Summer time

I never thought this day would come. I, Leanne Katherine Smith Brown graduated from college. (Sort of). Pending my passing a Genetics summer school class I am an official ASU alum.

Right after graduation we headed out to DC for Miluska's graduation. Well, for that and to see

cute babies and play Boggle. Besides a few stitches in the Smasher's nose, the trip was a total success. We got to see all the monuments, the Library of Congress, and plethora of museums. There may have also been some dancing to Miley Cyrus for music video purposes.

Since then we took another trip. This time to my Aunt Karrie's cabin in Greer. The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed some relaxing puzzle times and even went on a hike. For Fender's first vacation it went verrrry well. He loved being in the forest and hiked like a champion. Hopefully someday we can give him at least a yard to play in.

I take it back

What I said about not getting a dog for a while? Scratch that. Fender Brown is the newest (and first) edition to this family of ours. He's been tons of fun and even more hard work. I seriously considered buying him some diapers today. He seems to be learning pretty fast though, and attracts dog-lovers from miles around. Seriously, you can't take him anywhere without someone squealing about the cute puppy. Even Mitchell loves this dog...and that's saying something.

Home alone

For my first official blog post on my first official blog, I would like to start out with a complaint... about my husband (of 4 months and 4 days). It goes something like this: I can't get enough of him. Which makes nights like this, when it's past midnight and he's been at the studio doing what he loves all night and I'm at home alone avoiding homework and failing at 1000 piece puzzles-pretty sad. On the plus side, if this keeps up it has been agreed upon that I can have a puppy to keep me company despite Mitchell's hatred for all things furry (and smelly). I've decided not to hold my breath though since we live in a second floor apartment and are both gone all day. Dogs need yards, and people with time to feed and bathe them. Someday...someday.
