Time for Happiness

For the past 2 or 3 years, my family and I have been through a lot of emotional stuff most not good. We experienced a few household changes. We did a ton of remodeling to the bedrooms (some of them not quite done yet ;) ). The carpet was torn up that had been put in when the kids were little. Laminate wood floors were put into the bedrooms and hallway. We love the new floors, they are so pretty. The master bedroom was painted. Sheets, comforter, and (soon) curtains were ordered.  

My husband and I decided we needed some happiness in the house. It was time for a puppy! We have thought about getting a puppy that we get to train and love for years and this was the time. We went to a few shelters and while there were tons of dogs, none of them seemed to be THE right one. Then it happened a person my hubby works with had a litter and a person backed out of purchasing one. We went to see them. There were two that we could choose between a little girl and a little boy. We knew exactly the one wanted. 

Please meet Ms. Ellie Mae. She is spunky and full of life. She makes us smile. She fills our hearts will happiness. She is now 16 weeks old and doing great on potty training. She weighs 26 points and received a clean bill of health from the vet, just the other day. 

She brings out the joy in little ways. We spend more time outside with her. 

 

I have to say sometimes it is hard to pay attention to my studies when I have a study buddy like this. 

And she likes to cuddle like this. 

I hate this photo of myself but it displays how she likes to cuddle on the couch.  And this is the story of our little ball of happiness. We hope and pray she will be with us for many, many years. My husband and I envision her accompanying us in retirement as we travel the country in our RV.
