Maya All Grown Up

Today is an exciting day in our house, Maya officially turned one today.  She has been with us for about eight and a half of those months.  Even though she is a handful sometimes, we love her to the moon and back.  Buddy has learned to share his attention, but I think he also enjoys having someone to run around with. 

Of course to celebrate, we had to buy Maya a birthday cookie!  We couldn't leave the store without also buying something for Buddy, it was only fair.  So, Buddy got a Peanut Butter Cup. 

 Here is Maya and her Muddy Paws treat.  Andrew thought it was only fitting for her since she always comes in with muddy paws from digging in the yard!  You can't really tell in the photo, but the paper was still on the treat she was in such a big hurry. 

Let's just say Buddy got to his faster than I could take his photo, so here is Buddy after he just took a big bite! 

Here is a look back at Maya's first year with us! 

 Shortly after we brought Maya home in October.  She was about 16 weeks when we got her. 

 Buddy and Maya bff's!

I'm pretty sure Maya still looks the same she did the day we got her.  She might have filled out a bit, but not much.

Buddy and Maya will soon have a new yard to run around in.  I'm laughing as I write this because I'm guessing you all thought I was going to say Buddy and Maya were going to have a new brother or sister.  Sorry to disappoint, folks.  The week we wanted to take the house off the market, we had a showing that resulted in an offer.  We haven't had a showing on the house in over a month and were mentally prepared to take the house off the market and start doing some work on it.  I think I even shared some of our plans on here.  No news yet on where we are going, but we should know by this weekend.  Things are going to be moving fast around here for the next month or so. 

 

I told Andrew the next time I want something, I'm just going to forget about it and say I don't want it because that is when things seem to happen for me in life.  I'm not sure when I am going to learn that valuable lesson in life.  Things will happen when they are supposed to happen.  Andrew and I encountered each other in college when  I had decided I was just going to focus on school and stop worry so much about meeting someone.  When I mentally prepared to work a couple of part time jobs until I found something full time after I graduated, I received two full time offers in one day.  When we couldn't find a friend for Buddy that we thought was a good fit, I ran across Maya's litter.  I could probably go on for a while, but I think you all see my point.  

 

So, there is the big news in the Wood house for the week.  The emotions associated with this move have been a roller coaster.  I have to admit I feel a little bit of sadness at the thought of moving, but I think that has more to do with this being our first house together as a married couple.  I know wherever we go, we will make new memories together.  As Andrew would tell you, I'm not a fan of change and change here we come!  We will post more as we know more.
