Life is good.

We're very (very, very, very, very) excited about Maia's arrival at the end of this month! Justin and I have each read two books about raising puppies and have three more (a piece) to go if we're to read all that we have purchased. On the dining room table, we have bowls, a collar, leash and harness set complete with tag, and two beds. I've spent the past hour (while my adorable husband naps in bed) looking at puppy kindergarten classes, Meetup groups, and writing a very polite but borderline pleading email to our breeder in an effort to get some insight and information about our pup's personality and the picture we have been dying to see since we clicked on that Paypal button that fateful night. Maia's all signed up for puppy kindergarten on Monday nights starting in July! So very exciting...totally what I imagine having a baby will be like (probably on a smaller scale!).

Things are busy, busy, busy here! Our social calendar is awesome, but we have been feeling run down lately. We are home this weekend, a rare and wonderful occurrence. Justin spent the first part of the day on projects while I proctored placement tests at the Aggie. Word on the street is that I will be teaching English next year, and I could not be happier! This year has been challenging for me, to put it mildly, and I am looking forward to putting it behind me and getting back to actually teaching and feeling whole. Justin will be preparing for the CPA exams starting in September - we'll both be going to class! :)

Married life is wonderful. Small group and praying together have only made us closer and our bond stronger. I can't believe it's been ten months since we got married, and I can't believe it's only been ten months since we got married! Traveling to Aruba for our one year anniversary should be an awesome opportunity to just enjoy each other. I feel so blessed every morning when I wake up and every night when I fall asleep next to the man I love, my very best friend. I'm looking forward to this summer and all the firsts we have ahead of us!
