We had another nice relaxing weekend. I was off on Friday (we started a new 9/80 schedule at work) and I got to go see Carsten and Cara before they left town. I did some running around and managed to get Raeven's hair done. She looks so cute! Saturday I had to help my mom with her garage sale. IT WAS crazy! She made something like $1300! She had a lot of crap to get rid of. Sunday I went to church and lunch with Karol, while Andrew stayed at home and cleaned. Then we packed the children in the car and went to the dog park. We took evil Chipug, but we made sure she had her bark collar. She only attacked one dog, so we consider this trip successful :) After the dog park, we stopped by Andrew's parents house to show off our new baby. We also ran into Aunt Carol. Overall, it was another nice weekend!
Andrew and I had a good weekend. We actually spent a lot of time together. I don’t think we realized that we needed a break from life and worries and such, and just needed us time. Saturday night we went to the Studio Movie Grill and had date night. We saw The Departed. The movie sucked, but the time together was nice. Sunday we got up and went to church with Karol, Melody, and Jesse. It was SOO nice to go to church! The message was great and it really hit home. Then Sunday afternoon we went to go meet Raeven and brought her home. We spent the evening with the children just chilling. It was nice, all of it!
Sometimes I wonder what is wrong with Andrew and me! Let me explain, it happened like this. I saw a post on the Pug Meetup site for a dog that needed a home. I asked Andrew if we could add a dog to our family. He said yes. I emailed the woman. She responded. We went to meet her and pick up the dog yesterday. NOW, are we crazy? I think so!
Raeven Dove (Raeven is her original name, but I added the Dove part because Raven Dove is a Dolly song) is SOOO cute and she is very small. She only weighs 6 pounds! She is a very expensive Brussel Griffon. We did not buy her, we just adopted her. No money exchanged hands :) BTW...she needs a good haircut. Hopefully, we can go get her cut this weekend. I think she looks like a mini Chubacca (however you spell that!).
Maybe we are crazy, but we are happy and she has a good home now. Can you tell Andrew is smitten with her?
I made the pumpkins and put them on my desk.
The leaf magnets I made for Ro (my co-worker) because I had made some magnets for some other people, and she was feeling left out!
My other co-worker Jenny sent me the cute pug Halloween card! I made the little candy corn magnets to accent the card ;)
I love the fall!
We love the cooler weather. It has been so nice. Last weekend we decided the BBQ and eat dinner outside.
"I HATE YOU for buying new furniture. I'm never snugging with you AGAIN, EVER!!" 
The Way We Were
Memories,
Like the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another (Pascal: WE USE TO BE SOMETHING SPECIAL, YOU USE TO LET ME DO WHATEVER I WANTED TO DO)
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line? (Pascal: TIME AND MARRIAGE, EVER SINCE YOU MARRIED THAT MORON MY LIFE HAS GONE TO THE DOGS)
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? (Pascal: HELL YES WE WOULD, WE WERE LIVING THE LIFE)
could we? (Chipug: NO BECAUSE DADDY YELLS AT US)
Memories, may be beautiful and yet
Whats too painful to remember (Chipug: HOW COULD YOU? DONT I DESERVE TO BE COMFORTABLE?)
We simply choose to forget (Chipug: I AINT FORGETTIN NOTHING, YOU BETTER LOCK YOUR DOORS AT NIGHT LADY)
So its the laughter (Pascal: AND THE BIG FLUFFY PILLOWS)
We will remember
Whenever we remember...The way we were...The way we were...
Andrew and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary over the weekend. We went to dinner and had a romantic evening. Andrew bought me some perfume and a beautiful cross necklace. Love you Sparky!
Oh yeah, we also ate the remaining piece of our wedding cake. It was gross!
Andrew and I got some new furniture this weekend! The only way I could get him to go and even LOOK at new furniture was if I promised him he could have a recliner. Hey, I had to do what I had to do :) So we ended up finding an AWESOME deal on a sectional at the Macy's furniture outlet, and then we bought his recliner at Fingers. Overall, we got lucky, both pieces we love and were very reasonable. No bad if I do say so myself!
We finally got satellite tv and one day last week Andrew tells me about this new channel. He said it was a Lifetime for Men channel. I tell him I have never heard of it before and he tells me he LOVES it and he is very excited about it. A few days later, while he was surfing, we come across LMN. He tells me that this is the new channel, the new Lifetime for Men Network channel. I say, are you sure about that, LMN stands for Lifetime MOVIE network, NOT MEN network!!! I swear he is SOOO blonde at times!
