Sea Change #BHBC

Thanks to BlogHer Book Club, this month was spent reading Sea Change by Jeremy Page - a story of a man, Guy, whose past continues to haunt his future.

Initially this book was hard to connect to, but the more I read, the more I realized how much of myself I saw in Guy. There have been quite a few moments in my life that I wondered how things would have turned out if they had gone differently. While I have never gone as far as re-writing the past in so much detail as Guy, I do admit I have thought about the different outcomes on occasion.

After reading about Guy’s heartache for most of the book, the last 30+ pages were a nice change and actually my favorite part of the book. If you decide to pick up this book, I would urge you to stick it out through the tough parts and finish the book!

What I Wore Wednesday

Goodness, is it really Wednesday already? While I am thankful for it {almost} being half way through the work week, I kind of have a lot on my to-do list at work and not enough time to finish it. Here's to hoping time might slow down just enough to get things done!

Linking up with The Pleated Poppy for WIWW fun!

Lily's First Dog Park

Since Friday was a holiday for both Sam & I {thank you to all the veterans out there!}, we took advantage of the free time to take Lily to her first dog park!

We'd both been a little hesitant to take her in the past because she's a small dog and is still learning to listen to us when we call. So when we arrived at the park, instead of letting her run free like most of the other dogs there, we decided to keep her on her leash and slowly get her used to the large number of dogs she'd meet there.


There was one trail around the dog park that was almost deserted, so we let Lily run leash-free for a little bit, making sure we weren't too far away from her though. This might have been her favorite part of the day - dog & leash-free :)


We already have future plans to get Lily out to the dog park again, in hopes that she'll become more socialized around other dogs & people. She's really a sweet pup, but can just be a little protective and sometimes skiddish around others. Here's to more dog park visits!
