Abe

Abe is our family dog. He is a Yorkie/Poodle mixture. He really fits our laid-back lifestyle. His hobby is sleeping. We say that he is the anti-dog. He hates playing outside, and doesn't like to share his toys with anyone. He is the friendliest dog that we have ever met, though. He will go up to anyone and automatically start trying to give them kisses. He is happiest when he is sitting on someone's lap. We got him right after we moved into our first place, which was around August of 2006. He has a bad habit of snorting when he gets excited, so whenever he meets someone new, he snorts at them.

Stats:

DOB: April 6, 2006

Favorite Toy: Lambo the stuffed lamb (at this moment)

Favorite Food: Science Diet for Senior Dogs (don't ask)

Favorite Place: Under the bed

Favorite Friends: Dazey and Elmo...and anyone else that he comes across

Our Home

This is our first (and hopefully last) home. We lived in an apartment when we first were married, but realized very quickly that apartment life wasn't for us. We were married in November 2006, and had the house in April 2007, if that illustrates how much we were not apartment people.

After moving from a third floor apartment, we both promised that we wouldn't move again for a very very long time, if ever. We started our search in Carrollton, but just weren't finding anything. I was starting to get frustrated, but on a whim, Noom moved our search to Allen. It didn't take long before we found this house and fell in love with it. We are still having fun making it our own, and having a blast adding our personal touches to it.

The front yard has been our pet project since we moved in. Below are a couple of pictures of what we had to work with when we first got here. It wasn't pretty, but we both wanted to try out our green thumb. Noom realized very quickly that he is a natural at gardening. I, on, the other hand, do have a green thumb, but it points downward. I still like to look outside and admire the view, though. The picture at the top of the page is what our yard looks like now. Below left is the first look we had of our house. The picture to the right is what the yard looked like before our massive landscaping undertaking.
