A Day to Give Thanks!!


I am thankful everyday but today seemed like the perfect day to try and put it in words! November is my month to remind myself of everything I am thankful for: my health, wonderful family, incredible friends, amazing dogs, and so much happiness!

I am so thankful that I got to spend the beginning of this year helping my daughter get ready to marry a wonderful man; they bought a house and are now expecting a baby in mid-May. This made for a very busy summer filled with lots of fun with family and friends and lots to look forward to in 2013!!

I am so thankful that I became a NADAC judge! I love judging and getting to spend time with amazing people and dogs! I stayed very busy this year! I love agility!!

Agility kept me very busy this year! Kant had an awesome year and we are very close to getting NATCH4, I love running with her and all that she gives me. Echo had a very good year and we are working out the teamwork. I went to NADAC Championships in South Jordan, Utah, with both girls and Jordana & PITA!! Kant did her best ever but we stayed just out of the ribbons and Echo exceeded my expectations!! It was a wonderful road trip with Jordana!!

Echo’s puppies turn 1 today!!!!! I am so thankful they turned out to be such great puppies! Linda posts wonderful pictures and stories about Jet and Sassy; I am so glad they are doing so well!! I am blessed to have two of the puppies in my life. There is not a day that goes by that they don’t make me smile!! They are complete opposites which is fun to watch how they each learn. They are both doing great in agility and herding. I am hoping they make their herding debut in April at the Sheltie National and True makes her agility debut there also while Eris does Rally.

Happy 1st Birthday Puppies!! I hope to see all of you in 2013!!

May your Thanksgiving be filled with lots to be thankful for!!

Thank you to my cousin, Joe; my best friend, Lee;
my mom, Ginger; my sister, Erin, my beautiful nieces, Madison
and Isabella; my sister and her husband, Jane and Randy; and of course the bride and groom for all your help getting the hall and outside set up for the wedding! Everything went together perfectly and looked incredible!

I huge THANK YOU to my best friend’s mom, Barbara,
who delivered the bride and bridesmaids in great style in her 1956 Chevy Bel-air!!
The ceremony was scheduled to start at 7pm but started in bride’s time about 30 minutes late. But a BEAUTIFUL Bride she was!!
The ceremony was perfect and the setting along the pond was gorgeous. I love the LOVE the pictures captured.
Thank you to a great photographer that did a wonderful job of capturing the evening!

The wedding was followed by a dessert bar reception in Aspen Hall!
