    My dream home isnt a place, its my dog. Its our first apartment together ❀️ I us two

    Living room. Just hanging out.  He’s probably eating peanut butter in that KONG. (photo credit: AngelicaLauraPhotography)
    He LOVED  treats 🀣 (video credit: AngelicaLauraPhotography)

    Our first apartment together had the washer and dryer inside my bedroom. That’s the noise you hear (:

    When I picture my dream home, I picture any place that I could be with my dog by myself. I don’t care what state it’s in. I don’t care if it’s a mansion or one bedroom apartment.

    I just want him….and Air Conditioning 😩 lol

  • You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?

    Oh thats so easy,I tell my crew in heaven, who cheer me on!  β€οΈπŸ’–πŸ’“

    Sierra Ann Wroblewski πŸ•Š and Raine Olivia Amae πŸ•Š and my Grandma Bia πŸ•Š

    Sierra Wroblewski my Babygirl, my bestie πŸ’“ my boba tea date and best teacher around!

    Heart of gold and a life short lived but with big purpose. She changed many lives and the impact she left will forever be with her students πŸ’›

    She passed away from Leukemia at the age of 21.  😞

    Raine Olivia Amae πŸ’– she’s a beautiful story I have yet to share with the world.  She was loved her whole life.

    My Grandma Bia

    My best friend. (photo credit: AngelicaLauraPhotography)

    She used to dunk her cookies in milk all the time. She applied lipstick on me whenever she was done doing her makeup. She lived in Florida up until my parents moved her to a nursing home here in CA. When I lived in germany when I was younger, Grandma Bia πŸ‘΅  would only be able to visit during the holidays and every so often. When we moved to CA I think she was able to travel only 1 time.

    She passed away from all while I was in college taking my finals 😩 I wasn’t able to leave to say goodbye to her or to spread her ashes. It haunts me everyday.

    I learned a lot from her β€οΈπŸ’–
