Time seems to be moving faster than I realized... until I realized it. Now, I feel like the days are crawling. Actually, I'm pretty sure that the last two weeks of the month go by slower than the first two weeks. It's very annoying. I'm trying to just look forward to July. Lots of fun things happen in July... and by lots I mean like one or two. Mainly, Elizabeth will be here! HURRAY! But we'll also be doing some preemptive packing to get up out of herr. The idea of packing makes me o' so very happy. I've always enjoyed packing. I'm not sure why. Whenever we went on vacations, packing was never an issue for me... not that I pack things well, but I enjoy the process of getting ready to leave. I guess it was the anticipation of the vacation.
I'm currently counting down until I get Matt's care packages! They should be here any day. I'm excited to have a camera and a swim suit! Yay for husbands being awesome!
Matt and I have kind of narrowed down our puppy search to two breeds. Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie) or an Australian Shepherd (Aussie). We decided against anything tea-cup or toy breeds because of health problems and yappy-tiny-dog problems because we've heard these issues are pretty prevalent in smaller breeds... even though they are so stinkin' cute. Both the Sheltie and the Aussie are herding dogs, but they are easy to train, highly intelligent, and love being with people constantly. They both require a lot of exercise so they don't get destructive, but I'm okay with that. Really Matt and I want a dog that can be a great companion to the both of us. I know it is going to be a while before Matt and I are financially able to have kids, so a little puppy to chase after and train will be a good :) We decided we would wait until after the wedding and the honeymoon before we officially adopted our little pooch and I'm SO excited!
This is a red merle Australian Shepherd. I LOVE the merles. They come in Blue and Red and I think both of them are simply gorgeous.
This is a blue merle Sheltie. Shelties end up looking like miniature collies when they're full grown, which is perfect :)
Yay puppies!

I love your puppy choices!!!!!!! I remember being in a pet store and falling in love with an Aussie :) The Shelties are beautiful, as well. I think a dog the size of Samson is perfect. Not too big, not too small. And I agree with your decision NOT to get a yipey dog. That gets old...fast! Hang in there, Catie. I know time has a way of standing still but think of the months you've already put in. You're definitely in the home stretch! Enjoy your goodies! And you never know but there might just be a care package coming from us, as well. ;) Love you Catie. Be safe!!
