What About Keena Louise?
Now that we are all unified in our household as the Furr family (yes that is my new last name!) the big question is what has the star of the show, aka Keena Louise, been up to?! Well, I am happy to say that she is doing amazingly well. For those of you that remember, Keena was a up to a hefty 145 lbs and the vet had wanted her to lose some weight. Well, over the past several months we have cut back her food and she has been playing more and she is happy and healthy at 130 lbs now! If you remember from way back when, she also had some serious hair loss issues! She was diagnosed with "seasonal" hair loss and we give her melatonin for hair growth. She recently went through some SERIOUS shedding (who knew a short haired dog could lose SO MUCH HAIR) but thankfully she still has all of her hair and right now it is extremely gorgeous and shiny now!!! Charles and I just love our biggest fur baby and she is such a huge part of our lives!
New Name=New Beginnings
Oh my goodness it has been almost a year since I have posted last! This upsets me very much! I am the only one to blame, of course, and today I am starting fresh here on LifeWithADane! What have we been up to since our last post??? SO MUCH!!! I cannot begin to list all of the happening that have occurred here but the biggest and best thing to happen was that Charles and I got MARRIED!!!! April 13th 2013 we started our lives together as a married couple! We are beyond happy and feel so completely blessed to have had so many people that care and love us so much! I think the two of us were actually overwhelmed by the generosity we have been shown. We love our families so much and cannot fathom how to begin to thank them all!
I wanted to make sure that our wedding and reception was something that stood out in people's minds. Our minister was amazing and wrote the most wonderful vows for us. She will forever remain in our minds as the woman who helped us combine our lives into one. Once the ceremony was over we went outside to sign the documents and have a little mini celebration! Charles' and I had given our groomsmen superhero T-shirts and matching pins as their gift. I had them all take off their formal wear so that when we went inside it would be party time! When we were announced in we danced all the way down the aisle and the party continued from there! For our first dance we had our dj make a mix and it was awesome! We just got down on the dance floor and everyone loved it! We had the reception that we had always wanted!
Once the wedding had concluded, Charles and I headed back to our hotel. Our bridesmaids and some groomsmen came to our room for a few after party drinks. Our reception actually ended pretty early because all of Charles' family is from out of town and were so exhausted. At first I was upset...thinking that for some reason this meant our reception wasn't a success. I have been reassured otherwise from friends and family who have raved about everything from the food to the dancing! We are so glad that the wedding was such a hit and amazed that it went so quickly! After planning a wedding for over a year it is astounding how fast that day goes by! I hope to post lots of pictures as I get them!
