Hi there

Wow, what a month. I can't say I'd want to do it again, but I've learned some pretty great life lessons through all the ups and downs, stress and emotional turmoil.... namely to take a step back and first recognize all the good, and then step by step handle situations. Thanks to any of you who may be reading, who have lent an ear or helping hand. It's been a huge support.

Joshua and I have to be out of our house by Saturday (long story), and as of yet, still don't have living arrangements completely figured out. I'm looking at buying a house, which I'm excited about. If that doesn't come through, some rental possibilities are out there. In the meantime, it's a few weeks of couchsurfing.

My girl, sweetheart, black beauty... aka Xela... is still as wonderful as when she first came home on day one. Here's a couple more photos.
