On Saturday I will be bringing home a little Min Pin puppy to call my own. She is so tiny and is absolutely adorable. I am beginning preparations for her arrival this week, which includes obtaining toys, most of which I should be able to find around the house, buying a variety of healthy and natural treats in small amounts to see what she likes most, and setting up a few areas in the house where she can relax. The majority of little Zelda's (that is what I decided to name her) time when she first arrives will be spent in my room, where her crate will be set up. She will sleep in the room with me, since puppies tend to get lonely if they are not with someone. This way, I can calm her down through the night if she gets lonely. Plus, it is a great bonding experience for the both of us. I will spend my days loving on her and training her, which includes housebreaking and proper walking manners and how to behave in the house. I know this will be a difficult task to take on, but I know it will be more than worth it in the end when I have a perfectly well behaved and loving puppy to call my very own. Since Zelda will be my dog, all the responsibilities that come along with her care lay on me. This is a heavy burden, and one I have no choice but to shoulder since my dad isn't gung-ho on this whole idea of a puppy, thinking that I won't take care of her, but it is one that I am excited about and more than willing to follow through on. Here are a few pictures of my new tiny puppy.

I am so excited to bring her home to her new family, and so excited to train her and play with her all day long. I know that these next few months will not be easy, but they will be fun and rewarding.

More puppy stories to come in the future, I am sure :)

Thanks for putting up with me.

Forgiveness

It's something I have been struggling with, in terms of people who have hurt my best friend. I have held resentment against one person in particular, and recently I found out that they were just as deceived as my best friend. It had been bothering me that I had hated this person for so long and they were not at fault. And if God can forgive all of my sins and all the times I drifted away from Him, why can't I forgive this person for wronging my best friend in the past? So I sent them a Facebook message and apologized for harboring resentment towards them for wrongs they weren't even aware had occured. They were just as deceived as my best friend was. I truly forgave them, and it wasn't just something I said to feel better, because in all honesty, my resentment towards them didn't bother me. Not until today, when I was reading my devotional, did I even realize that I still hated them, and God laid it on my heart to forgive them. And I really did. I have no hard feelings towards them, and I wish them the best in life. That is ultimately the point of forgiveness. Not to admit that you are being unforgiving and being resentful, but at the end of the day, to wish them the best, and move past what they have done. That is all I have to say.

Thanks for putting up with me.

Not Quite the First...

Well here we are again, me back to blogging. This time I thought I would make a fresh start and create a whole new blog from which to rant about things and tell stories. Maybe I will even upload videos or pictures or tutorials. I'm not quite sure what this blog will be used for exactly, but I know it will include rantings.
          Consider this a little taste of what is to come. I am not exactly sure what to type about here, since it is very late into the night, and I am beyond tired, but I am trying to formulate coherent thoughts to put here. Not exactly sure if it is working.
           Today I successfully did nothing except eat 5 cinnamon rolls and a third of a bag of hot cheetos and some leftover pasta. I also watched Safety Not Guaranteed, simply because Aubrey Plaza was in it (need I more reason?). I also video chatted with my amazing and handsome boyfriend, as we do every night from 10 to midnight his time. He lives in South Carolina, and we have only met once and that was in March. However we started talking December 30th. Our three month anniversary is coming up, but I'm getting off of whatever topic I was on.
            I tried to do fancy colored french tips on my nails, but it got so messed up I just took it all of and did my basic black with an accent nail. Today it is purple with black and white polka dots. Now I sit here and type about nothing to no one in particular. This is what I have come to after all my 17 years of life.
           As I mentioned earlier, I do have another blog that I used to use back in the day. If you are interested in seeing what a middle schooler and early high school student would blog about, you can check it out at http://jainasblog.blogspot.com. I'm warning you, it's pretty atrocious and laughable.
            I used to have a little sign off phrase I would end with before my signature, and I am not exactly sure if I will continue that standard, since I cannot think of a phrase I would want to say over and over again. I don't think I even have a phrase I say continuously, other than "I'm hungry" or "I'm tired" or "I miss you". So, I'm just going to come up with one, right on the spot, and if I like it next time I write a post, I will use it again, and so on and so forth. So here this post ends, and may it be the first of many useless and meaningless posts to which I will be addressing, as I am assuming, no one in particular and maybe even no one at all. That is, of course, me assuming that no one will ever read this blog, which would be much like what happened to my last blog as you can probably see if you looked at it.
            Time to end this post once and for all.


Thanks for putting up with me.
