This and That

I am so excited I finally figured out how to create a banner on my blog! I came across this tutorial last night and it has helped a ton. I am hooked on Subway Art and even found a tutorial on that. In the meantime, check out this great FREE Subway Art for a Laundry room! As you can see from my previous posts, I have been in to getting things on our walls. I love things that explain what I feel and those usually involve words about my family and photos of my family. I am in love with Etsy. If you have not checked it out. You have to! I could spend hours and I have my shopping cart filled with things I'd love to have! It even has given me great ideas on things I can do on my own! Honestly, love that I have a bit more time to work on my creative side. What better to do at 3 a.m. when I am awake anyway with little Mr.?

AJ graduated today and is on his way home. I have to say I am so excited. We will get a couple of days together before he heads back to the streets of Ptown. Although, it seems me have had an increase in violence in the areas he patrols. Sometimes I wonder if he isn't safer overseas at times.

Our 10 year old Lab/German Shepherd is not doing well. While we were on vacation, he flipped his stomach (like in the book Marley and Me). He got into the trash and some frozen grapes I had on the counter. He has not been eating well. The boys and I both know that the end is near. But, I really want AJ to see him and want him to be there with me when or if we have to put him down. Our puggle will just be so sad. He has been trying to play with him, and he just doesn't have it in him. We know that we will not be able to be without another dog for long. He is my watch dog, and my Puggle certainly won't be much of a protection. I certainly don't have the energy to be up with a puppy, but it would be nice to have one for the boys to take care of over the next year. No idea even what we would get, but it will be a GIRL. Just say a prayer for us. The boys seem to be doing o.k. But, it will be hard on them.
