Butt warmers!

For Christmas TJ got me seat warmers for my jeep... I'm super excited! It's the one thing that my jeep didn't have when I got it.. And now it has everything I want an need in a 'luxury' vehicle. He is so super sweet to install them for me too! I was expecting some anxiety watching him ripping my jeep apart but I did just fine.
I look forward to many years of keeping my butt warm ;p.

In Loving Memory of Rascal

Rascal and her BF Kallie

Rascal and Daisy, last month

Last Thursday I had to put Rascal to sleep. :( It was very sad and devastating for me. I just could't watch her suffer anymore.  She no longer looked comfortable and had a decreased quality of life so I did what was best for her. I feel like a betrayed her a little for some reason, like I didn't try hard enough, but she did live for almost 18 years. She was a big part of my life and I continue to keep thinking she is there when I move a round the house.  I know she had a great life and I need to not be so hard on myself and know she is not suffering anymore.

I buried her out but TJs house, he was soo supportive and help be build a wooden box and dig the hole, she well now be over looking the vast beauty of Wyoming sage brush and wind.

Hanging out with the girls

 She also made me think about my own mortality and family mortality and what I would do and react to my family members death...  As a nurse I see death all the time and except it for others I'm not related to but I don't have much experience with death in my family. So just brings all those feelings to the surface.

Always had to drink fresh dripping water even to her final day

Thanks Rascal for teaching me so much and always being there when I needed a
friend and someone to cry on.


I loved reading all my past posts about her so truly showed how much I loved her and that I wasn't betraying her my putting an end to her suffering. :(

I will miss you

 I will miss her greatly and she will always have a place in my heart. 

Safe Haven Trailer 2013 Movie Nicholas Sparks - Official [HD]

I just finished this book. It was your typical Nicolas Sparks book, with love stories, danger and twist.  I look forward to this moving coming out in February.  It does seem like there are some pretty dramatic differences from the book to the movie I noticed just by watching the trailer. But then again what movie doesn't have differences.  We'll see which one I like more.

 It was the first book I read on my new Kindle. It was difficult at first to read on the kindle, but now i love it.  No more loosing my page and I love the feature if i dont know a word i can just tap and look up the meaning. I don't know if i'll will get the level of books read Lisa completed in 2012 but i will defiantly read more books this year then i did last :)

Instagram

For some reason instagram makes me look like a photographer :P

Jackson Hole, WY

I now understand the beauty of the Tetons and Jackson Hole.  I had a great mini vacation with Teej (TJ) and got to learn more about him and get to know if family better.  I would love to live in Jackson... A little pricy but I think i can manage it :)... I even looked at job openings at the local hospital.  I would love to come back in the summer time and see it completely different.  I know the snow and cold is magical but -10 below is really only nice in short periods of time. I'm excited for what 2013 brings!
