Update, Family Visit, and Puppies

The last couple of months have kept us busy with trying to unpack in-between our busy work schedules.  We’re almost there!  Just a few boxes left in the basement.  We’re really loving our new home.  It’s funny because our décor actually fits into our new house better than it fit our old house!  It was meant to be, lol.  It was also really fun buying new furniture for our house because we’ve never bought furniture together.  Aaron had a lot of nice furniture when we got married so we just used his bachelor pad stuff up until now.  We got a nice dining set, a couch for the family room, and a guest bedroom set!  I love having a guest bedroom!  It’s great to have a place for people when they visit.

The guest bedroom was recently broken in by Aaron’s family when they came to visit in August!  His sister needed to get out to BYUI, so his family made it into a fun road trip, and stopped to see us for a couple of days!  It was a wonderful visit, I loved having everyone here!  We went hiking in the Rocky Mountains (took some great pictures there!), walked around Pearl Street in Boulder, and spent time playing games and talking.  I posted a lot of pictures of their visit on Facebook if you’re curious.  It was a great time. 

We also got to dog-sit for Aaron’s parents’ puppies while they finished their road trip for a couple of weeks.  They have two super adorable Maltese puppies, Winnie and Dottie, and they were SO much fun!  Granted, they were also yippy and not really potty-trained… but I think that’s why puppies come so cute, so you can look past all of that when you see their little faces!  We had tons of fun with them and Sugar and Sampson enjoyed having a larger pack for a while too.  Winnie and Sugar both have very dominant personalities and wanted nothing to do with each other, but Sugar and Dottie loved to play together!  And Winnie couldn’t get enough of Sampson.  Also, Winnie was Aaron’s favorite and Dottie was mine, so we had two teams in our house!  Aaron, Winnie and Sampson vs Janae, Dottie and Sugar!  :)  We had lots of fun with it and it was sad to see them go when Aaron’s mom and Tanner came back through to pick them up last week.
