Gabriel...Guardian DOG?

Just a few weeks old here

Last October my husband and I got our first puppy together.  He is the cutest German Shepherd you will ever see.  We got him from a litter of 4, and he was the only male...and I think the runt.  We really wanted a boy, and it totally worked out because he has such an awesome temperament.  We named him Gabriel for obvious reasons..German Shepherds are guard dogs after all :).  
He has been everywhere with us, traveled across the country, almost literally.  He is such a good sport for being so cool riding in the car all those hours and hours.  From California to Pennsylvania.  He has probably visited more states in his short 10 months than a lot of people do in 10 years.  Born in Northern California to "parents" who are both imported from Germany, we have taken him to Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, and Virginia.  You could say he is a seasoned traveler. hehe  
Right now my husband is out of town, so it has just been me and Gabriel at home.  Boy..I tell you what, waking up early to take him on walks and play in the morning has been nothing short of rewarding.  The first day I was kind of dreading having to get up earlier than usual :), but I am glad I did.  He happens to be the silliest pup I have ever met. :o)    
Last night reminded me of how happy and thankful I am to have him in our life.  We had just taken a walk and eaten dinner when lots of storm and tornado warnings started going off.  I put him in the basement and went upstairs to relax for a little bit.  The rain started coming and then the wind, so I hurried and went down to the main floor and checked outside to make sure everything was ok.  I heard a super loud sound and the rain stopped and everything was still, so I ran like nobodies business to the basement.  I already hate storms as it is, but being alone made it even more uncomfortable for me.  I sat on the couch and turned the radio on trying to listen to weather reports when the power suddenly went out.  It was pitch dark, and all I had was Gabriel to keep me company.  We sat there for a while waiting, I was really hoping the power would come back on, and it never did.  I was pretty scared.  Don't know what it is about a dark house at night time with no one home that is so uncomfortable, but lets just say if it wasn't for Gabers things could have been worse for me.haha  So glad I had him with me.

I love that darn goofy dog.  He happens to be my very favorite furry friend in the whole widest world.  He didn't really "guard" me last night, but I think he is quite capable.hehe

The Questions...

Do we choose to let our past define our future?  How do we live for today?  How do we find peace when we are living in fear?  Should we embrace change or run from it?  Those heartaches... how do we heal?  Where do we turn?  Is anyone on our side?  Will we ever survive these trials, these battles, these valleys?  How do we get back up? Questions that everyone will ask themselves at some point in their journey through life.  Who do you run to?  Who do you trust?  Where do you find your hope?  Family, friends, neighbors, preachers, teachers, counselors, social media, alcohol, drugs?  I think we have all fallen and crawled to the path of least resistance only to find ourselves in more despair.  The "easy" way out isn't always so. We must be broken.  We must be shattered.  We must be torn.  We must be shaken.  We must be molded. The only place to find true peace, true love, true happiness, true jo...

my intentions:)

Once again, I am writing in hopes to encourage myself to be a little more intentional about keeping up with this little blog I started 6 years ago.   In my short journey with the twins and G, I have searched the internet for any and all advice, info, reviews, and help in the form of blogs, forums, and videos.  There is plenty of all of that out there, but to my dismay I haven't found a lot of what I have been searching for.  My hopes in writing about our family's experiences and opinions, is that another mom or family with similar dynamics as ours will find it helpful.  I may not attract anyone here, and that's fine too.  I really just want to be able to look back in a few years and be able to smile about the journey.   A few things I hope to blog about are: Postpartum blues Marriage with infant twins and a 3 yr old Breastfeeding Twins Domestic travel with infant twins & 3 yr old International travel with twins & 3 yr old A day in t...
