I promised to get a photo of our new family member up real quick, so here it is. This is Bella, and she is the sweetest dog in the world!!

New Puppy

So we have a new member of the Lusk-Wallace Family. My mom got Tucker a 4 month old female Dachshund that we have named Bella! She is so great! Tucker and her have been running around the backyard playing nonstop. Today we took her to Kiesel Park and allowed her to become acquainted with other dogs. Our friends Matt and Joelle joined us with their two dogs, Buster and Kiwi. Well, Bella was not to pleased with the other dogs at first. She gets along with people better than dogs, but eventually she warmed up with all of our help. We had a great time, and I am just so thankful for Tucker to have a friend. I will put a picture of her up real soon.

Disappointment

I am just writing this to vent and I am going to be really vague about details because I don't want any assumptions made about people. I found today to be a really disappointing one. I have been totally side swiped by someone that I thought was a better person. This person exhibited very childish behavior and just seems to be completely against me despite the fact I did nothing to them. I guess I am just upset because I thought things were better than they are and this person is just picking at a scab and ripping the wound open. I have tried to just not say anything and stir stuff up, but this never stops. I hope this ends and I can move on with my life. I am just going to continue to pray for peace on both sides.

Prayers for my brother

Just wanted to ask for prayers for my brother. He is in the hospital with a rather large blood clot in his arm. They do not know what is causing the blood clot and others to show up. He is on 2 different types of blood thinners and his blood is still thick. They are unsure how all of this is happening and until it is under control, he must remain in the hospital. So if you read this blog and get the chance, pray for his recovery!
