Remy

My parents have a new puppy. The woman who sold them Misty asked them if they wanted another puppy since she passed so young. In my dad's words "A free puppy is better than paying for one." So, they picked up Remy a few weeks ago. She's adorable and a bit fiesty and loves her sleep. She follows Brinley around everywhere she goes. Between Sammy and I, she loves Sammy more. Of course :) I had a big dilemma where I was wondering if there's something wrong with my soul and that's why dogs never like me that much. They'll tolerate me, but they never love on my like Sammy and my mom and Brinley.




She's a cutie, but she's not Misty. It's been weird. I miss Misty. She was a character and always got her way. She was a good dog even though she had her moments. She wasn't a puppy anymore, she was a dog. I loved Misty so much especially after I got married. I missed her all the time. And she's gone now. Remy is there, but she's not Misty.

It's not Remy's fault that she's not Misty. She didn't do anything. She's just a little puppy who needs some love and has her own personality and is cute in her own way. But I keep thinking of Misty as a puppy. It's all so close together. I try to remember Ginger and it's hard to remember what she looked like anymore. I mourned a lot for Ginger, so I guess I'm still mourning Misty.

It's so crazy how animals can touch our lives so deeply. In the bible it says they are for our enjoyment but it's so much more than that! I'm grateful for all the sweet animals who have touched my life and my families, and that my family always has a dog that I can go over and play with any time. Oh doggies!

    I heard that in Mormonism, animals get to go to heaven. Is that true?

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
