RaeAnna + A Nerdy Lifestyle
A year ago last Friday, I picked a heavily pregnant dog up off the street. I ended up keeping her and raising her thirteen puppies. I accidentally kept four of those puppies. I had no idea how much my life would change when I brought her home, but I am a better person because of it.
Last Saturday, Tess celebrated her second birthday with cake and a party hat. She also gave me quite the surprise and made me spend a good chunk of money at the vet to make sure she was okay... Yay... rescues!
Don't get me wrong, 2020 was the worst, but it brought a lot of wonderful things into my life. I'm choosing to look back on the good of last year instead of the atrocious.
I was hoping for an amazing start to the '20s. Instead a global pandemic arrived two months later, changing the social, economic, cultural, and all the other landscapes of the world. I have never been one for resolutions or goals, but I have hopes for 2021, and I will keep those in mind in the coming days and months.
I got to visit Vienna last month. No, I didn't make it to Europe. My Vienna is in Iowa with my best friend. She's in one of eight perfect homes nine of my thirteen puppies found. They are living their best lives, and I couldn't be happier for them.
My quarantine hasn't been filled with finding a new passion, getting in shape, writing the next great American novel, or baking sourdough bread. I haven't been able to be apart of #isolationcreation the way I wish I could've been. My version was raising the puppies.
