Picking up our toy fox terriers on Saturday made for quite a weekend! Eric and I were both awake at 6 AM on Saturday so we started on our road trip a few hours ahead of schedule. Before we left, we vacuumed and made sure our place was as puppy-ready as it could be. Normally [...]

On April 16, 2010, I was G-chatting with Leah. The topic? Friends who are really talkative. “OMG, like my friend Eric!” she said. She went on to tell me how he would get super wordy when they were chatting. What, like I get wordy or something? She sent me a couple pictures of him from [...]
