I’ve been hard at work staying up late and working on several freelance projects including one for Natalie’s company Quality Health and it was nice to wake up and take my mind away from all that for the day. We’re back at home now taking a break before we head out to a friend’s birthday party later tonight. Peanut is literally passed out.

Natalie and Peanut in the CityPeanut has been getting a bunch of follows on his Twitter account lately. It’s odd and I’m extremely jealous. I guess no one wants to follow a guy who tweets about work all the time and instead prefers to read Peanut’s day-to-day deep thoughts.

A side project that I’ve been working on during my free time is learning how to put together a Facebook application. Once I digress the structure, Peanut in one way or another will be my first my first test-dummy.

She's the new mom in his life, yet he's still testing her in every way possible. Natalie took it upon herself to spend as much time with him as possible so that he'd get more adjusted to her without me in the picture. In fact as I write this they're off in the dog run playing around. My end of the bargain however is getting back in shape. I have to start jogging more often and ultimately stop smoking.]]> Peanut at homeNatalie and Peanut have an odd relationship.

I’ve quit several times in the past, always on my own terms and a weird mix of stress and curiosity always brought me back. This time around however, I’ll use a mix of running and good healthy eating to keep me off. I’m not giving up red meat, mashed potatoes, and coffee ice cream though.

This morning I dropped Peanut off at the vet for his teeth surgery. I checked in on him in the afternoon and according to the vet everything went well. I couldn't be happier only because everything with him has been going so well as of late and getting his teeth checked up was a huge milestone on the long list that Natalie and I have been putting together.]]> Peanut GraffitiManaging a dog, a fiancée, and a job is not easy but I’m getting it done.

Natalie and PeanutI picked Peanut off after work and brought him home only to see him fall sound asleep in his doggy bed. Mission accomplished. I can get back to brain-storming and sketching out some ideas for Natalie’s and I’s wedding.

Last night I registered our official wedding domain NatalieandSimon.com. Being a designer, and working with various brands at Tisha Creative, it’s only natural that Natalie and I brand our own wedding. I’m thinking of preparing our site as a blog for now and eventually integrating all of our wedding materials onto it; Wedding registry, invites, menu, driving directions etc… the basics. Why stop there though? or perhaps why not utilize the site in a more innovative manner.

Natalie at BeachWe still have plenty of time since we haven’t established a date yet. Peanut’s new doggy breath takes me back to when he was a puppy. I should probably get my own teeth checked out. I wish money grew on trees.
