Busy Week

So, last week was a busy week for us. Consequently, I am only just adding this post! First of all, on the 8th, Monti and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary! It seems weird that I'm old enough to have been married for 9 years and at the same time, I can't remember life without Monti. I would be a really rotten wife if I didn't take the time to say what a great hubby I have. He is so sweet and thoughtful and a super great dad. One of my favorite past times is to sit and watch him and Gracie play. She loves her daddy and I love her daddy too. He is truly the love of my life. And I would be a really rotten friend if I didn't say thank you to all my favorite ladies for the gift card they gave us. It made the night absolutely perfect!! You guys are awesome!!






The next thing that happened last week was that we had to put our little puppy Maya down. she had been sick for about a month, having seizures. And finally reached the point on Thursday night that she couldn't eat or drink and couldn't even move. We decided that we couldn't just watch her die of dehydration and that it would be much more humane to let her go with some comfort and peace. Our friend Becca who is a vet tech came and picked her up Saturday night. Then we were able to get her from Becca Sunday morning and we buried her in my mom and dad's backyard. She was a sweet, sweet puppy and we will miss her! Gracie still wanders around the house saying "Maya, Maya?" Then when we tell her Maya had to go bye bye and she cries. And subsequently I cry. It was a hard situation that was made a little better by Becca's kindness. We are so grateful to her.

You 2 are so cute! So glad you had a wonderful anniversary! You deserve the best!
So sorry about Maya. That is such a hard thing to do. Our family mourned for a long time for our Petey. Still fun to see those pictures of him with the kids.
What a perfect song for sweet Gracie! Love you!
