tugging at the heartstrings

So last night, Drew was on his way home from the bank and saw a little puppy walking on the side of the road-no collar, nothing. So he drove around for a minute and the puppy was still there with no one out yelling or looking for him (that he could see)so he went back and picked the puppy up. He said that as soon as he walked up to her, she rolled over on her back for him to rub her belly! AHHHHHH-so Drew calls me and is like, "um, I have a dog in my lap" I looked around for Darla (even though I knew he wasn't talking about her) and just told him, to come on home and we'll make fliers to put up. He walks up holding this little adorable yorki puppy-like full blooded, pretty looking yorki! We left to goto dinner with some friends so we left, listening for someone to be yelling for her and put up signs as we left the neighborhood...went to dinner, left her in the truck (it wasn't hot at all) then went to the pet store to get a tiny leash so we could at least walk her to take her potty...So far, no calls. Drew was taking her to our vet today just to get her checked out so we can let Darla get to know her. I have already fallen in love with her and so has Drew! Here is the cutie-patootie sitting on my chest last night while we watched t.v....

Drew has already told me that IF no one claims her that we can keep her, so I hope that if her owners love her and are looking for her, that they find her, but if not, I am SO HAPPY-I get my lap dog! We'll see, trying not to get my hopes up...

rambles...

So much for being consistent with this...GAH! I want to keep this up so bad, but I am just so bad about doing it! The school year has begun and my routine is pretty much set. My fall semester of 2 graduate level on-line classes has begun and Drew has started his fall semester as well! Drew took and passed his National EMT boards the FIRST time-which is apparently very difficult to do! I have been so proud of the work he has put in and now he can say that he HAS accomplished this, not it's looking for a job, and finishing up the prerequisites he needs to start Respiratory Therapy school next fall! Summer came and went VERY quickly-way too quickly! I was able to do both camps at Lakeshore, along with the preschool VBS at church and many other things-I just feel like my summer zoomed by and I missed it! I have started by with weight watchers but have not done a very good job so far-it's just been very difficult with the new routine, having a HUGE spot of plantar's warts on the bottom of my foot and pure laziness on my part. I hope that since I was just "released" from the podiatrist that I can get back to working out so that I can shed these pounds! I have gained almost 40 pounds in the almost 3 years since our wedding, and really just over the last few months-I feel like crap because I know that I am not healthy like I should be! I did my BMI the other day and just about had a heart attack-it was HORRIBLE!!!!!! Last time I attempted Weight Watchers I posted my weight on here and actually did a pretty good job, maybe I will try that again and see if it works-I'll think about it and if I decide to, that will be a completely different post! Some awesome news from this summer-one of my best friends-Sarah-got engaged! Wahoo!!!! The wedding is planned for November and I am a bridesmaid and Katie and I are throwing them a couples-cookout shower for September, could not be more excited for these two! Working at the middle school and adult ed is such a roller coaster, I LOVE AE, but was told that next year the funding won't be there to keep me 1/2 and 1/2 so basically I can either keep my AE position and only teach part time, or I can start looking for a classroom position for full time-I have to look at the full time positions-money and insurance is key right now! BUT-my AE boss has already offered me the night class teaching position for next year, so I will get to stay with AE teaching 3 hours each Monday night-pretty pumped about that!! And both, my AE boss, and principal at the middle school have both told me and or made hints that it won't be a problem finding me a classroom position next year! MY AE boss is even going to talk to the principal at Alamo elementary for me-her sister teaches there and i did a month long sub position there and LOVED the school-that would be amazing if God opens that door for me! But for now, I am going to take this school year one week and one day at a time and just trust that God will give me what I need! Now that I have rambled on FOREVER with no paragraphs or anything-whoops-I am going to end this for today-expect more posts, expect updates, I am going to try and make this a priority for me-however i have to do it!
