For the first time in a very, very long time I am excited for Christmas. It’s because of something that I have made up my mind about. I am not ready to share but am almost there to share. I am optimistic about the future which usually I am not.

Remember when I said I will never ever have a puppy again? Like I was really dead set on never having one again. Well….we decided to live the nightmare again. I know, I know I said never again. This time will be different since Jeff works from home more. He can help out more too.

Jeff really wants a silver lab but if we can’t find one of those then chocolate lab this time. We want a girl lab too this time. I think Tex will be curious at first. I think Tex will be fine having a sister. We are excited to have another dog in our life.

Ah, this time of year again. It’s starting to get cold out. Today is 32F. However, I go for a walk in the morning. Not every day but I am trying three times a week. It’s so hard because I hate mornings and walking in the cold sucks. But I am trying and for that, I am proud of myself.
