First Post Attempt

Ok, so I'm totally new at this blogging thing but I just got all four wisdom teeth ripped out yesterday, so now's a great time to be a bum, try something new, and wonder "Who on earth is going to read this, anyway?"

(Danny and I with our beautifully carved pumpkins for Halloween. Danny had NEVER carved a pumpkin before!)

So, I'll begin with a recap for family and friends who, perhaps, I haven't talked to in a while. Danny and I are still living in Biloxi, Missisippi and are approaching our 2 year wedding anniversay on the 23rd of this month. I'm super excited about celebrating with a weekend trip to Birmingham, AL to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert and just hang out in my old stomping grounds (oh, yes, to return to the young grade school days of Waffle House, cows, and tornadoes. Yee-haw!) In truth, Birmingham's a really cool place...

(The Coast of Biloxi--about 2 miles from my apartment)

Also, we're celebrating our 1 month-ish anniversary of getting a new puppy, Melaine. We call her Laney, for short. And she's not actually a puppy, but a 2 1/2 year old mommy terrier who we adopted from the Humane Society. Unfortunately, we do not have the space in our apartment or perhaps we would have adopted one of her two puppies that was also in there. She's the cutest, sweetest, most lovable pup I've ever met (not that I'm biased or anything) and has just brought so much joy to our lives!

Now, that I've given you all the Reader's Digest version of my life (I could have mentioned work, but that's borrrring to write about, so I spared you), I'll just close with a Merry Christmas to everyone. We're looking for having a holiday just to ourselves this year, but I'm looking forward to seeing everyone soon. Especially my Phoenix people! Cousins, aunts, whomever...I'd love to see you (without having to sit around a brunch table across near a sick Emilie...sorry about that again cousins...I still feel terribly about it!)
