1st Anniversary

One year ago today we brought Sophie home... we made it through our first year together! Looking back, the good has outweighed the bad (by far!) so I certainly can't complain. The first 2 weeks were torture (Sophie didn't really know who we were or what we wanted, and we kept thinking "what have we done?!"). The next 6 weeks were better, but still somewhat stressful. Finally, by October, we'd all settled into a routine! Ever since then we've commented to each other (multiple times) how thankful we are that we got her. She has such a sweet disposition and brings so much joy to our home. We're looking forward to many more years together!

It's been 4 weeks since I posted about the garden and (despite the heat wave we've experienced lately) things have been going well! The corn is taller than me (well, some of it), the peppers are starting to come out and we've even got some cantaloupes showing up!
