Question: What is your favorite past-time?
Evie: Hmm...this is a tough one. I consider myself a rather sophisticated puppy. I do not enjoy the antics that most other puppies do. Instead of playing fetch or chasing my tail, I prefer to eat mulch and bite people. It's been rather difficult for me to make friends given my advanced maturity in these areas. I also love to eat rabit poo.
Question: Who would you say is your biggest role model?
Evie: Me. Again, I'm really just much better than all the other dogs. I know that probably sounds braggy, but I can't help it. I do like Silas, however, he's a cool dog. Although I must say he's just rather large and slobbery.
Question: Of the toys you've accumulated in the previous weeks, would you say you have a favorite?
Evie: Typically I like toys that my parents won't let me have. We've got some great shoes in the house, towels, blankets, tables/chairs...you know the stuff I'm talking about. For some reason though, they always hide these from me or scold me when I chew on them. And, all of the "toys" they keep shoving in my face are not as enjoyable - can I help that? NO! Why chew something if you're allowed to? I'm kind of a rebel...
Question: In talking with your parents we learned some interesting facts about you including that you eat most of your meals out of something called a "Wobble Kong." Would you care to comment on this?
Evie: FIRST OF ALL, whoever invented this so-called "toy", should be punished severely. What a joke! I work so hard all day at being a good puppy, and then when mealtime comes I have to work for my food?! What is that about? All I want is to sit down, have a nice quiet dinner, reflect on the day's events, and enjoy my food. BUT NO! My "parents" (if you can call them that) find it amusing to torture me with this devil-toy which dispenses food at an unbelievably slow rate, usually leaving me more hungry than when I started! What a joke.
Question: Do you have a favorite movie?
Evie: Again, this is where I'm more sophisticated than other puppies. I try to not waste my time on silly movies or TV shows if I can help it; I personally prefer the business section of the Wall Street Journal. Honestly most of it goes over my head, but it tastes exceptional.
Question: As we wrap up our time today, is there anything you would like to comment on that we didn't discuss?
Evie: I would just like to say that, despite my constant biting, snarling, and bad behavior, I really do love my parents. I only act out because I often don't know how to contain my excitement - we didn't learn that in the kennel. I would also like to implore my parents to stop stepping on me all of the time. I'm twice the size I was when you adopted me and it seems that you step on me more every day. STOP IT! Also, I love peanut butter.

Let Me Bring You Up to Speed....
Life in the Heyne house is fairly predictable and, much like Hobbits, we like it that way (that's right, I love Lord of the Rings). Here's a quick recap of what goes on in the life of a hiney, I mean Heyne...
Tim - He is still working as loan officer at First Commonwealth Mortgage. If you ever need help with an existing mortgage or when buying a house he'd love to help you out! He's rapidly closing out his 6th year at the company and hopes (as far as I know) to continue there well into the future - unless a better offer arises. Tim got the running bug last July and still hasn't fully recovered (I'm pretty sure his sister Alicia gave it to him). While running is certainly not my sport (it's a sport, right?), I have done my best to join alongside my hubby and run with him. In fact, Tim decided to train for the Derby Mini-Marathon this spring and, being the supportive wife that I am, I chose to join him in the training. The group we meet with is through our church (Southeast Christian Church) and we currently meet with them every Saturday morning and subject ourselves to, what I can only refer to as, cruel and unusual punishment. I know what you're thinking and no, I am not overreacting! Last weekend's run consisted of single digit temperatures, almost sub-zero wind chills, and lots of snow. Despite the running, however, it has been an enjoyable experience for me and it's been fun to have an activity to do with Tim that he enjoys!
Rachel (that's me) - I am currently finishing up my last semester in undergrad at Campbellsville University Louisville. Can you believe it? The girl who vowed never to go back to school is about to graduate! The only thing I can say is, God is GOOD! This journey has been all about His work in my life and it's only by His grace that I've come this far. After graduation I will receive the wonderful gift of two whole months off from school, at the end of which I will dive head-first into grad school. The purpose behind all of this schooling? I hope to one day become an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist). That's right, one day I hope to be one of those cool people with letters behind their name - I can't wait! In the meantime I am simply trucking along hoping to finish out the semester with decent grades, but let's be honest, I've got MAJOR senioritis (hence the blogging).
Tim and I will be celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary this August - we can't believe it's been that long!! While God has taught us much about Himself, marriage, and each other over the last few years, I truly believe we become sillier and more immature with each passing day. (How many 25 year old gals do you know who put on sock puppet shows for their husband??) Nevertheless, God has kept our relationship fun, exciting, and filled with laughter as we become better friends every day.
While that's not exactly an exhaustive look into our lives, hopefully it gives you a better idea of who we are and what we do. We love the Lord, we love each other, we love our families and friends, and we're so excited about the journey laid before us. Peace out!

A year of firsts for the Heynes!
Well everyone...it finally happened. For those of you who know us there are at least three things that we have chosen to do without - internet, texting, and pets. That being said our 2011 has been taken over by "firsts." Just before Christmas we got texting - T-mobile has been a nightmare, but the texting ability is fantastic! The first weekend in January we broke down and got wireless at home (actually, we're paying our neighbor who has wireless, but it still counts!) And finally, and probably most surprisingly, we adopted our little puppy, Evie. (There are still days that we look at her and wonder what we were thinking!)
On top of those 3 new introductions into our family, I have started a blog - which you already know if you're reading this. While I'm not a big fan of blogging, my dear, sweet husband has insisted on me having one for quite some time...so here we are. I enjoy reading other people's ramblings, recipes, and stories, however, I lack confidence in myself that I have anything interesting to say. Hopefully, if nothing else, this blog will invite you into our lives a little bit more and be an outlet for us to keep you updated on the many adventures God brings our way.
