I would like to take a moment to brag about my wonderful husband. For my birthday this year he took me into London, made reservations for dinner and took me to the theater to see Les Miserables. How amazing is that? He always tries to make my birthday extra special for me and he always succeeds. I am so thankful to have such a thoughtful husband. I think he lost interest in the musical way before intermission but he sat through it like a champ and never once complain. Then on my birthday he had the day off and he spent the whole day with me. Granted I think he would have much rather done anything else but write papers so it wasn't that hard for him:).

So, on to other news. At the end of the week we are going to have some more visitors. A friend of ours from Kansas is going on a European vacation with her aunt and uncle and they will be staying with us for quite a bit of it. All together they will be here for 6 weeks I believe and coming and going from our house throughout the trip. I think by the end of the summer I am going to feel like we are running a B&B around here:)

Currently Micah's boss is on a cruise for 2 weeks and while they are gone they have asked us to watch their dog! Now most of you know that Micah and I have wanted a dog for quite some time but we just have never felt right about it being gone so much. So this is perfect! We get a dog for 2 weeks and then she goes back home. I am personally LOVING it. She is such a sweet dog and she is so good. It is also very nice to have her around during the day to keep me company. She is really old, I think 14, so she doesn't get around too well. In fact she can't climb our stairs so she just stays on the main floor. Here is a picture of Lucca.
