It is a beautiful, sunny Saturday. The first beautiful, sunny day in a couple of weeks.
We had plans to go see "Hop" with my mom at 12:40. I decided to try and find a new outfit for Mila's school pictures this coming week, so we went a little early. On the way over to pick up my mom, I went past the house we are trying to buy and FINALLY the painters were there getting started on the required paint necessary for closing to happen. Just as I had given up nearly all hope, it looks like we will be buying our house on Tuesday. I am so relieved and excited that I can hardly stand it.
Then we got my mom and went to the mall. For the first time, Mila actually tried clothes on and made a rational decision on which outfit she wanted. That was pretty nice. She chose a black and white dress with pink leggings. It's very cute. We grabbed some lunch and headed over to the movies. It was a fun movie! A little long for a 3 year old, but I think she did fairly well. She got antsy about an hour in, but she had some right. Plus she had a tummy ache. It happens when you weigh 35 pounds and eat 40 pounds of popcorn.
She is currently napping on the sofa and I just finished a response to another exciting email. We found an ad on Craigslist for a Bernese Mountain Dog whose owner just cannot keep him because of his work schedule. We fell in love with him before we even saw pictures because of how the man described him. He just sounds like the perfect fit for our family, and is exactly what we were looking for. The fact that he is a well trained adult makes him even more perfect to me. We will be able to tell his personality already and won't have to work as hard on training. So, I wrote him an email last week and never heard back. Until today! Yay!! He says he would like to meet us and sent pictures of the dog, Winston. He is beautiful. Mila fell in love when she saw his pictures. Not me. Not at all. Okay, maybe a little. Or...completely. I am so excited. Our perfect home and dog in the same week. It may be too much. Am I tempting the fates or getting what I deserve? Let's hope it's the second. Here is one of the pictures he sent of Winston.
