Holiday

Well, tomorrow is a holiday - Thankgiving. Not looking forward to it much this year. There has been just too much turmoil in my house lately. In fact, I am dreading tomorrow. I'm worried about how the so-called festivities will pan out.

Each Thanksgiving, my brother, manager of a restaurant, must work. So, we can see him and have a good ol' feast for little dough, we go there. Albeit untraditional, it's always yummy and it's always good to see the fam.

Holidays are difficult when you are "with someone" and especially now that Jay and I are engaged. How are we going to handle holidays from now on? I wish my family and Jay's were closer. I hope it will happen. My family is tiny enough and certainly welcome to attend his family functions. I really enjoy when my family and his spends time together. It doesn't happen often though. A couple of times my mom has come by Jay's on Thanksgiving night after we've left the restaurant. It means so much to me when she does. I know it's difficult meeting lots of new people, but hopefully over time, they won't be "new" anymore.

Since I've been "thinking" about planning this wedding, nothing has officially been planned yet, I've thought a lot about family. I look forward to Jay's mother June meeting Cousin Jimmy, I know they will get along great and I'm so glad Jim will be marrying Jay and I. I may not have a large family but I'm so glad a member of mine will be doing something so special for us. It really means a lot to me.

Well, now I've gone on a tagent. My hope for tomorrow is that all members of my family behave, that we enjoy eachother's company and leave the dinner table full and with smiles on our faces.

 

I wish that for all of you too.

Just thought I'd share!

Sadie

So we changed the puppy's name, it is now officially Sadie.  'Hope' was just annoying to say all the time so that's what started it, lol.

She is a sweet lil' 8 week old baby girl. She has trouble walking at times because of her big floppy feet which she has yet to grow into. She also has big long ears. She's adorable and loving. I'm so glad we got her. Rudy, one of my other 2 doggies is still kinda annoyed at her presence. I'm sure they will become great friends someday... Kayla, my other dog, on the other hand, loves the puppy. I think she thinks of it as her own. She's constantly by her and wagging her tail with a big smile on her face- pure love and happiness.

Hope!

Hope

We are getting a puppy today! It will be a dachshund/beagle mix just like our boy Rudy but it will be a girl! We are naming it Hope. The perfect name at a time like this. My family is so happy right now. We definitely needed this ray of sunshine to break through the storm clouds. We are hoping that she takes to my dad especially. I'll post pics soon!
