day 4 of vacation | travel day (please pray for safety!)
today y’all get to hear from megan with | rivers and roads |
we are basically fraternal twins separated at birth.
she is hilarious, God-centered, compassionate, and creative.
i just stinking love her.

it is no secret that i love my pups. i post pictures of them on instagram, and i talk about them here on this space. i also swap funny pet stories in normal conversation with friends. i don’t know about you, but in my world, pets are part of the family. we love them and care for them, we snuggle them during thunderstorms, and we giggle at all their weirdness.
sometimes, on random evenings, i pull out the trusty DSLR to snap a few photos of their cute, furry faces. our chocolate lab, ceilidh (kay-lee) is super photogenic, but shadow, our mix, is not. she hates having pictures taken. if i want to get a “cute shadow face” picture, i have to sneak attack her with the camera. otherwise, i get what you see below. lots of “i’m not looking at you” or “i’m super annoyed” faces. she’s so silly.
ceilidh is our sweet girl we bought as a puppy 11 years ago. when she was born, we went to see her several times before we got to bring her home, which was pretty special and fun. she has been such a joy of a pet. she may be a little grayer and walk more slowly these days, but she still has that little puppy heart. also, her amber eyes are my favorite.
i adopted shadow a year and a half ago and am so glad i did. she is the sweetest and quirkiest dog i’ve ever met. she loooooooooves people. like wants to lick your face and sit in your lap all day long…and she’s not exactly the size of a lap dog…but she doesn’t know that. she is so weird…SO WEIRD and so cute…and makes me laugh on a daily basis.
snuggling AKA sitting in your lap
You can totally see their personalities in these photos! One mature and calm, the other kind of sarcastic and funny. Ha! Dogs are awesome!
