Ellie Belle

Meet, Ellie Belle … our new Great Shepherd.  She’s a breed of Great Dane + German Shepherd … and I’m sure you’re wondering, “What in the WORLD were they thinking?” Well, we weren’t thinking to be quite honest with you. 😉

Both romanticized by the fact that I’ve been out of the hospital for 6-weeks – we picked her up one day at our favorite flea market in Grandview, Texas. They were giving these beautiful girls away for FREE, so I shot hubby a text and he called immediately. “You want that puppy?” No, Eddy. We literally don’t need more on our plates … “I think we should get her.” 

And because I’m a sucker for babies of any kind right now, I let him make the decision … so we became:

“Frys, Party of 5.”

She’s been such a joy … even though all of my family {except for Lacey} thought I was nuts, this little {BIG} girl has healed me in a way I can’t even describe. She’s brought me happiness, entertainment and given a new purpose … to love and care for another, without being consumed by my own hardship and fears.

My mother has said that to me before, but about an actual baby. She’s encouraged us to consider adoption – probably because she wants more grandkids;), but mostly because she wants to see her kids happy. And she knows being parents would make us both happy.

We don’t really have a plan when it comes to children, but SO many ask us all the time. With all the heartache we’ve endured these past 7 months – it’s been the very last thing on our mind. Except for when I see my husband fathering our puppies … then it’s the very thing that takes over my mind.

I didn’t intend for this blog to take this turn, but let’s just go with it. I was going to write a funny story about a 4′ girl with crutches teaching a GREAT SHEPHERD how to walk {the irony is not lost on me},  but let’s do this instead.

Let’s be real about the underlying reasons we do what we do as humans.

We took on Ellie, because we needed her. I needed a “baby” to love and care for, my husband needed to see his wife smile … so THAT is why she’s ours now.

And maybe, someday … we’ll get to have the real experience. Maybe we won’t. But I am asking you to remember this little desire in your prayers today, because obviously it’s a thing for me right now.

And I believe in the God who can make the impossible, possible.

Enjoy our weekly round-up of pictures below. Ellie was NOT into the idea of walking … she wanted to stay safe in the yard she knows. She obviously doesn’t trust her daddy as much as she trusts her mommy … that’s because I’m our girls’ favorite. 😉 #kiddingEddy

 

Have a beautiful weekend, everyone!

PS: Yes I cut my hair. Yes I love my color. AND YES I’m digging my Farrah Fawcett curls!!! xoxo
