Today ends the 30 day blog challenge and I'm thankful because I'm tired. It's been a good run, and I've really quite enjoyed writing about things that I normally wouldn't think or write about. I do love to write, but I never dedicate significant or consistent time to it. So maybe another challenge will be in the distant future. Stay tuned.
As far as my final challenge, I think we all know the answer. I can't wait to see my Mom again one day. But I also miss my dog Freddy. He was the bestest dog in the world, I got him when I was 11 years old. He was annoying, he would bark ALL night and keep the whole house awake and he would run away to the next neighborhood sometimes. He liked to bury stuff in the yard. He wasn't particularly the most well behaved dog but that's why I loved him. And just like me, we both had to grow out of it. Me and Freddy had some good talks though. I used to sit out on my back porch with him and we would chat about life. I remember sitting outside with him for a long time the night before I left for college. I told him to take good care of my parents, and he sure did through those years. He was one of my favorite things about coming home because he was always there in the driveway, waiting for me to pet him first thing. My family has had a dog as far back as I can remember, so it was a really weird feeling when Freddy died about 2 years ago. It's still kinda weird to go home without him in the yard. And since writing this is about to make me cry, I'll go ahead and share the good news. This is a picture of my new puppy, Cali. I get to bring her home in about 2 weeks and I can't wait to play with her! We're going to be the best team ever.
