too good not to blog right away

so today has already been interesting. my in-laws dog( that Curtis carried home 14 years ago in his hands) already has health issues, but today she got super sick again and had to go to the doc. Automatically we all started thinking that this would be goodbye but the doctor drugged her up and sent her on her way.

Since we thought this would be goodbye, Curtis and I got into the conversation about putting animals down. Neither of us like this option- in which I turned to my cat and said " Please run away when you need to die." So Curtis was asked what Prissy had done to receive the lethal injection, "did she rob a bank?" "did she murder?"- when I input that she did bite. So we went through a list of ways that are still not right but made us take our mind from Prissy: Lizard being put on a electroplate, as he changes colors then passes, a bird hanging where he never dies because he can fly, and a shoot out between cat and dog. As this conversation begins to take an end, we drive down Huebner to find an unidentified dead animal which I equate to a cat- Curtis on the other hand decided that it is a Lemur but not a real one- an ANIMATED ONE.

This reminds me of a story my old youth minister would tell- "In college and I had a cat and a roommate. I came home to my cat in the freezer. I asked the roommate why the cat was in the freezer and he told me that he found him collapsed and put him there. I called the vet and asked what to do, the vet told me to get an eye dropper and gasoline. The cat proceeded to run about the house and then collapsed again. I asked the vet what happened and he said " The cat ran out of gas." :) "

Never a dull moment...

LIFE: Camp

I have had an awful lot of un published blogs lately. These blogs come from deep routed feelings that have surfaced this year due to one thing or another. Maybe some day these blogs will be unearthed but for today, this blog needed to be written while it was still raw.  I have very vague memories of third or forth grade summer camp at Alto Frio, where I met Nana Pudding ( a christian puppet) and went pogging for the first time in a river. Summer after sixth grade,  I got in church vans and headed to Louisiana for the first time to attend Student Life Camp, then proceeded to go to Angelo State University and Glorieta New Mexico a few times. I spent time serving during spring breaks at Riverbend Retreat Center which lead to an internship over the summer. The week that "Curtis" and I first really got to know each other, we were at Glorieta for Centrifuge camp.  Camp is a special place for me. Camp is a happy place for me.  In 2018, I was able to experience camp through ...

first day of "summer"

On this the first day of Summer at work, I find myself reflecting on the past "year". The kiddos are twice the size they were last "year" and I am still working towards my same goals. - God's plan which may or may not include the things below this line - School - Weight Loss - Running - Reading I did do myself a favor last night, the last night of my break from school because summer school started today, and finished a really great book I think I started at Christmas. I was only ever able to read it in the car and we have not done many long trips this year. The book was "Unlikely Disciple " by Kevin Roose and I highly recommend it. It is about a non christian student from a secular school doing their study abroad at Liberty University. I am glad I chose to read this and not some girl falls in love book. I was completely satisfied with the choice. I think that God showed Curtis this book for me because I came from the same kind of household/family/back...
