dispatches from quilt city

Two is better one?

Well people are starting to complain so I suppose it's time for a new post. Although, everyone might want to get used to sparse posting as we are entering a very exciting but stressful period. In the next six months, one of will graduate from law school, one of us will enter law school. One of us will leave our first real job and the other will start their first real job. Nicholas will take the biggest test of his life. We will both be in a wedding a piece. We will be moving from North Carolina to Washington, D.C. where we will buy a house and a car. It's a darn good thing we just went on vacation. (We had a lovely time by the way)

On top of everything else, we (well mainly me) are considering getting another dog. This is the primarily the result the vacation Maggie had while we were in Wilmington. My wonderful boss, Karen, agreed to keep her. Karen has two dogs, Rudy and Haley, who weigh about 60lbs apiece. You would think our own little 12lb dog would be frightened or anxious but oh no! Maggie can definitely run with the big dogs. Karen said she ran and romped with Rudy for hours on end until Rudy finally gave up in exhaustion. And she is the same way at the dog park. She runs and chases other dogs and just has a grand old time. Being the lazy jerks that we are, we could never give her the physical exercise and fun another dog could. So there it is...now I'll just set back and let the warnings come from my mother and grandmother who didn't even want me to get Maggie. I wonder if this is the same reasoning people use when having more kids?
