Winston

Dogs have been my favorite animal since I was little.  Growing up I have always had golden retrievers.  One of the Golden Retrievers my family had when I was growing up was a stocky, golden retriever.  Golden retrievers can have a wide range of hair color.  Their coat can range from almost white to a dark red color.  Winston was right in the middle of the spectrum, with a long silky golden coat.  I was about five when my family got Winston.  My family and I always joked that he was the discount puppy since he was the last in his litter to go.  Winston was a happy puppy, but I would not say he was the brightest puppy.  He was supposed to be an indoor dog, but every time my mom would bring him in the house, he would get so excited and pee all over the rugs and floor.


There is one memory I always remember when I think of Winston.  I was about eight and it was wintertime.  I lived in Ohio, so we would have lots of snow in the winter.  When it would snow a lot, my two sisters and I would always go outside and play in it.  We loved to go sledding.  In fact, we would even hook up Winston to one of our sleds and pretend that he is our sled dog.  He was always so cooperative and eager to play with us, never getting angry with us.  This one specific time my sisters and I made a track in the snow so he could easily pull us around.  We played for hours outside with him, having him pull us and even trying to put him on the sled and pull him.

MY FAVORITE COOKIE RECIPE

I have been doing a lot of baking lately and thought I would share my favorite cookie recipe! There are so many cookie recipes it can be hard to find one that you will like. I love the classic chewy chocolate chip cookies, but my all-time favorite cookie is a monster cookie. I was always so excited when my mom would make these for me when I was little. What also is great about this recipe is that it does not require any flour, so they are gluten-free! MONSTER COOKIES Start to finish: 30 minutes Total: 3 dozen cookies Ingredients: 3 eggs 1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 12-ounce jar creamy peanut butter 1 stick butter, softened 1/2 cup multi-colored chocolate candies 1/2 cup chocolate chips 2 teaspoons baking soda 4 1/2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant) Directions First you want to preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and spray a cookie sheet with non...

5K Training

I thought I would give you guys a little update on how Paige and I have progressed in our 5K training. We have reached week five in our training. We have been running consistently five days a week for five weeks! I did not realize how quickly our training would go by. We are now only 11 days away from running our own 5K! Paige and I have made it to 2.5 miles without stopping, which may not seem far, but it feels like a great accomplishment for us! We are a little over a half-mile away from our goal of doing a 5K. We plan on reaching our goal by the end of this week! Keeping motivated to run has been difficult some days. It is easy to make excuses of why not to run like it’s too cold or raining, so I thought I would tell you a few ways I stay motivated. The first way Paige and I stay motivated is by holding each other accountable. Paige and I find it best that we run together so we continue to keep up with our training. Plus, we get to get out of the house when we run! We ...

LOOKING BACK AT MY SOCIAL MEDIA PRINCIPLES CLASS

Last semester I was looking for a class to take to fill my credit hours. I had no idea that this class would teach me so much more than I had ever expected. My first week back in class, some of my classmates told me that Dr. Aggie’s class was fun, but challenging. Along with that, this is the one class that I need to read the textbook. Although this was somewhat intimidating to hear, I stuck with the course and now I am so happy that I did. Along with learning about social media and how to run it from a business standard, I met some awesome people along the way. Having such a small class meant that we all got to know each other well. Along with this, even when we went to remote learning our class sessions were still fun! I am going to miss making Tik Tok videos in class before we start lecture and learning about my classmates and professor. Even though blogging was my least favorite part of this class, I feel like I learned so much about blogging over these past 15 weeks. M...
