"All's well that ends better" It's SPRING

It's spring!
Well, it's been spring for over a month now but I can't complain.
Andy has been studying- a lot. Another quarter down and onto the next! I just have to say that I am so proud of him. He works so hard.
I am now an official occupational therapist as of this month {OTR/L} Yay!
Raja has been rabbit hunting in the yard and occasionally chewing random objects to pieces {tape dispenser, sticky notes}.

And we've been having some fun in-between...

The horses made a safe trip from Alabama to Arizona...

That's Loui on the right and Chief in the middle.

Loui has become known as "pig pen". Every time {without fail} he's in the pasture he dumps the water trough over and rolls in the mud. I think he misses Alabama mud. Poor guy. We miss it too.

Andy's parents {Mrs. Kelly and Mr. Billy} came to see us!

We went furniture shopping.

So sweet to have family with us.

We spent a day on Lake Pleasant. Andy needed the water after finals {and chips, always chips}.

Extremely cold water. But he couldn't resist.

...neither could Raja

Lastly, we took our bikes to Flagstaff ~~and realized how horribly out of shape we are~~ for the day.

She thinks it's funny when we can't keep up.

Don't worry, that's my lunch box- not his.

We wish you all a lovely spring break!
Thanks for reading.

Let The Summer Begin (almost)

We decided we needed to get out of the valley for a few days {with summer quickly approaching and tempts reaching the 90's}, so we packed up and went to Payson for the weekend. I highly recommend going to see the Natural Bridge, pictures do not do it justice. And I'm pretty dang impressed with Andy for hiking all day with this baby pack. It is seriously not as easy as it looks. I've got to start training... Raja clearly had the time of her life. {per usual} We are so excited that little man is big enough to ride in the baby pack! And I'm excited Andy is able to haul the baby pack. Raja is just excited about dirt and water {mud}. Happy Monday, everyone. Thanks for reading :)

Arizona Lessons in 3 Years

As of August, we have been official Arizonians for 3 years! Seems kind of crazy that it's been that long. We have all learned a lot about the west. So, in celebration of our 3 year Arizonniversary here are a few things Arizona has taught us... about survival. 1. Get up early. From about May-September if we want to run, hike, ride the horses, swim at the pool, really anything outdoors we are up the the flipping crack of dawn because any other time of the day is miserable. When it isn't the heat of the summer, the evenings are pretty decent. And when people say, "oh it's a dry heat out there though, so that's probably not so bad", I literally laugh out loud. Before we moved here people had told us the dry heat isn't so bad {you know who you are}. So we stupidly went out to the barn to clean stalls in 120 degrees. I thought the hot breeze was going to melt my eye balls. And then we were both sick with chills the rest of the day. Now, under 105 degrees,...

Ten Reasons To Be A Dog's Human

I have been Raja's human for almost two years now. She has taught me a lot in these two years of our pupship. Let me start with the day Raja came into our lives... Andy and I drove from Alabama to Pennsylvania to pick up our sweet little new best bud. I envisioned an adorable pup loving on me and sleeping all curled up in my lap for the whole 13 hour drive home... Well, I got the adorable pup part. She howled bloody murder most of the drive if she wasn't scratching my neck and arms or peeing on {and inside} my suit case. It was so fun. Reason #1. You become her everything. I took this small baby away from everything she knew and expected her to immediately love and trust me. It just doesn't happen that way. I had to earn her love and her trust. The good thing about a pup is it happens pretty quickly. After those first few weeks of the infamous, horrible crate training {back when 5am was her favorite time of the day, ...
