life.

!wow. i recently realized that i have not posted since fire season ended in october. too long.  so i have to update about everything.  well not everything… BUT everything exciting going on in our lives.  {this may be a long one so stop reading whenever you get bored reading about the life of bcm and i :]]}

for starters we just had our last group of visitors and we were sad to see them go but we had the most wonderful time with everyone that came to see us.  so much laughter and fun {and skiing/snowboarding}.  we think and hope that everyone really enjoyed new mex and we sure are thankful to all of you for coming all this way to spend time with us!! it means so much. 

 

next, fire season is back in full swing. brian is already working overtime and the season just started {a week ago}. woohoo!! The good news… brian will be swamping on the saw crew this season- which means nothing to most, but to brian this is exciting so naturally i am also SO excited for him! 

also, one of the most exciting things that has happened fairly recently is the engagement of one of my best, best friends, heather.  you may not believe this, but i actually do not remember my life without her.  our moms have been friends for many years and they both put us in “mommy and me” classes at age one.  from there our friendship began.  so like I said… I don’t remember a day of my life without heather which makes this engagement so special.  almost 24 years of a very wonderful friendship…we have been through many stages of life together {and stayed friends through the oh so awkward stages of life} and NOW MARRIAGE!! i mean we talked about these days many, many years ago and now my best friend is getting married!!!!!!!!!!  i am positive i am starting to bug her by my text messages that say “update please”  but i can’t help it! i am so so so so so excited for her and her amazing fiancé, alby!  of course there will be lots of updates to come.

lastly, most people know, but brian and i adopted a sweet pup, paisley.  she is so special.  however, she came with many corks so she never fails to provide us with great laughs and so much joy.  she is scared of everything… but mostly people.  and the tumbleweeds that roll around on the grass when it’s windy that are actually not scary at all. and the wire fence at the dog park that brian and i were standing on one side of calling her name and she made the best attempt to jump over it and go under it all at the same time which resulted in her getting close-lined.  needless to say it takes a little bit of encouraging to get her through it every time but she is overcoming her fear.     

 even though she is scared of so much she does get excited about things and her tail comes out from between her legs.  she loves the great outdoors and going anywhere in a vehicle{the challenge is getting her out}.  and she especially loves other dogs.  my friend caitlin’s dog {cypress} in particular.  we think cypress might like paisley a little but mostly i think she views her as a pest.  the friendship  consists of paisley jumping on cypress over and over again, licking her face, and doing all kinds of other really weird, annoying things until cypress decides to give in and play with her.  i can only hope that cypress continues to PUT UP with paise.
