Meet Luna

I really need to get better about blogging regularly. I struggle, as probably most new bloggers do, with what to write about. I'll figure it out and get the hang of posting more frequently - just bear with me!

I've been M-I-A because...we had a big, fat, exciting change happen in our lives a couple weeks ago.

Meet Luna Lovegood (yes, that Luna), our rescued pup. We had been thinking of adopting a puppy for a while now, since I’d moved in and we had figured out our work schedules. During our search, we came across Good Karma, a network of foster homes, where they rescue dogs and cats from kill-shelters and foster them until they can adopt them out. We saw a picture of a mama and her three babies and we were obsessed. Here are the three girls (Luna’s two sisters and mama are still up for adoption, so if you live in South Florida, please consider! They’re the bomb dot com.)

Luna stole our hearts with her unique ears and perfectly pathetic face. Within a week we had applied, had a home visit, and adopted her! And it’s been perfect. She goes comatose every few hours and sleeps through the night and is the apple of her daddy’s eye. We’re totally mush and have agreed that when we have babies one day, we’re going to have to quit our jobs because we’ll completely lose our shit and just sit there staring at the baby all day.

Luna joins my other dog, Argos (who my parents demanded I leave with them when I moved out) and Jordan’s family dogs, Guinness and Kahlua, which are also rescues.

Oh – and here are a few more things I’ve crossed off my “101 Things in 1001 Days” list: 

25. Try 3 new recipes a month - (3/3 - Beef Teriyaki in Crockpot, Herb-Marinated Grilled Shrimps, and Cauliflower Rice) - all new recipes for us, and the last 2 are SO good, they will be added as regulars to our weekly meal plan. If you want the recipes, leave me a comment and let me know. I'm more than happy to share!

39. Find a skincare regimen -This one is kind of completed - I'll post about my skincare regimen soon

77. Rescue a puppy & name him Sirius Black ;o) - Not quite a Sirius, but Luna is keeping in theme with our HP love!

93. Try 10 new restaurants - (4/10 - Shalizaar and Fog Harbor in SF, Bad Daddy's Burger Bar in Charlotte, Mylos Greek Restaurant) - Ok...this one is going to be too easy, we love eating!
