Changing gears I crossed my first item off of my bucket list yesterday! I HAVE A PEN PAL!! I am truly excited! Here's to many more crossing offs of the list!

Failure, Meet Success

I have accomplished some great things this month, and failed miserably at others. Life is so painful busy at times that is just becomes too easy to blame it on that. No more excuses! I swear!!!

I did NOT lose any weight this month
I did NOT blog more
I did NOT retake my permit test
and I did NOT get my face cleared :(

I DID however de-cutter my life a bit and it was very liberating!
Drum roll please..........................most importantly I DID become a certified groomer!!!!!!!! I finished my 100 dogs, took my test and PASSED!!!!! Above is my favorite groom dog EVER and I want a Cavalier soooooooo bad!!!!

So......here's to a more productive week than last and love those you have because you never know when your last day will be

The Dangers of Human Nature

I was getting my haircut on Wednesday and I realized something. Human Nature is our greatest enemy! I was sitting in the chair thinking how horribly unblessed I was to have straight brown hair when what I really wanted was red curly hair when the lady next to me came in for her appointment. She proceeded to tell us that this was her first haircut since she got Leukemia! Her hair had finally grown back and she was so thankful that she had enough to get it styled. WOW!!! Why is it that with human nature we automatically think unsatisfactory thoughts? Why is it so difficult to be happy with what we have? After that story, my effort this year is to be happy with whatever I have and work hard for the things I don't.



Juli is such a blessing to me! He went out and got me......MY BOOKCASE!!!!!!!!!! I have been wanting one of these for the longest time and was so excited when they had them on sale!!!! NOW to fill it up (to be fair I have three boxes of books left to put on it, but I am saving those for when we move :))
My Christmas preset finally came in the mail and I am so in love! Rocky is too!!!! Oh and I found a matching lamp at Target for 20 bucks!!! Have I mentioned how much I love Target?
