Its a beautiful day...

and I'm at work. Isn't that just how it always works? :-) actually today is alright to be at work, gotta make up some hours as I have been off the last three days. Why you ask. Well I'll tell you.

Todd and I ventured up to Newton to visit with the always lovely Gates family and it was a splendid and glorious time. Even though we were all exhausted and there was a moment or two when I thought Tauna was going to shoot us all, it was great fun. It was great to see Michael also (and I will continue to call him Michael even though I know he hates it, just because I can't help it. he's just Michael to me).

Then Saturday is Bella's obedience class day so tia and I ventured back up to West Jordan to go through the paces of the class. Upon first thinking about the fact that we drive 2 hours each way for a 1 hour class it seems vaguely stupid, but I really don't care. I think its good for her. she gets out with other people in different surroundings and she's actually learning stuff. She's a smart little hummer, which is not always the best thing but having this class makes us remember to work with her and not put it off as seems to have happened so many times in the past. She's going to be HUGE and she needs to know something about behaving.. that's my story and I'm sticking to it. I need to post new pics of her. she's growing.... and growing... and growing.
