Week 3

Today is the start of week 3. Run/walk 25 minutes. I just can NOT believe it is already week 3!

We had such a wonderful, peaceful weekend! After working the basketball game on Friday night, we slept in Saturday morning and stayed home for most of the day. I finished a book (The Shack, it was amazing!) and Adam played guitar and XBox. That night, we went to Texas Roadhouse on a date! I don't know the last time we went out just the two of us, and we had a really good time. Sunday was church, and then we went and saw The Lovely Bones. Not a good movie, but I had a lot of fun with my sisters! Today we went to Longview AGAIN to get a few things from Hobby Lobby. (I love that place!)

So when we got back (around 5), I went for my run. I was about halfway through when this large woman on a 4- wheeler comes flying up my driveway. She was out looking for her dog. She let him out to potty earlier that afternoon and he didn't come back. When I asked what he looked like, she said he was a little pug and he was wearing a blue jacket. "Okay, I'll keep an eye out," I said. She responded, "Let me show you a picture so you'll know what he looks like." She then proceeded to flip through her cell phone to find a picture of him. We live in the middle of nowhere. Any small dog is going to be an inside dog, and the outfit DEFINITELY would catch my eye. But oh no, she had to show me SEVERAL pictures of this little guy just to make sure I knew what he looked like from every angle. I started to say, "How 'bout this? Any dog I see with clothes on, I'll run it by ya." But I just didn't have the heart.

She went on about her business, and maybe five minutes later I stopped and took Diesel inside. Adam told me that while we were gone, our neighbor came by to tell us he found a dog and to see if we knew who he belonged to. I said, "Did he have on a blue jacket?" And what do you know... he did! (The dog, not our neighbor, though I didn't ask what HE was wearing...)

Anyway, I had already unknowingly sent the lady down to his house, so we are assuming the little guy in the blue jacket made it home safely!
