welcome september

ok here's the scoop. i haven't taken any pictures. i know i keep saying i will, but i just haven't taken my camera out of the jeep and then i remember when zach has the jeep at work. blast my gettin old memory...i really will post pictures and we have a lot to post now. pictures of our apartment, and..... our new puppy!
yes that's right i said our new puppy. she is adorable and i love her so very much. Rei or Rae (we can't decide on the spelling) is a 5/6 month old chocolate lab/boxer mix. She came to us yesterday from a friend from work. So far Rei/Rae has only pottied in the house 3 times and I think it was because she was nervous in her new home. The first time was 10 minutes after zach left for work...of course she likes zach more... and the 2nd time was 2 minutes after he came home from work. The third time was when we were trying to bedtime her. she didn't want to get locked in the bathroom (we don't have a kennel yet) and pottied on the floor & part of her bed.
Rei/Rae has quite the personality and brains. she knows what toys are hers. she knows sit. she has almost got lay down. and she is learning not to play with our hands and arms as toys. she sort of knows fetch, but is ADOSS (attention deffi...ooo somethin shiny) and looses interest quickly. rei/rae has claimed her spot on the couch, but knows not to jump on zach & my bed. and for being a puppy, she is active, but also pretty chill mannered. i am so excited to finally have a dog of my own.
in other news, i finally have a test day scheduled for my national massage exam. sept 16th at 3pm here in ogden. i didn't hear anything back from the spa for a hands on interview. i am almost certain now that i didn't get that position. i'll have to e-mail/call them and let them know that i have a test day scheduled or maybe when i pass i will let them know i passed. i haven't quite decided yet as i only got my test scheduled today.
i am totally excited to also finally be taking a honeymoon. we are going the last week of september. my boss wasn't too happy when i asked for the time off... (that is the first week of case lot at maceys and we are in the beginning of training 2 new people) i do feel bad, but i also don't quite feel bad as work has been getting more stressful as of late. nothing to do with my boss, but the head boss of the whole store. he is a younger guy and is just riding the power trip. so i am excited to really take an entire week off of work and everything.
i was asked to play a musical number on the piano for sacrament on the 12th. i am so rusty that i am hoping angels will come move my fingers for me. but i am totally stoked because as sort of a graduation/we need to find a home present, my dad offered me the piano i grew up playing. he is bringing it down from idaho on the 11th of september! i am getting a piano...the piano i learned how to play on.
i am also really excited for sept 18th. not just is it adam's birthday, but zach and i have Real Salt Lake soccer tickets. they play chicago and we are going to see them live. zach is pretty excited too. so i think this month is going to be a good month. and i really will post pictures.
