Saturday afternoon...

As I filled up my water bottle, my stomach grumbled...
it was around lunch time, but I had promised my dog a walk.
So I grabbed a green granny smith apple off the counter.

Yelling out the door to my boyfriend and our friends that I'd be back in abit, I headed out.
My young AmStaff puppy loved the strolls out in the woods.
And I've always felt the most relaxed lost among the trees, kinda like a sanctuary.

The woods were across a busy highway, so I didn't want to risk walking across it.
Me and Mr. Bear (my puppys name BTW) jumped in my car and drove the couple of minutes to a school parking lot on the edge of town.
I threw my purse over my shoulder... unhooked the dog from his leash...
and headed into the bush where the joggers had made a trail.

It was so relaxing... I needed it.
The day before I had just landed the "perfect" job!
I should be starting Monday!

Not to mention the fact that my college grad was only 2 weeks away!!!
OMG! What was I going to wear? Where should we party afterwards?
So many questions!
Ughhh... there wasn't much point in getting TOO excited...
I still had one more final exam to write before I could be sure I was actually getting my diploma!!

I tried my hardest for those 2 years to get that paper.
I couldn't mess it up! eek!

Oh well... I figure.
No point in getting too worked up about it.
I've already found a great job!
And if I have to redo one class to get my diploma, I'll do it!

My mood lifted as I walked...
I loved watching my dog run up and down the trail.
Always staying in sight... but so excited to explore!

Just as I'm feeling as good as I think a person can feel.
My cell phone rings... breaking the beautiful silence.
