Guess Who's Home!!





Bosley is here!!! :D :D :D :D I'm so glad to finally have our last family member join us out here in Spain. Whe he first saw us he didn't even move... he was all quiet in his cage. Then once we got down and looked in his eyes he started crying and whining and licking our hands (until we released him). He missed us and we sure missed him. He was content on the drive home, sitting in between Josh and I then trekking back to Noah every once in awhile. We let him run in the yard when we got home and then all took him on a long walk (like Cesar Milan says). Now he's enjoying his free reign of a big yard and a big house. He mostly is just following Noah and Tristan around (and me... he's my dog). I'm so glad he's happy! I uploaded a couple videos. I didn't get one at the airport because it was a lot more running around than I thought it would be. It took us nearly 2 hours to finally get him. But, he's here!! I know he'll love Spain and I have picked out a daily walking route for me & the kids. The shoulder is wide enough for all of us to fit and there's some great hills to assist me in toning my post-baby body. Josh is leaving tomorrow and having Bos here is going to make me feel much safer. He might not be a guard dog, but he's a sure-fire alarm dog haha. Thank you again Heather, Jeff & Sheena.




he looks like he's thanking God ;)

These are wonderful photos, I love the third one where he's looking up. That is the best illustration of happy contentment that I've ever seen. I'm so happy too!

Allie Update

Though I have been depressed, life is trudging on. I had my 7mo baby appointment and everything is right on track. I'm 28wks and 5 days along. My belly is a whopping 29cm. I didn't get any guff about losing a little weight. My blood pressure wasn't high this time. My sugar test came back normal. I've got a little sciatica so the doc gave me some stretches to try out. She also suggested I finally cash in those 2 prenatal massage certificates I got for my birthday. Other than that, everything looks good. Noah got to press the button to find the baby's heartbeat. He loves this doctor, she always includes him. My friend Brandon, kind soul that he is, showed up yesterday to mow my lawn. He didn't just mow, though. He brought all his own equipment, including gas... he edged and weed whacked and blew all the clippings away. He went over the lawn twice so that everything would be mulched up pretty well. I couldn't believe how nice my yard looked. I

Victim Triangle

Image
Thought I would share this on here since I've shared it with at least 3 people individually at this point.  I've been working on  establishing and maintaining healthy personal boundaries  so any instance in my life where I have unhealthy boundaries have been really obvious.  Still not great at dealing with those instances, but I'm getting better all the time.  While I'm working, this keeps popping up at different times to illustrate my inter/intra-personal communication cycles that need to be broken. https://www.karpmandramatriangle.com/ The hardest part for me has been recovering from taking responsibility for everyone's emotional state.  I would feel immense pressure to involve myself in other peoples' triangles, thinking I had to play the mediator role.  I would get intense feelings of anxiety, thinking about their expectations of me to fix their relationship... or feel it was my duty to point out if I saw an issue (without ever being asked or expected

Enough Planning, More Doing

I've been researching, reading about, diving into, writing about, and thinking about building confidence and self-trust for about 8 years now. It's time to get more intentional and active about it. I think I'm ready to move into that phase finally. I have a tendency to take in information and keep mulling it over, writing and expounding upon this that and the other, but now it's time for an actual plan. An action plan. I understand the problem as much as I can from the outside looking in. Now it's time to create learning opportunities: to make mistakes and deal with the consequences or to achieve something and deal with the praise. That's the next phase of learning... doing . So today I am creating a specific list of tasks that I have to do in the months ahead that specifically target insecurities and seek to force me to deal with the reality of those insecurities. The goal is to be able to build resilience  by proving my old voices wrong with a stack of accompl
