Beach trip
because of my iPad issues, I never got around to posting about our annual vacation with our best friends and their little ones (the nephews.)
We visited Carolina Beach in North Carolina for the week of July 4 and it was a blast. We had tons of fun in our private salt water pool, made and ate good meals, collected sea shells, some of us got new tattoos (not Jason or Jackson, I promise!) checked out the aquarium, shopped a little bit in Wilmington, went to the Wilmington children's museum...etc.
This trip was a real eye opener for me in the way that I was living my life. I realized that I was unhappy in my own home and decided it was time to change that. While I never look back and regret my past, because it shapes who I am as a person, there are always things that I wish I didn't have to endure...and breakups are always one of those things. In the end, you know it's better, but it's hard as hell to get through. Anyway. I realized that needed to happen while at the beach. Time for me time, time to put myself first, etc.
Here are a few beach favorites 😍
painting classes
I know that I have posted before about the painting classes that I have been taking, but these are really different.
There is a local place here in culpeper that does monthly "Paint your Pet," classes.
I've had so much fun learning new techniques from the instructors there and painting some awesome pics of my babies!

Adjusting to our new life!
These two have been momma's little rock stars and have helped me keep it together through the worst of times!
It did take some adjustment for them to have ONLY me around, to learn to walk/run on hard wood floors, etc, but they are doing great...and honestly, so am I!!
Pictures! Yay!
It took me forever. But I finally figured out how to post pics from my iPad to blogger! So excited. It's been a long time and a lot has happened in the last six months, so hang in there with me as I try and catch up on things!

Quick update on life...
It's been a while.
I'm still figuring out our "new," life in our little cabin in the woods, the new job, being a "single" dog momma of two, etc.
Osc and Lucy are doing fabulously and even though we have struggled a little with having to find new room mates to try and bring down my overhead cost...new jobs...ex boyfriends...drama in general....the three of us are OK!!
I could not do what I've done and would not be who I am without these two little ten-pounders. They always know when momma doesn't feel good and when to be crazy, silly little pups who jump and do back flips just to get a few laughs from me.
I was in a pretty bad car accident on 10/9 and missed some time from work and they were fortunate enough to have their grandma here with them to play and snuggle. I'm doing a lot better now, and my car is back from the dead (unfortunately...I was really hoping that they would total it!)
I'm working my butt off, painting a lot (even done a few craft/art shows and opened up a small etsy shop to sell my paintings! Www.facebook.com/paintingwithpain or paintingwithpain.blogspot.com) and spending a lot of nights cuddled up with the pups.
I've been seeing someone for a little while and Oscar and Lucy love him, and so does Jackson...so really the guy has a lot going for him already ;)
That's all I really have to say about the last couple months. I hope that in 2016 I can manage to post a little more frequently and with more photos (which would mean I'd have to get my laptop up and running!) and that I can continue to work, doing what I love, and paint and spend as much time as possible with family, friends and loved ones...because you never know when you might not have the chance anymore. If nothing else, my accident taught me that!!
So since its 3 days until Christmas I'm going to go ahead and say Merry Christmas and a Happy 2016 to all of you and Blog About my Dog will see you in January!!
