Celtics, wedding, dogs

Today was a pretty good day.  Of course Shawn is always on my mind and I definitely thought of him and missed him today, but I had a lot of distractions.

I'm a big celtics fan and so is brother, Chris.  Odin and I went over to his house today to watch game 4 of the Celtics/Knicks playoff series.  They won!  They were 0-3 and could have been knocked out of the playoffs today, but they won in overtime and it was awesome.  If Shawn was still here he would have gone over with me and shook his head while smiling at the outcome.  He isn't really into basketball, but he would watch it with me he'd always root for the Knicks.  He probably would have liked to see them sweep Boston, but they didn't.

Chris and Lindsey's friends came over and they have two boston terriers.  So Odin had a great day playing with them and Chris and Lindsey's dog, Mila.

We grilled out on their deck and hung out there for a while eating and watching the dogs play.  After that I met up with Kristina and we took the dogs for a walk around the campus. I'm going to try to go that walk every day if I can.  The university is basically a circle, so if you walk the the whole thing it's about 3 miles.  So walking from my house, around the circle, and back is just about 4 miles.  It's good for me and Odin loves it, so hopefully I can stay motivated to keep doing it.  Plus I can usually get Sarah or Kristina to come with me and it goes by pretty fast when you have someone to talk to.

I talked to Kristina about her wedding and she told me I would be seated with some people that I know.  So I'm going to go.  I'm just going to have to try really hard to not feel sorry for myself.  But it will be tough to go a wedding after this, especially when it was just a couple months ago that I thought I'd be getting engaged soon and now I'm alone.

Tomorrow I'm working open to close then Sarah and I are going to go for walk then she's going to come over and watch The Following's finale.  So, lots of distraction tomorrow.

...and here are pictures from today.  Mila and Odin on the back of the couch and Odin sitting on his own chair out on the deck.  Most of my happy pictures will be of Odin.  I'm so glad I have him.  Things would be way harder for me I didn't have that adorable little face in my life.
