. . .Oops

Hello all!

Brooke and I have been in New York for 6 months now! Can you believe it? It's been a while since I've posted a blog, so here are some quick status updates. . .
Brooke is doing really well. She is still in marketing at CB Richard Ellis and is finally starting to feel comfortable in her job. Athough, she would rather be fulfilling her passion (having babies... no that's not a joke!) but moving here was something that we decided to do for us, and we couldn't be happier that we did it. Brooke and her sister Nicci, who, for those of you who don't know, lives with her husband just a few doors down, are best friends. They work out together at the gym down the block, they walk the dogs together, shop together, and do everything else best friends do, and they're all the better for it.

Sgt. Pepper, bless him, has been a bit of a pain. He is coming into social maturity, so says the trainer at the leash aggression class we went to, and has been giving us hell by randomly barking at anything on the street. At the class we got some tips on how to decrease that behavior and promote some more acceptable social skills. But other than that, he is our usual sweet loving pup. We have recently taught him a new trick, "bang". Its a trick where you have him sit and then lay and point your finger at him while saying "bang", then he rolls onto his side as if he were just shot dead. Its funny.

My job is going pretty well. Nothing really new on that front. This weekend (10/18) I get to (finally!) collect on a gift Brooke gave me on my last birthday over the summer. My brother in law and I are spending the weekend in Atlantic City! Texas Hold em shall be played for many many hours on this trip. It will be a blast.

Well, sorry that I have failed to keep my monthly commitment to this blog but I will try to do a little better at updating everyone. We love and miss you all!
