Two Miles with Jackson

Well, this picture pretty much says it all! 

Poor thing is all tuckered out. Jackson did his first "big boy" run with me tonight. That means no stopping (except to poop right in front of the police station. Nice one, Jax. That wasn't embarrassing at all!)  I wasn't sure how long he would be able to go, so I had David on standby to come pick him up if he was just horrible at it. He did so good! I didn't realize how fun it was to have a full time running buddy, but it was so fun. He needed lots of encouraging, but he made it the WHOLE TWO MILES! I was so proud of my little running bud. Here are a few more pics of a sweaty "mommy" and a very tired Jackson! :)

And one more, just because he is so handsome! :) If it is this bad with my puppy, imagine what it will be like when I have children!

Introducing Jackson

It's been a while since I've blogged, but I have been a very busy gal! This is our new little buddy, Jackson. Isn't he just the cutest thing? He is a black lab and is currently 12 weeks old! Jackson has kept me on the move, especially this morning at 5:20 when he thought it was time to get up...UGH. But then I just look at that little sweet face and I am thankful that I got to school early to get some work done instead of being mad me woke me up an hour early!

 His favorite toy is a Coke bottle.

 My handsome boy.

Meeting mommy for the first time! :)



HAPPY NEW YEAR! Just a brief little update on our new year...

I spent the last day of 2011 with the wind in my face! :) If you know me, then you know that the back of the motorcycle is one of my favorite places to be. Deddy and I rode all day and had a BLAST! :) Here is Deddy at Campbell's Covered Bridge. We have both ridden by there many times, but never stopped, so this time we stopped! :)

We rode all over TR, Paris Mountain, and on some beautiful back roads. Then I came home and got ready to go to some friends house for dinner. I have no pictures of that! :(

On the first day of 2012, David and I went to The Railhouse and met up with Mama and Deddy and some Harley riding buddies for lunch. The Polar Bear ride has become quite a tradition for us. (I didn't get to ride it this year, but I met them at the finish point!)

I've been HOOKED on reading The Hunger Games. I read ALL AFTERNOON. I mean had to MAKE myself put the book down to go eat a traditional New Years dinner with Mama and Deddy, Becca, Mema and David.  All in all, it was a wonderful way to ring in 2012...

Oh! And one more little update..Look at this precious little guy! This is Jackson, or Jax for short. (Thank you SOA for our nickname!) He comes home in two weeks! I CAN'T STAND IT! He is a black lab. He is going to bring lots of energy to this house!

Happy 2012! :)
