The new year has started off very nicely. Work has been going well for both Rick and I. We have been doing a little house hunting just to get an idea of what we like in a house since it takes us so long to pick things out that we both can agree on. We figure we will try to buy something late summer-early fall. By then we can have saved up a nice down payment. Although the way the economy is right now I don't know if we would be able to get a loan or not. Guess we will have to see when the time comes. Here are two that we both really like. I am more for the second one:
It is brand new and we could finish the basement at our own leisure. It is just a great starter home.
The first home is very nice and roomy, but it would need so much work as everything inside for the most part was last updated in the 70's, and we would probably have to get a second loan to do everything we would want to do to make it to our taste in floors, paint and such. There is only one good picture of the first home and that is of the outside. This house is in a community that was built in the 70's. It used to be the country club area.
This is the second house. It is in a little town right outside of Butte called Rocker. The views from this little community are breathtaking. You are surrounded by mountains. The house since on 1 -2 acres of land. Not quite sure how much.
Not too much else is going on right now. The puppies are getting so big. Lola is bigger then Jessie now. Charlie is just a little bit smaller then Jessie. This is how we are marking their growth for the time being. Charlie is so vocal. He hurt his paw Sunday evening and was limping around the house. When I came home from work on Monday I was petting Lola (now mind you, he had received love before Lola) when Charlie had to remind me that he had hurt himself the day before and needed more love and attention now. While I was petting Lola he tilted his head down and looked up with sad eyes. Then he lifted his hurt paw and made a very sad throaty noise to let me know it was still hurt. The vet says he probably just has a very bad bruise. He loves to play and play and play. Balls, frisbees, stuffed animals, kongs, he loves them all. He is not too sure about car rides, so we try to take him to different places at least once a week. He is getting better and doesn't whine as much. He is the love of our lives and brings us so much joy.
The weather has been warmer the past couple of weeks. Not warm enough that you want to play outside. I am missing the snow. I could use a couple more feet. Not sure we are going to get it though. It seems like the storms just miss us.
Rick and I are planning on going away for our birthdays. They are a week apart so we thought we would do a nice little trip for the two of us. We can't wait until it gets warmer and we can take Charlie camping with us.
Nothing else new to speak of. We hope that everyone had a lovely holidays season and that the new year is going well for everyone. We miss you all.

Hey Erika! Fun times looking for a house. Justin and I looked for months to find one we liked because we are too picky too. :-) It's hard not to be picky on such a big investment, you know? Why settle?
Your puppies are absolutely adorable! Thanks for the photos. It makes me want to play with them. They look so fuzzy!
I hope the job is going well. All is the same here in Chattanooga! Justin's working hard in Nashville and comes home on the weekends, but that will be over soon and he'll be back working in Chattanooga on yet another client.
I can't believe you're surviving the winter--brrrrr! We've had a really cold snap here lately, but Thursday is supposed to get to 60 degrees, so I can wait it out.
Hugs and Kisses to you!!!
