A year ago today I got a dog with the guy I thought I would be spending the rest of my life with. I was 19 and I thought I had the rest of my life planned out. Looking back, I see now how crazy that was. If things hadn't turned out the way they did, I would still be planning my life around someone else.
A year later, today, I have no idea what I want to do with my life. I don't know where I want to go when I graduate, or what I want to do, or even if I want to be with anyone. I don't know if I ever want to get married, or have kids, or do anything that I wanted to do a year ago. I think that's a little crazy, too, but I also think that I am ok with it right now.
And if someone asked me if I would do it all again, I would say yes. Because Rudy is THE best thing that has ever happened to me, and 3 and a half years of planning my life out, only to be completely turned around, is well worth it if I am going to end up with a dog who makes me love my life every single day and reminds me of how happy I can be.
So for Valentine's day, if I get sad at all about being alone, I will just look down at my doggy's perfect little face and remind myself that I am completely happy with where I am in life right now. I couldn't ask for anything better than my baby rooroo.
