So, we’ve been talking about getting a puppy for a while now. Over a breakfast during a visit to Des Moines to see family, we discovered a Labradinger. If you’re not familiar with what a Labradigner is, well, it’s a designer dog - half English Springer Spaniel and half Labrador Retriever. Meredith grew up with an English Springer Spaniel and I grew up with a Yellow Labrador. We thought “Wow! How could it get any better than this?!” Well, it seems that Labradingers are more popular in the United Kingdom than the United States. I guess we should have brought one back from our trip to London a month or so ago. Anyway, we’ve decided to go for a Chocolate Lab. And we’re super excited!

Born on June 17th, 2008, 8 Chocolate Lab puppies came into this world - 6 girls and 2 boys. We took a trip out to the breeder near take a look. If you’ve ever been puppy shopping before, you know exactly how hard it is to not walk away with one that first time you see them. I mean, does it get any cuter than this…

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to try another career? What if there was a “try before you buy” career option? Well, I came across Vocatation Vacations in an article in the latest Springwise newsletter, and it seems to allow you to do just that. For a nominal fee, the service allows folks to take a vacation and gain an insightful experience at the same time. The concept is like an internship packed into the course of a handful of days. I’m not saying that you should drop that idea of laying around on a white sandy beach all together, but maybe, just maybe, Vocation Vacations has an interesting concept going for them. I mean, I would certainly want to be a General Manager of a baseball team… but I don’t think I’m going to replace Jim Hendry anytime in the near future.

I couldn’t think of a better topic for the first post to my new blog than the tagline I tend to live by: “Work hard. Play harder. Live well.” It’s really a very simple statement, and you’ve probably heard something similar to it before, but it’s one that describes me as a person and my perspective on life.
