Tuesday Tidbits

1. We put a down payment on a puppy!!! I really, really want to post a picture, but because we don't technically have "him" yet, I feel funny and want to respect the privacy of the breeders. But man, we are so excited! We went to see the new puppies on Sunday. They were only a week old! A beautiful litter of Golden Retrievers, and we were able to pick them up and hold them! Have you ever held a one week old puppy? It was magical. :o) We are able to pick him up on July 25th (when the puppies are 8 wks old) - which, is a whole other story. I'll be in Maine on July 25th! My mom, my girlfriends and I are taking a girls' trip together. I am so excited for the trip but am so bummed I will miss bringing home our little guy! I'm praying super hard that they move the "pick up time" to a week earlier, but I'm not holding my breath, especially considering I don't think they are even allowed to go home any earlier than 8 wks of age. We also don't know which male yet we'll be bringing home. We have to wait until they are a little older for us to go and pick which one we want. It's crazy to think that we are definitely getting one of them, and I may have even held him on Sunday, but for now we don't know which one will be ours! I can't wait to pick him out! Regardless, I'm so excited, and will be sure to post more about this later, including pictures!! And his name! Eeek! It's all so new, but I wanted to at least let you know that we made a decision and will definitely be bringing home our little guy at the end of next month. Hubsy looked at me the other night and said, "Our family is about to get bigger!" It was cute.

2. AWESOME weekend! I promised pictures, and guess what, I FORGOT TO CHARGE MY CAMERA! This is the only one I got before it died! I wanted to show how close we were to the field and got hubsy's head in it too. Trust me ladies, I was all set to snap away the whole weekend. I was so bummed! It's been so long since I've brought my camera that I completely forgot to see if I had any battery life left. We had seats in the FRONT row, behind center field. I think twice a baseball came directly towards my head. I squealed like a little girl A LOT during the games. Kind of scary, but a lot of fun. Braves won the first night and lost the second night. Pretty close seats, huh?

3. Let's hang out. I want to throw a summer party and invite all my blogging lovies. Wouldn't that be fun? Ohhhh, if only.

4. I loveee Bikram Yoga. In fact, I'm surprised I haven't posted about this before. We moved into our new house last August, about an hour away from where we used to live. There aren't ANY Bikram Yoga studios in our new area and it has been a really big struggle for me. It's like loving to play a sport and being told you're not allowed to play it anymore. I miss it! It really is the ONE workout that gets me motivated and going. A lot of bloggers have been talking about their journeys to becoming avid runners, or what they already do as avid runners. I have decided to stop sulking about not being able to do Bikram (ps. there are regular yoga studies everywhere here, but it really isn't the same as Hot Yoga, I don't feel like I get in as good of a stretch and workout) and have decided to start running, or at least attempt. I used to run all the time WAY back in the day when I was in track and field. I would love to enjoy running again. I'm a little nervous to start it back up, since it has been so long, but I am determined to find something else that I love just as much as I did Bikram Yoga. I am going to the gym today and am making myself RUN (or lightly jog, or walk, let's be honest) my heart out. I really hope to start enjoying running again. I'll let you know how it goes! I know to ease myself back in. I just want to skip ahead a few months and be done with the beginners stage!

5. Happy Tuesday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are having a great start to your week.

Blessings!

XOXO,
