Ah! Time to catch up! I've been so busy lately, that my blog has been neglected. But, I'm back and ready to catch up. About three weeks ago, I went to Augusta, GA to have my reporter portfolio tape made. The one from college wasn't great quality, and let's face it, I made it 4 years ago. It needed to be updated. I have to say, I'm pretty proud of it. The company, Talentapes, did a great job. To see it, go to www.talentapes.com/jenniferheckman (please ignore the picture of me, it was taken from the video and a better one will be up there as soon as I'm back to my own computer and send them one).
2 weeks ago, Bryan and I were going through the paper looking at the dog classifieds. He really wants to get a big dog like a german shepherd or a husky. There was an ad for a puppy expo at the VFW Hall, se we went. It was a few breeders that had puppies for sale. Well, they were all small dogs and Bryan loves yorkies but he says he'd only get one if it were socially acceptable for a man to have one. Anyway, we're looking abd I have no intention of getting a dog. I've always wanted to get Libby a friend, but I didn't plan on it any time soon. Bryan holds up this little dog and says, "Look, he looks like a Muppet!" Well, it wasn't long before the Muppet was on my lap on the way home. He's a maltese/yorkie mix. They cal it a morkie, but I can't bring myself to say that. Anyway, meet Marty.
He's pretty darn cute. He's 5 months, and only 2 pounds. I don't think he'll get much bigger. Of course, I had to bring him with me to Colorado because Bryan's watching Libby and I didn't think it was fair for him to have to house train Marty while I was gone. My dad has said repeatedly, that he should just stay with them. Yeah, because they need 5 dogs in their house.
Today, I head back to Knoxville. I've been in Colorado almost a week and the week before I was in MS with Bryan. I haven't been at my apartment in 2 weeks. I'm ready to get home.
Today, I'm thankful for all our veterans.
