Cookies! I Mean, Dog Treats!

So I went Christmas shopping last night. Now I just couldn’t forget the little puppy dogs in my life so I made a little stop at the local doggie bakery here in town.

They make all sorts of unique treats and things for dogs. We went in for the first time last weekend and I was completely amazed at the creativity in this place! They had doggie bling, bath robes and booties, hats, complete outfits, doggie beds, unique food and water bowls, hair bows, doggie perfume and much much more...

One of their specialties, is freshly baked dog treats. Now these are no ordinary dog treats you would find at Wal-Mart or your local pet store. If you didn’t know better, you would think these were Christmas cookies your Mom would make for your family Christmas gathering. They’re all natural and made of peanut butter or chicken liver flavoring and cleverly decorated with yogurt and carob. Here is what I left with. It took quite a bit of time to decide, they're all so amazing!

I am the Grinch!

So I realized it's been a really really long time since we last posted. Sorry! Life has been crazy here! With all the holiday stuff, med-school stuff and wedding planning, we are pretty busy!
Usually Christmas is a fun time for me. I enjoy all of the planning, gift buying, baking and decorating. This year however has been extremely rough! I have been so stressed at work that I leave there every day just overwhelmed and exhausted. I feel bad for Dustin who has to deal with my crankiness! The other day I noticed that when people ask me how I'm doing, my first response has been to tell them that I'm ready for all of this holiday madness to be over.

I feel like such a Grinch!

So in an attempt to get myself back in the holiday spirit, I decided to finally put up my Christmas M&M village. I just started collecting it last year so it's still pretty slim. But I still like it!

I want so bad to feel bad for the people that were scammed but I just find it so hard to believe that they could possibly think that this is a good idea. Honestly??

Friends!

So Dustin and I, along with some
good friends, went to visit some
dear friends in Washington last weekend.

It was so nice to see them!




We got to meet their new
little baby Isaac.
Isn't he such a cutie?!!












Friday afternoon, we went hiking
on Mount Rainier.
It was Isaac's first time hiking.
He even had his own
cool little backpack to ride in!
The life!!!



Then Saturday we decided to visit Seattle.
We took the ferry into the city.









This is a bathroom.
It looks and almost acts
like an elevator.
Right in the middle of
the sidewalk!





We had to get our picture
with the giant,
life-sized hot dog!


























Peter decided he wanted to be in our picture.
Turned out to be a pretty good picture of him!

Hmmm...
future Daddy??

I love this picture!!!


So fun times!
What would we do
without friends?!

this very cool theatre before 6 months in advance to the event.
So yesterday was the 6 month date
and we went in and signed the contract.
