What an adventure!

So The Middle Brother and his beautiful bride were married on Saturday (beautiful wedding...BTW...she looked like a princess and he couldn't have looked more happy. More on that later). Sunday they left for the honeymoon and I now have their two doggies at my house. No problem-just two more dogs to feed, right? WRONG! The older dog keeps "marking" in my house, the cats are locked up in the spare bedroom and did their "business" on the rug in three places and today the two dogs got out of the yard and only one returned. I realized that I was missing the little one and began looking in every nook and cranny. No pup. I call my mom (a bit panicked) and my stepdad comes over to help me comb the neighborhood. I travel the entire place for about 2 hours looking for this little guy asking everyone if they have seen him, talking to neighbors, putting an ad on craigslist and finally get back in the car to drive to my brother's house-praying that someone has found him and called the number on his tag. About halfway there I think "I should call Animal Control." Somehow I end up on the phone with the police dispatch. She's really nice, takes his info and mine and says she'll have AC call me. Five minutes later I get a call and they have him!!!!!! I just kept praisin' the Lord! So $33 bucks later and we're all home safe and sound. All three pups are passed out on the tile. Let's hope they just stay there.

My Very First Post

Welcome to my Happy-Nest! It's an extension of my home...my real happy nest! My happy nest is usually filled with chaos from the baby fussing, the toddler exploring, the cats meowing or the dogs barking but it's our chaos and it makes up our family. :) Initially I planned on blogging with all sorts of themes and categories but I can barely sing my ABCs anymore (and I spend a lot of time singing them each day), so really this blog is so that I'll have some place to direct all my friends and family when they ask me for the recipe. Hope you find something to like!
