Lots has happened...

If we were having coffee today, I would tell you that...

• On November 14th, our sweet baby Avery Shea went to doggie heaven. It was very sudden and very sad. It was completely unrelated to her earlier struggles. In 24 hours she went from normal to having her spinal cord being pinched by a calcified disc in her spine, to being completely paralyzed from behind her front legs. It was very painful for her and chances for recovery even with extensive surgery were limited. I miss her terrible and I will forever love her dearly. She was the best. 
• Travis has been gone a lot lately. He was been hunting the past two weekends. I'm glad he'll be home for awhile now. 
• I saw Hunger Games: Catching Fire last weekend. It was very good, however, I maintain the books are better!
• It is snowing like crazy right now and I don't want to drive in it!! Eeekkk!

"Let everything happen to you
Beauty and terror
Just keep going
No feeling is final”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

Yes, I suck at blogging, thanks Jess

• Basically Avery almost died a couple of weeks ago. (Slight exaggeration.) But after costing us the price of CrossFit for an entire year (that's a lot by the way), she's semi back to health. :(
• Okay actually here's the story. We think she's allergic to something in the woods and it's causing ridiculous red spots, swelling, and other horrible things (when she eats it, of course it's worse). We are assessing the situation. I'm thankful for a cute dog.
• My crown popped out of my mouth for the second time in 3 months. Then I proceeded to be told I needed 6 cavities filled. My mouth rocks. I'm thankful for insurance.
• Scott came to visit for a second time. You know, because he likes us and all. Unfortunately, Travis had to work a lot that weekend, but we did do some great things. Like celebrate his 30th birthday! I'm thankful for awesome friends.
• Oh, I rode in a small plane and came scarily close to vomiting on/around co-workers. I'm thankful for great co-workers.
• I'm doing a daily thankful at home. Yes, I call them thankfuls. Everyday I say to Travis, "have you written your thankful yet?" Because I'm a good wife. I'm thankful for chalkboards which allow such activities.
