After 9 months of trying to have another baby we decided that maybe adoption was the way to go. We were getting so tired from stress of the whole thing and so we filled out some applications and was turned down by some but we finally came across a place that would accept us...the pound!! We cruised the many pounds here in our area and found our Molly. She's a little Shi-tzu who is 1 year old and very calm. For those who remember Callie our German Shepherd...she's compeletly the opposite. She's a nice little lap dog who seems to be anywhere we are. She loves to sleep in our room with us (she would like to be up on the bed but until she's been bathed...no way!)and she seems to have been previously potty trainned so she's doing really well with that. She loves people and other dogs, going for walks, and loves to be out in our front yard. She had to be spayed before we could take her home and I guess they thought giving her a bath before the surgery was asking too much. She was there in the pound for a little over a week when we found her so she's a bit dirty and ungroomed and we are not going to be able to get her groomed for two weeks since she just had her surgery, but I couldn't wait to post her up on the blog for everyone to see. We took the clippers to her this morning to trim her fur because it's getting too long and it's driving her (and my allergies)nuts. So this is our Molly as of now. She will look much better after she gets a bath and groomed.

Would you feel weird?
This last week we just found out that the man who we bought our house from misses the neighborhood so much that he wants to buy the home across the street from us that will be up for sale soon(the woman passed away). Some people in our neighborhood have made comments like "oh that will be nice if he buys the house", but Daniel and I are kind of totally against it! The man is kind of wierd (we think). He's a retired LA city fireman so at first we were excited because after he found out Daniel was working for Santa Ana Fire he pretty much told us if we wanted the house he wouldn't take any other offers. But the more we learned about the man, the weirder he seems. Not just because of his purple jeans he wore the first time I came to look at the house or the pink/magenta pair of jeans he wore the second time I saw him at the house! Or the crazy kitchen he and his wife created and were so proud of when he showed it to me. But within 5-6 months of him moving to Texas he came back to visit California and made a stop by the neighborhood, of course. Daniel happened to be outside doing something and he came over to Daniel and made comments on the landscaping we had changed and made some more comments on the house and stuff that he did to it that he's already told us like 3-4 times! Daniel felt kind of weird. We'll since then he's stopped by at least 2-3 more times (in the past 2 1/2 years we've been in the house) to the neighborhood and tells the neighbors how much he regrets moving and wants to move back. Okay so he obviously hasn't moved on with his life. The older woman that lives across the street passed away a couple of weeks ago which wasn't a surprise to most of us because she was pretty old and had to be put into a home, but it was quite a surprise to hear that her niece who was in charge of her estate was going to get in touch with Gary, the guy we bought our home from to see if he wants it! Now would any of you feel weird if that happened to you?? I am just wondering if we are weird for feeling this way. He's retired so he'd be home all of the time and we'd be seeing him everyday! I guess if he does end up moving back I can ask him if he wants his pink stove back since I hate that thing!!!
