Help!

I came home today from work to find that this little guy decided to use my rug as his personal urinal. 

We've been taking care of him for almost 5 months now and he still has potty accidents at LEAST once a week.  Now I know this should be expected for a puppy, but he's 8 years old, let me clarify, he's 8 HUMAN years old.  I think that makes him like 56 in dog years.   I reward him after every time he goes potty outside,  I've tried the bitter apple spray, I only give him water in the morning and when he goes by the sink looking for it.....but it's not working! So please, PLEASE let me know if you have any potty training advise for an old dog. 

I still love him. 

Good Things

Today has been an exciting day! First, I got my old job back....well, same company but it's a new position doing a lot of social marketing. I start on Wednesday and I'm super excited.  The best part is that they are willing to work with Dave's crazy summer job.  I tried to stay in Utah and work last summer while he was living in Boston, key word... TRIED, I did not succeed.  This summer they will work something out where I will be traveling back and forth every few weeks.  Sounds exhausting but totally worth it.

Second, Dave found out today where he will be moving this summer.  He is going to the "concrete jungle where dreams are made of...the streets will make you feel brand new...the lights will inspire you...NEW YORK!"  We will be living somewhere on Long Island. He was suppose to go there last year, but things fell through at the last minute so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that things work out this year for Long Island! So many fun things to do and see. Can't wait!

Yes, I put the house from Something's Gotta Give in the same category as the Statue of Liberty, Central Park and the Empire State Building.....watch the movie again...you'll understand...the house is AMAZING! And its on Long Island!

Locked Out

Today we drove to Provo to watch the BYU vs. Air Force basketball game, however parking was RIDICULOUS (as usual).  After driving around for 3o minutes without finding a parking place, we decided to just go watch the game on t.v. back at our house.  When we got home the garage door would not open because the power was out.  Dave asks, "Babe, where's your key to get into the house?"  Uh....key? hmmmm.......nope I don't have one of those with me.  Just my handy dandy garage door opener.  We drove around Alpine for a couple hours and still the power hadn't turned on.  Finally we decided to just go to Draper and hang out, and of course as soon as we got to Draper.....we got the message from our alarm saying the power had been restored! This was not our day.  However, there was a large package on my porch when I got home....this was inside-

My Little Giant Ladder!  Dave has been making fun of me all week because I've been really excited about getting this ladder! Expect some serious painting to be happening in the near future.

Lesson learned: always carry a spare key to my house!

Ugly Sweater Party

Or should I say ITCHY SWEATER PARTY! A few days ago we had an ugly sweater party with my friends from high school. I'm sad I did't get a pic of just Dave and I, but please notice Dave's snowman sweater vest! Isn't that awesome?!  I think the winner goes to Molly or Tyson. I can't decide which one is better. Molly's sweater looks like something an old german woman may have been buried in and Tyson, well I'm pretty sure he's wearing a buffalo.

We had lots of yummy food. Every time Molly would get Drake cleaned up, he would somehow end up with another cookie in his hand! Smart kid!

Janessa was able to come to Utah for Christmas and I was so HAPPY she could come see us! 

JANESERCA reunited! 

Um can you say adorable!!!!??? 

Sweet little kiddos.

It was great to see everyone! Can't wait for the next party....but maybe no ugly itchy sweaters.  I'm pretty sure I had a rash on my arm by the end of the night!  I still can't believe I paid money for that ugly thing!
