Hard to believe it's been a year since my last post. Truth is, there were plenty of times I felt like blogging, however, every time I went to do so, I saw my last post, read it, and didn't want it to become just another post. As time went by, I felt like I'd wait and come back and reassess things after a year.
I recently told Mrs McGoo that Monday, the 19th, was a year since Kodi had passed away. A lot has happened in that time, yet it still seems like it was a a few weeks ago that it happened. Still miss the guy like crazy and there are so many times I still look when I wake up in the morning to see if he is laying on his bed.
I still miss ya buddy.
So it has been a year since I last blogged and I figured I would document (somewhat) what has gone on in our lives since the last time I posted.
- I met one of my lifelong goals last December by graduating from college and, in fact, did it in three and a half years. Really big thanks goes out to Mrs. McGoo for being an incredible supporter of the venture. Honestly, it is something I had wanted to do for a long time and never thought it would be possible.
- After Kodi passed away, we felt like we wanted to wait for the right time to get another dog. I wanted to really be able to grieve and also give Dexter a lot of time and attention that I felt like he should get. However, we realized after a while, Dex didn't like the idea of being alone. All Dex has ever known was having a brother to play with around the house, so when we left the house, Dex was all alone. He started acting out a lot and tearing things up, which led us to believe he was lonely. So we talked and felt like it was a good time to get him another brother.
Enter "Tango" our new puppy. There is a story behind how we went about getting him and how we came up with his name, but I'll save that for another blog. Needless to say, he's been a great addition to the family.
- Mission Trips to Ethiopia and Uruguay.
- Mrs. McGoo one more year of Nursing school.
- Obama re-elected
Hopefully a lot more happening in the next year. If the Mayans were wrong...
I'm confident they were.
Until next time.
