Our August was full of firsts, good times and sad. Coy started kindergarten on the 5th. Hooray! Coy has been looking forward to this for two years. He now rides the bus and gets to eat in the cafeteria. He loves it and can’t wait to tell me all about his day.
I had an exciting first at work. I got to assist in a spay and neuter, with the vet that comes in to the shelter. I was really nervous because the thought of blood makes me faint. I prayed a few times before I got started, but to my surprise I not only did well, I loved it. I didn’t get to do too much but it was fun. I don’t get to help on a regular basis yet, but hopefully in the future I will be.
Jon has had weekends off this month, so we have gone camping and gone out of town to see friends, we haven’t seen in a long time. I love when Jon is home on the same days as me. We never just sit around the house. We always have something planned.
Now for the sad part, our rabbit Toby died this month. I thought we’d have him for 15 years but he only made it 5. He got a cold and I thought he’d get better, but instead he died 3 days after getting sick. We had a big talk about death and had a little funeral for him. The boys took it pretty well.
On the 28th, my Granny past away. It wasn’t too much of a shock, because she had not been doing well for about a month. She was a wonderful Granny and always had a way of making me feel special. We got very close while she lived near me for 6 years, right after I married Jon. I saw her often and built a great relationship with her. She moved back to Phoenix a few years ago, so I didn’t get to see her as often. I feel fortunate that I had those six years with her. But I feel sad that the boys will never know her, the way I do.
