Shadow

If you know me, you know about my poodle, Doodle. He is my child and I am obsessed with him. You might not know that we also have a cat. I am not really a cat person. Justin had her before he met me, otherwise I would not be living with a cat. 

But it was recently brought to my attention that a lot of people didn't know about her, and as far as cats go, she's actually pretty cool, so I thought I might as well introduce her to you all. 

5 Reasons Why Shadow Is The Coolest Cat Around

1. Her haircut. We shave Shadow to look like kind of like a lion. Actually not "we" personally, a groomer does it. But she loves it, honest. Normally she kind of lives in the bedroom and will only come out into the living room when it's just Justin and I. But not when she has a new haircut. She struts around the house like she is the hottest kitty out there. 





2. How she sits. I can only describe it as sitting like a human. It is the funniest thing. Sometimes she'll do it in the middle of the floor, sometimes on the couch like she's watching TV, it's great. 





3. She has a FUPA. I think she had kittens in the past, but Justin says it's just because she used to be fat and now she's skinny. I guess that depends on your definition of the word skinny because her FUPA is dangerously close to dragging on the ground when she walks.

See that belly pudgin out?

4. She has been known to do yoga. Every now and then I will walk into the room and Shadow will be sitting there in this pose. Just holding it. She's a pro.


5. She's old. This might not seem like a positive attribute, but for a non cat lover this means she is calm, keeps to herself, doesn't rip things to shreds, and doesn't want to play constantly. She's a fan of food, and naps, and getting her belly rubbed. All things I can get behind. 

Obviously really enjoying herself here. 



So there she is. She's a beauty isn't she? Hope you all have enjoyed getting to know Shadow! Have a great weekend!

Recent Life Happenings and a Little Brain Vomit

Whoa you all. It has been too long. I'm going to get better at this blogging and working thing... I promise.

I've been pretty busy with work but also with some super fun things.

Thursday Doodle got a hair cut. You guys... this is something we do because it is necessary. Not something we do because we think he looks good this way... He grows out in a few weeks and looks super cute again. I promise.

So sad. 
Shadow also got a haircut. Yes, we give our cat a haircut, and yes she loves it. Bible.



Boots with the fur...
Also on Thursday my MIL and I went to a Bachelorette dinner for our yoga instructor and friend. It was at The Wine Cellar which is a really cool restaurant in downtown Coeur d'Alene. We had the top floor to ourselves and we had such a blast.


While at dinner we all went around and gave the bride-to-be our best piece of marriage advice. It was so great to be able to give advice as a married woman!! But also so nice to hear advice for myself as well! Some key notes... Pray. Pray with your husband, pray for your husband, pray for patience, and love, and just pray. Also remember how you felt on your wedding day and all of the reasons you got married and love your husband. Also, keep that fire alive!

Friday Justin and I decided to have a night staying in, just us two. We made eggplant parmesan for dinner, yum. And when I say we I actually mean Justin made it and I read him the recipe. We also watched some of our favorite TV shows... including about 5 episodes of The League. Do you guys watch this? Oh my goodness I think it's so funny. It's definitely kind of a man show and can sometimes be a little bit raunchy but if your man wants to watch it, give in. You'll get points for letting him pick the TV show, and its actually really funny. And it's on Netflix! Win.


On Saturday my MIL and I had a total girls day. We went to yoga in the morning and then spent the day sipping wine and getting ready for a wedding that night. The wedding was at a church at Gonzaga University and was so amazing.

It was such a beautiful and fun night spent with good people having such a great time and celebrating a great couple.

Sunday was spent recovering, and thats about it. Oh, and mourning the Niners loss.

I don't want to talk about it.

In other news it's 100 days away from Christmas today so that's great. I almost want to make one of those paper count down chains but I'll hold back... at least until after Thanksgiving.

Also, as much as I love fall... it was dark tonight when I got out of yoga. At 7:45. This is the first time this has happened and it made me a little sad. But then the new Miley song was on the radio and that made it a little better. Speaking of... I'm loving that song, but why do her videos have to be so weird?! Miley... why do you have to lick random things and have your tongue out all the time?


When did this become a thing? I don't like it.


Well that's all for now... enough brain vomit for one night.

Happy Monday loves!
