 Earthquake! Well not really but that's what it felt like. There is construction going on which we are all really excited about! There is going to be a Public off leash Dog Park behind the Cache Humane Society. Although we are all very happy to see progress being made on it, the loud big trucks shake the walls at the shelter and send the animals going crazy! Needless to say that we are all wanting it to be done now

We made gingerbread houses tonight! It was a lot of fun and they turned out wonderfully. One of the things we had to decorate our houses with was Fruit Striped gum. Kristin opened it to use it and once she did and I smelled it and it "smelled like childhood"

Yesterday was my moms birthday! We had her dinner at Artic Circle and I ate some delucious sweet potatoe fries. We went home And opened presents. And in one of the presents she opened my dad put darts and balls in which he used as "packing msterial". Anyways my mom started throwing  them at Grandpa and Grandma and of course they threw it right back. Needless to say there was a big mess to clean up when they were done!

In case you don't know, I LOVE my job. I am (now officially) a manager at the Cache Humane Society and I can't think of a better place to work. I love the people, the animals, my duties. I'm there everyday even when I'm not scheduled to be.
Today I went in to try and get caught up on some paperwork but that didn't happen. It was surgery day today, and we spay/neuter about 35 animals every surgery day we have. So I ended up holding the animals to keep them warm and make sure they came out of the drugs okay. Mind you that this is not complaining! I love to cuddle with them. The sweet dog was just a puppy when she was at the shelter and came back to get fixed. Last time I saw her she was less then 5 pounds. Now look at her! It's so fun to see the dog that you feel in love with, get adopted and then to see them come back a couple weeks/months later all happy, healthy and full of life. A lot of the time they remember me and it makes my day! It is also wonderful to get a chance to talk to the owners. To hear all of the cute stories about them and just how much they love their new addition to the family!

I was at work yesterday, putting away a dessert tree, when I saw myself in the mirror. I kinda stood there for a minute just looking at myself. Yeah I look in the mirror when I am getting ready but I never look at me. My first reaction was "Dang. I'm 21. When did that happen? When did I grow up? Where did the time go? I still feel like I should be in the 10th grade. I've done nothing with life." But then I looked again and for the first time in a long time I smiled, a real genuine smile, and was happy about where I am. I was happy about what I'm doing in life. I realized that I am happy with me. I know it sounds stupid but that moment was the highlight of my day.
