Welcome to this week’s edition of the Little Happies, the happiest little link up around! 🙂
It’s been a busy week and a half around the Teixeira home. This past Friday and Saturday we completed our adoption training classes…meaning we’re approved to adopt and officially just WAITING for Baby Girl’s grand appearance into this world. We still have a good amount to get done around the house before her arrival but the time can’t pass quickly enough!
With that, let’s check out some recent Little Happies.

We took a very cheap Babymoon/Anniversary getaway, thanks to Airbnb.com! They make it easy to take trips on a dime.
We won’t be going on any vacations or romantic getaways anytime soon after Baby Girl Tex comes on the scene so we took 36 hours and ran up to Glenwood Springs, CO.
They are known for their Hot Spring pools, which we basically sat in for an entire day. Besides feeling like we were going to pass out half the time, it was amazing. It was cold and snowy, which created a foggy mist above the springs water. Eerie and really cool. On our way back to Denver we stopped in Vail to see the Aspens changing.
Colorado is simply beautiful.

When I was in Omaha for the baby shower, I dropped into a dog shop and bought Wrigley this little pupcake made specially for dogs. I know, I’m turning into a sappy dog owner but I thought he would be so cute with a little pupcake.
He knows sit and stay, so he was a good little boy and let me set the temptation in front of him while I snapped pics.
But as soon as I gave the word…he was on that pupcake in seconds. It was gone even quicker. I don’t think he chewed….just inhaled.
And yup, it was adorable. I especially love at how he came in with such force that his ears flopped straight up.

We updated out latest adoption puzzle progress last week. Hasn’t it come so far?!
It makes me so happy to look at the names on the back and feel the love of so many others in a tangible way I’ve never experienced before. It’s been such a blessing to bring others into our adoption story and I am so glad we did. For anyone who wants to “get in” last minute on the puzzle, click here, we’d love to have you!

Jonathan and I have the chance to tell our Loooove Story over at the FOCUS blog!
It’s going to be a 3-part series and so far Part One is published. Stay tuned this week for the upcoming posts!
We also both posed in Jonathan’s latest FOCUS blog post on how to take your favorite martyrs and turn them into Halloween costumes. 🙂

Remember our Debt Free Story?
Well after we ran it here on the blog, I had someone from THE DAVE RAMSEY BLOG email me and ask if I would like to be one of their guest posts around the upcoming holidays!!!
If you know how big of Dave Ramsey fans we are…you know that I did a happy dance and email back with a resounding “YESSSSS!!!!” Now I just need to come up with a financial holiday blog topic…brainstorm with me down in the comments! 🙂
That’s a Little Happy Wrap!

What a fantastic list! I love Glenwood Springs, and fall color, and Colorado! 🙂 That’s so awesome that you get to guest post on the Dave Ramsey Blog! Way to go!!
Great post! For the Dave Ramsey post, there are so many expenses during the holidays that could pose as a budgeting challenge – travel, gifts, parties, holiday attire, and medical bills (with all the cold weather). Hope this helps with your brainstorming! Congratulations!
Yay for your babymoon, hot springs sound amazing!!!! That little cupcake is so cute, and so is your dog! 🙂
So excited for you guys! Your babymoon sounds wonderful, we’ve only driven past Glenwood Springs but never actually stopped to go to the springs! Looks like so much fun!
Oh my word, Wrigley has gotten HUGE!!!!! Love the ears in the pics. 🙂 And I’m really enjoying reading your love story. Part 3 better happen soon. I’m growing impatient! 😛
