I'm going to try again...!

I really need to keep up with this better, so since I am awake I thought I would just write a quick update. I am doing very well out here in Colorado, although have friends, family, and boyfriend back in South Dakota does make some days harder than others...especially with new baby Josie! I am flying home for the holidays on December 19th and I seem to be counting the days. I have begun to have a bit of a social life here which is good, because I was a little bit lost at the beginning when Joel left. Getting out of the comfort zone of my little apartment has proved to do me some good! I am meeting lots of new people here in Castle Rock and have started to explore the town little by little. There are so many neat shops here and just little places to visit. I am also having a lot of fun with Leiya. Being a puppy mommy is a little more challenging than I thought it would be, but it is worth it. We have started puppy classes and she is actually doing very well. It is up to me to practice her training with her. She knows how to get the treats out of me so she is getting to be a little pudgy!! One of my friends has a puppy in the class too, so we do playdates with them and we hang out and have wine! It's fun! That's about all I know for now!
