As I mentioned before, I've had some crazy couple of months and to be honest I have the rest of the year until my craziness ends. Along with the craziness of moving, we wanted to add to the insanity of figuring out how to live with each other, without our parents, and decided to rescue an adorable dog.

His name is Cliff and he's a Shiba Inu who is two and a half years old. Our friends were fostering him and when we first met him, I basically fell in love with him. He has a giant personality, acts like a cat, but is such a baby who's afraid of everything. Cliff had some big transition with space since he was getting use to a condo and now had a tri-level with a backyard to claim as his own, but he's getting the hang of protecting his turf.

Even though Cliff was familiar with us because we were at his fosters a lot, Cliff had to get accustom to seeing us as his owners now instead of just play friends who came around occasional. For my fiancé it was quicker because they bonded instantly. Once Cliff found out I was the holder of his food though, he got so much better with me.

He's a very strange little dog who contours to our furniture, does laps around the house, and fake pees just so he can play with us more when we come home. Prepare to see more of Cliff with future posts because I'm currently working on a project that I'm very excited about!

Appreciation

I've had so many things going on in the last few months. It's nice to see everything winding down. February was full of house hunting with my fiancé, March was filled with trying to close on our house, and April filled with settling in. I am so thankful to have found our house , but I'm even more thankful for my parents support and help through this whole life changing event. I feel like I took my parents for granted all this time of the world.

 

 

 So I need to take this moment to say appreciate the people in your life in the moment. We're always being told to live in the moment and I think we forget to extend that to the people in our lives. Mothers seem like an obvious choice at this time of year because we're so close to Mother's Day, but remind everyone you love what they mean to you whenever you get the chance! With all of that being said, I hope you all have a great weekend and Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there! You are all doing a beautiful job.
