This week my best childhood friend Whitney was in town from Kentucky. I haven't seen her in over a year, so we made a date out of it. All of us got together and went for dinner at California pizza kitchen. Seriously guys, I think I'm the only one who doesn't get pizza when we go there. They have this garlic cream fettuccine that is to die for. So delicious. Anyway, we laughed and talked, we ate. We shopped around the mall for a little while, then decided it was time for cheesecake. California Pizza skimped out on the bread when we asked for it, so we decided we needed the "chocolate bread" from Cheesecake factory. Basically we ate so much bread, the cheesecake was put on the back burner. Bummer. Whit also creeped on this blogger she loves "house of smiths." I apparently don't Pinterest enough to know who she is. I then attempted to shove whipped cream in her mouth, and speared her in the face. We were all peeing from laughter as blood dripped down Whitney's face.It was a really fun night, and I'm sad we don't all get together more. Why can't things stay the same way in life as they were in high school? Life was so much easier back then.

Today i'm doing a link-up with Miki at here about naughty dogs. She has two little englilsh bulldogs (well one is half english half french) that are always up to something naughty. She always has the funniest stories about them. Anyway, I happen to also have one very naughty dog. Our little Rex is 3/4 border collie and 1/4 pitt bull. He's one year old and the sweetest little thing, but for some reason has a hard time leaving the neighbor kids alone. We were outside playing one day, running, jumping, chasing balls, when a little neighbor kid comes skipping by. I see my little t-rex's ears perk up, and his eyes lock on this poor little neighbor kid. Now, Rex is usually a pretty good listener...except when he is chasing something. We only let him chase his ball, so this kid was a real treat. Rex starts running full speed towards this kid. He's not barking, growling, or in any way acting aggressive, he's just running. The kids takes one look at this huge dog coming after him and starts to run. Worst. idea. ever. Rex is now locked in the chase. I'm now screaming at the kid and chasing them both down the sidewalk "Don't run! Stop running and hold still!" The kid is looking at me with pure terror in his eyes, like I am a crazy woman for telling him to stop running from the dog. The kid gets to his house and books it inside without a glance back at either of us. I then stomp over to my 70lb dog and pick him up over my shoulder and march him home. I'm sure I looked like quite the sight.
           There's also the time he chewed holes in my brand new carpet.....twice. Or when he ripped open all the presents that I had just wrapped and placed under the christmas tree. Or when he ate a AAA battery whole while I was in the shower, and I chased him down butt naked with the hydrogen peroxide to make him throw it up. That was a fun vet visit "Ooooh you're the girl that called about your dog eating the battery? Yeah come right over here with me."
            We sure love our T-rex, but aren't our puppies such handfuls? I know I know just wait until we have a kid.

It's pretty rainy here in SLC, but that doesn't stop us from doing fun things inside. Like torture our dog with funny cat noises. Have a good rainy summer night.

P.s. Please ignore the overflowing laundry basket and pile of boxes in the hallway.....things have been crazy around these parts and laundry/recycling has taken a back seat.

Welcome to our new blog. The last one I had needed a make over, so this is our new home. I'm hoping that this lifestyle blog will be somewhere to document our adventures, mishaps, and everything in between. First off, meet us.
