What we will not talk about is:
- How long it has been since I have typed something on this blog.
- The fact that there are no pictures in this post.
- Our oldest daughter getting in her first fender bender (everyone is okay).
- My tire blowing up while driving (I’m okay).
- How little sleep I got over the last 2 1/2 months.
- How half my house is still decorated for Halloween.
Since we are not talking about any of that, let’s talk about the following:
- I am FINISHED with my phlebotomy course. I can now successfully draw blood and specimen on people. If you question my capability, just ask T, my mom-in-law, M, my dad, and several friends how their experience was.
- We bought us a car so that I would have something a little more fuel efficient to drive around. I like it. I think M would like it too if I would let her drive it instead of her beat up car, but see number 3 above, it probably will not happen for awhile.
- We bred a litter of lab puppies that produced 4 chocolate, 4 black and 1 white lab. We gave the dad away to a family who wanted a family dog. T kept one of the puppies for himself and M bought one from her dad for herself. So we have 4 dogs.
- J had to do one of the hardest things she has had to do in her life so far and that was to decide which dog she wanted to keep for herself. She has a tender spot for animals like her daddy, but realistically we could not have more than 3 dogs. (I know if you do the math you wonder how 4+1 is 3 but M has to take care of her own dog and get her own dog food since she has a job.) J earns her dog food by taking care of the other dogs. Anyway, we had recused a German Shepherd and she is beautiful and smart. She attached herself to J (go figure), so J decided to allow Kavak to go to a family who would love him as much as she did. T and J took Raven (German Shepherd) to an obedience class and that was the best money spent.
- We had our young women in excellence, and I am just so blessed with a great group of young women. They did such an awesome job. I am thankful to be their leader. I am blessed to have such great leaders to work with as well. They do an awesome job.
Stay tuned for another day of sharing hopefully with pictures.
