Super excited for wednesday!

Under normal circumstances, wednesdays are not so super exciting.  I don't have a normal, 9-5 monday to friday job, so it doesn't necessarily mean it is getting to end of my work week.  This week is actually a nine day work week, with wednesday being my friday.  But, wednesday is also our first prenatal appointment, and with a new doctor to boot.  I'll be at six and a half weeks so it may be to early for anything awesome to happen, but I'm still excited for it.  I currently have a tadpole, kind of like Kermit's nephew Robin on Muppet Babies.  Hopefully, not so green.  I feel great so far; I have only had one really bad bout of nausea but no morning sickness.  I get dizzy a lot, and am tired quicker than normal but otherwise all is well.  Hopefully wednesday will go well...

Our babies shtories

Our babies are four legged; Moco is a Chihuahua-Jack Russell mix and Talula (Lula) is... we're not sure.  We were told she was a Chihuahua-Italian Greyhound mix but have been recently told she is a Lavender Chihuahua. Either way, she is ours.  We got Moco as a puppy, a small furry ball who was super curious, playful and very smart.  We could (and still can) teach Moco a new trick and within several tries he can do it on command.  Whether he wants to, that is a different question, but he will do his tricks on command. Moco can sit, lay, roll over, speak, play dead, poison, stay, go around, wait, up, back, and he can jump through our arms. We got Lula as a rescue dog from Las Vegas.  Casey's sister had seen her running around her neighborhood for a few days; she had been sleeping in Lesha's backyard and was scavenging for food.  She looks like she had been taken care of before because she had her tail bobbed, and as we later learned, she was a runner.  We took her to a local vet to see if she had been chipped (she hadn't) and to see if anyone was looking for her (no one was) so she came home with us.  She has been a little harder to train; she has mastered sit, lay, roll over, give five, poison but is still being house-trained.  Both dogs love to play find the treat (we make them sit in one room and hide treats for them in another room), play with their babies, getting scratched and rides in cars.  They don't especially like me dressing them up in clothes, but will tolerate it.  This is their shtory.

Where we are now in our shtory...

...Since Casey graduated a little over a month ago, life as we know it has changed a lot in some ways and not so much in others.  Here is a quick rundown of those ways:

• Casey is not in school anymore!  Yay, except that now he is freaking out about passing his NAPLEX (national certification) on July 19 and Utah State Law test the following Monday.  Changed: no school; Not changed:  studying like crazy.
• Casey is working now, as a graduate intern, so that is awesome!  However, with opposite work schedules the last two weeks, I feel like I am seeing him just as often as I did while he was still in school.  Changed: Casey working; Not changed: still not seeing him.
• We kind of have money again since Casey is working more than 14 hours a week.  Which is great, except that we are trying to save to buy a house so sometimes it feels like we are still student-poor, only buying the essentials while we save to pay for the really expensive one-off (ie: tuition, house down payment, etc.)

This is by no means all of the changes, either big or small, but I am tuckered out and want to go to sleep.  later for you all!
