Sadie Cakes

So when we moved to Nebraska, and I did not have a job, we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to get what I we always wanted.  A puppy.  Meet Sadie Cakes Zaleski.

This was a video from the first day we got her.  How cute is she?!

Sadie is now 27 weeks old, and I love her even though she eats everything including my rug and her own feces.

6 months and 2 moves later...

Wow...I am not good at keeping up with things!  So, in the last 6 months?! (really...that is soooo bad!), D and I have moved.  Twice.  Yep...we left Newfoundland and drove around 3,100 miles back to the good ol' USA!  This included the 10 hours to get the ferry, and the 8 hour ferry ride. Take a peek at some of the sight seeing we did along the way...

Our room on the ferry.  It left around midnight from Newfoundland, and we made
landfall around 8 am in Nova Scotia. The ferry was GINORMOUS.  It had numerous floors full of cars and semis, and then plenty of cabins for passengers.  It was our first "cruise"...

Have you ever heard the song "King of the Road" by Roger Miller?  In that song he
says, "Third boxcar, midnight train, destination, Bangor, Maine".  Yep...that was
our destination after we got after the ferry.  Stephen King is actually from Bangor,
Maine, and this is his creepy house.

Our next stop was in Boston.  We stayed here for 2 days.  The first day we walked the Freedom
Trail, and took in some night life at a local pub.  We also ate at the Union Oyster House,
which is the oldest restaurant in Boston, and the restaurant with the longest continuous
service in the United States.  Also, the Red Sox were in town so we stopped by Fenway
 for a game.  I loved Boston, and D and I will definitely go back. 

Our last stop before D's hometown in Indiana was Niagara Falls.  We stayed on the America side,
but would not recommend it.  The Canadian side has so much more to offer, and it is so much
nicer.  Also, the view of the falls is a lot better if you do not plan to take the Maid of the Mist
tour, which we did, and it was well worth it.  Check out the amazing pictures D took!  

 After New York, we went to Indiana for a few days to rest at D's parent's home.  We went jetskiing, hung out at his parent's pool, and just hung out...not in a vehicle!  Amazing!  We made it to Omaha on a Friday, and moved into our corporate apartment Saturday morning...and I took D to his first Husker game Saturday night.

You think that would be it...we could settle down, and just chill, buttttt we went to visit my family for a few days in "western (but really central)" Nebraska.  My car and our TV were there...definite necessities in order to function in an actual city.

The Moore family goes skeet shooting in the middle of a field to bond as a family.
Cue the redneck jokes...

We finally made it back to Omaha, Dan started work, I volunteered at a nearby school till I got hired as a substitute, we played co-ed soccer and sucked, annnnnnnnddd we got a puppy (next post!).

So blessed that we got have so many adventures and experiences on the way to our new home.  Now you might have noticed earlier I said we have moved twice...yep...that was not a typo.  In January, we moved to Sherwood Park, Alberta, where we are currently residing.  However, that is another post for another day...hopefully not 6 months later!

Wedding Websites

Here are some websites that are making this wedding planning a lot easier.

Postable - Once you create your own address book, all you have to do is send this link to friends and family.   They enter their information, and wala...you click the button that says export, and it gives you several options...my personal fav is the Avery labels option.  Easy.  Plus, if you have guests that do not have a spouse, you get some pretty humorous responses...my favorite was Ms. Notquite Sureyet.  I went back and added Guest in the spouse information for those people.

The Knot - Obvious, I know.  At times, this website has TOO much information.

Pinterest - A continued obsession.  A great way to get inspiration for the upcoming nuptials.

Myregistry.com -  This website makes creating and maintaining your registry so easy.  You have access to a lot of stores on one website, then it makes one registry for you!  We went to Target and Kohl's and did the whole scanning thing, then synced it with the website and added things we wanted that those 2 stores did not have like luggage and tools...  Plus, so convenient for guests to access, AND saves paper!
