Soooo since I have been getting private lessons from Carissa Pututau on how to work my blog, I have learned some pretty nifty stuff on here---like choosing a background.. and the reason I chose this background is because of the red!!! hahahahaa GOOOO UTES!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA jk.. I'm not a fanatic of the Utah Utes BUT I am the biggest fan of this guy named MAX MOALA!!! hahaha And sooooooooooo the REASON I chose Utah colors is because this is my husband's last year playing for the University of Utah Utes and I FULLY SUPPORT him!!! hahaha I also do like this background in general. hahahaha
BUT ANYWAYS.. I hope you guys like how technology savvy I'm starting to get!! This will start to get a little bit more interesting.. hahah just a little though.. haha

our little MONSTER
Sooooo while trying to figure out what to write about, all I could think of is our new puppy Ebony and how NAUGHTY he is!! So then a huge LIGHT BULB went off in my head and I thought, "DUH!! I'll write about Ebony!"
Ebony, Ebony, Ebony what a SMART slash SURPRISINGLY LOUD slash MISCHIEVOUS slash HYPER slash NAUGHTY slash BEST MATE FOR IRIE all wrapped up in one!! Ebony is all of this and MORE if you can fathom. He is honestly just what we and Irie needed. With my new job, I was gone for ALOT longer than when I was teaching. And Max's football schedule is always BUSY, but with him nearing the end of his undergrad life his classes are getting harder, more time consuming, which means LESS time at home to be with Irie or ME for that matter. So anyways with all that we were leaving Irie home alot more by herself and feeling SOOOOO GUILTY!!!
Well at least I was, Max thought it was no big deal, and I'm sitting here telling him, you try staying in a house by yourself for 9 hours without anything to entertain you day after day!!! hahahaha I mean its not like Irie can just turn on the tv, surf the Internet, or chat it up with someone on the phone to keep her busy, she NEEDS interaction, like any other dog. Sooo yaaa we were on the hunt looking for another DOG not puppy BUT full grown DOG because if anything we did not have time for the puppy stage that consisted of potty training.
Soooo one day I was at work and my sister Gaynor calls me and a co worker picks up because I was in the bathroom. I come back to my desk and Teresa (co worker) said, "You're sister called and said it was an emergency! Take all the time you need for it." I was like WHAT THE HECK!! Called Gaynor thinking, "O my gosh who died or is REALLY hurt in our fam?" and what does she do when she picks up she says, "WHAT UP NIGGY??!!" From that comment I knew nothing was wrong hahaha Come to find out, she just was wondering if we would like to take her puppy that she got for Christmas and HONESTLY it was the BEST blessing in disguise because then Ebony stays in the family and we get a playmate for Irie.
Soooo in that, my family brought Ebony up to Utah with them when they came down for Saane's wedding in May. And since then Ebony has really learned the ropes in the house. He knows how to use the doggy door, get what he wants when he wants, sleep in his crate all night long, potty trained, and knows how to FIGHT with me. Me and Ebony have our differences. hahaha Lets just say he doesn't OBEY me on EVERYTHING like Irie does sooo we FIGHT.. hahahahaa
I'm one of those dog owners that expect obedience out of their dogs and realize that not EVERYONE loves dogs like I do, so i expect them to not jump on people when they come to our house and do things out of line and I expect them to listen to me when people come over and when i say NO or DOWN i MEAN IT!! But man Ebony!!! He does none of that!! He is gonna need ALOT of work and I'm gonna need to take him to obedience school.. He truly needs it. hahahha
BUT at the same time I love that dog!!! hahahaha He really makes me laugh and has the cutest little face and when he wants to cuddle and sit on your lap or have you carry him, he wants to be held like a baby (SUPER ridiculous, BUT super CUTE). Soooo all in all our little monster is 8 pounds of curly brown/black hair and WE LOVE HIM!! hahahah
Til next time

WEEKEND fun!!
Well folks the weekend was a success!!! Even though I wasn't able to go to Jake Murphy's wedding last weekend (cause i snoozed the whole night all the way to the morning) and experience my first palangi wedding, this weekend I was able to!! Thank goodness for Max and all his friends getting married. hahaha
SO yes, I experienced my FIRST palangi wedding, from what I can recall. And it was SUPER RITZY!!! It was up at a venue called La Caille, and man I swear I felt like I was in a movie or something. hahaha There were waiters everywhere with Hors D Oeuvrse and all this other stuff that I've never seen or tasted. Soo yaaaa it was really DIFFERENT!!! But from the conversation I had with Max, he said not most palangi weddings are like that, sooo I'm thinking, dang these palangis are ALL over the place!! hahaha jk... Love my Palangis!! Hello I'm a quarter palangi sooo its all good!!
Anyways it was fun, and I need to do better with this blogging stuff, wish me luck :)
