Oh man! It’s been months since I’ve done one of these posts — where has the time gone? Anyway, here’s what I’m loving lately.

Liberty Bell

♡ Old City because there’s nowhere else like it (tourists seem to agree).

♡ Thai bubble tea. So good.

♡ The sun being out when I leave for work — trying to look on the bright side of the time change.

♡ these just ordered-boots which my mom insisted on buying for me (thanks, mom!).

pit lab

♡ this face, because how couldn’t I? Zamboni’s been with us almost two months now!

♡ my friend Christine’s new blog, The Hitchcockian Cockatoo. Go read it!

♡ mini golf. I’m horrendously bad at it, but a couple weeks ago I had a chance to play with my family and Nick’s, and it was a great time. Even though I lost by 18 shots.

♡ Burt’s Bees Milk & Honey body lotion. Luxury.

Squareburger milkshake

♡ the pumpkin pie milkshake at SquareBurger. Yum.

♡ Chai tea lattes. Recent discovery of mine — I always assumed they had coffee. At the age of 23, I feel my first problematic Starbucks addiction coming on.

♡ homemade applesauce in my Crockpot — thanks, Pinterest!

♡ seeing so many faces from home in October! Between my family and one of my closest friends from high school, it was a great month for visitors! I’m always open to more too!

homemade potato pancakes

♡ potato pancakes from scratch. Still so proud of these. Served with my applesauce.

♡ making plans for brunch, because brunch is always a good idea (except for my wallet, sadly).

♡ Allegiant — but I’m still processing!

♡ flowers all over the house!

Happy November!

Something very exciting happened last week…this guy!

Zamboni the Dog

Zamboni the Dog

If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile, you may have heard that I’m a total dog lover. One of the lamest parts of college was not coming home to a friendly furry face each day! Since graduating I’ve had the itch to adopt, but Nick — always being the wise one — thought it was best if we waited to make the committment. Well THE WAIT IS OVER. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME.

Anyway, here’s Zamboni’s story so far: after enough whining, Nick let me start doing research into adoptions a few weeks ago. I ended up finding a great shelter in Delaware, the Delaware Humane Association. We made our first trip last Thursday and went back on Sunday. That’s when we met Rocky.

Rocky (now Zamboni) is a lab/pit mix between two and three years old, and he arrived at the shelter by way of an owner surrender. It seems like before DHA, Rocky had a happy life but his parents were moving and he was unable to join them (for reasons we don’t know). And he was a perfect fit for us — the right age and breed we were looking for, with a great personality to match. He’s sweet and smart and so well-behaved (and housebroken, yes).

It’s only been a few days, but Zamboni has been fitting into our family seamlessly. We have a big yard so that’s where we play with him and toss around the Kong, the Holy Grail of dog toys. He’s a bit (ok, very much) of a chubster, so we try to walk him as often as we can so he stays active but doesn’t exhaust himself. And he hasn’t caused a raucous at all — we’ve left him home alone for a few hours here and there, and we’re pretty sure he doesn’t move a muscle after we leave. He hasn’t chewed anything around the house or barked, so he’s pretty much an angel.

Zamboni’s only been home a few days (since Thursday the 5th), but we couldn’t be prouder of how he’s doing. He’s such a great dog for us, and we hope that he’s happy in his new home — it’s something I wanted to make sure of before he made his social media debut. (You guys, I have so many Instagram-worthy pictures saved up already.)
