Hoover's New Home

Welcome to the family Hoover! He was adopted this July from the Humane Society. He was a lost dog whose family came to get him but didn't have the money and never came back. Honestly, I just fell for the wrinkles....sooo cute.

It didn't take him long to make himself feel right at home.

Graduation from beginner dog classes....top of the class!
(Looks a little smooshed in the picture)

The boys sure do love their nap time!

Looking very academic.

Hoover's first camping trip

Tying the Knot and Jumping the Broom

It's official. I tied the knot with Naveen on Friday December 19th 2008 at the Rogers House Inn Bed and Breakfast in Lincoln NE.

Enjoy the pictures

Ummm...You Want Me to Put My Body WHERE???

Getting locked out seems to be something I have gotten surprisingly good at the last year and a half. Up to this point I had only locked myself out of my car once. The tally for the most recent year had much more startling figures.

Times locked out:
Car: 4 Times-All were involving me attempting to go to Subway for dinner.
House: 3 Times- 2 of which were not a big deal since the back door was left unlocked partially due to the inability to close it completely in weather above 55 degrees Fahrenheit. The last time I had to call in the troops.

The Re-Enactment

Jeff: "Hahahaha!!! Amanda is so dumb. I can't believe she locked herself out again. And I was just telling Terry about the times I picked her up at Subway 'cuz the girl left her keys in the car."

Amanda: "Sheesh, just be a man and get me into the house."


Kitchen Window: The Only Way In

Jeff: "Hmm. Really. So that's how far the window opens? I'm glad I didn't eat dinner yet, because otherwise there is no way I would fit through that teeny tiny opening."

Amanda: "I would have tried, but my heft would have gotten wedged"

Jeff: "This could be fun. I hope there is scandalous material strewn about the house."

All systems go!!!

Amanda: "Glad I did the dishes."

What a graceful entrance! Are you sure you haven't done this before???

Ahhhh sweet sweet success!

Thanks Jeff for bailing me out again!
