Puppy Inspires Blog!

Truth be told... this blog has been in the works for almost two years now.  It started with our wedding in May 2011. So many great pictures and memories that  I wanted to capture and share in a more personal way than Facebook provides (I actually have an awesome post already drafted - hold your breath for that one). Then it was the epic summer of 2012 - 4 amazing weddings complete with bacehlorette parties, bridal showers and all the crazy that comes with;  8 vacations, including Hawaii, Leavenworth, Key Peninsula and beyond; our 1st anniversary;  a near softball championship in our beer league (damn you Hooverville!) and more... (yep, that's another future post already in the cue).... and yet... this blog remained unpublished.

Why? It surely wasn't for lack of content. Maybe I just needed some inspiration. A muse. A reason to share. Something to grip my audience (hi Mom) ... something to keep myself diligent.  And then along came Molly....

Steve's 30th Birthday present. Molly Johnson. Pure chocolate lab cuteness. Born 11/23/12 at a farm in Auburn, Washington to a litter of 15! Mom and Dad both live at the farm and we may go see them again in the future. All her brothers and sisters were adopted.  Molly was initially adopted too and then "returned" because the original owner got a job that required him to move out of state.  Bad for him. Good for us, and we'll take her!

We're still getting to know this little bundle of puppy love, but we'll be sure to keep you updated on her journey of indoctrination to the Johnson family.

 

Steve picked her up at the farm on 1/24/13. 

And I quote, "Annie, you know I'm coming home with a dog if I go look right?"

Sleepy girl.

And so goes the headline - Puppy Inspires Blog!! It feels like Molly is the first step in a number of changes and developments coming down the pike for the Johnsons.  Now seems as good a time as any to start documenting the journey.  It's an experiment (hey, everyone else is doing it).  A time capsule, if you will.  Maybe this will just serve as a personal diary for me, or maybe it will be a way for friends and family near and far to keep up to date.  Whatever it turns out to be, it is endeavoured upon  as an attempt to log the good, the great and the ridiculous that can be my life......
