Loving Life In Livingston: Our new family member

Welcome to our family blog

We have moved from our life long home in Idaho. Our whole lives have been turned upside down, and we are feeling a little bit disconnected. This blog is to keep our friends and family updated on what is happening in our lives in Livingston. I have found this site to be very calming and gives me some perspective into my own life. I know that with the help of our Father in Heaven things will work out. He knows what we need. As long as we are faithful and live the Gospel, we will be okay. "Okay" might not be what we have known "okay" to be, so we are also learning about flexibility. Life is a journey, wherever it leads us will be great as long as we are together and do our best in all that we do.

Our new family member - Shasta

When we left Middleton, we left our 2nd son who kept his (our) dog. I didn't have any idea how much I would miss having a dog! We waited for 2 months before we decided to move forward and make the commitment of adding a dog to our family. I didn't want a puppy, but also didn't want too old of a dog. We started visiting the local animal shelters. Technology is quite amazing, as we didn't even have to go the shelters to see what they had to offer. We were able to look at their web sites and wait until we found the kind of dog that we were interested in.

The dog that we decided on is a pit bull, chow,..... mutt type dog. She is 1 year old, and is such a sweet girl! Her name is Shasta, and believe it or not, she lives in our house. We have never had an indoor dog, but she is great to have around. We love her! I'm sure you will agree that she is the nicest dog you have ever seen!! Notice in the last picture that her tongue is black and pink.
