Planes, Trains and Automobiles... LOVE that movie

Hello everyone! I am finally getting around to writing another blog! :)

First of all, I wanted to congratulate my Mom and her husband Tracy. The wedding really did turn out well and the reception was beautiful and there was a ton of really good food, :). Also, my sisters and I had a ton of fun being bridesmaids. It was funny that everyone thought we had coordinated our dresses so they kind of matched, but we didn't AT all, lol :D. We had a blast that night, I just hope we didn't scare Tracy with him wondering how in the heck is he going to survive this family, lol. But, it was fun. Justin was very handsome and we had some good pictures taken of us. :)

So, anyways, everything has still been going great over here. This last week for me has been so freaking crazy though. Justin has had an earfull of it, but is really supportive and kind. It started on Wednesday. I am pretty sure I was just burnt out at work, I had no energy and I just could not teach my classes with as much personality as I usually can. So, all of my classes just stunk that day. Then, the next day was my day off, and on Wednesday I had set up a time to go with my coworker to go up to the dog park in Sandy with 4 dogs. Well, when we got there it was great, we had a lot of fun. I decided to play tug-of-war with a pit bull mix, lol. They have about 60-70 lbs of pure muscle and I did not realize how hard it would be to play with him. He was really serious about the game, so I jumped right in and was serious about it to. I didn't let him win. Needless to say, I should have let him win because I haven't been able to really move my muscles for the last 3 days. Then, on Friday, I had a class with a dog that does not really like other dogs at all and will bite them if given the chance. The dog had gotten trapped behind a stool in the training center and I knew it was about ready to react and bite a dog, so I made the mistake of grabbing the dog from behind. The dog immediately reacted with his fight or flight mentality and because he couldn't run away he fought and bit me all over my hand. And, because it would be a huge step back for the dog if I let him win and retract from him, I went ahead and took the bite and held the dog down until he calmed down. He really got some good bites in my hand and I ended up having to go the hospital to get a tetanus shot and some antibiotics. But at least the dog hasn't regressed at all with his behaviors! I guess he has bitten a lot of his family members already.

So, well today was my first day to actually heal from all of this. It isn't as dramatic as I make it sound, lol, just being a girl and having estrogen is a straight shot to being dramatic about nearly everything lol. It's alright though. So, well, enough of all that. Today we get to go to Salt Lake and hang out with Justin's family. And, Strider and Jasper can play! :) I am really, really excited. I haven't seen Justin's Dad for a long time and it's been a while since I have seen Justin's Mom and sisters. So, I'm excited.

I am really happy and well taken care of by Justin. I really love where I am right now in life and I am so lucky to have the family I have and the love that I have for everyone in my family. I am so excited for my Mom and Tracy starting their new life together in Springville. It will be fun to go and hang out with them more often, :).

Well, I better stop blabbing, because I am probably making everyone who is reading this bored. But, I love you all and hope you are all having a great weekend! :) Love ya!
