The Ongoing Adventure

I feel like whenever I post something about my plans, something major happens and changes it all. :-P My life seems to be a constant adventure these days, with something unexpected happening nearly every day.

Our house has been on the market for about 1.5 months now and despite the holidays, we’ve had a few people look at it! Dad continues to work his new job in Oklahoma and house hunt up there.

After a 6-week-long illness, I finally took my last dose of antibiotic on Christmas Eve and we had a quiet celebration at home as a family. I’ve fallen a bit behind on school work due to all the crazy events that have worked their way into my daily life. But I hope to get back on track this semester, knock out my sophomore year, and break into my junior year!

Adding into all this mix is a new endeavor/adventure: I became a dog owner a couple of weeks before Christmas! Long story short, I ended up taking our neighbor’s Blue Mountain Cur that they were looking for a home for (he was originally purchased to be a hunting dog, but the owner had no time to work with him.) Sweet Tex had a run-in with a barbed wire fence, and by the time I purchased all his other accoutrements and had him neutered, I had spent a few hundred dollars on him. :-P But he seems to be a fast learner and has a personality that desires to please. I’ve already fallen in love with him and look forward to training him as soon as his neck heals up and I can get a collar on him.

Trying to get Tex to sit still for a picture is rather difficult. :-P

So that’s a brief update in a nutshell! Hopefully I’ll be able to post here a bit more often in the New Year. But maybe I shouldn’t say that . . . ;-P
