Well… I’m assuming nobody is reading this to find out what’s going on in my life, because lets be honest, I’m just not that exciting. But I’m going to write anyway, mostly for my own benefit. I like to believe that someday I’ll be important enough for loads of strangers to want to find out more about me, and this will be a fabulous way for everyone to read all the mundane details of my life before fame.

So what have I been doing.

Mostly I’ve just been back working at the bakery, which is pretty fun, though not too challenging. Lets just say I’ve been catching up on my reading.

Chloe

I got a puppy That’s actually pretty exciting. Her name is Chloe. I got her mid January when she was 11 weeks. So I guess that makes her almost 4 months now. She’s unbelievably smart. We had her housetrained after about a week and a half. If I command her to sit and stay, she wont budge while I leave the room and walk around the house. She heels, rolls over, shakes, speaks, and knows to stay on her bed while we’re eating dinner. I couldn’t ask for a more loyal companion. She’s not allowed upstairs, but if I’m in the bathroom, which is right at the top of the stairs, doing my hair or something by the door, she will sit at the bottom step staring at me, just waiting for me to come down.

In other news, Jill is currently looking at houses in TN by school for us to live in next year. She found a pretty great one that I’m hoping we decide on. The best part is that it has a fenced in backyard, and pets are allowed. So Chloe will get to come, in case that point wasn’t clear.

This week is Katie, Ashley, and Ryans school vacation so I’ve been spending a lot of time with them. This past weekend

us and "molly"

Katie had a cheerleading competition which was so cute. Here’s a picture from the competition after Katie’s team won the middle school division. Molly was upset that we went and had fun without her, so she sent me the “real” picture

I’ve got a video of their routine, though it isn’t a great recording, because the camera-person kept forgetting that she was filming This weekend she’s got another one so I’ll take better video. Ashley has a soccer tournament tomorrow in NH that I’ll be going to, so hopefully I’ll get some good footage from there too.

So that’s my exciting life. Fun, I know. I’m still trying to figure out what I’m going to be doing this summer.  I have a few options. A friend of mine has a horse that will be coming here in April and I may get the chance to do some eventing with him. He’s really fun, I rode him a bunch this past fall and really loved it. Also, Torrance should be coming back sometime in May so I might end up going over there to work some as well. In addition, a friend of mine told me last night that there is a guy in Ohio who’s looking for a summer intern to work with his Clydesdale team. I would LOVE to do something like that. The pay’s pretty good and it sounds like a blast, but I would miss out on a whole lot of stuff all summer. So I guess I’ll just have to think about it.

Anyway, as enthralling as that is, I’m done for now. Here’s the video from Katie’s competition
