Happy 2013!!

Its a good year so far.. only had to work one day in the first week and I have already started my running program. Not quite sure how far I want to run but we'll see!!

This past week was particularly sad for us.. we had just sent out our Christmas/New Year cards when I mentioned in our updates to friends/family that we still had Beau, our black lab, and how sweet he is, etc. Beau's health took a deep turn for the worst the following days, not eating, barely getting up, and it was difficult for him to move around, etc. For a 12yr old lab their movement can tell you a lot about their health.. and the not eating part was never really something we expected. All this to say, my husband and I made the decision to say goodbye to our sweet boy. I never knew how hard it would be for both of us.. a pet really gets into your heart and your life! We want to have a pet again in the future but we both need a big breather after this past week. Fortunately for our kids.. they are very young to even know the full impact just yet. Our lil man Drake knows he wasn't feeling very well, and we haven't had any questions just yet.. so I am not sure of the impact this has had just yet, so time will tell?!

I pray that we can take a few months off and maybe take in a rescue pet very soon?! We'll see.. no rush but I do want my kids to experience a pet in their life and the love they give so freely!!




Sweet Beauregard!
