"So Close So Far"
(by Future of Forestry) ![So Close So Far - Travel II - EP](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_t9I1_JboMjLB88_3VQD7cwvpSt3K0OwtAvKYqaHu9V4Lep6NjITAWtEYY9kNw9-5yK1jzoFC0Sohd0SpMLV1N0vUNaB-_1m7avlRmpOryeepTMfuqH0vMrYzxdk-5MNlc=s0-d)
This week has been super great! I plan on telling y'all more about the mission trip later. Other than that {& sleeping in until 8 or 9 for the past few days!} my week has been pretty chill, but I needed it! I met my friend Sloan for coffee on Thursday, and I picked up my sweet boy from Amy's after that. I hadn't seen him in four days, but I think he would've rather stayed with his friend! :( On Friday, the kids & I met my bloggy friend & her family for lunch!! It was SO good to see her again & meet her boys! :) And tonight we went to a party where our friends revealed the gender of the baby they are having! {SO fun!}
For fear of coming across as one of those freaky dog-obsessed people, I almost didn't post the following. But I really don't think I talk about Pepper so much that I come across that way. Do I? Anyways, my baby puppy turned 5 on Thursday! We usually buy her a "fancy" canned-type meal (rather than the dry food she usually gets) & stick a candle in it. 'Cuz we're weird like that.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV7E7fRliNElcDi2zYd87MvZSqCF-j3-KaCeN_KicFwZsoV2BUxOPCLMQK__XTwLkt7vC3_NCdcss8PCA5EIlb0BGfBin2DQZTUayPRvHhmabmkzzCLkVYzJ8NAzyLQ0qNxzxyQIAlGjk/s640/Peppers5thBday%2520001.jpg)
Sometimes she gets a toy, too...

Then I showed her that another squeaker was still inside, so she destroyed it a little more...

When she was done, she struck her "innocent" pose:

As for today's song, it really is just a guess. We listened to all sorts of randomness from everybody's iPods on the trip, but I'm pretty sure we heard this song the most. Emma requested it several times {referring to it as the "boom ba boom clap clap" song ~ or something along those lines!} & I can understand why she likes it! I had never heard of this band before, but I'm always happy to discover new [good] music. Have you discovered any lately?
I hope you're having a fantastic weekend! ♥
