Meet Malcolm

I have a very special little guy to introduce to you today.

His name is Malcolm, and he is the newest member of our little family. He’s almost five months old, and just the sweetest thing. Jimmy and I adopted him on September 9th, and since then he has brought so much joy to our home.

He’s curious, playful, and likes to snuggle. He purrs almost nonstop. We’re convinced he has a motor inside his belly.

I have to admit, I haven’t been able to get much done lately. I just want to hang out with this little dude all. the. time.

Lola and Malcolm are getting along well!

They’re both very interested in each other, and Lola is especially interested in trying to eat Malcolm’s food and litter. I can’t wait for the day I catch them cuddling together. (Edited to add: I caught them cuddling a few months later!)

Malcolm likes
-Eating wet food and treats
-Drinking from Lola’s water dish
-The toilet
-Chasing ping pong balls around the house

Malcolm dislikes
-Being taken off the kitchen counters
-Being taken off the kitchen table
-Not being allowed to eat mine and Jimmy’s food

We adopted him from Animal Friends, if any Pittsburgh readers are interested. We had a great experience, and I’d recommend it to anyone local that’s looking to adopt a cat or dog.

Okay, you guys, I can’t stop with the vlogs. I’m having way too much fun making them, so I just had to make a little video introducing Malcolm 🙂

Wedding Dress Shopping

On Saturday, Hannah picked out her wedding dress! My family and Josh’s (Hannah’s fiancé) family drove to Sharon, PA to The Winner, which is a three-floor gown store.

The Winner also happened to have a men’s lounge, so that’s where all the guys, except my dad and Hannah’s future father-in-law, went to hang out and watch TV while the rest of us helped the bride-to-be pick out her dress.

Hannah and I drove separately and thought it was funny that we both showed up wearing almost the same outfit.

We all had a lovely time watching Hannah try on beautiful wedding dresses. The intricate details in every gown never cease to amaze me. Here are a few of the dresses she tried on, but didn’t end up choosing.

Hannah looked amazing in every single dress, and I’m pretty sure each of us had a different favorite dress on her, ha!

There were definitely a few tears shed–mostly by the parents. Hannah and Josh are both the youngest in their families, so I think it’s a bit emotional for the parents of the bride and groom!

Hannah picked out an absolutely stunning wedding dress, and I can’t wait to see her wear it again in June. Saturday was such a wonderful, happy day.

I decided to film a vlog so I’m able to look back on the special day it in the future!

P.S. Mine and Jimmy’s newest family member makes an appearance at the end of the vlog. I can’t wait to officially introduce him soon!
