Bella’s Got A Boyfriend

Posted in Uncategorized by

This is a big day in the Crain household…well especially for Bella! See, Bella entered to be a contestant on the Bachelor, doggie style (keep it clean folks!). Our favorite blog, Young House Love created a brand new blog for their handsome Chihuahua, Burger. Well, Bella is IN LOVE with Burger so she jumped at the chance to enter in a contest to become his one and only. Okay, maybe it was more like Josh and I were jumping up and down at the idea, but either way she was excited. Keep an eye on Hamburger’s House to find out if Bella makes it to the semi-finals. We are crossing our fingers BIG TIME! How cute would little chiweenies be? For those of you who feel the need to remind me that yesterday I mentioned that my dog is unable to produce a la 101 Dachshunds…well, don’t. I can dream can’t I?

Here are some photos that we sent for the contest, plus a few more just because we love Bella that much…

 
 
 
 
 

Thanks for your support! Also, for an update…I have been home from the hospital for 3 hours now. This all to say that I survived!! My stomach and my throat are hurting, but you know…it’s all in a days work. I promise to give an update on the whole procedure (well I will leave out the graphic photos) soon. I am giving my body a little bit of a rest before I recount the details. Thank you everyone for being there for me through all of this. I appreciate the love and prayers!!

Welcome Welcome

Why, hello there and thank you for stopping by! It has taken me quite some time to figure out exactly how to introduce a new blog. Do you immediately just start blogging, or do you take time to explain to your (count them…zero) readers why you are even taking the time to ramble about your life on this here blog? Well, I don’t know the answer to that…so I am just going to do what I do best, a little bit of everything! I started this blog so that I could share some things about me, my love for houses, interior design, cooking, oh and don’t forget the occasional crafting. Ok erase all that…the truth is I didn’t feel right starting a blog because I didn’t have a baby or a house to brag about. All that I’ve got is me, the other half of me, and the smallest version of me. In short there is me, my husband, and my teeny tiny dachshund.

I will take just a moment to rant. Who chose to name the long skinny short-legged creature a dachshund? I mean…I pride myself on my spelling (I think that was the only subject I actually was good at in school)…but even I have to wonder how they came up with such a difficult name. Just saying… Well don’t you worry, a quick trip to Google and I will have my answer. Oh just my luck, the trusty Wikipedia has already answered my question! Apparently it means “badger dog” Interesting… <!– /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:1; mso-generic-font-family:roman; mso-font-format:other; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:0 0 0 0 0 0;} @font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:swiss; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:-1610611985 1073750139 0 0 159 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; margin-top:0in; margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:10.0pt; margin-left:0in; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink {mso-style-priority:99; color:blue; text-decoration:underline; text-underline:single;} a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed {mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; color:purple; mso-themecolor:followedhyperlink; text-decoration:underline; text-underline:single;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; mso-default-props:yes; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} .MsoPapDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; margin-bottom:10.0pt; line-height:115%;} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} –Ok, enough with that. Let me introduce our “doxie” Miss Isabella “Bella” Crain…isn’t she a beauty?



Back to me. See, the truth is I became a serious blog-stalker…no I mean really. Certain bloggers have become household names around these parts. I am always running to tell the hubby who renovated what in their house, who’s having a baby…you know, just like I would for my real friends (yes folks, I have them!). Anyway, my husband, Joshua (see below) told me that it didn’t matter if I had a house or a baby; the truth is I owe it to the blogging community to get a little more involved. So, here I am. Oh, that’s me, next to Joshua.

Well, thank you for taking the time to visit! I promise to have much less text next time and much more fun stuff. I have things already planned out (recipes, crafts, fun photos) so keep checking back!
