Thinking ahead

I just got off the phone with Kim (Shira). We always have really lively and animated phone calls, but I am particularly excited for a few reasons...

I showed Kim the picture I posted yesterday of Sedona... just taken at random. I had been getting a lot of complimentary remarks on it, and I thought it looked really good too. Kim agrees, and then of course I started thinking about what I have ahead of me with her.

We start our conformation career together in just a short 15 days. It's been since March that I last stepped foot into a ring. Not to mention, when I'm stepping into it, I'm stepping into a huge ass Specialty... (do you see where I'm going with this?) I'm starting to really get excited/nervous/scared all at the same time. I didn't have this feeling with Orion... I did with Kota and Ollie though. I guess maybe I had a gut feeling about Orion... *shrug*

Anyway... I guess I was looking at the picture and kind of looking to see where her chest might land once she's mature... just imagining her as a mature adult... wow. The thought took my breath away... I can't wait, on one hand, and I dont' want her to get another day older on the other!

She's 10 days from being 7 months old... where did the time go!?!?!

Not moving afterall... The apartment idea fizzled... really like the house and for the sake of the dogs and all, I'm going to stay in the house I"m in. A plus for me, since I wont' have to pack and move! ;-) First time I've not moved at the end of a lease... kind of weird.

I started digging for job leads again in Oregon and Washington (tho I definately think that Oregon is first on my list... ). Not feeling very hopeful, and am starting to wonder whether I'll have to move there first somehow....

Well, off to check in to the class.... that's another subject I'll save for another post... *sigh*
