This weekend and other ramblings

This weekend my cousin is getting married. I was really close to her when we were little, but now, not so much. She's been living with a guy for a few years now and his little girl might not be allowed to come to the wedding (long story). She's already been fitted as the flower girl and has already been given a job to do in the ceremony, so if she can't come Adelyn has been asked to be a substitute for her. (they're the same size) Wow, so we'll see how that goes this Saturday.

We brought our dog home a couple of weeks ago and were lucky enough to be able to change his name to one of our own picking. (he hadn't learned it yet) We've named him Koda (like the little bear on Brother Bear) and are starting to kennel/potty train him. It's a long process that usually takes 6 or so weeks. I wish it would be done in 6 or so days, I'm tired of the messes in his kennel and the poop in the yard, not where we want it. Anyway, overall he's a sweetheart and is quickly learning commands and his name... I just wish he'd learn even faster.

I'd like to congratulate my friend Michelle and her new baby boy, Nathan, and say I'm sorry you had to have surgery and so many other problems to get him here. I thought I'd have a hard time having kids and you'd have it easy... I was wrong and the situation seems to be somewhat reversed. So, I just have to say, good job "enduring to the end" (of one aspect of life, at least) and you'll love being a mom.

Ta ta for now.

I didn't know you could kennel/potty train dogs. That's pretty neat! Good luck with that, I'm sure it will make your job nicer.
When it comes to people you grow up with, isn't it interesting how we all turn out? I'm sure Adelyn will be a cute little flower girl though, if she becomes one.

How fun & busy to have a doggy now! I can't believe you are taking care of a toddler, newborn, & dog! Sounds exhausting!

And thanks for the comments about my baby...being a mommy really is amazing! When I am in Utah next, we should all get together w/ our babies!!

How did the wedding go on Sat? Hopefully well. Good luck with the dog. I think having a dog would be so much fun, but so much work too. I bet Adelyn loves the puppy.

I am so disappointed that no one knew that quote was from the Italian Job. That's one of my favorite movies.
