As I continue to reflect back on the years with Cricket,
2008 was the year my first guide, Pantera, died in March. Cricket had been my guide for a little over a year at this time. This picture (sorry if you've read my blog you've seen this picture many times :), represents a lot to me. Pantera was such a graceful retired guide. She stepped aside gracefully and encouraged Cricket along. Even the night before she died, in this picture she stepped back for Cricket to be by my side. I will forever be grateful for those last sweet moments when I gave her a final hug and thanked her for her beautiful life of love and service.
2008 was the year of Cricket settling in as a guide, and lots of travelling! I look back on this and wonder when I worked! I know I did -- it was also a really busy time at our office!
We also had a fun photo shoot with Davina. (Thank you, Natalie!) She took many wonderful pictures ... this one of Cricket saying - hey Becky we need to stop is a favorite.
There was the Girls Trip to NYC, Europe with my parents, Oregon with friends, San Diego with the family for Thanksgiving. I also surprised Steve with a trip to Greece. Incredible and so grateful for these experiences.
