Babies!

Okay, so maybe not HUMAN babies, but they are MY babies none the less! I've mentioned our Chihuahua baby, Edgar, but here's a picture of him shortly after we adopted him...

My little alien looking thing... lol I have much cuter pics of him all over my facebook, but I won'y subject you to all that cuteness overload... But here he is in a recent photo, all 5 lbs of him at a little over a year old:

See what I mean? CUTE.

I grew up with a chihuahua named Puchy, who lived to be about 15 years old. I have always wanted another, and my heart melted when we found Edgar at a flea market in South Carolina, all cold as it was January. Mr. Who, who wasn't too keen on the idea of having a "yappy dog" in "his" house (lmao), actually gave in and said if he was going to have to put up with a little runt in the house then he had better look tough at least (lest his manliness be called into question lol) so we chose the only black and tan pup out of the bunch... our Edgar baby <3

But now well over a year later Mr. Who is feeling lonely and was yearning for a big Boxer he could play and do manly stuff with (Edgar is not yappy thanks to great training, but he is my shadow). I had planned on getting him a Boxer pup in October for his birthday, but my aunts had a friend who just had puppies and thought it would be an awesome house-warming gift! So, with my help they surprised Mr. Who with this little guy!

Isn't he the most!? And while yes I mean he's the most cutest thing we've seen in a while (Edgar, mommy and daddy still love you), he's also the most manly, pee-n-poop-filled puppy I have ever dealt with! He loves Mr. Who, way much more than me, let me tell you! 

So this is what my home has been up to, being turned upside down by a little pup who won't be so little a terror in a few months! 

Weeping angels have nothing on this little ball of fire! 

It's Friday, Friday!

Here's my second Five For Friday, a linky party by Doodle Bug Teaching where you post five random things from today or this past week and on your blog...

#5 - Sicky Sam is not a happy Samantha... I caught the Cold on President's Day and spent the whole day off (and the following days) sick as a sochi dog! Came in to work for 2 hours on Tuesday before I couldn't take anymore and sent myself home! Today is the first day I feel most like myself, thank goodness!

#4 - My apartment is directly beside this beautiful view... I get to see the pool every day and long for it to be just hot enough for me to lay out in the sun and blog form the comfort of the lounge chair!

#3 - Home Sweet Home! We have a long way to go, still quite a few boxes to go through and furniture to buy (yay!), but it's our home and we are feeling so very blessed and happy!

#2 - My CDA workbook and competency Standards came in! My school is so amazing that the Director personally offered to have me reimbursed for half the costs and fees associated with the assessments, including books, etc.! How cool is that!? Also, and this was a big Sob-In-The-Bathroom-Stall-For-2-Minutes-In Happiness Moment, my Dean came by today and told me he recommended me highly to the Principal for a Leadership position for next school year! It really made we swell with pride (Lord forgive me) that all my hard work goes noticed by the Administration. Feeling happy in my career right now <3

#1 - This week (yeah right, this MONTH) has really shown me how far hard work can take you, and that through all the struggle it paid off in His blessings. I am so grateful for wonderful co-workers, administration, family, spouse, and it gives me hope for the coming year.

And that, ladies and gents, is my 5-4-Friday ;)

Yours Truly,
