Towards the end of 2012 ... almost there!

So we haven't had the best of luck this past month but we won't let it get to us. God continues to bless us on a daily basis. It's only a bump in our path and we will overcome it soon. It's nothing too major but it has definitely added stress to our lives.

Other than that, everything else has been fine. My family and I had a chance to be a part of the Step Out Diabetes Walk/Run about a week ago. This is our second year participating. Diabetes is well known in both my family and my husband's side of the family, it means a lot to be a part of this event. It was held in Downtown and the weather was beautiful. This is my family.

Oh and Thanksgiving just passed, it was great. We spent time with both of our families and ate like no tomorrow. We had a Part 2 with our Damage Inc family (husband's truck club) and ate even more turkey but we sure didn't complain. The rest of our four day weekend was relaxing. We are truly bless with all that God has given us although none of us deserve it. It's amazing how great and forgiving our God is.

On another note, we are now pet owners. Yay! My husband finally let me convince him to get a dog. We got lucky! I found out that someone in our neighborhood was trying to find homes for two of her dogs that she could not take care of anymore. We took in one of her dogs and her name is Cali. She is a female Boxer mix and is about 18 months. She is a loving and active dog. We've only had her for about a week and a half. She's been adapting but I think she was definitely experiencing some home sickness the first few days. She managed to escape from her crate during the day while we were at work and tore up two of our window blinds. She is a smart and strong dog! She figured out how to get out of it. We found a solution but I've decided to keep her out of the crate while we are at work. Her last owner told us Cali loved her crate and was use to staying in it through out the day but for some reason she is not liking it anymore. We found a solution for now but I hope she will get the hang that this is now her home and maybe we will be able to get her back to her daily routine of staying in it while we are away. Don't get me wrong, she stays in her crate at night without a problem and tends to go in it during the day while we are at home. She just doesn't like to stay in it while we are away for so long. Here she is, meet Cali.

Thats all for now. Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays with their loved ones. 

Love,
