Life and goodbyes....

Well this past Saturday we were forced to say goodbye to one of our fur babies. Nala was hit by a car in front of our home and died. It was a tragic way to say goodbye and both my husband and I are both having a hard time with it. I never in my life thought it would be this hard. We went to church the following day and during our lessons in the last part of church we talked about what happens when you die and where and who you would end up with. When Dave and I got into our truck we both looked at each other and couldnt wait to talk about what we had learned. We both felt at peace with Nala's passing because we know that she is waiting for us in the afterlife. It truly is an amazing feeling to know that this is what will happen to our family and we will one day be complete. Nala has been such a blessing in our lives and there will always be a spot for her in our hearts.
 
Just look how sad poor Patch looks without her. He circles the house looking for her :(
We bought a truck! Isnt she a beauty? Its perfect for our growing family and I am so blessed that we were able to get this and that my hubby has an amazing job that we can afford this. We really only bought a truck for the fact that apparently this state gets a ton of snow so we need something that we know can take us anywhere during any weather.

 This little guy is amazing! 
I feel so blessed to be his momma. We took him to the dr yesterday and had his weight checked. 16 pounds 14 ounces at 10 months. I am very shocked I thought he would weigh more because of the amount of food we feed him. So they will be trying to figure out why he isnt gaining enough weight. The dr also heard a heart murmur so next week he is scheduled for an echo-cardiogram on his little heart. I just pray everything goes well. 

Who couldnt love this face?!
