We Have A Blind Puppy

Yes, you feel bad, don't you? The sweet little baby chihuahua we bought cannot see! We took him to the vet for a check-up and his second set of shots and asked the vet about our concern with Benny's sight. Benny had been running into things and wouldn't follow toys or anything with his eyes, but we though maybe he was just unobservant. The vet did a few tests and confirmed that he was not visually responding to anything. I suppose it is a bit funny, because now we know why he uses his paws to feel everything.

We are still waiting on the reply from Thunderbird to hear if Matt got accepted. The anticipation is getting more thick because we have less time to act once we do receive a response. It will be exciting to find out and we sure hope the answer is yes!

My parents moved to Heber last week from Washington state. It was a very long move for them but we got them unpacked and fairly settled in no time at all. Having parents near is always such a comfort and we are extremely happy to have them here with us.

Matt's birthday was on Sunday, June 1st along with Father's Day. He got some awesome gifts (thanks to me ;) ). He finally got the black Air Force 1's he has wanted since he was 13 or something. The sales guy who sold them to me was hilarious. He told me that Air Force 1's are so special that they are in their own hall of fame category of shoes and that he could tell me facts about them for hours. I did not know that people were so passionate about shoes--I thought that kind of obsession was reserved for girls who believe in retail therapy and would rather skip a week's worth of meals for the cause of shopping. Anyway, I made a layered chocolate cake with sprinkles on Saturday and got him a shirt also. On Sunday we went to Heber to celebrate everything and we had a nice dinner and ice cream cake for Matt. He received lovely new scriptures and a movie from the whole family. Overall, I would say it all went over very well.
