MEET RYZE.

This is Ryze and he really is perfect. Who would have thought we'd get a cat? But after a really hard month in November, somehow getting a cat was the most logical thing to do. 

M (from the other room). Laurie?

L. Yeah babe?

M (still from the other room). Laurie can you come here please?

L (thinking something serious). Yeah, I'm here. What's wrong?

M. I want a cat. (something he's never said before).

L. Ugh, sure. Yeah. 

M. I'm gonna go get one. Today.

And behold Ryze. I wasn't even there to pick him out. First thoughts were:

// He's going to snap out of it. 

// It's just a phase.

// He's not going to find any he likes. 

// He's going to realize that we already have two pets and a third one would be insane.

// Doesn't he know we're dog people?

It seemed that he didn't realize any of that and still came home with a 15 week old kitten. But in his defense Ryze is pretty damn cute. He's crazy affectionate. Purrs 24/7. Loves cuddling with Maggie. And follows us around everywhere. Oh! And we're teaching him to walk on a leash. Pretty cool huh? 

Now I'm crossing my fingers for some cat apparel for Christmas.

Christmas tree 2013 + Video

We FINALLY got a tree. Yes I'm aware Christmas is only six days away. But they say "better late than never."

We had to get the smaller tree this year. ONE because all the good ones were taken already. And TWO because we had no way of getting a big tree home. Our little ole Corolla could't transport anything bigger than the one we got. But I'm pleased with our tree. He's a twerp but he's cute. And on the bright side, he only took a mere three minutes to decorate. No complaints from me.

Last year's tree.

I'm back!

For those who are still reading this blog, I'm back!!!

After taking an almost seven week break from blogging, I found myself sitting at home alone with the itch to write. You know that good itch. The one that means you actually want to blog. So here I am back at it. There's so much that I want to write. So much that I want to share with you all. So many changes around here.

// Like how we got a cat. His name is Ryze.

// Remember when I told you we got a house? Well we've almost finished moving in!

// I completed my first semester of Photography school! With all A's too!

There's so much more. But those are the most important ;)

So anywho! Be expecting me to pop in and out again. 

I've miss you all terribly!

My husband thinks girls don't poop.

Beka from Sunshine 2 the Square Inch shared this hilarious video with me a while back & I rediscovered it in my inbox. It cracks me up every time I watch it. 

I've mentioned before that Mitch hates the idea that us ladies do the two, if you know what I mean. So right before we got married I stocked up on PooPourri. It's works wonders! If you haven't heard of it just watch this video. 

Hope that made your Monday a little better!

Home alone.

I'm home alone right. And boy does it suck. 

One. Cause I'm bored.

Two. Cause it's dark outside & I'm alone {CREEPY!}

Three. Cause this house is empty & it looks pretty darn sad.

& Four. Cause M isn't here. & I miss him :(

On a good note though!!! -- Furniture is coming Tuesday!

YAY!!!! 

Our home won't be so sad anymore. Maybe then I'll finally be able to post some pictures :)

But for now, here's a couple pictures of what things currently look like. Don't get too excited.

 Nice blurry picture of some boxes in a corner filled with crap.

Here's our living room with no furniture. Notice the kitchen chair? Yeah, we've been improvising.

Who new furniture took forever to ship?! Lalala. Whatever though. We have a home!

Anywho. I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. We sure enjoyed ours. I had zero assignments that I "had" to work on this weekend. So I tok it off & relaxed in our naked home. 

Now to start a new week. Bring it on Monday. I'm ready for ya!

Nighty night friends!
