happy days

Hello world!

Three blogs this month so far, amazing I know! ;) Few things have gone on since I last blogged. We are still adjusting to losing Leo :( I keep feeling like we've lost a child, I guess in a way we sort of have since we love all our animals like they were our kids. I finally made myself clean out Leo's cage this week, Kiah just sat on her pot and watched the whole time :( Poor little girl, she knows something is wrong and that he isn't there, but we've been trying to cuddle her and give her lots of love so she doesn't get too lonely. She kind of clammed up for a little bit and quit coming out and night and quit making noises at night, shes starting to come out of that a little more lately though which makes me feel a little bit better. Danny's been holding her a lot more lately and seems to be warming up to her, I think it makes him feel a little bit better that she cuddles up to him. Its cute watching them bond :)
On a happier note, work has been going amazingly lately. The only thing that could make it better would be getting more hours and being full time haha. I've started training to become a veterinary assistant and I'm almost finished learning everything on that list, I just have to be more comfortable with everything on it, and be able to answer the phones regularly and check in the patients. Both things I've seen done plenty of times, I just need to work on it on my own so that I can do it myself! Hopefully if I work really hard I can get to the point of a vet assistant before we leave for christmas break and come back in January as a vet assistant :) I really love getting to learn all this new stuff though, it makes me enjoy work so much more than I did just cleaning everyday. I love getting to actually work with the animals and do more technically things like drawing up vaccinations and doing the blood work. Makes me feel much more official :)
I'm also excited because I finally get to take Danny on our surprise date this weekend :) I've been waiting since like last month! We are going to a little pumpkin patch here in town to get our first pumpkins together :) and I'm going to pack a picnic for us to have there after we get our pumpkins hehe complete with home made caramel apples :) assuming they turn out anyway! lol I'm going to make sure to bring our camera too so we can take lots of pictures :) Hopefully it doesn't rain on our parade!! :D
