Buck, Buck a roo, Bug a boo

This dog has been a love of mine for sometime now. He has a personality that's for sure. He is the man of the house. He controls the household you could say. The picture that I posted is of him tired after tricker treaters coming and going. He loves loves attention. He got petted by pretty much every child that came to the door as I am holding him back and trying to give kids candy. The other picture is of him with his shirt on that I bought him, he looked like a sausage but I had to take some pictures before he got tired of it!

Every day I wake up and the first thing I have to do when I come doorstairs is feeding him and give him his morning treat. He will bark at you and bark at you if you don't. I am not saying he is the best mannered but I still love him. He loves his treats that is for sure. He is a Corgie and Lab mix so he is trully a unique puppy. His one trick he has is that he can sit on his square bottom and look ever so cute with his puppy eyes

He loves it when you dress him up in his bandanas. He has more clothes than I do , I feel some days. He thinks he is a lap dog and gets in your lap and wants to climb inside. He would climb inside you if you let him. He loves to cuddle and will get in bed with you but... you have to push him away or you will not be able to sleep. He expects you to pay attention to him all the time and love on him and feels this is part in the household. He loves his toys as well. He loves squealy toys that is his favorite! I feel like he is a part of the family. I love him to pieces even though there are moments where he is annoying me but I guess that is what family does...lol.

The Path for ME

I was chating with a friend this weekend that I hadn't talk to in 10 years. I lost track of him after he went on his mission! We were talking about what was going on in our lives now. He is now married , has been for 3 years and has a little boy. I was telling him about my adventures. I have served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints after I graduate with a degree in psychology from VCU. I am currently working as a Pre K teacher and going to school part time for my masters in teaching special education. I told him, I am not married yet but I have done pretty well for myself. It hit me I have done well for myself. I am someone that has strived to be the best I can be. I have worked hard to receive a degree. I worked hard to go on a mission and served faithfully as I could. I am now continuing on with my dreams! If you asked me as a 8 year old child what I wanted to be when I grew up it would have been a teacher. I changed my mind many times through out my life on what I wanted to be. I wanted to be interior designer, travel agent, librarian, psychologist, marriage and family therapist, a postal worker and much more. I went to Averett University and VCU and received my degree in Psychology. Apparently Heavenly Father has bigger plans for me that I hadn't even began to think about several years ago. I came off my mission ready to go out to Utah to go to a master's program out there but... prayed and pondered and knew ... that staying in VA and getting my degree in teaching and special education was where I needed to be. He also directed me to the specific school I am in as well. I was seeking out different schools in the area, it was Mary Baldwin that sought me out where as others did not. Even though my desire is to one day have a family, I know that for now this is the path for me!
