The Journey Into Adulthood

After spending yesterday on the absolute longest walk of my life I decided this afternoon would be great for a little R&R. We decided to take the dogs on a walk yesterday because it was still super warm out. Lately we've been about 10 degrees above our normal weather, which I love and hate at the same time. I love that it's warmer because I'll be miserable when it gets to winter, but I'm not a fan of it being so hot outside since I love fall so much! We walked to a local coffee shop around here that we love called Coffee Trader. They have about 20 different types of frozen coffee drinks, which just so happens to be our favorite type of coffee! I enjoyed my favorite "the Alp," which is basically a caramel frappe with much better coffee. Matt enjoyed the "Choco Cocoa," which is basically a double chocolate frappe. By the time we walked there from our house we were exhausted, as were the dogs. We drank our coffee and about four bottles of water and took the long walk home.

Today we decided we really needed to clean the house. We woke up early thanks to the dogs and were finished cleaning by noon. The entire house is now clean and I feel great about it!!

We also decided to re-decorate our bathroom, which makes us feel like total adults. We live pretty boring married lives now. We spent last night buying new stuff for the bathroom and then cleaned the house today and did some more redecorating. We're pretty lame!

We also bought Buster and Bella a new toy, which Buster LOVES. He did put a hole in it and tried to eat the squeaker, but he still likes it even though it doesn't squeak. Enjoy the pictures of Bella pulling Buster across the floor by the toy.

And now for your viewing enjoyment....PICTURE TIME!



Our bathroom BEFORE.



New shower curtain with a pretty black, white, and gray skyscape.



New picture on clearance at Target. It has the same skyscape idea with similar colors. We used black and gray towels and the white has some red. The next step is a red/burgandy bath mat and a red seat cover to give it some color.





Bella pulled Buster across the floor with the toy in both of their mouths.

These next pictures are them being disgustingly dirty. It rained one day and we didn't have time to put them inside so we left them out and this is what we ended up with. Two gross, dirty dogs!
