The first of many overdue blog posts

My poor neglected blog... This spring/start of summer has been incredibly busy and I haven't felt a ton of motivation to blog, but each time I look at my blog lately I start to compose posts in my head, so I'm taking that as a sign that its time to get back into the swing of blogging. And here I am! I don't want to spend a ton of time catching up on the past four months, but there are a few things of note that are worth a few sentences and a picture or two.

We made a big change and moved into a new apartment at the end of April. It was sad to leave our old apartment - a lot of important things happened to us there. It was where Bob proposed to me and where we came home to after our honeymoon and started our married life together. We fell in love in that apartment and we definitely felt sentimental as we were leaving. But it was time to move on and we're excited to continue our life together in our new place. It is a beautiful apartment and we are so happy here! We have tons of space, including a three season (probably actually four season, but winter might be chilly) porch, an enormous kitchen, and a full basement where Bob has set up his studio. Its truly the perfect space for us and we love it! There is also a huge yard, which leads to our most exciting news...

WE'RE GETTING A PUPPY!!!! Our big motivation for moving, besides the fact that we wanted more space and to not be on the second floor, was to find a place where we could have a dog. The minute we got our new place, we set out to find a puppy. We found a breeder in Raymond who had a male black lab puppy who would be available June 16, which fit perfectly into our summer schedule. We really wanted to get a puppy right at the beginning of the summer so we could be home with him and train him throughout the summer, so the timing for this puppy was perfect! We got to visit the litter a few weeks ago and found out that this little guy was going to be our puppy. Meet Tucker Currier Duncan Jaques!

Stayed tuned for lots more pictures of Tucker and stories of our adventures with the newest member of our family!
