My standard labradoodle Indio is two years old this month! I can’t believe how fast time has flown by. We gave him a birthday “cake” last year and he loved it so much so we got him another one this year to celebrate. He is such a funny guy… a little naughty at times, but he always makes us laugh and is a huge part of our little family now!

Schyler, my boyfriend of 7 years, proposed to me on our recent trip to New York City at the beautiful Bethesda Fountain in Central Park! My sister spent Christmas with us in Pittsburgh and came with us on the trip where she was going to be staying to meet her boyfriend and his family in New Jersey. It worked out perfectly because Schyler was able to coordinate with her to capture the moment!

I can’t believe it’s been almost a year that Indio has been in our lives! We adopted Indio from Forevergreen Farm Labradoodles when he was 2 months old. He was my dream puppy and has made me the happiest dog mom (besides a little naughtiness ;P). I wanted to celebrate his first birthday by sharing some photos of him throughout the year. It’s crazy to see how much hew grew every month!

I can’t believe it’s been a month since our big move across the country to Nashville! In some ways it seems like its been longer than that, but it also seems like the time has flown by. We are absolutely loving Music City so far and I can’t wait to continue exploring the area! The main reason Schyler and I decided to move from Portland to Nashville was so that we could start saving for a home. The cost of living in general and the cost of homes is much less expensive here so we will be able to buy a home much sooner then we would have back in the PNW. I would love to start a family within the next few years and I can’t wait to start the next chapter of our life!

I’m so excited to announce that we are MOVING TO NASHVILLE! Schyler and I have lived in Portland, OR for about 4 years, two of which my sister Rocio lived with us. Recently, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of becoming an actress! We had been going back and forth for awhile now on whether or not we should stay in Portland or if we should move. Portland is such a cool city and there is so much we love about it but unfortunately for us, the cons outweighed the pros.

As a new dog mom to a 10 week old puppy, I need all the help I can get! That’s when Mr. Coffee comes to the rescue. I love that the Mr. CoffeeĀ® Easy Measure 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker is so easy to use and makes consistently good cups of coffee. We are currently crate/potty training Indio so he has to be taken out 3-5 times a night. Needless to say, I have been very sleep deprived! A strong cup of coffee in the morning has been a lifesaver.

When I first graduated high school, I didn’t know a lot about credit or if I even had a credit score! It wasn’t until a few years later when I moved to Oregon to attend University and had to find an apartment that I even started to think about credit! The landlord of the apartment I was looking to move in to asked what my credit score was. I had no idea so I immediately went in to my bank to speak to someone about it.
