Life Lately

Last weekend we sold the last few puppies of our 11 puppy litter. It was sad to see them go but such a relief to not have to clean up piles of poop several times a day! We bred our dog Bailey with Austin's parents dog Doc this past Fall and had 11 puppies born in our home December 3rd. With some of the puppy profits we did some small renovations...

I have wanted a built in bench here for a while now and LOVE the way it turned out!




It always bothered me that I couldn't see over our bar top into the living room to see Jace. It was higher than your average barstool height and we lowered it about 6 inches. it opens up the space so much and I am so happy we did it!



This is the first year the Falcons have made it to the Super Bowl in almost 20 years and Austin has been SO nervous all week. Everyone is coming here to watch the game and cheer on our Falcons to victory! RISE UP!


I went and got pedicures with Marlee (center) and Amy (right) this week to celebrate the upcoming arrival of Marlee's little boy! We got pedicures together for Amy's baby Oliver and on my due date with Jace! It is the best tradition! Love these friends so much! Amy is pregnant with a little girl so there will finally be someone to buy bows for after the long streak of boys in our friend group!


I found this mug at Marshals the other day and couldn't help snapping a picture to send to Austin because this is the recipe for our happy marriage haha! This pretty much breaks down what I need from Austin...


This is Bonnie, our last puppy to go to her new home. She was so spunky and full of energy and we loved the people that took her. It has been so fun getting pictures this week of all the puppies loving on their new owners. I was not raised with any pets so this has all been a big learning curve for me. As messy as it was, it really was fun and I think we will do it again in a year or two. 


I also decided to unplug from Facebook for a little while this week. I have absolutely zero self control in that area so a friend of mine told me she had someone else go in and change her password so she couldn't log on. I thought that was brilliant and asked Austin to do it right away! There has been so much negativity on Facebook lately and I was getting consumed by it. At one point this week I was looking down at my phone reading all of the junk and looked up to Jace just smiling and laughing at me. I realized at that moment I was missing out on him and that sweet moment for a bunch of junk. So for now, I'm taking a break and it has been amazing. My head and heart are so clear and I have way more brain space. Life lately has been good and I am so looking forward to Spring. We are starting to plan Jace's 1st birthday party and a few summer trips and I cannot wait! Happy Sunday friends!
