I am glad to know all you wonderful people! It is amazing how this thing called the internet connects us all like we were just next door!

Aly, You will find the next addition to your house when the timing is right. The Bible tells us that "all things work together for good to those who love the Lord..." Romans 8:28 When things don't always make sense I find myself relying on this promise of God's. He has never let me down so far and I'm sure he has plans for you too that you just can't see yet. Keep up the good fight. You won't regret it in the end.

I'm glad you will be taking obedience classes with the shelter dog. I find obedience work very theraputic!
