Meet Tate

This is our new boy! He is as sweet as can be. I can't help but notice the difference between him and Bowie. Tate is mellow and cuddly and dopey and Bowie is high-strung and hyper-alert and kind of grouchy (but will cuddle with me when he wants to). We take them both to the dog park several times a week and Bowie sticks by me and observes the other dogs until he decides they are worthy of playing with. Tate, on the other hand, bounds in and runs around in an uncoordinated manner, trying desperately to play with ALL the dogs and cuddle with all the owners at the same time. They love each other though and it helps me immensely to have them entertain each other. I get so much more done! We love this boy! And, of course, we love Bowie too!

Busy, Busy, Busy

Life is crazier than ever! We left the peace of Boise for the chaos of Draper over a month ago. We are finally moved in (meaning we still have boxes but only in storage).

Nate is working hard. He works really longs days and me and Bowie are ridiculously excited to see him when he gets home.

We are doing our part for the environment by taking public transportation. We carpool together from home about a half hour to the bus/train station where Nate takes the train north for another half hour and I take the bus south for another hour. It makes for a really long day but it means we don't have to buy another car for a while.

We discovered a great dog park right by the train station so when I go back (much) later in the day to pick up Nate, Bowie gets to run and play and harass bigger dogs, which is all he really loves to do.

We have loved being closer to the fams. We just celebrated Nate's Dad's 65Th birthday and had a blast playing the new Beatles Rock Band game. I love being closer to my sisters (even though Hannah just moved up to Utah State, but you can peruse her blog to the right). My mom finally sold her house and will be moving soon!

We are anxiously awaiting the birth of baby-no-name (Nate's sister's baby, whose name is still a mystery to everyone but the immediate family) in less than a week.

We got approval from our landlord to paint our place so I will post some pictures after that!
