Drumroll, Please.

After much deliberation, we have decided on a name for our pup--Charlie. We borrowed it from our favorite show, Lost, and our favorite character on that show. We think it fits him well, and it's the only name he would consistently respond to.

Doggy!

We got a dog today. Yes, it's true. He is a four-month-old Great Pyrenees mix. He's really friendly to dogs and people, but hasn't been jumpy or barky (yet!). The only problem is, we're not sure what to name him. We were thinking Sawyer or Jack (we're Lost fans) or Jake, or Max. But we're open to suggestions. Take a look at him and tell us what YOU think!

Raclette Rocks!

This weekend, of course, was Valentine's Day. Our friends, Johnny and Tori, were in town from Montana, so we decided to double date! We pulled out the Raclette grill and had a good ol' time! If you have never experienced a Raclette before, it is a grill you plug in and put on top of your table. You can grill meats, veggies, basically anything you can think of! We made teriyaki chicken, marinated steak, squash, lil' smokies, onions, boiled potatoes, and of course, cheese! Underneath the grill is a spot to put trays with raclette cheese, which smells icky but melts nicely and tastes delicious. We really enjoyed the time with friends and good food! Thanks to the Swiss for this wonderful tradition!

Birthday Bash(es)

My birthday was on January 31, but I am just getting around to sharing the celebration with you guys! Ok, so I'm a procrastinator.
First, my sister and I celebrated our birthdays at St. James Tea Room. It's a fairly new tradition, but we like to go here on our birthday and just enjoy some good tea and gourmet foods, not to mention some quality time together!




On my REAL birthday, Doug totally surprised me! He woke me up that morning (which was almost a bad idea) and had me open my present. He got me a Garmin, since I always get lost. He made me turn it on, and there he had mapped out the whole day! First, we drove to Santa Fe and had a burger at a place we've been itching to go to--Bobcat Bite! It was a totally small, gross-looking place, but it has one of the top three (or something like that) burgers in the U.S. It was really good, but REALLY greasy!








Then we went to Buffalo Thunder, a resort in Santa Fe. It was seriously the nicest hotel I've ever been in! That night, he had me get all dressed up and we went to the restaurant in the hotel that had a really nice chef. All in all, it was a wonderful! Thank you to my awesome husband!
