PIPER

We love Piper and it's crazy that we've had her for about a month.. It seems much longer than that. She does the funniest things. Some include her mad sprints/laps around the couch, her rolling on her back and laying belly-up, and sometimes sitting like a person would sit--completely on her bottom. We're definitely learning her personality and she is learning ours.. She now knows when I'm cooking in the kitchen, if I look at her it means she needs to get out of the kitchen although she always sneaks right back in. We've also been teaching her how to sit, lay down, stay, jump, and off. She's catching on and does it most of the time, but when she's distracted by new people she's not too keen to listening to us.

We're excited that the weather is going to be getting warm soon so we can start taking her outside to play and teach her to walk on a leash.. She's not too big of a fan of it now. But it'll be fun for her to play outside with Syd and Nick's dog Lucius during the summer.

Alright, I'm a procrastinator...

So I haven't posted in FOREVER and I feel like a lot has happened since the last post. Most important and was my birthday! Abel surprised me with many awesome presents and a day full of activities including a surprise hair cut (where I cut off all my hair), new make up from his parents, called my boss and got me off work for the day, took me to breakfast and dinner, and threw me a party that night. It really was a blast. Love you Abel!

Happy Valentine's Day

Abel and I didn't have much time to really celebrate, so we decided to just have a nice dinner together in our front room where we both dressed up (this made it feel more fancy smancy). 

I made a great roast, mashed potatoes, and corn.

 Abel supplied the warm fire place and the tulip.

 It was a fun first Valentine's Day together and we're both excited for more to come... 

Piper Sng-- The Min Pin

We got a PUPPY! Meet Piper Sng. She is nine weeks old and the cutest Min Pin you've ever seen. On our first day together, we took her to the store to buy her a harness and a leash. She is so small that we could really only find one harness that fit her and we adjust it to be as small as it goes. After that we went to the BYU vs. Utah hockey game and she snuggled on our lap the whole time. As hard as it is to get a puppy because you have to potty train her and teach her not to chew on the rugs, cords, shoes, clothes, etc. we really love her and are excited to raise her. 

Hainan Chicken and Rice

So, Abel doesn't cook very much, which I think is probably pretty common for the average male college student. But for the past week or so he's been telling me how he's going to cook me dinner-- some singaporean food. So finally tonight he made me this Hainan chicken and rice. Although our pantry is not stocked with all the asian herbs and spices yet, it was still really good! If you want to try it click here for the recipe.

Start Blogging!

Well, I finally decided that since I've had my blog created for about 2 months, it was probably time to actually write a blog post. I recently have been looking at my friends blog and was inspired. If you all want to see a great blog check out http://danielandchristalbridge.blogspot.com. Looking at Christal's blog makes me miss her so much! And it makes me want to hurry and graduate school so I will finally have time to do fun things like she is doing. I wish I had more time for crafts and baking and homemaking... All in time I guess. Until then, I'll continue getting my accounting degree (although I'm not so sure how much I was a career in the accounting world).

To Christal-- I miss you so much. You look like you are having a great time in Hawaii and you are becoming such a great photographer.
