get lost.

today, james and i took helix for a nice long walk. we were going along one of the trails by my house, and we weren't really sure where we ended up or how to get back without turning right around. neither of us are big fans of just turning back around, so james said "lets just get lost." i'm so glad we did. it was really fun finding new trails, and we ended up making it back into my neighborhood from the total opposite direction that we left.

helix loved the little adventure too. at one point, two dogs were barking at him from their yard and he crouched down in the grass like he usually does when he wants to kind of spy on a situation, then he just darted off and jumped into the lake! he got about a quarter of the way out and then turned around and came back. i was laughing so hard. james and i couldn't believe he just jumped into the water the way he did. he can swim, but i don't think he really enjoys it. he hates getting a bath or getting hosed off [like he did as soon as we got home] so it was just really funny that he thought getting to those two dogs was worth getting wet. & & even more funny that he changed his mind. :]

in other news, i really want to go to this class. maria grace is one of my favorite scrapbookers, and i just think it would be so fun to take a class from her. plus, i've never been to that store and have heard that it's pretty amazing. plus, i have two exams next week, so it would be a good way to recover. ha. we'll see if i can make it happen or not.

ok. better get to the homework that i've been putting off. ack. happy april!
