A rough day...

I know I've spoken of the love I have for my job, I still stand true to that but some things about my job aren't so glorious. A little one died last night that I had been caring for for weeks. It was heartbreaking to hear, i was up the rest of the night just to have a busy stressful day at work (the winter busy season has definitely hit!)! My heart reaches out to the family who lost their little one, its always so hard because there is never the right words to say to comfort them, but just to let them know that I care is all I can do and to let them know they are in my prayers. She was a little angel baby and had a wonderful family that loved her so very much. I pray that God be with them in this hard time, give them healing, peace and strength. Luckily they are a christian family so I have peace that they are leaning on God and have been from the beginning of this little ones life. Still I couldn't imagine the loss they must feel. I'm off to bed now, tomorrow its back to work again, not a lot of time to grieve over the loss of a little one in my profession.

Still settling into my new home...starting to feel like a home now. Though it is sooooo quiet. I had forgotten what it was to live by myself. I had great friends Kiela and John that welcomed me into their home while I was waiting for my house closing. They each have a child so I got very accustomed to living as a family again, it was nice...forgot what it was like to come home to people and hear conversation and voices in the house all the time. Now I have to get used to the silence again, being in my own thoughts which can sometimes be a dangerous thing haha. I find myself trying to keep busy, which right now isn't hard cuz i still have so much to do in the house, but I already long for conversation, companionship...to hear a voice haha aside from my dogs barking. Speaking of the house, I will get pictures up when I have everything unpacked and settled...

Its been a while...

Sorry for not keeping up with this thing! Fyi i don't have Sophie, she got taken back by the neighbor who felt she had first dibs on the dog, so that was crappy and sad! As for the house, I have lived here for a week now and am very much enjoying it, though it would be nice if i had blinds up so no one could see into every inch of my house...though this takes money, that i don't have haha. I have painted all 3 bedrooms and the bathroom. I'm still needing to get some more furniture but it has come a long pretty well! My sis is visiting at the end of the month and i am very excited for this is a rarity and can't wait to hang with her! I will get picks up when i get the chance but if you wanna see my house just call me and ask, i would love to show it off to ya!

Updates to the house

Before i hit my yard with a lawn mower my grass was about a foot long and let me tell you i was feelin the pain from that for a while haha. Doesn't it look great now! Such a big yard! The only thing missing from these pics is the fence that now stands :-)

New addition to my family!

It's a Girl!!!! haha My temporary roomies Kiela and John were at home yesterday when a couple of teenagers walked by with a dog. The dog came into John and Kiela's yard and decided not to leave! When the kids came back by they were told their dog was there and they said they didn't want him that he was gonna get shot anyway cuz the owner didn't want her anymore. John and Kiela then were trying to figure out what to do and it occurred to them that I should have her haha! So when i came home from work and asked who's dog they said yours! I thought they were joking but turns out they were serious and so my family has grown to 3 now. Lilly wasn't so accepting at first but she is warming up to her, especiallly since she is bigger than the lil one! I think I am going to name her Sophie because she kept trying to jump up on the sofas. She is a terrier and probably not much more than a year old. She is cuddly and quiet and just wants to please me, we are working on training her but she is a quick little learner except she doesn't know her name so that will take time haha.
