Booked!

 It's on the mister's bucket list to attend a Sunday round of every major golf tournament... and we knocked out two by attending the Sunday rounds of the US Open at Pinehurst and PGA Championship at Valhalla this year.

We've also been itching to get back to Europe so when I checked my email on the morning of Nov. 6 to discover some great news - that tickets to the 2015 British Open went on sale - I knew I had to jump on the opportunity to purchase them as the start to our #eurotrip2015 planning!


As of right now, our plan is to spend some time in the UK, then head over to Denmark since it will have been five years since I studied abroad in Copenhagen! 

Traveling is important to both of us and Europe will always hold a special place in our hearts since we got engaged in Zurich in 2012. Can't wait to keep planning and enjoy this trip next summer! :)

Muggsy update!

Muggsy has been in our family for a little under two months now and we are adjusting to our new lifestyle of pup-parents! We have certainly had to adjust our schedule - T is coming home at lunch to let him out and I'm adjusting my schedule (it is a little more flexible than T's) by working from home on Fridays or at the very least, working from home in the afternoons - We hope that this will be a little less rigid when Muggsy is around 6 months old and his bladder is fully grown. Gone are the days of carefree happy hours and after-work gym sessions - but I don't think we'd change anything in our lives! Here are a few pictures from early October...

My fave picture - adorable MM exhausted after his first set of shots

A friend suggested that we enroll our little guy in "Puppy Preschool" to help teach him basic commands and socialize him with other cute pups, ages 8 weeks to 6 months old. Since I have never had a puppy and knew I'd be doing most of the training at night (due to T's late work hours) I knew this was something we should check out and I am so glad that we did this - it's a big time commitment but I think what we've learned in the classes will absolutely help us in the long run! Muggsy is a pro at sit, park it (going to his crate) and slowing but surely learning down and come here.

While I write on this cold and rainy Monday night, Muggsy is curled up next to me on the couch and is definitely on the way to becoming a lap-loving and cuddly pup. I have so many other pictures I want to share - but of course I'm having trouble downloading them from my macbook... so be on the lookout for another post with more pup pictures soon!
