Tom bought a house! And a puppy!!

Tom decided a while back that he was going to purchase a house this year... $8000 tax credit, how could you not! So, he'd been casually looking for a good amount of time. Last weekend the two of us went and looked at a few HUD homes and he decided to put a bid on one of them. Well, the first bid didn't go through, but he was the second back-up, so that was exciting. ;) (hopefully you get the sarcasm in that.) With the first house not working out, Tom wasted no time looking for a new home. And he found exactly what he wanted:

It's a 2200-sqft 4bd/2.5ba house in Laveen, AZ. We are both very excited about his first house and we are looking forward to living in it together (someday).



We have been talking about getting a puppy practically since we got together, and when Tom purchased the house the discussion became more serious. We had decided a while back that we wanted a Boston Terrier, and so the search began. We put an ad on craigslist and found a breeder who just had a litter two weeks ago. We knew we wanted a male, and she had just what we were looking for. Because our little Sparky (Go Sun Devils!) is only two weeks old, we can't take him away from his mama yet, but we will get him in about six weeks. Our favorite part of Sparky is the little white tip on his left ear. We can't wait to bring Sparky home!!
