will you accept this bone?

ok, so i know i owe all of you an update on my vacation (which was fabulous btw), but i'm a little sidetracked with excitement right now!

i follow a super cute blogger couple (younghouselove.com) and they recently started a blog for their adorable little chihuahua named burger. they decided it would be fun to do a dog version of the bachelor and pick out a mate for their pup (just figuratively i think... haha). so i submitted my yorkie daisy and she made the top 25!

i'm living my bachelor fantasies through my dog. how pathetic is that? haha!

needless to say this is super exciting. almost as exciting as the time my other dog snickers (rip good buddy) won 'pet of the year' at millersville university. that was VERY exciting. :)

so go leave daisy some love. she's #18! click here!!!

vacation pictures coming shortly. :)

friendsmoon

so i hate to break it to all of you but i am posting today from a lovely house right on the beach in beautiful north carolina. yes, it's true- i am on vacation. hallelujah.

when i was in zambia in august a good friend of mine emailed me to invite me to go on a "friendsmoon." my first reaction was probably the same as yours- "what the heck is a friendsmoon?" as i read further in the email i discovered that some awesome women i know decided to plan a vacation just for the ladies... so no men. so kind of like a honeymoon, but just with girls- thus FRIENDSMOON was born. i didn't even read any of the details of the email, but quickly responded with a "heck yes i will go" and figured i'd learn the details later.

turns out the details were a house right on the beach on beautiful topsail island. can i just say that i love north carolina? good, cause i just did. vacationing here is always so fantastic and so far this trip is no exception. we arrived yesterday afternoon and were delighted to see amazing views of the ocean just steps from our 3 story deck.

today i spent my day laying outside, reading books, playing games and getting to know some of these ladies more. right now there are 7 of us, but come thursday the number will jump to 18! yikes! haha! should get interesting!

and currently i am watching first knight... i love me some richard gere. pardon me while i swoon. hope everyone else is having a great week!
