Where does the time go?

Wow. I have really been M.I.A. these past few weeks. I never intended to take a blogging break but I guess some things just have to give every now and then. Craig has been traveling. A.LOT. You would think that after 23 years of this I would be used to it. Most trips I am just fine, but lately, it's been hard. Now, I am not one to cry myself to sleep over things I can't control, but, I have shed a few tears this last week. Mainly because Ragan has been sick. And I mean sick for weeks now. Just when it seems she is feeling better, she comes down with something again. We had her in the doctor last Monday and got some medicine, so hopefully things will start to turn around. I guess it doesn't matter how old they get, you still worry. In addition to that, our old doggy, Rudy, had some sort of a seizure or something. He couldn't focus his eyes and he was stumbling around. It was really sad. Craig came home early from work and we seriously discussed taking him to the vet to be put down. Then all of a sudden, he seemed to do a little better. We decided to wait and watch. Every day for the past 4 days he has improved to the point that he is back to his normal self. We are calling it a miracle. We are also making sure that we are thankful for him everyday....seeing as he turned 14 this month, we do realize that his days are numbered. So, all of this has taken an emotional toll. I need a nice long nap. Maybe then I will feel like getting some things done! :) On a much happier and positive note, Mark has had his first baptism already. He was so excited. We are very proud of him! Craig will be returning home tonight and I am so glad. He promised me that he would build me something tomorrow. Boy, do I ever have a list for him! haha! Have a nice weekend~
