Hectic months...

It has been quite a while since my last post. Yes, I am still here, just a little more busy than usual. When I started blogging, Eric was out of town for work. Needless to say, he is home now and I have had very little time to catch up. Those of you who have kept in touch know that Eric is a police officer in the city where we live. He was recently promoted and then out of town for five weeks of training to become a K-9 officer. We now have another dog to add to our line-up of Baxters! Unfortunately, I am not helping out the cause of being called the “Crazy Aunt with Dogs.” I am trying to convince my family that “Basco” is Eric’s dog, not mine. I cannot accept any relation. How can you be an owner of a dog that you will not even pat on the head? He really is a good dog, just intimidating to say the least. He is also very well traveled, being born in the Czech Republic and obedience-trained in Holland. You should hear my Tennessee husband speaking Dutch. I guess the dog understands “Southern” as he responds appropriately. I’ll try to post a picture soon.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I must mention how thankful I am for my good life. God has been so faithful and has blessed me in so many ways that I cannot begin to comprehend the fullness of it all. If I dwell on the gifts He has given me I am completely overwhelmed. I have a husband who truly completes me, an extended family with support that engulfs me, a job that supplies well over my needs, a church family that upholds me and more friends than I truly deserve. How blessed in fact I am! Happy Thanksgiving!
