one size bigger

Milly May's "house" just got upgraded! After weeks of looking somewhat cramped in her size {large} crate, Matt and I took a trip to Petsmart. Our sweet puppy girl is growing fast - 8 months and around 80 pounds!! She is now the proud owner of a size {x-large} crate. The extra square footage will be appreciated :-)

life got going

Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! The holidays have passed and the new year is well underway! And {boy oh boy} there is so much to tell you...

I've had {good intentions} SO many times to write new blog posts, but life got going and, well, it hasn't stopped!  In order to get back into the {blogosphere groove}, I will highlight what has been going down with the Fort Worth clan and will expand those happenings in the upcoming posts. My hope is that by the end of the week, you'll be caught up on FBOFW's life!

We celebrated Christmas with my family in {St. Louis} and they finally got to meet Miss Milly May!




It was a fabulous but much too short trip! We headed back to Fort Worth on December 26th and celebrated the New Year at home... {just the three of us}.

2013 was going well until I got an itch that just HAD to be scratched.  That itch? I wanted to foster puppies who were waiting to find their {furever} families. There is so much to be said about this life event... what you need to know right now is that {I scratched that itch} SO WELL that I may never get the itch again because...

WE TOOK IN, not 1, but {2} FOSTER PUPPIES.
God bless {Matt} & {Milly} for loving me still...

Let me introduce you to {Carlos} and {Vida} - pit bull terriers and now 4 months old. Carlos is all black with the exception of his white feet.  Vida is a total mixture of black and white.




So now we have our 8-month old Great Pyrenees (her stats to come later!) and our two 4-month old foster pups, but the insanity doesn't stop there...

In addition to corralling the {puppy circus} that has become our life, what are {Matt & I} up to??
I am working full-time, undergoing teacher training and studying for my certification. Matt returned to traveling for work this January... every Monday through Friday.

Lots of hard work and very little play, but we're more {in love} than ever, {cherish} the short time we do share together and continue to {laugh} our way through the daily ups and downs!










Looking so forward to blogging again! FBOFW...
