The End of Summer

This was our last full week of our little summer break, and we had some fun little adventures! Our week was filled with time spent spoiling Zoe, preparing for school, organizing the house, and meeting up with friends. It was also Jake's first week back at work after our vacation, so he was getting back into the swing of things there. Zoe gets so excited when he comes home from work, it's too cute! She jumps all over him and dances around the house with excitement. We love it!

Tuesday we FINALLY got Zoe to sleep in her own bed! After a few nights of her sleeping in our bed with us, she managed to sleep in her own bed under the desk in our bedroom all through the night. We're such proud puppy parents!

Thursday I finally got to meet my friend Janae since she's here in Rexburg for school! It was so great to see her and talk with her. We discovered pretty quickly that if we're in a room together you better watch out because neither of us will be able to shut up haha! That evening Jake and I took Zoe on a walk as usual, and she saw a GIANT black dog tied up near the back of our apartment complex. The fur on the back of her neck stood up and she really started yipping and going crazy! It was funny to us because Zoe is a very calm, quiet little doggie. To see her get so defensive like that was definitely a big change!

Friday was the official beginning of Move-In Weekend here in Rexburg, which basically means that the entire city is like a mall on Black Friday. Normally I try not to leave the house at all because the traffic is horrendous, but I wanted to help my little freshmen friends adjust to being away at school so I took my friend Kyrsten to Walmart and Albertsons and Saturday I showed my friend Melly around BYU-I's campus. I braved the traffic and survived!

Saturday evening Jake and I gave Zoe her first bath! She was very calm and cooperative, although we could tell that she definitely did NOT like being bathed. Watching her run around the apartment afterwards doing a little "I'm clean!" Dance had us both laughing. We love our little furbaby.

Sunday was our official TS meet-up for the semester! We've been planning this for a few weeks, gathering info from everyone who was going to be up here for school and setting up carpools for the kids that don't have transportation. It was so great to finally get to meet some of the people I've really grown to love after the past year or so!
