Sadie comes home & Our soon-to-be home in PGH

It's been an amazingly successful and full week. We were in Pittsburgh for five days. We stayed with neat folks, met some new friends, bought this neat little house (3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths in an up-and-coming eccentric city neighborhood), reconnected with Ryan's friend Peter from the cross-country bike tour (who actually lives two blocks from where we'll live), and I attended a general internal medicine conference that gave me an excitement for things ahead. We also enjoyed seeing my parents on the going and return trips as well. We'll move into our new house in PGH on May 28. We can't wait.

We also finally were able to adopt Sadie today. She's now 9 weeks old, which we feel is about 2 years old in people years. She whined a bit on the way home, but thankfully kept her doggie treats down.

After two quick accidents in the living room, she is now quite content in the kitchen. She's not a fan of the lease, but is doing ok with her collar. It's great to have her with us and this will be a great chance for Ryan's patience in all things to show through!
