Update

Wow, it's been quite a while since I've written a blog. So...I guess it's time for an update on my life.

For starters, I finally got a job. At Petsmart, as a dog trainer. It's pretty cool, actually. I'm only twenty years old yet I've already reached where I want to be career-wise in life. I'm a dog trainer. It's what I went to school for and now I've already started a job in my career path. Not a lot of twenty year olds can say that.

Second, I got another dog. Kaelynn. She's four months old and she's a husky, lab mix. She's adorable and Liam and her get along so great and they just absolutely love each other. They have since day one. But, I do have to say that working and taking care of a puppy is a LOT of work. Potty training, plenty of walks, feeding, watering, taking care of her when she gets sick (which actually has happened, unfortunately) is a lot to deal with, but most of the time, it's fun.

Now comes the other updates. Wedding planning. It. Sucks. Everyone says it's fun and all that, but not when you have a very opinionated fiance and a future mother-in-law who isn't all too easy to deal with and who is also very opinionated about how you should spend your wedding budget and how you should live your life and how every future wife needs to know how to cook (which I do but it's not fun for me and I can only make a small number of meals). But, I did happen to find a VERY, VERY beautiful wedding dress that I have put a down payment on and can not wait to have in my possession forever. It's so pretty and I just know I'm going to feel like a princess on my wedding day, mostly because of the dress.

I continually feel the excitement about my future life with Chris. You know, the way future. Like our future house on tons of land, him working his dream job, me owning my own training business, having a bunch of dogs, and maybe a child or two in the mix. Yet, I know I have to be patient and that God will help us get to that point. But I'm still excited.

Life, and growing up, kind of sucks though. There are so many responsibilities that come with it. I wish I could just go back in time and be a kid without responsibilities and to just have fun again. But that's not the way life works and I'm reminded of that daily. But at the same time life and growing up comes with it's privileges.

It will definitely be an adventure, growing up. But I look forward to it.
