Barber... PARTY OF FIVE...

Well, I clearly forgot how hard it is to have a puppy. I know he will be worth it!  I mean, look at this face!! (Not mine of course!)


We drove 2 hours to meet up with Steve Quick.  He is the breeder we bought As and Simba from.  Still a great guy, laughed at stories - especially that we weren't having kids... and most likely not another ridgie.  I pull up with a kid, and drive off with my 3rd HUGE dog.

Meet Trooper!  He drove 2 hours home and didn't make a peep.  Just the sweetest little boy!



I think T might be in love...


Baylor has been ok.  She isn't thrilled but she will get there.  She has tried to play with him (REALLY PLAY) twice and he was pretty scared. But he bounced back.  They have played tug and laid near each other and there hasn't been any food aggression so far, so that's good new.


Look at that ridge people!  And that puppy is TWO months old.  God help me when he's 12 months!  He is going to be HUGE


But there is something about these dogs.  They are loyal, friendly and VERY protective. I know as T gets older and I can't always be here, he will be by Tristan's side.  I count on that and know he will be a great companion for us both.  Everybody has their breed and RR are definitely mine!!


Per Tristan - NO ONE except Daddy was to see the pup before the Mays.  Thank goodness they could come over for the introduction.  He nipped, bit shorts, chased and was silly and they LOVED him.  I mean come on, who couldn't?? 



Tracy even got in on the snuggling!  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAW - made my heart happy that they came over and spent time with the little man.


Two seconds ago and email came out that we will be working from home again and I'm going to assume it's for the month of July.  I'm pretty relieved because how I was going to pull this off was beyond me.

So now, juggling work, a puppy, Tristan, meals, a house, soccer, golf, mental and physical wellness is going to be a challenge.  I'm seriously sitting here wondering if I have lost my mind.  But I'm trying to believe that the Lord blessed us with a great dog and He's now allowed me to be home to train him at least a month and then of course, half of August if I go back every other week. That is, if I have a job. Scary times for sure but I just can't look ahead that way. I have to do my best to be careful, live and just roll with whatever the Lord allows. March, April and May were a HUGE struggle. I imagine July and August won't be much different. June felt easier because of my trip.  I think mentally I'll go to Italy in July and see if that works. LOL

I am thankful for all you have given me Abba, help me to steward it well. Help me to honor you, be wise and walk in that wisdom.  I need help being ok with the "world" not agreeing with my convictions. I need peace, YOUR PEACE... and I pray that I stay focused on and close to you.  Oh... and please get my mom home safely today. Amen

Mom/Son trip for 2020 and 2021 combined... look out Fredericksburg, here we come!

Image
Well, I booked this trip for Spring Break of 2020 and Covid had other plans. I moved THREE time and prayed this weekend would stick - AND IT DID!!  We drove a long 5 hours to Fredericksburg, TX.  It's wine country but that's the last thing we had on our minds! I swear - I found this out AFTER I booked the house! look closer... and I was only looking for this! We only got in once for about 10 minutes... it was hot AND there were SO many bugs! We headed to dinner. It was HOT and we both had on bad shoes... the mile walk to and from Tubby's (gross food BTW) was not worth it.  LOL But then we say that we lived a few doors down from a jail. Very cool all the history in this German town!! I told Tristan it was a "YES WEEKEND" and I would say yes to anything he asked (within reason) and he made the most of it! I said "no" to something he asked for and he didn't miss a beat... he stopped and said "What mom?  I couldn't hear you?" That face... u...

Day 7 and 8

Image
Well, the first two pics are from a very hard Day 7 I sat here... and bawled.  Tristan and I had choice words about his eating. Well, not eating.  His snacking.  It didn't go well.  I'll leave it at that.  I sat here.  Bawling.  Crying out to God to save us. To heal our land.  I told Him all of the things I CANNOT do.  Well not in my own strength.  I told Him all of the places I NEED to move out of.  All of the insecurities I have. All the things I have fought SO hard for that I'm fearful He is asking me to just forget about. I'm scared of His "NO". I'm scared that I'm being corrected or chastised for all of the decisions I've made until now. That I've just messed it all up.  But then, I remember that I'm just not that powerful. God has shown up for me in so many ways, so many times, and I can't forget that. I can't be like all of God's people who wandered in the desert 40 years... and then in their freedom, they w...
