Love At First Sight and Snowshoeing :)

Sometimes love comes unexpectedly.........in furry bundles.........and hits you smack dab in your heart!

Such a thing happened to us this week :)

Saturday night DJ and Ben were running some errands when Ben called..........

"Mom, you guys need to come to Petsmart right now."

"Why?"

"You just need to come.......there's this dog"

As we drove to Petsmart I already knew it was a done deal. I had no idea what kind of dog it was but the girls and I looked at each other and said "We're bringing this dog home."

Walking into Petsmart I caught sight of the dog Ben had on a leash and it was all I could do to keep my heart from melting all over the floor!

I said "We'll take him!"

Ben said " His name is Max"

I said "We'll really take him"

Ben said "If he doesn't get adopted this weekend he's going to the pound"

I said "Well, for crying out loud, where's the paperwork? Let's get this show on the road!"

We are all in love with Max. He's a cuddler and he adores Koda :) I wouldn't say Koda adores Max but he tolerates him nicely. Max is just under a year old and is a terrier mix.

Heather, Erin and I went snowshoeing yesterday and Max loves the snow just like Koda does. He kept up with Koda all day. They both crashed hard when we got home!

His name is.........MAX!

Max.........SO loveable :)

Over the side of the road.....looks like a piece of art

I love Snowbasin

Pretty from any view

And this view

A little breezy at the top

Majestic......plain and simple

I'm always fascinated with the shadows on the snow :)

What a beautiful day up at Snowbasin yesterday! The snow is melting fast though. I have mixed feelings about that. I love spring and all the beauty it brings here to the Wasatch Mountains but I've really enjoyed snowshoeing too.

Our group of ladies has decided to keep our Thursday outings going year round. When we can't snowshoe anymore we'll hike, bike or canoe/kayak. It's been such a blessing to have this group of girlfriends who all love to be out in nature as much as I do!! God's handiwork is so evident as we wander these beautiful mountains!

"Oh Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!"
