that dog...

Seriously, I feel like it's been the longest week EVER. And it's not even Friday yet. Work has been easy, but slow. School is over as of Wednesday, which is nice, but now that just means I need to cram in learning Algebra, Geometry, a little Calculus, and some critical thinking skills in order to do well on GMAT and continue my graduate career. 
Needless to say, this week has been blah. And it shouldn't have been. I mean, come on, we took engagement pictures (sort of) this Tuesday. That almost deserves a post by itself, but I don't feel like it. It was hot as hell (literally, I should have capitalized that because I truly mean the place), and I hadn't felt 100% that day anyway, plus the fact I was nervous. All these things led to me fainting (well, almost fainting). We were taking pictures by the reservoir and I guess I locked my knees (I don't really remember, Justin just assumed) and all of a sudden, I knew I was fading fast. Whenever I think of passing out, I think of it as a process that, in my mind, takes AT LEAST a minute or two. But whenever it happens, it's like fifteen seconds from me realizing somethings wrong to me being on the ground (in an ant bed, in my new white dress. ugh). Thankfully, our photographer did not keep clicking, but instead helped Justin play nurse (he had always started to study for medical school, so he was a really good nurse). So anyway, we got a solid hour of pictures, but will have to reschedule. If you're nice, I might post some when he's finished with them.


Anyway, that was not the point of this post. The point was to share with you this video that makes me happy, cry, and appreciate what I have and who I have. Also, this is where my (er, our) puppy's name came from. I saw this video years ago when looking for Jimmy Stewart type stuff online, and fell in love. Jimmy Stewart is someone I grew up with (thanks to my dad) on the TV, either in a wheelchair window pepping or a country lawyer or my all time favorite a guy with a six foot five rabbit as his best friend (sorry for the rambling). Ever since I've seen this video, I've wanted a dog named Beau (and Justin added the x for a little LSU flair).

I have to warn you, this video will make you cry (and if it doesn't tug at your heart strings, don't tell me because I don't want to be your friend anymore). This always makes me feel better (after having a happy cry) when I'm feeling blah, but have no reason to be. 
Hope you enjoy it, and then go kiss and hug and appreciate your loved ones and the pup too. Because that's exactly what I did last night when I was feeling blue for no reason and wanted something to make me feel better. Beaux and Justin always know what to do.
Seriously, what more could you want from man (and woman)'s best friend?
