Live and Let Live

As Melon has been growing in size, his energy levels have about tripled. Instead of being the sweet, napping little baby he once was, now he is a tyrannical beast - tearing up socks and pant legs, and rarely ever resting. To accommodate this new found energy I have been taking him on lots and lots of walks. Our apartment complex has a dog park which is probably pretty awesome in the summertime but in the winter it's kind of just blah.... but it's fenced so I figured I'd take him off the leash and let him go run around there.

But I take off the leash and what does he do? Jumps up on the bench and sits next to me. I even tried throwing a ball and he wouldn't chase it, haha. He just wanted to sit on the bench. Which is ok I guess, I just wish he'd do that at home, haha. 

Aren't these books lovely? I ordered them off Amazon and had to discipline myself as to not order all of them! Someday I dream of having my own library and I would love to fill it with hundreds of beautifully bound books such as these. I told you in the last post how much I have been loving Jane Eyre and period dramas and what not. I just can't get enough of them these days.

Last weekend I drove down to good old Utah County to hang out with my best friend, Shelby. We went out to eat and hung out in the hot tub at the Provo Rec Center. Nathan had gone up to Idaho to snowmobile. It was nice having some girl time.

That same weekend my friend from work, Jess invited me to go out to dinner with her after our shift had ended! I had such a good time. The nurses I work with are all so nice. I feel like I've been very fortunate to become friends with all of them. They all look out for me in a way that never happened at my previous job. So I suppose you could say there are some upsides to living in Ogden.

Where one door closes, others are always opened, yes?
