I know it has been a while since I have
written, sorry this past semester was super busy. I spent a ton of time in the classroom this
semester doing field work and studying. Now
I am at home enjoying my break with my family.
I am feeling really grateful for my family. My brother is coming home in four days after
being away for a while. I am really
excited to see him. My grandma had surgery
today. She has been on my mind a lot lately.
She is a daily inspiration to me.
My
grandma has not had an easy life, but somehow each day she wakes up each day
and finds beauty in everything. Every
time I talk to her on the phone she makes me smile. She makes me feel so special each time I talk
to her. She is a very giving
person. She collects soda tabs for St.
Jude. She came for both my graduation
and my brothers, which is a big deal because she lives in California, so it is
a journey to get here. She has taught me
what is truly important in life.
The
other big event in my life is that my family got a puppy. Her name is McCallie and she is full of sass. I love her so much. She greets me each morning. She loves to cuddle and be held, but she also
likes to chew on things. I was upset
when I found that she had chewed a whole into my PJs the other day. My new strategy is to give her a toy when she
is on my lap, so I do not become the chew toy.
She is very smart, but I might be a little biased. My dad taught her how to high five. It is so cute! She also knows how to roll over. She has brought my family so much joy. I can’t wait to see my brother meet her.
