I love 85% of my life. Which is probably better than the majority of the population. I don't know I just have so many positive things and people to be thankful for and I don't ever, for one second, take them for granted. 
Last Friday was Blake's birthday so I got him this Chinese  dragon statue thingy (bc he likes that kind of stuff) and surprised him with tickets to the Breakaway Music Festival in Frisco. Not only was it a kick ass gift, but this meant I got to see my babies (m&k)..... and NOT ONLY DID I GET TO SEE THEM, BUT I GOT TO MEET THEM AGAIN. They are literally a blessing in my life, as gay as that sounds. So that was another highlight of my 17 years of living..
But I think he liked it :) and everyday that I spend with him I'm just reminded how lucky I am to be with someone like him. He literally puts up with so much of my crap and he's so understanding about everything, but that's enough about that. I really don't know what I would do without him. 
On top of that, my best friend is getting asked to homecoming tomorrow!!!!! Good thing no one knows about this blog so I'm allowed to say that stuff and not give anything away. Carina is the apple of my PEAR. She is everything I'm not. Literally. I'm an idiot and she is a certified genius. But anyways, she is finally getting asked and I couldn't be more excited✨ she deserves it more than anyone I know and I'm so thankful for her, period. She's awesome. 
So yup those are basically my three favorite things and I am #blessed

(M&K, Blake, Carina)

My pooch

So this being my first "real post", I thought what better subject to blog about than my dog. After all she is anything and everything that is important to me. It's fascinating to think about how a creature that can't communicate through words back to you can mean the world to you. She isn't just any four legged creature, she's my four legged creature, and yes; I am in love with my dog.
Since day one she has been my buddy. I had just moved to Texas and it was summertime. My mom and Tim (step dad) decided to go to Operation Kindness to check out some dogs.. just for fun- who were we kidding... Anyways, we go there and we see the cutest couple of border collie puppies. My parents and I ended up playing with the girl. She was so frightened, it was pitiful and I won't forget watching my baby puppy hide behind whatever she could to make herself feel safe. We weren't sure about adopting her until we walked back to her kennel to see that her brother was currently being adopted. How could we leave the little babe all by herself!!! So I guess the rest is history. 
Kira has changed my life in so many ways. When we first got her I had to spend about a month with my mom and Tim. I didn't have any friends and everything felt pretty lonely, so having her by my side made life livable. Then, junior year of high school, out of the blue... I decided to apply at the doggy day care that Kira went to! (I was hired). Working there has given me such a better appreciation for dogs. There really isn't a way to take them for granted anymore. Every day that I go to work, it is impossible to go home without a smile on my face... I don't know.. This post seems really silly, but I wouldn't be where I am today without my dog. She is the most lovable, intelligent, sassy, yet perfect thing that has ever happened to me.

first post

Ahh!!! Can't believe I'm actually writing my first post on a real blog! I've thought about creating one for some time now and thought it might be silly, but who cares! This will be my new happy place. It'll be interesting to see what I make of it and all I can hope is that I keep up with it and it isn't just an interest that I lose within a month or so... So, here we go! Bare with me...
