Sunday

Sunday. I am sitting with my two very well behaved pups, waiting for Josh to return from Wilmington. I have organic chicken breast defrosting, dessert picked out, laundry folded and hung up, and Mr. Perfume's album blasting. I absolutely love Sundays. Relaxing. Marxy and Chowda get along brilliantly, and Chowda is beginning to ease up. He hadn't run away this weekend, so my fond feelings for him are returning. I took them both for a walk yesterday, and it went very well. Marxy didn't need a leash. Instead, she walks side by side with me. She responds to NO swimmingly. She's a very sweet dog, we got very lucky with her. They are currently sharing a bone.

I went to the Panther's preseason game yesterday with Josh's parents and had a blast! We went to a nice little restaurant right near the stadium that had incredible grilled chicken sandwich. Ahhhh... It was a fairly boring game, but being up in the stands with all the visual distractions everywhere, and just the general environment of a big sporting event made if entertaining enough. Josh comes from a wonderful family. I am lucky to have them near by.

I feel extremely greatful as of late, and feel very secure. I have never experienced this type of happiness, stability and love in all my life. I look at old posts stating how confused I was that I wasn't feeling happy. I never felt like I had found my niche. All those difficult times were pointing me in this direction. You just have to stay strong and stay optimistic. And you have to take chances. I could not possibly be happier.

Who knew that Raleigh, NC would end up my home?

I cannot wait for Megan's visit. It will be so nice to have her see how I live these days, and meet Josh. And I can't wait to hold and play with Mia. I am excited for our Wilmington day out, shopping, and good food.

I have so much to look forward to!
