Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving with their families, we sure did! It was soo nice to see both of our families, especially since we hadn't seen them since our wedding three months ago.

I thought I would catch up on the photo challenge as well, so here goes! :)

Ok I didn't take this one, but it's from our wedding day and it's a great picture of my husband :)

Name Change

Well I am happy to announce that almost 3 months after we got married I finally changed my last name to Martin! The reason it took so long in case anyone was wondering was we took a late honeymoon in October and since we've been back i've been in the middle of an interview process with a couple companies. I'm still in the running for at least one of the positions but got tired of waiting and changed my name anyway, hehe.

My dog Jett and I went on a walk earlier today, and the day that i've been dreading since we adopted him has finally come: he's just as strong as me now :(. He can pull me along and it takes me using most of my body weight to stop him, luckily he's usually really good on the leash. He's only 6 months old but I still can't believe how quickly labs grow up, I wish he could have stayed the size of a puppy a little longer, oh well :). At least I have a picture of him from the day we brought him home.

Yesterday was a busy day so I wasn't able to post, so here's day 2 and 3 for the photo challenge. Today was supposed to be a picture of clouds, but there isn't a single cloud in the sky today. :)

30 Day Photo Challenge!

I've been seeing the 30 Day Photo Challenge floating around on Pinterest for a little while, so I decided to try it.

Our honeymoon in Cabo was amazing! The weather and scenery were soo beautiful! On our third day we went snorkeling and got to see the famous arch, we also saw a sting ray and a marlin jump out of the ocean, which was so cool! Another day we were lounging by the pool at the resort and saw dolphins swimming around and having fun out in the ocean! Most of the time we just relaxed by the pool or went into Cabo San Lucas to eat out at nice restaurants. I wasn't ready to go home, but we did miss our puppy a lot and are glad to be back home with him:).

It may be a little early to start decorating for Christmas, but it's my favorite season to decorate for! While browsing on pinterest one day I found a project idea that I HAD to try. I took one of our left over wedding invites, cut it up into strips, wrapped it around a pen and put them inside a clear Christmas ornament. I found a little "M" charm at Michaels that I put on a ribbon and tied it on. I love how it turned out!

I also thought i'd leave you with an update on our adorable puppy, he's six months old now and no longer looks like a puppy, he's weighing in around 50lbs now. I regret not taking more pictures of him when he was little, but I plan on taking more of him now, because you can never have too many pictures of your dog, right? :)

A girl's best friend :)
