I haven't updated in a while. I suck. We have been so busy running here and there and being social, it's a bit crazy. The puppy is now officially six months old, so cute, and so precocious. He gets neutered in 3 weeks (yes, I hear you males cringing, and I also hear the females whooping) and hopefully said neutering will calm down his aggression while playing a bit. He thinks he is a very tough dog, but only when he is holding onto either of his rope toys. They must be like when Superman puts on the cape or something, he transforms not into a superhero but a Super Tough Dog! Someone should let him know he's a golden retriever, and a pussy (which he is when he's not holding onto said rope).

I am on this crazy "pay off this debt" kick right now. I hate debt. I hate credit cards. I hate how easy the banks / credit card company / my brain make it to spend money that you don't have. I refuse to do it any longer! I want to be debt free (well, except for the mortgage. any decent house here costs an arm and a leg, and it will take you at least 25 years to buy them back) and I want to live within my means. Wish me luck.

Next week we leave for an 8 day long camping trip, to celebrate our two year anniversary. Should be nice and relaxing, lots of sleeping in, fishing, reading, and just relaxing by the lake. Much needed, let me tell you!
