A Year With Porter

This is just a tad bit over-due. As of February 7th, we have had our Pup for an entire year! That year was filled with various puppy things, including, being chewed up, waking up in the wee hours of the night when he was just a baby, arguing over who would take him out, going on vacation with extras, finding puppy-sitters, snuggling, wrestling, feeding, spending hard earned paychecks on toys to be destroyed in less than five minutes, and all the other joys Porter amounts to. You may have seen some of these pictures before, but enjoy anyways.

Here's our year with Porter...

Maine's Small Capital of Beer & Seafood

Back in December Greg and I took a Spontaneous Trip (my all time favorite way of vacationing) to Portland to spend some quality time together. The months before December were filled with all sorts of shenanigans. As many of you know, Greg took a new position in Wisconsin, and therefore a move was before us. It was a quick process as Greg put in a weeks notice, and I put in a four-week notice. Between packing, moving, flying to Arizona, celebrating the last fling before the ring, thanksgiving, weddings, and just trying to breathe, Greg and I were DESPERATE for some relaxation. And you ask, "Why Travel? Isn't that stressful in itself?" I would have to say, "No, it was exactly what the doctor ordered." We did absolutely nothing together and it was great. We spent the vast majority of those four days in Portland walking, eating delicious seafood, drinking East Coast brewed beer and cider, and looking at the Ocean from our hotel room. And here are a few pictures to prove that we did absolutely nothing other than enjoy what was before us.
