Recently, this pride issue has been rearing its ugly head a bit. You see, I also have a tendency to not be content as well and usually these two traits like to pal around together. As in, I may think less of the job that I do or where I am because I am worried about what others think about it. Or as I am looking to move, I may not want to live in one location because it's not a "nice" as I think I would like. See, pride.
Most often my discontentness occurs because I am not being thankful. I am usually just being selfish. Yuck. What an honest moment when I realized this. Right now I feel like I am being taught a lesson in humility and, yet another, lesson in control. When I stop worrying about what other people think or get rid of my elitist attitude about that I think is good enough, I'm very content. I'm very happy. I'm satisfied and I'm grateful.
You see, I am here for a purpose. Sometimes I forget that and its in those times I am not grateful. I'm working on it.
But on a lighter note: WE GOT A PUPPY!
Ah, can't believe it! We pick her up on Saturday. I'm afraid we have no idea what we got ourselves into. So, if you have any advice on raising a puppy I'd be more than happy to read it...and we need a name. Suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Don't worry there will be more pictures soon!

OH MY WORD SHE IS SO CUTE!
It's a fun experience. I am assuming when you say WE you mean this will be a joint adventure with Jake? :) People always say puppies are a lot of work, and sure they are... but it's work you want to do! It has such big rewards. Excited for you.. I'll be thinking of a name. Right now I just want to call her LOVIE because of her adorable face.
