Snow Day

We got 15 inches of snow today...that was enough. I wanted to take Millie's picture on the patio by the snow and boy did she want to climb in it. When she did she couldn't move and looked up at to help her out. They have shoveled us out and we are going to take a walk, she really is loving the snow. I wish I could say the same. It is pretty and that is all I can say about it. I hope everyone else had as much fun in the snow as we did today.

Church At Last...

Today was great, we were finally able to go to Church. Because of the weather the last two Sunday's church was cancelled, and might have been this Sunday because of a water pipe bursting and causing a major amount of damage in the building. Thankfully things were cleaned up enough so that we could go back to church today. The biggest problem for most was the smell, the kids in primary kept holding their noses, it was rather comical. I enjoyed getting to be with my primary class and I really enjoyed sacrament meeting. I was so grateful to be at church today and the I could really feel the spirit. It was also good to see everyone. Today was a good day...

Midnight run





Good evening or Good morning depending on how you look at it...


First I would like to say sorry for not posting for soooo long. I actually didn't think I had anything interesting to post. But as I have been looking around the blogging world I have seen several different things that one could talk about and maybe even discuss if others wanted to add to the discussion. So I will try to begin again to be a better blogger.


Well the first topic as you might well guess is a midnight walk with Millie. About three hours ago Millie went to the door and buried her face in the space between the door and the door frame. So I thought we would just step out and get some fresh air. She ran out to the street, thankfully no one is out at this time and started to just sprint from one end of the parking area to the other and then did a few hops in the snow. She always surprises me with her bursts of energy. We were only out for 10 minutes I think, but it was worth it just to see her having fun.


I have to tell you that she inspires me sometimes. She lives in the moment, and she holds no grudges, she loves everyone no matter what they look like or what they may say or do. I have often wished I was more like her. I bring this up because something my mom gave me, it was in the paper and listed things that we could learn from our pets, in particular our dogs. It was written by my favorite dog whisperer, Cesear Milan. I will say there is one other important thing that Millie does that I need to learn from. She has no fear. She does seem to know she has limitations, she never has tried to jump off anything. But she always figures out a way to move forward.


I am little long winded sorry, but I wanted to share with you what I have learned from my most faithful and loyal friend. I have decided to not just try but to live in the moment and move forward with my life. Come what may. Well hopefully it won't take me as long to post again...and hopefully I'll have some interesting things to share with you.


Till we meet again....goodnight!!!!
