And her name shall be....Amber!

So we closed on our home on on April 23rd, late to be sure but not that bad considering. Everything went well with our cross country trip and then also with the home closing. The title company went out of thier way to help us out with an after hours close...and we fianally recieved our keys and spent the first night in our home on Friday April the 25th. All went well....we made a trip to Ikea and loaded the Jeep up with all things necessary to make a house a home.

All in all we bought a new bed frame, dresser, night stand, PC desk a few shelves and some odd's and ends all for a total out the door cost of less than $1000! Ikea makes wallets happy.

So today May 3rd we made the next huge decision in our life....we bought a dog. She is so damn cute. She is a 6 week old female Weimaraner from a litter of 9 pup's. She is AKC registered and extremely well tempered. We picked her up this morning and spent the day making sure she is a happy and well cared for pup. We had a visit with the Vet at 12:30pm and then off to the Pet Smart for some new toys and a leash. All in all it was a busy day...and I think she is tuckered out.

Oh, we also arrived at a name for her. We have a cat already and her name is Jewel...so we thought we would stick to the precious/rare stones genre, and we arrived at the name Amber.
