Happenings of 2009 Already

When I have not been at my Parents house during this vacation that I took to support my brother at his wedding, I have been at my sister’s home with her 4 children.
I have enjoyed so much being able to spend time with my nieces and nephews and with my sisters and brothers. I know that I said this in my last post, but I do miss being close to my family, so when I do have a week or so to spend time with them, I try to make the most of it.
My brother’s wedding was beautiful, and his bride outshone everything. It was a very nice wedding, and reception, which they put together without very much help from anyone.
They planned most everything, and did a very good job.
I hope only the best for these two as they embark on their lives together. I know that they will have struggles just like the rest of us had, and continue to overcome, I only hope and pray that they can get together to figure out how to stay together!
They are a very cute set, and it is so good to see my brother so incredibly happy.
Now onto another topic...life.
Landon plays tonight, and still has to make it home by 7am to get Butch to the doctor to have his surgery. I am very nervous about this as my little wee dog is like my child, and it is a surgery. So I am freaking out! :) But I am sure that everything will go well, and my little tripod fella will be a tripod hurting fella with a lampshade on his head for a while until the stitches can come out. In the meantime, Butch is going to be left home during the day by himself while I go to work, and Landon goes off to play.
I was hoping that Landon would have a week or so where he was not working quite so much, because I would have felt so much better if someone could stay home with him for his first week after the surgery, but alas, he feels he need to go play, and bring home some bacon. I cannot take off either since I have just had a whole week off. So until he can get up and around this will be fine, but the vet said in a week or so when he needs to start his physical therapy I will probably need to come home from work during lunch to get him up out of his kennel, and walk around to get the leg working again. This is going to be tight as it takes about 35 minutes to get home from work without traffic. And it will be during lunch when there will be some traffic, so I hope that I can do it. I sure do wish that Landon was home….oh well.
Here is to the first test of the New Year to see how we handle small hardships!
I hope we pass!
