Sweet Sweet Emma!

Can't believe it's been almost an entire month since blogging!!  So much has happened...so let's focus today's blog on Emma....after all....this blog is named after her right?


Sweet Sweet Emma!  This past week Emma has had Derek and I wrapped around her bandaged little paw.  We have done nothing put spoil our injured puppy!  I guess I should let you know what happened.... 


Emma loves water of any kind,  I'm pretty sure she has webbed feet and maybe some gills.  Any time we are near water it is all she can do to stay away.  So, as usual we were playing fetch in the pond by our house.  I was throwing her favorite stick and she was bringing it back to me.  All of a sudden I noticed she was bleeding.  Immediately, I was sick to my stomach...Emma on the other hand was just as happy as she could be.  She did a great job slicing her foot open while playing.  I flagged down Derek and he checked her out and here we go off to the Doggy ER.  They stitched her up and gave her a pretty sweet bandage and sent us on our merry way with a hefty price tag.  But of course it was all worth it.  All week Emma has had her every need catered to.  She has eaten way too much people food, slept on the bed, and even got a new toy.  I'd say Derek and I are whipped!


On the way to the ER


Sweet Bandage you got there!


Hope I get some free time this week...because I AM SUPER excited about my next weekly rundown!!  

Enjoy!

It's March Already....

I can't believe it's March already.  Seems like just yesterday I started this blog.  Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it.  Fun stuff in this week's rundown!  


1.  LOVE LOVE LOVE Clean Sheet Day!  I was lucky enough to have the day off and was able to do some things around the house, washing our sheets was one of the things I accomplished.  I don't know about you, but there is something about fresh washed sheets that just does a body good.  I can't wait to get in bed tonight and feel their deliciousness ;)  I wish I had time to make every day clean sheet day!  It's the little things that make life wonderful!


2.  Mellow Mushroom...ahhhh-mazing!  Many of you know, I went to college at the WONDERFUL ASU and it was there I discovered my love of Mellow Mushroom.  If you've never heard of it you are MISSING out.  It's a pizza place like you wouldn't believe.  Derek and I have just discovered a new one not too far from us.  NOT GOOD....we have already been twice.  If you are near one in the next few days, drop what you are doing and try some of their wonderful parmesan and garlic fresh pretzels and pizza!  Your mouth will thank you I promise.

3.  You need to try MyPublisher.com!  I had a friend tell me about this website and now I'm sharing!  If you love pictures like I do, you will love this website.  For Valentine's Day, I knew I wanted to do something special for Derek so I used this website to design him a photobook of our honeymoon.  It is great!  I was able to customize it just like I wanted and the quality was wonderful.  I was also shocked on how fast it got here.  It's easy to use and very reasonable.  Sign up for their emails and you will get some awesome deals! 


4.  LOVE TI!  Topsail Island, or as I like to refer to as TI, has to be my most favorite place in the world.  It's a small island just north of Wilmington, NC that isn't as commercialized as the other NC beaches.  I have been going there since before I can remember.  It's my small piece of heaven.  I love taking the boat out with the family and parking at a sandbar to enjoy the day with my hat, shades, beach chair, and my kindle.  Warm weather is almost here and I can already smell the Topsail air!!  Hopefully, we can get down there in the next few weeks.
Emma loves the TI too!

5.  I'm going to be an AUNT soon and I love him already!!  Towards the end of June, Derek and I will become Aunt and Uncle again.  My sister-in-law has been sending me weekly belly pictures!  We are super excited.   I've started helping plan the baby shower only to find TONS of cute baby stuff.  I'm in charge of invites and some decorations for a barnyard theme.  This is going to be fun!
