Sebastian Turns Two!

So...I admit it. We've become one of those couples that makes the dog the "child"...but I don't care. I love this stinkin' dog (and he IS quite stinky right now) and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

(Extra space here for Ryan)

Friday was Sebastian's birthday. The big two. I'm so proud. I think the only reason he's actually lived for two years is 'cause he's just so cute and sweet. The constant "hunt" for socks, bras, and underwear...the one-sided game of chase with said undergarments in the backyard...well, it's a good thing he's so cute 'cause there probably wouldn't be much left of him when I did catch him...not that I ever do. Dang he's fast!

So we took him to Sonic (after enjoying sushi with the P's (Peadens and Penningtons)) for his birthday ice cream. It was even better than last year. People were staring at us like we were crazy...not for giving the dog ice cream, but for taking pictures of it. Like I said, I'm not ashamed. Ryan might be a little bit, though. :-)

So here are a few pictures. I caught lots of great moments, but...don't want to bore everyone with pictures of my sweet puppy.

Anxiously awaiting...notice the money in Ryan's hand...they were BOTH ready for some ice cream.

My men and their desserts...



Notice it's all up in his nose and beard...

Please sir...may I have some more?

My Own Life-Hacker List

Ryan is forever following Lifehacker.com. He doesn’t always find something life changing, but every now and then they post about something that he decides to try out. Sometimes it’s a win; sometimes it’s a regretful Amazon purchase. Months ago he bought me a daylight alarm clock (https://www.amazon.com/Philips-Wake-up-Simulation-HF3500-60/dp/B00F0W1RIW/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1509503507&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=daylight+alarm+clock+phillips). This thing arrived in the mail and I was like, “You bought me an alarm clock? Gee. Thanks.” At least it wasn't a set of cookware. After a week of using it, I realized it was a game changer. I was waking up more gradually and (dare I admit it) in a much better mood. Life hack, indeed. Thank goodness for this wonderful website and my husband that is always looking for improvement. Which brings me to today’s topic. Sometimes we just need to share things that are getting us through. I’ve been listening to a podcast lately of

I'm Tired

Can I please share my heart? (Be prepared for a lot of whining.) I’m tired. I’m emotionally tired, spiritually tired, financially tired, and physically tired. I’m just tired. Ryan and I are facing the upcoming furlough. We’ll have a significant pay cut to deal with for approximately six months. Thankfully, we have been blessed enough to be able to save up for such an event (that and I know how to choke a dollar) so we’ll be okay, but we have numerous coworkers and friends, good friends , that are really going to be feeling this 20% reduction. I’m worried for them. I’m waking up in the middle of the night praying that they’ll be okay. Ryan and I have been discussing ways to save money, cut bills, as well as gather some projects to work on while we have an extra day off.  I've  come to terms with the pay reduction and not having any ‘frills’ for the next six months.  I've  researched free and inexpensive activities, and  I've  even started looking forward to having

  This is the first blog post I’ve written in SO LONG so it feels a bit foreign and weird. I have tossed around various ideas for the past couple of months about blogging again, but I couldn’t get motivated or decisive or something .   So, I just turned thirty-five. I've made some serious changes in the past year and for whatever reason, I want to share what I have and am learning. I constantly feel like I'm failing, but I know it can't be that bad (RIGHT?). Back in the Spring, our church’s children's ministry took the kids to a weekend camp. A friend told me that at least once a week she tells someone, “Do you follow Kelley Close on Facebook? You should. She’s funny, she’s honest, and she puts a lot of things into perspective.” I wanted to cry. This was probably the most humbling thing anyone has said to me in a very long time. So, I’m going to start blogging again. I don’t have a niche; there’s no special focus. I certainly know I’m not going to become fam
