I love my dogs

I absolutely love my dogs. On Friday morning I was not so in love with Maya and her explosive diarrhea, but after we took her to the vet, she's been better. This weekend Murad is out of town visiting his daughter, so Maya and Sam have kept me company. Maya slept in the bed with me the first night he was gone. She even slept on his side of the bed. Last night Sam cuddled up with me. It's weird because they usually sleep under the bed, so I guess they took turns keeping me company!

They've kind of adopted my laid back personality this weekend. Usually they are up and running around with Daddy (Murad). This weekend we chilled and watched a ton of TV. I also did a lot of cleaning! Our apartment was a huge mess, especially after a lot of explosive diarrhea. However, Murad did a lot of the cleaning with that when he rented a steamer.

Well Murad and I decided to hold off on a house until after the wedding. Our lease is almost up and we have done no house hunting. Plus, we'd like to have a little more in savings. So, we're going to renew our lease and take our time searching for a house.

And back to the wedding. So, we visited City Place and it just wasn't what we're looking for at all. The $11,000 room with the downtown Dallas view was just too dark and drab. Our colors are champagne and periwinkle, so dark wood paneling and olive drapes will not go well at all. The other room was too big for our wedding size and the last two rooms that were in our price range were hideous. One was a glorified cafeteria and the other one had no windows.

So we're back to the drawing board. Dallas weddings are so expensive! We found a couple other venues that we're going to visit. One is in downtown Dallas. It has a high rental fee ($5000), but you can bring in your own caterer and alcohol which will save us a ton of money! It has a beautiful view of downtown Dallas and the ballroom is in a renovated old warehouse. The other one we're looking at is in Addison. It's a conference center that has beautiful windows. Another high rental fee ($3000). I'm glad I'm only doing this once!
