What fun we've had this weekend. We have had the privilege of taking care of Jacob's dog, Bud. He is a big 75 pound lab puppy. We love him! Our Chihuahua -- not so much. She might be a bit jealous. Little bit. Bud is a hoot and a half. He can chew something quicker than you can blink an eye. He is not a "curl up in a little ball" sleeper. Stretched out full body sleeper. He is also an escape artist. Yep...found his way out of the fence - not just once, but twice. We did some reinforcing of the fence and it seems to have held him. He slept in the bed with us last night...I had about 1/4 of the bed for sleeping. On the plus side, I'll sleep great tonight. Jacob should be back for supper, but I'll miss our "little" grand-dog when they go home.
On another note, Allan directed me to another great essay this week. This one was about the benefits of marrying young. I was very interested in reading this because we married at 21. I have always thought it was the best thing to marry young. I have loved each and every minute of our lives together. I love that we knew nothing about anything when we took our vows, but learned everything together. Was it easy? Of course not! Was there many times of struggle? Absolutely! I look at where we are today, not just financially, but as a couple, and I am so happy that we built this together. We grew together. We accomplished things together. We made a plan and worked it together. I think we would have missed out on so much had we waited until we had everything established individually. How do you combine two accomplished individuals into a couple that works as a team? I'm not sure. All I know is I would not change a minute of my life with Allan.
