After almost a month of being back on my own, I felt lonely for the first time last night. I haven't lived by myself before. I think there will be pros and cons. For example, the other day I cleaned the whole bathroom in the buff. I got out of the shower, saw the toilet needed to be cleaned, cleaned it, then proceeded to clean the whole bathroom. As I was finishing up I realized that I had just cleaned the whole bathroom nude and the concept never once crossed my mind! Well, I thought, that's what happens when you live alone.... Then last night lonliness set in, the con of living alone (not that cleaning the bathroom naked is necessarily a pro...). Sometimes when I feel lonely, I call someone, or find something to distract myself with. Other times, like last night, it's like I'm determined to overcome it all on my own. I don't call anyone, I don't put on a movie...I just try to bear it and work through it....like I'm trying to prove to myself that it's OK, I'm tough, I can handle it. Is anyone else like that? Or am I just wierd? However, the really great thing is that I have my sweet Sadie girl! We had a good snuggle and that was nice. She's up for lovin' anytime, any place, anywhere. She has been the best Colorado buddy to me! Here we are up in Winter Park at my family's favorite breakfast spot! We have lots of fun vacation memories here so we all drove up when my parents were here in July. Isn't she the sweetest?

Hi Girl... darling picture of you and your great dog! I think you are one amazing lady and quite the adventurer. Love that about you! There are way too many mirrors in my bathroom to clean in the nude... ha! (but way to go with the moment, girl!) I'm praying for you and am excited to see how God works in this chapter of your life! Love, Sarah
Loved this post! You're so real... thanks. So glad you have your sweet Sadie to keep you company!
Sorry I didn't call last night... got in late, and decided I'd try you today sometime.... so, talk to you soon!
Love,
Jodi
Your "best" Colorado buddy?!?! Ouch. That hurts. I'll try harder.
- Your second-best Colorado buddy, Dave
Dear "Second Best Colorado Buddy,"
If you want to hang out with me every night, go watch me set up my classroom every day, go hiking with me, take walks with me, and snuggle....THEN you can be my best buddy. Until then, Sadie wins. P.S. Sorry if this post had more information than a brother would want to know! :)
