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.
Christmas was different this year than usual. Nothing was normal, but I still loved it.
27 out of 30 years of Christmases, I have had a live Christmas tree that has been cut down by someone adjacent to me. I am dedicated to having one even though I have allergies. Beau loves coming with to help pick one out. This is the first year in our house, and I picked the chonkiest, tallest tree possible. IT'S HUGE!!!
