Milwaukee

Tristan and I went to Milwaukee on Sunday afternoon to go spend some time with our puppy and my family and to see our friends Dre and Joel before they move. First, we walked Honey and Molly around at the park with my mom. Honey was so sleepy that she took a nap under a bench for a while. Then we grabbed lunch in Cedarburg before heading back to my dad's with Honey. Once we got there, we met the new neighbors and their three huskies. One of them was just a puppy and he was so cute! Max It was so adorable watching him try to play with Honey. Buddies! I almost had tears in my eyes when it was time to say goodbye to Honey again. She was yelping as we got in the car without her. She'll be staying with us for a week soon, though, and then she'll be all ours in about 3 months. Next, we headed to Dre and Joel's in Milwaukee and were greeted with big hugs. Life has been so busy and we haven't been able to hang out nearly as much as we...

Hello Again

It's been a while since I've posted. Since I'm on spring break, I figured I should write a post before I'm consumed by school again. So, since my last post, I have adopted Honey myself. She didn't have any prospective homes and the people who wanted her just couldn't figure out a way to make it work. While it hasn't been easy for me either, I think she'll ultimately be very happy with me as her momma. She'll be staying with my dad for a few months until I'm more on my feet and have a better schedule. I'm currently gone 12 hours a day and haven't had much luck getting a job that can work around that, so having her live with me just isn't in the cards at the moment. I just hope she can adjust to all the commotion at my dad's. She hasn't been having the easiest time the past few days here. As far as school goes, I have 1 more 2 month term (which is about 5 weeks of classes, 2 random weeks off, and 1 week on a...

Winter Break

Image
Today is my last day of a two week long break from school. It was much needed for all of us and I feel quite rejuvenated. The Friday before our break started was pretty pointless. We had no final exams and we were originally supposed to have this day off according to our schedules. But we need those "contact hours." So, we spent the day goofing off, wandering Tinley Park, and playing games. The next day, a bunch of us went to Toni's house for an ugly Christmas sweater party. I think this video explains the night pretty well. We also went to Tristan's work's holiday party, which was 20's murder mystery themed. Everyone's costumes looked so great. Here are a couple shots of Ninna and me as we were leaving. A great deal of my break involved driving for Christmas. We drove to Milwaukee for my mom's immediate family a week before Christmas. On Christmas Eve, we drove to my great uncle's in Lake Forest, and then drove...
