Can't Get Enough (and Miscellaneous Items)

I just can't get enough of our house. I'm always so excited to come home to it every day after work, and see it peek around the corner as I drive up. I also like that it is currently the ONLY red house on the block (out of tons of units that are all the same). I like red. Did you know red is my very favorite color? They even gave us a deep red door (the other door colors are green and mustard - SO happy to have red).

Kent and I are settling more and more into the neighborhood; slowly yet surely getting to know people in the ward. We were both called as Ward Missionaries, and it looks like it will be a big calling; but a calling that will give us opportunity to meet and become more involved in the ward.

The bishopric keeps telling me not to worry; that they won't give me a piano calling and it makes me a little sad every time they say it. I like piano callings! And honestly, I've noticed that the Lord gives me the talent/inspiration I need when I need it. If I won't need it, does that mean my piano inspired days are over? I just worry.

Speaking of pianos, the piano hunt is ... coming along. I'm looking at an intriguing offer right now, but I need to play it first. I'm playing it on Friday, so I'll let you know how that goes.

We have gone to the animal shelter 3 times now to look for a new addition to our family. We haven't fallen in love with our little Moxy yet(Moxy is the name Kent came up with for our dog, and I thought it was fabulous). We are looking for a hypoallergenic dog, which are typically smaller dogs, and the more I look at them the more I realize that I am a 'big dog' person. We look in the small dog room, and I get bored (could be because 80%+ are lousy chihauhas). But we walk into the big dog room and I am in love with every single dog (golden retrievers, black labs, german shepherds, huskies --- oh my!). I might be holding off the dog hunt for a while.

Random post, I know. But now you are all caught up!
