Little Leo

Leo is a mixed breed pup. I was told that he was an American Eskimo Spitz/spaniel mix but as he has gotten older  and I've seen a few English Setters, Leo is looking a lot like the English Setter breed.

Last year was a bit rough, although Leo is an easy dog to train, he had to live with a friend, Alicia, who was glad to help me until I was able to find a place that would allow pets to live with the tenants.  He enjoyed the pup he played with but I knew he missed me. Nala was a great friend for him.

I take Leo to the dog park because at my apartment complex there isn't an area for the dogs to run around outside. They have to be on a leash. Leo loves the dog park. He'll run and run and run and never seem to run out of steam until I tell him it's time to go.

Once we get back in the car and moving, he falls asleep right a way.

2016 New Year New Adventures!

I graduate from Full Sail University with my Bachelors degree last March! I took myself and my kids down there for a few days. We had a blast. They didn't want to leave Daytona Beach. I am making it a goal of mine to make it back down there again at some point! 

Connor turned 10, James turned 9, then I turned 31. Last year wasn't very exciting other than us going to Florida and my business trip top Chicago in July.  

Halloween came and gone, Thanksgiving too.

Then it was Christmas. Boys had a blast. They enjoyed they're gifts. Our new puppy, Leo is doing wonderful. He's always by my side. He doesn't like when I leave him alone. Leo is an easy going pup. I hardly have issues with him. He listens to me and knows when I'm disappointed in his behavior.

My life as a single mother has it's challenges but I wouldn't be the person I am today without overcoming those challenges. One of those challenges was finally realizing the people I want, not only in my life but my children's lives as well.

I have a new job at Panera Bread. Today was my fourth day. It is different than McDonald's and Papa John's. There are more ingredients to remember what goes on what sandwich and which salad. There's also remembering the different types of breads that are baked. 

I am still an Independent Designer with Origami Owl. My three  year anniversary is this year, I'm excited. 2016 is THE year to join Origami Owl! So much has changed and the 2017 incentive trip is amazing!

My Pepper Girl had to be put down just recently. That was difficult.

I'm not sure how often I'll post but I'll slowly get back into the swing of blogging again. I like to write and have gotten a lot better.

It is now time for me to climb my happy butt into bed. Goodnight.
