Just a little catch up :)

Hey All!

I haven't written for awhile so I wanted to catch up a little. I can't say that a ton has been going on, although there never seems to be a dull moment! 

There have been a few exciting/new things going on...

First of all, we got a new fence (I know, I know SOOOOO exciting) but really if you had the fence we had you'd be equally as excited. So here are some before and after photos.

So I lied,we don't really have any before pictures, which makes sense because that thing was in ROUGH shape. But, here are some after photos....it's so pretty :) A big thanks to Pops for helping us get that done!

Anyways, I realize how old lady I sound talking about our new fence so I'll stop :) 

Another kinda big thing that has been going on is that John and I have been searching for a sibling for Woody. We have been approved by both the Ho-Bo Care Denver Boxer Rescue and the Northern Plains Boxer Rescue and currently have a girl (that we renamed Jessie) at our house. We have decided to be her foster parents for now, until we decide whether she is a good fit both for us and Woody...and that's proving to be a little bit of a challenge. Woody and her are still trying to figure out if they can be friends or not. I should say that Jessie hasn't had the best life (like most shelter dogs). It seems as if she's never really been loved and certainly was never trained. She listens pretty well but has a few things to work on, such as counter surfing and some food aggression. I guess our first instinct is that she isn't a good fit, but then again it could get better if her and Woody decide to play nice. If anyone in this world can train her, it's John but i'm not sure we're up for that challenge. Here are the few pictures we have :)

She has beautiful markings, but a face only a mother could love :)

Her and Woody do "kinda" get along

She got comfortable fast, but she's not so sure about Woody

Besides the dog and fence stuff, I can't say there has been a ton going on. I finally have health insurance, and I can say I've never been so excited to be able to go to the doctors! I leave for VT on Thursday, i'm really excited! It's going to be a busy/fast 3.5 days though, I feel like every hour is booked but that's okay! Hopefully we can find the most beautiful wedding dress and I can see all the family and friends I  miss so much, those are my two goals! Unfortunately I'm going to miss my dearest friend Emily by only a couple days, we did not plan our dates very well. 

I would also like to give a HUGE congratulations to my best friend Hally Berg on getting accepted into Montana State's graduate program!!! Sadly, she'll be moving at the end of this month to Bozeman, Montana but I couldn't be happier for her! We're sure going to miss her and Scott but we're already planning a trip!
