Just a little off the top

Today was a good day. I woke up early actually excited about giving Sweet Pea her first haircut. My awesome neighbor Bill let me borrow his lawn mower, and I gave her a buzz cut. The front yard is thick and lush, and the back......well, it's nothing special. Alot of clover and weeds. But at least they are short now. We're off to Floresville tomorrow for my uncle Anthony's 50th b-day party. I'll try and trim the bushes on Sunday.

new dog park...

the timing couldn't have been more perfect. there's a new dog park in town and it's super close to us. it's located at madison square park in downtown. the grand opening was just this past sunday but unfortunately we missed out on it. tokyo and  i went over to check it out this morning and i think it's going to be perfect. tokyo approves it too.

home sweet home...

and we are in! after much anticipation, it feels soooo good to be in our home.  we just came back from a stroll through dignowity park which is a block away from sweet pea.  we were just sitting there talking and enjoying the breeze and view...tony, tokyo, and i...and i wondered to myself when had been the last time we were at the park just taking it easy like we were.  it was kinda surreal cause then i realized how often we could start doing this.  we're only a block away.  the park overlooks the downtown skyline and it was a big "i'm glad i'm doing this and i'm glad it's with you" kinda moment.  my parents are in town so they got to visit sweet pea for the first time as well as help us with the rest of the moving. it's always great having them in town and i hope they move back soon for good.  so even though there are still tons of unpacking to do, we are finally home.

a perfect day for some oiling and painting...

what a gorgeous day it was today. tony and i woke up and went straight to painting and oiling.  i painted our country chairs a light blue and tony oiled our coffee table. the sky was clear, the sun was out, the radio was playing, and the breeze was doing what it does best. yesterday, we moved quite a bit to sweet pea with the help of tony's sis andrea who came down from austin to help out.  next weekend we move the rest and finally start staying at our new home...
