Hello my love,

Yesterday was such a big day for us!

We got to meet (drum roll for puppy name announcement....) Manya for the first time! She is so so little right now. She's just about the same size as her little piggy toy.

I think we both feel a little bit better about the breeder now. Patricia was very nice in person and we agree she has no idea how to use technology.

Holding her and watching you hold her was such a wonderful experience. I know some day  (and maybe when you read this) we will be running on empty and our patience will be running thin. All I ask of both of us is that we remember how it felt to hold her for the first time.

We got another two pint glasses for having flights at 603! NOTE TO FUTURE US: DON'T HAVE THE RUM STOUT!!

We got pad Thai for dinner and it was so so yummy!

We also got to see Haggis last night!! They were really good (as usual) but we both agreed Trevor might be getting sick (or old)

When they played Letters, you ran back to me from the bathroom. I tried not to get emotional, because I know about this blog and I feel like a lot of why this blog exists is because of that song. It means more to take the time to write to you, even when you're in the next room over and I'm frantically typing as fast as I can so you don't get suspicious.

Sometimes I feel bad that I don't write to you as often as I'd like to. I don't want you to think that this was a silly project I half ignored and half was totally into.

I'm so in love with you, baby.

I really feel like Manya coming home is about to be a crazy, stressful, really rewarding and happy time. We're a team, always. We get through stuff together because that's when we're strongest.

XOXO

Hello my love,
It snowed yesterday and now on my day off I am lounging in bed even though it's almost 11!!

We have a big weekend ahead of us! We get to meet our baby girl!!! I'm so excited.  I know you are too bub. It's really funny to me that you and I are so different in how we show our excitement.
I feel like we will figure out her name this weekend, too. We currently have a top 3: Tulip, Manya and Kaylee May.

It's hard for me to have it seem real workout meeting her, you know? I'm so excited for her to come home. 

I know that when you read this, she will still be very much a puppy and she will most likely be testing our patience currently but just remember how excited we were now. How excited we are to figure out where you buy her food or me spending two hours in pet stores at a time. She will learn, she will stop having accidents, she will stop crying at night. She's only a baby now, but I know we're doing our best with her.

We played a bunch with siding last night. We really like the grey with maroon trimming and the blue with white trimming.

It's crazy to me to think of how far we've come in the past year already (we still have two more months to go from where I am in time!)
Thank you baby. For everything you do, for everything you are to me, for being you.

I am so grateful for you Kevin Anthony. You are the man of my dreams and even better than that, You're the man I get to hold at night.

Your's always,
M
