it got up to 55 degrees this last week so mike and i were finally able to take the dogs to the park. its one of our favorite things to do here in bend. if you have ever met pippin you know how excited and, well, happy he ALWAYS is. after just one hour at the dog park he is calm like this for the rest of the day and night. he really does make the perfect lap dog.



these photos are to showcase two things...1) our pretty new computer and 2) our amazing thrift store find, the desk. before we did our taxes we promised ourselves we wouldn't be as wreckless as we were last year (last year all of our refund was gone in less than a week). So this year we gave ourselves a budget. and we actually spent less. goodbye tiny screened netbook hello comfortable spacious desk with a generously sized screen! yay!
a lot of our remaining tax refund is funding our trip to boise next month. we are so excited to spend time with every one march 19-22nd. mark your calendars! <3
