Quick updates

I know I haven't updated lately so wanted to post a few quick tidbits.

1) Everything with the house is moving along on schedule. We've changed our closing date to June 12th, the inspection is done and we've reached agreement on who's fixing what. The next step is the appraisal. So far we haven't hit any major issues, but we're still a bit wary, I think.

2) Tuesday is still healing - we hope nicely. She has proved to be nearly impossible to keep down. We can't wait to get approval to start taking her on longer than 10 minute walks and getting her back to the dog park. She doesn't seem to be in any pain and has no qualms about running, jumping, wrestling, etc. I'm very concerned that when we take her in to get follow-up x-rays next week we're going to learn that she hasn't healed well. Irie (other than her obsession with eating the trunk of the tree out back and rolling in smelly stuff) is doing great.

3) Ryan and I spent this past weekend finally enjoying some of what St. Louis has to offer. Even though we've been here several months now, we just haven't felt like we've really had the chance to do fun St. Louis stuff. This weekend we checked out a local piano bar, the Botanical Gardens with Carl, Kathleen and Lily, a neighborhood restaurant with a great patio and the zoo. It was a very nice (and relaxing) weekend. All of our upcoming weekends are booked until we close on the house so it was really great to be able to just kick back this weekend.
