black friday took on new meaning for us this year as we had to put our big guy down that day...i will spare you the details but we could not put him through anymore and it was time for him to go see jesus...it was horrible and no matter even if you know you are doing the right thing you can't help feeling wrong to say goodbye of your own doing...we COULD NOT let him suffer anymore but i will cry over him the rest of my life...he never took his eyes off me and i never took my eyes off him...
i still hear him in the house, we've seen him, we plan for him...palmer still talks about him in the present tense like "i have to put my gingerbread house up high in my room so hunter doesn't eat it"...it will take a while to get used to this...not sure i will ever REALLY get used to it as i have had him my whole "adult" life...
[incidentally my sister in law just wrote a book about the life of her beloved dog boris that you may want to check out]
so since it's been almost two months let's go bullet style here...
*went back to the states for a marathon visit with multiple locations and shorts amount of time...don't want to do it that way again! - but it WAS great to see everyone especially my grandparents!
*started running (again) on december 26th, only 3 months to xterra guam...my resolution is to actually work out for 3 straight months without pulling couch duty for weeks at a time like i ALWAYS DO and lose everything i work for! - might even try to hit xterra saipan two weeks before that...
*will force myself to update this at least once a week, and remember to send pictures to my grandparent's spiffy new wi-fi frame! - no downloading required?
*i did the bull shark dive in fiji in november...very cool but really want to go back and do it again with bear in high season...(blew my camera up too...must rent a good one to take or something!)
*we go the xbox kinect - it's hilarious and surprisingly hard work!...can't WAIT for the micheal jackson experience to come out in february!...bear can NOT move his hips...it's a sight to see...
*we didn't send christmas cards this year...i wasn't organized enough with the dog's failing health and we left right after we put him down so we didn't have to sit here in the empty house and i forgot my address book and had no pictures...the nice thing is we are gonna send new address cards out anyways! - we FINALLY have local mail instead of a p.o. box in downtown hagatna!
*in an effort to catch up i may just post random things out of order...deal with it...it's MY blog!
