goodbye

so my life has been one big stress monsoon the last few weeks, and its not clearing up anytime soon.
I think last week was one of the hardest weeks I have had in a really long time.

School this semester has been really tough on me. I don't know why.
I don't know if it is the combination of classes I am in and being newly married which is a pretty big change and just trying to fit life, school, work, church, and my family all together. It really might just kill me.

So last week I was dealing with all of this, but the hardest part was saying goodbye to Lucy.


This is my dog Lucy on the day we got her.
We became best friends from that day forward. I am the youngest in my family by a few 7 years, so growing up I was alone a lot of the time because my siblings were always away in college, but Lucy was always there for me everyday when I got home from school, seriously she was my best friend.



We had to put her down a week ago, and I can't believe how hard it has been on me...last weekend when I went home there was such an empty feeling not having her there anymore...and I know its going to take awhile to get over, but I am so grateful that she lived for as long as she did. I guess according to the Vet 14 years is a really long time for a Golden Retriever to live, i'm really glad she stayed around for so long.


I love you girl, and am going to miss you more than you will ever know. Thanks for a wonderful 13 years.
