Getting Squirrely



Yes, we're newlyweds, but NO that is NOT what this post is about. :) This is a family friendly blog people. :) Sheesh...onward... :)

This is a typical ride to the grocery store for us:
"Ooooooo...Brian, look at the squirrel! He's eating an acorn! Hi little squirrel!"

This is a typical walk to the park for us:
"Ooooo...Brian! Squirrel! He's looking at us! Look...look at his cute little face! Hello...you're so cute!"

This is a typical trip to the mailbox for us (yep, we get the mail together...give us a break, we're newlyweds!):
"Oooooooo...Brian! The squirrels are chasing each other. Look how they run! [Insert me doing an idiotic impression of a squirrel, teeth and all]. Go little squirrels, go!"

Yes, being from Utah I am only used to seeing squirrels when I'm camping, and then maybe one or two. But here, oh my! They are EVERYWHERE! And they are so stinkin' cute. So, after obsessing about them every time I've gone outside in the past 4 months, I thought it was time to finally give them an official blog shout out. :) I should've known moving out here would be full of squirrel fun--after all, when I came to visit Brian last November I had quite the friendly little guy stalking me through the National Mall. He would NOT leave, and kept coming right up to me and standing on his little back legs to look. I was trying to figure out a way to cuddle him without getting rabies. Brian was getting a teensy bit jealous. :)


Since I've moved here they've all been a bit more bashful, but I know one day they'll talk back!

We are going squirrel hunting when I come out! Well.... not squirrel hunting but hunting for a squirrel - to befriend of course! One question- why is your jacket only half on in this picture? Was there some squirreling going on on your way to get the squirrel? ;) Not sure I should have said that but I refuse to take it back. I am, as ever, defiant! I have a feeling that is what makes me so loveable :)

You're so funny. I love that post. You sound so happy. That's great. Isn't marriage the best?

Amber...you always make me laugh! Although, I was wondering the same thing as Carly....why is your jacket half on??

Ha ha ha...ok...to avoid people thinking I'm even more scandalous than I actually am, I must come clean about the jacket. No, I was not doing a strip tease for the squirrel. :) To tell you the truth, I don't know what I was doing! I think I must have been in the process of either taking the jacket off, or putting it on when the squirrel began talking to me, and I just got a little side-tracked by his killer good looks! :) I love you all, though. You make me giggle!!
