We are getting a new puppy! His mother is a black lab, and his daddy is a Great Pyrenees. We will be picking him up February 29. Sam and I are both thrilled, but despite the enthusiasm, there is a bit of tension…

The great name debate is on.

I would like to name him Aneto, after the highest peak in the Pyrenees Mountains (where the Great Pyrenees breed comes from, go figure) or Shadrach, a Babylonian name meaning “Command of Aku” (the Babylonian moon god).

He threw out suggestions like Viggo, Gunther, Brahman, and (the ever so creative) Max.

GUNTHER?

Well, the topic is still open to debate, so we will see. In the meantime, check out this super cute picture of the little guy.

Well, here goes nothing.

I have finally started a personal blog.  It is interesting to me, at least, that I have waited this long.  I am in charge of running a blog as well as other social marketing thingys at my work.  But then again, after working all day at Micky D’s, you don’t want a Big Mac for dinner.  So we’ll see.

A little about me then… I am 24, and I was recently married on June 30th, 2007.  My husband’s name is Sam (he’s the best).  We bought a house in October, 2007.  A brick bungalow built in 1951.  It had one owner, who was a bachelor, and though he kept the house in wonderful condition, nothing has been updated.  See that pink and sea-green bathroom in my header? Yep. All mine.

I am just finishing my BA in marketing, and I (thankfully) have a job in marketing which I love.  I work with some really creative people, which is always nice.

I also LOVE to read and play video games.  It takes up a very large amount of my time.  Which is time I am sure could be used more constructively, but never is.

My intention is to post about the some of the things I enjoy the most,  being a (new) wife, being a homemaker (though I do have a job, and I am a full time student, I still do a lot of “homemaking”), and being a new homeowner.  So a never ending list of posts on home improvement projects, crafting, cooking, and living will follow.

So if you are reading this, either

1. Your randomly came across this blog in it’s infancy
2. In the future I am writing something worth reading(at least well enough to have some readers), and you went back to see what I wrote about first.
3. You are my mom. (hi mom!)

Either way, welcome.  Leave me a comment.  I want to connect with people who have a passion for the same things I do.
