We had a busy last few days! As Derek stated we were illegally storing Watson at the apartment for a few days...no worries we made it out of the apartment without any problems! My dad came up Thursday to bring home a truck load of stuff and good thing he did! He somehow managed to load almost all the big stuff in his truck bed and made it home successfully--he has experience in the moving and packing category, just ask him :-) Dad somehow managed to load the bed, couch, table, 4 chairs, 2 bar stools, a dresser, and some boxes. I am not sure how he did it, it was pretty impressive! I wish I would have captured a picture of this!
The week moved on and packing continued, I almost forgot how much I despised it! I told Derek after he finishes with law school, his job better pay for our packing and moving! My dad, mom, brother Dave, and Mitch came back up on Saturday with two trucks to move the rest of our junk, it is pretty amazing how much stuff two people can collect. We also took Watson on his first outside the home excursion, we went out to eat in Columbia and Watson sat outside with us. We had many visitors and smiles and Watson just couldn't get enough! On Saturday we also made our first married purchase and got a Dyson vacuum! It was very exciting and Derek and I actually couldn't agree who would get to vacuum first. Derek won because I had to work Saturday evening, Derek sent me an e-mail at work and called the vacuum a "transformer". I thought this was pretty entertaining!
Derek got to the point where he just wanted to throw stuff away, needless to say he ended up throwing away some pictures, BUT he ended up dumpster diving and collected them--thank goodness! Sunday rolled on and we shipped Watson into hiding at Derek's brother Mitch's house along with more junk that wouldn't fit into my car. We finished checking out at 10:30 and Derek said goodbye to Columbia. Mitch had a fun time with Watson and we were glad Watson got to meet Mitch before we left. It was also a sad moment because Derek and Mitch said goodbyes until probably Christmas!
Here is a picture of Watson--he was trying to help move :-)
During the move Watson also barked for the first time, I ended up capturing a video of this. I hope you all think it is as entertaining as we do! **The video is not loading I will try again later!
On Sunday when we got home to Washington, Derek's family had a little goodbye BBQ. Tiffany, Mark, and Zack came over to say their goodbyes and to have dinner with us. It was a fun time filled with laughs and much entertainment between Watson and Zack. We had delicious food and were grateful we got to spend some time with family between all the craziness going on in our lives currently. We also managed to slip over to my brother Matt's house and show off Watson to Matt, Sarah, and Sadie. Before Sarah and Sadie made their way back home, they all just loved Watson. But, how can you not? Is he not adorable, maybe I am just biased!
Zack just loved Watson and kept telling him how much he loved the puppy. Zack is missing his shirt because he saw uncle Derek had his shirt off and wanted to be like him :-)
Here is another picture I captured at the BBQ that I think is absolutely adorable. I think I may have to frame this one!
After all the driving and visiting, Watson was a little tired! He loves to sleep on the air conditioning vents.
Derek left yesterday morning and is currently living in an empty apartment, he says North Carolina is absolutely beautiful and that our apartment is pretty nice. He is just a little bored right now and has done a lot of exploring. He will update us soon, once he has Internet hooked up. He has been sending me pictures and everything looks very nice. He has his first law school class outing tomorrow and is very excited about that. I am heading back home to Washington Friday morning to be reunited with my puppy. Grandma and Grandpa Spaunhorst are currently pup sitting since I work midnights this week. Hopefully by the time I get back he will be potty and crate trained--wouldn't that be something! Well that's all for now, more to come soon!
Much love!
Laurie, Derek, and Watson
Oh my gosh, I just can't get over how cute he is!
