My Bella

I am feeling a bit nostalgic today. It could be the weather...dark and gloomy. It could be that the realization that I will be a married woman in 78 days is hitting me, or perhaps the fact that my last day working at a job I abhor is in 19 days. It could be that I am moving in with my fiance (sorry honey) in less than a month, and I am apprehensive to see what it might do to our relationship. It could be that I have so much on my plate, so little time, and SO MUCH CHANGE. Anyways, all I want is my puppy Bella.

Speaking of change...Bella is turning two this year (September 14th). It is hard to believe...but when I look back on just how little she was, it makes me a little sad.

Here is Bella the day I brought her home <3







She was soooo cute!!










Then my baby grew up.









It's hard to explain how much I adore this little white fluff ball. Some people think that I am projecting my feelings I would have for a baby onto Bella. This could be it. However, I know that it isn't me taking care of Bella, rather its the other way around. Bella takes care of me. I understand that a baby would rely on me for its nurturing. Where as Bella nurtures me. Bella seems to understand what I am feeling. She knows when her mommy needs a snuggle. She knows when I need to get up. During the entire time we were house hunting I was willing to give up everything, save one thing. I HAD to have a yard for my Bella. A nice fenced in yard where she can run and play fetch. We gave up square footage. Closet space. Even an urban neighborhood, so that we could give Bella this:



And I am so glad we did. I cannot wait to bring her home and to show her her new back yard. =)

Love you boo boo face <3.
