First Blog with my new MacBook Pro!!!!

So my mac book came in today. Happy Birthday to me early from my husband!!! lol... I love this thing. Now I got to make sure I am working it correctly. Went from a windows to a mac! I know how to mostly use it because at school in the music department all we had were macs. This thing is awesome.. Okay enough about my computer. Hopefully now I can video chat with my best friend Joanna.. Dear JoAnna you need skype as well on your macbook!

So I have been going crazy about this dog we might be getting. We will not know until Friday if we can have him because someone else is looking at him. I hope we get him, but if we don't it will be okay as well. If you guys dont know the whole story about this dog I will give you the story about it. Keep in mind that AJ and I did want another silver lab at some point. Just didn't know when exactly. We really wanted a sibling of Diezel and a lighter silver lab. That wish was not going to come true because Diezel's breeder had Norah (Diezel's mom) spayed. Well on Sunday night Diezel's breeder posted on facebook that one of the families that got a puppy was putting him up for adoption because the family didn't have time for him anymore so they don't want to be selfish anymore. AJ and I jumped at the chance because now our wish was back into play. It would be good thing for Diezel to have a friend! At the moment the dog's name is moose. Which if we did get him that would have to change (names posted later). I am trying not to get my hopes up but it is kind of hard not to because I really want him to be ours! This is a picture of Moose, he is just so gorgeous...

We also decided that we were going to move out of Southwind Apartments this week. We are going to move directly across 96 to Royal Oaks Apartments. So we can have a two bedroom for twenty dollars more than we pay here. I have wanted a two bedroom for awhile. If we do get another dog its good cause we will have more room for the both of them.

AJ went to the doctor today and found out he has strep throat. Luckily I can not get it. I have my tonsils removed in college so that is why I can't get it!!! HAHAHAHA. But I am staying clear of him so I do not get any other type of cold.  

He had a basketball game last night but couldn't go because he was so sick. I know he wanted to go and play even though he is sick because that is the type of man he is but I made him stay home! I am such a horrible wife! lol. Well the team won though... WOW Concord three games in a row! It is about time :) Good Job!

I didn't workout last night.. Please send me some motivation since I got out of my routine while my family was in town. I have been doing the Kinect work out called Your Shape. It is awesome and I love it. I have never sweated so much in my life (yes I know very gross) but even when I was doing P90X I was not sweating that much and that is a kick butt work out. I WILL WORK OUT TODAY!!! I WILL!

I made some awesome dinner last night it was amazing! We had brown sugar glazed pork and roast asparagus with crispy prosciutto. I am bias but it was AMAZING! I dont really like asparagus all that much either and I ate all of mine. Here is a picture of the brown sugar glazed pork with recipe to follow:
