So…funny story - last weekend Miranda and I were killing time before we met up with some friends and we were just looking around at Pet Co. Well, we came across the CUTEST Hawaiian aquarium decorations. They were just so stinking adorable; and, hey, like I said they were Hawaiian themed!!!! Anyone who knows us knows that we’re practically obsessed with anything Hawaiian since we spent last summer there taking a class at the University of Hawaii. Well, we just had to have them…but one problem, we don’t have a fish tank. So what do you think we did…yep, on a whim, we purchased a 10 gallon fish tank without having a clue how to put one together or how to even take care of one. I know the employees at Pet Co are still laughing at us because it was quite obvious that we didn’t know what we were doing or what kind of fish to buy. Well, they informed us that we couldn’t buy any fish until we “conditioned” the water and got the water heated between 72-80 degrees. So we sadly went home with our empty fish tank and the cute Hawaiian decorations and read all up on “new tank syndrome” and the “nitrogen cycle” and other necessary but boring information.

Today, 3 days after the buying of the fish tank, we were able to buy some fish!!! Again, we looked like idiots in that store stating that we didn’t really know what kind of fish we should buy, but we just wanted the cutest and the most colorful fish they have. After much deliberating, we purchased our 5 fish and put them in their new home.

Isn’t it adorable!!!!

Abby didn’t know what to think about a new pet being in the house…I think she’s a little jealous already:

So anyways, we’re excited right now; but I’m sure when it needs cleaning for the first time, our excitement will quickly fade.

Other news - school is in full swing for both of us (ugh…), and we’ve been pretty busy getting into the swing of it again. We’re getting caught up on some recent shoots, so we’ll be posting them soon.

Oh, and it’s that time of year again - FOOTBALL SEASON !!!!! We’re going down to the LSU season opener this weekend, and we’re just praying that Hurrican Gustav goes away.

Anyways, I better get back to my homework!
