Whirlwind

Wow, it feels like the past week has FLOWN by. I cannot believe it has been 7 days since my last post, sorry! Let's see what we missed...
Last Monday:
Fenway had her orientation to obedience training.
We were there for almost 2 HOURS! Not that I do not appreciate how thorough our teacher is, I just felt bad for Fenway. But in the past week she has stopped almost all accidents in her kennel and learned sit and a few other commands (the other commands only work when a treat is present). As predicted obedience school was hard for ahem, me. Apparently I praise Fenway too much. Hey! I cannot help when that cute little face looks at me I just want to snuggle into that sweet girl. Needless to say we/she is adjusting well and we are proud of her. The trainer did ask that she lay off the beer.

Starting her young.

I'm looking at you Mom. =)

Tuesday:
Intramural Volleyball
Yes, I am playing intramural co-ed volleyball. I still have a hard time playing with people who haven't played volleyball their whole life, but God is just teaching my patience and that my body is OLD and SORE. Yes, we lost too.

Wednesday:
Started on Kennys' birthday present, pictures to come.

Thursday:
Fenway to the vet.
Our little girl is now almost 12 pounds, such a chunker! She got two shots and had a stool sample taken and did GREAT. She didn't do well when they doctor wanted to look at her teeth but overall a great visit. We should be going back in about 2 months for her to get spayed! Yikes!

Fun ride home from the vet. We were stopped at a light, I promise!

Friday:
I took the whole day since we were leaving for Auburn with the team. It was POURING and I had to say goodbye to our little girl. But I knew she was in great hands with my GA.
After dropping her off and getting ready I headed to the private airport in Fayetteville. Our plane was a tad late because the first one had mechanical issues, but in no time we were on our way to Auburn.

I got to sit next to the hubs, got my own bag tag, and was served yummy treats on the plane. We landed in Montgomery, AL and stayed there Friday night. The wives all went to dinner together and had a wonderful time. One of the ladies' cousin lived there and she met us at dinner and showed us around the town.

Friday night.

The middle is the capitol, if you didn't know Montgomery is the capital of Alabama. We also saw the bus stop Rosa Parks was picked up at before she refused to give up her seat.
(That picture is on my other camera... sorry!!)
Then we went back to hotel, since we had an early morning for the 11 a.m. game.


Us at 7 a.m.

Since we were in Montgomery we had about a 45 minute bus ride to Auburn. Once we got there we had time to spare so the wives hung out on the bus. We had a fun time and all went into the game together and sat by each other.

We had a great win and a fun game. Kenny even had a cameo on TV. It was also beautiful and 85 at the game, only for us to go back to 45 and sleeting in Fayetteville.

The plane waiting for the team.

After the game we headed back for the plane home and we were back in Fayetteville by 6:30 p.m. What a way to travel right? Right when we landed we went to go pick up the Fenners. She was happy to see us but I knew she had a great time and was well taken care of.

Once we got home all of us passed out from our long weekend (and it was only Saturday!). We got up Sunday feeling refreshed and went to church and had a date at the movie Pitch Perfect. It is cute and really funny. Kenny headed in to work and I ran some errands (Fenway got a new leash).

Then I made some homemade spinach dip and toffee, both are SO yummy. After eating that junk, I took Fenway for a run around the block. When we got home she passed out in her bed.

I took a moment to document her growth. So the bottom is her picture from Sunday night and the top is when we were in Dallas at the beginning of September. She has grown!

I guess I was a little tired as well.

This was actually from last week, but Kenny has been blackmailing me with it.

I think that sums it all up. We had such a wonderful time and are looking forward to our next trip for James' birthday.

Also this popped up on my instagram and I thought I should share.

Just something to think about.

Also to day 4 of my challenge:
If you were an animal what would you be and why?

I would be a basset hound that belonged to my Mom and Dad, because they know how to give a dog the life! Also dogs are just happy and joyful. I love that they have a short memory and unconditional love. Plus dogs have a great life philosophy, "If you can't eat it or play with it, pee on it and walk away".

Hope y'all are having a great Monday,
love love love y'all,
