with yummy food, funny shower games, cute onsies and best of all great company! :)

We will be meeting Grace before we know it! Hayley is due April 13 but Grace is expected to arrive a little early. Grace, please come anytime now- we are all awaiting your arrival and cannot wait to meet you!

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the shower.

Atlanta

So I know my blog has been very boring recently but that is because I have been very boring. I feel like all I have been doing recently is work, work work. Which will probably be the story of my life at least until July, but thats ok....

This past weekend Matt and I went to Atlanta. We stayed with Courtney and Keith and celebrated Courts 26th Birthday. It was the first time weve really gotten to hang out with them since they got engaged in December and we had such a good time! 

On Sunday we went out to lunch with Matts sister Hayley and her husband Jay. We had not seen them since football season so it had been way too long. We went and looked at their new house (which I loved) and saw their new baby room (which I loved even more) which is ready and waiting for the arrival of Grace Austen! :) It was great to see them and we will get to see them again this weekend for Hayleys baby shower so I will be sure to post about that next week.



Here are some pics from the weekend...

Happy B-day Court!
