This picture is so neat because it is Shadow's perfect paw print in the mud! So many different things are happening lately. I knew my happy bubble would pop! Even though, it is just the loss of a doggy...there is a definite sad cloud over this house. We had him cremated...the kids do not understand how they made him so little for the box. That is a hard one to explain to kids. At least the kids are happy...they have the whole yard to play in. We are thinking of getting a new puppy in a few months. But, Caydon said it must be yellow like Shadow...that boy and his yellow color! Geez! 
Yesterday, I spent a few hours with my beautiful SKINNY friend, Krista. =) I was so proud of myself with the willpower I had, not to buy anything as I shopped with her! I think that would have went out the window if we would have actually made it to Forever 21 though! I get to look forward to possibly seeing her 2 more times this week too!! I want to go to the Aquarium this weekend and the kids would have so much fun with Laney! =)
My Valentine's day was loving! I know I say it alot...but, my hubbie truly is wonderful! My life is so complete and I am so thankful to have this last 2 years with him because our bond has grown even stronger...even though I did not think that was possible! I am sure I will say the same thing again in a few years. Sorry if this blog is not as upbeat...usually, I can put a smile on my face...no matter what. It is hard to smile though, when waves are crashing on you from every way possible...pushing you down & drowning you. Just too much to think about lately. I promise, my next blog will be happy and upbeat. My worries are always watched over and taken care of...even when I may not recognize God's power to do so! HUGS!PS...I want to thank all of my terrific friends and family for your wonderful support and love...your love and sweetness will always bring a smile to our face!
