Catchin' up!

It's been forever. Summer has came and gone. The new Jeep is now full of dust and in need of a major detailing.  My puppy is getting big and although he is still adorable, houesbreaking a pup with a bladder the size of a peanut is proving to be more challenging than I ever thought possible.  The leaves are falling, halloween came and went (with a frost and freezing weather to boot!) Time just keeps marching on.  With or without time to blog, time to think, time to process, time to catch your breath, time keeps marching on.

This past few weeks have been a conflict of emotions.  Friendships have come back together while others have provided some distance.  Halloween party brought so much laughter and good memories while the east coast was falling apart at the very same time.  For me, all I can do is sit back and count my blessings.  This time of year always provides that sense of feeling over appreciative for the little things.  My heart breaks for those on the East Coast who are looking around trying to find anything positive to feel blessed about. My thoughts and prayers are with them, and not just in a way that seems to fit that phrase.

I am starting a new job tomorrow, leaving my nurse aide care behind for an adventure with my four legged furry friends instead.  Getting back to my passion, I hope. My love is with pets and my only hope is that I love the job as much as I am hoping to. Prayers for it to go well are so appreciated!

There are so many pictures that I wouldn't know where to begin so I'll try to narrow it down to just a few :)

 My little brother came in town for the weekend. It was AMAZING to have him here. He's back in Montana now and we are hoping he'll get to come home in January.  My sister is looking AMAZING after having gastic bypass less than a year ago. She totally rocked that beetlejuice costume. Loved having her here for the party!

 We made a Jenga set and turned it into a drinking game (each block had things to do). My amazing friend Trenton had never even played the original Jenga so it put him into a full blown anxiety attack, it a hilarious fun way! It was an absolute blast.  How cute is he as a cowboy and PJ as an elephant!!

 

<--- this my friends is my BEAUTIFUL friend Brittany who is due with baby Spencer in about 2-3 weeks. I am STOKED!!! Absolutely can not wait to have another baby running around. She was glowing in her godess costume! :)

We made it to 1 year!!! I was super sick but I wanted to make sure we got a 1 year photo with our doggy family! :) We made it to 1 year and I turned 26 a week later, I am feeling OLD but oddly okay with it too!!

 

My good friend Amanda has been in town from Boston the past two weeks.  She is dating our good friend Lincoln and came to visit for what was supposed to be a week before making her final plans to move down here next month.  Due to the hurricane her flight home was moved not once, but twice. Snagging us an extra week with her.  After being 5 min late for her flight home today...she is now leaving tomorrow!! I keep telling her just to stay butttt she's not ready yet.  Luckily we get one more night with her so I'm going to get to making dinner :)

Thanks for reading, God Bless!
