Summer time and Trout Fishing

Andy and I have really enjoying our summer so far. We've been trout fishing a ton already which is awesome. I've never really been all that excited about fishing, but its so cool up here. We go to this place in the mountains about 40 minutes from our house called Roaring Run. Its about a 2 mile hike along the stream with all these beautiful waterfalls. Trubs absolutely loves it!! We usually go early on Sat or Sun morning that way there isn't too many people around so she can run the trails without her lesh. She is pretty good about sticking with us and she will run and get a drink out of the stream while we are fishing. Trubs is for sure in her element. You wouldn't expect a small dog to be such an outdoor loving adventurer, but thats our girl!! The last time 2 times we went I've caught some giant rainbow trout. Unfortunatly since I have begun fishing, Andy hasn't caught a single thing....I had to rub it in!! In fact the picture below is actually him with my fish; I figured I should throw him a bone, haha. Its just a nice relaxing time when we go. I love being outside hiking and taking in the scenery. The waterfalls are so gorgeous. Its probably our biggest hobby out here. The last 2 weeks its been unbearably hot, so we haven't done a whole lot of outdoor activities. We usually just take Trubs for a walk and do a little yard work before heading inside to cool off.

Trubs and us have some new friends! We got some awesome new neighboors who are about our age and they have the cutest little Cockapoo named Bella. Trubs and Bella are best buds and love to play and chase each other around our yards/houses. We probably just sit outside and all talk while the dogs play every night. Its been so nice!! Our other neighboors big chocolate lab, Chi, has also been getting in on the action!! They all place so well together and its so nice to have so many great neighboors/friends. We are all getting together for a cookout Friday night which will be fun. We are so ready for the long weekend to be here! For the 4th we will prob just try to find some local fireworks to check out. No big plans, but it will be nice to just have the long weekend and chill.

Feb Update

Hey guys...sorry I'm so lame. Let's see, whats happened... Last weekend Andy and I finally bit the bullet and bought a new couch. It is a very large dark brown, microfiber, dual-recliner couch that is pretty much the most comfortable thing I've ever sat in. We have just become useless to the outside world!! We love it and Trubs loves all the extra space, although she still has to sit right on your lap!! V-Day was pretty lowkey around the Robertson household. We went to Texas Roadhouse (my fav) on Friday to beat the rush. We ended up having so many leftovers we just ate that for our dinner on Sat!! We also fell asleep at about 9pm watching TV....like I said, lame. We're looking forward to some upcoming visitors/trips. My mom will be coming in March and then in April we will be heading to the keys with the Ralphs for a little beach vacay!! Sometime after that Amy and Alex will be coming to visit, so it will be nice to have visitors. I'm looking forward to the weekend. I'm sure you are all as excited as I am about my 25th bday on SAT!!! Andy is taking me shopping to Greensboro, NC for the day and to a nice lunch at PF Changs. I'm super excited!!
Trubs is doing good. She is just so darn cute!! She loves going to doggy day care to play with her little friends. We take her about 1 time a week (usually Fridays), and she comes home exhausted!! She has a lot of energy to burn off...
Other than that not too much going on here. We are for sure ready for warmer weather and a better economy!!
