Weekend Recap!

Hiya friends! Are you done with your Christmas shopping yet? I'm getting close, but not quite. Something tells me a lunch break this week will be spent at the mall because I have NO desire to go next weekend when it's an absolute madhouse. 

Well let's see... I'll start off with how the doggies are doing. What a difference a week makes! At first, I was so nervous b/c Gracie was warming so slowly. She wasn't growling or anything, but she just seemed "off." I think she still has moments of "why is this dog up in my grill?" but overall, they're really fantastic together! They've even started sleeping on the same bed most nights. It's pretty cute; not gonna lie. 

This looks like tug of war. But in reality, both dogs were just standing there refusing to let go or move. It was pretty funny. 

I'm sure the neighbors have been getting a kick out of watching me attempt to walk both dogs. Especially because Winston isn't used to a leash and decides to sit down and not move halfway through most walks. (Picture me carrying Winston and trying to walk Gracie simultaneously. It happened.)

Friday night, Eric and I headed out with some friends for dinner and wine. We were all very somber after the day's news. I have no words that can adequately describe my feelings about what happened. I don't even think my heart really understands that level of horribleness. My prayers are filled with wishes of peace for the families of those children and teachers. My mother is a teacher. She's armed with books, lesson plans, chalk and crayons. I will never understand...

Changing gears before I start crying or ranting about our society. My heart is heavy and my prayers are long...

Saturday, we hit up two Christmas parties. One was for our little group of girlfriends at Ashley's house and the other was for a community organization Eric's involved with. I didn't take any photos at party number two b/c I didn't know anyone so that might have been a tinge weird...:)

Sunday was full of cleaning, errands, and attempts to finish Christmas shopping. Close, but no cigar. I've also started to realize I have a slight problem buying Christmas ornaments. Our tree needed a few more, so I started buying them everywhere I went. I think I need an ornamentivention.
