Checking things off my list! #23 Skinny Dipping

I have just under 4 months to check off everything on my list of things I need to do before I’m 30. There are a few things that need to get done before the summer is over… Like #23 Skinny Dipping. The ocean is already getting cooler!!

We took the boat to the middle of the harbor and jumped in.

It was dark… but here is the proof that I did it!

Puppygirl finally has a name… Meet Ivy!!

Meet our sweet little Ivy.

We had a hard time thinking of the perfect name right away.  Everyone was brainstorming with us but nothing was sticking.  Ivy came to be when our friends Janet & Caroline came to visit at the store.  As they were leaving I said, “Be thinking of names!”.  They were gone only a few seconds when they popped their heads back in and said… What about Ivy??  My ivy covered store is what inspired the name.  I love the name and since she is Milly & Grace Girl… it just fit.

Here is our first family photo!

I am having a hard time finding the words to describe how much I love this puppy.   I love her so much.  She’s only been in our lives for 5 days and I’m surprised at how quickly I fell for her.  I basically melt anytime she does anything.  It’s pretty pathetic.  We are having so much fun getting to know her! She is a super calm dog (which is great!) but now that she is getting a little more comfortable with us we are starting to see a spunky side to her.

photo 2(Also present at our first family photos are the bags under my eyes.  I hardly slept the night before we went to pick her up and then she had separation anxiety the first 2 nights home.  However, I am happy to report that she is adjusting really well and hardly cries at night anymore! Thank goodness!!)

Get ready to laugh at this little video that Steve took!
