That's A Man ~ Jack Ingram

Just wanted to show you our new addition - meet Jack...or Jacks...or Jax (depending on who you ask). He's a chihuahua/shitzu mix and he is the sweetest, most adorable doggie ever. He's about 4 months old and loving life right now. We were back and forth about getting a dog for a long time because our schedules are so crazy right now but Jack seems to be adjusting well to his new life with us. He's potty training really well for having only been with us for a few weeks. I think maybe it's because we take him outside every 5 minutes! Ha! He loves people and other dogs but cats aren't really his thing. Did you know they have some crazy cats @ Petsmart!? I was so proud of him when we took him there as he was the hit of the whole store - later I was informed that apparently all dogs are:( Anyway, I got my first taste of what it's like to show off your "kid" to other people! Jack really is like our kid. In fact, Ryan has even taken to calling him "son."

So...when you get a chance, come over and meet him! When it gets warmer we can hit up the dog parks.

Check him out...better pics to follow!

Loving You, Loving Me ~ Dave Barnes

On March 18th Ryan and I will have been engaged for one year.  The wedding is getting closer (4 months and 6 days according to my cute little iPhone app) and we are getting excited!  I've been trying to take it in strides for fear of becoming bridezilla.  I've created an insanely fabulous spreadsheet that highlights what has been paid for and what will need to be paid for and when. Can you tell I do accounting for a living?  I dreaded the planning process (I know, weird) for so long but now that I am this close I have to admit that I am really getting into it.  It's been a whirlwind for us from moving in together to the engagement to the wedding and we've hardly had time to enjoy it - come on honeymoon!  I've kept everything pretty simple.  Black, pearl, candles - it's very me.  No tutu, no ribbons, no pink.  Although my dress is kind of girly if I do say so myself.  My mom and my mother-in-law (to be) have been so good to me throughout this process.  I am sure the next few months will be the roughest but I have had so much love and support that I am positive it will go well.  I am so in love with my husband to be and I am so honored that he wants to spend his life with me.  That truly makes me the luckiest person alive.  I cannot WAIT to see how our story unfolds...

Welcome to the official beginning of our Jeanette Family Blog!  We look forward to sharing our life lyrics with you!
