Fun with "Albe"

Well our newest addition is home, safe and sound and I think he is feeling pretty comfortable in his new surroundings.



We went back and forth with names for him. We finally decided on Albe after Adam's favorite baseball player from the St. Louis Cardinals Albert Pujols. In my last post I told you that the shelter had named him "Allen", well to make things even more comical we found out his full name there was "Allen Spalding" after the Soap Opera character. They have to name so many animals they use anything for inspiration. We are not really sure what all he is made of, but the vet said he has dachshund in him and some terrier. All we know is that he has a great little personality.

Exciting News at the Knight House

Was it love at first site? Maybe so. Adam and I had gone into "town" (Columbus) on Saturday to shop and decided to go to the movies while we were there. That's where we met our new little addition. The Humane Society calls him "Allen" and he is SOOO cute!!! Adam and I met him before the movie and thought about him throughout the whole movie. We went back "Allen" was still waiting for us. We pulled ourselves away as to not make an emotional decision but couldn't get the little fellow off of our minds all weekend. Well........ we called this morning and "Allen" is going to be our new dog this afternoon at 4 pm. We are working on a new name for the cute fella, "Allen" just doesn't do it for us. We are about to head to Wal-mart to get all of our doggie essentials. We are soo excited about becoming new parents! Look for pictures and a name update really soon!

I'm back!

I am back in action! I have access to the computer again! Adam has been needing to take the computer to the office everyday while he was waiting for his new computer to come in. I have really needed to get some work done, but I guess it has given me a little extra break from working and unfortunately blogging. But now I am back!

We are getting into a nice little routine here in Starkville. After only living here a grand total of 3 days, we had to buy a new washing machine. Then I washed 1 load of clothes in it and it died!!! Thankfully the repairman was able to fix a minor problem and I am back to washing. I have never been so glad to wash clothes as I was on Tuesday!

Adam is doing great as Professor Knight. Check out his new profile on the website

Well stay warm!

Happy Birthday!!!

I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to the best wife in the world. Amy turns the big 27 today. She has been wonderful as we have transitioned from Auburn to Miss. State. She helped me decorate my office and has done a wonderful job setting up our house, even though she won't let me put anything sports related in the living room!! Not even Brett Favre. But, I still love you Amy!!

We made it!

After a whirlwind holiday, spent in Hattiesburg and Birmingham we headed back to Auburn to finish packing and get ready for the moving truck to get there. Lets just say we had a LOT of stuff. The moving guys even commented to the number of boxes that we had. But all comments aside, we are finally in Starkville and our new little house is starting to look like a home. Here's a picture Adam's mom took of us in front of our house when they were leaving last week. (We are so thankful for the help of our families to get us settled!)


Dr. Knight (aka my wonderful husband) started his new job today and I know he is going to do a great job here at State. We are looking forward to all that God has in store for us in Starkville!
