I don't know whether I should start this post saying Happy New Year or Happy Halloween. It has been almost a whole year since I have updated my blog! Life over the past year has flown by and it seems like only yesterday that we were celebrating Christmas. This past summer was a great blessing for our family on the Cristancho side. Jonathan's younger sister Camila was married in the Cardston temple on August 19th. It was the highlight of our summer from being away from school and work.
School has kept Jonathan and I both busy as midterms are coming up and passing by so quickly. It has been interesting this past year living with Jonathan and learning more and more about him each day. Over the past summer, I affectionately refer to Jonathan as an animal rescue hero, he really has such a caring heart for animals, really in general in helping others. Due to the one car situation we have right now, many times I drive Jonathan to and from work so I can do different things throughout the day. Over the summer, Jonathan had me stop the car a few times when he saw that the mailboxes around our neighborhood had been knocked over by the miscreant teenagers.
One day jonathan was driving home from work and he stopped the car suddenly. I asked him what he was doing and he exclaimed, "there's a cat lying in the middle of the street. I don't want him to get hit by a car." So he got out of the car and went and picked up the cat and carried it to the other side of the street. He noticed that the cat was wearing a collar and so he called the number to check if the cat was okay to be outside. It was just such a sweet thought and it impressed me greatly that Jonathan was so worried about this little cat hanging outside.
It happened again this week, that Jonathan became an animal rescue hero again. There was a little white terrier that was wandering down the sidewalk as we were out for a walk together. Jonathan was going to ring the doorbell where he thought the dog lived but the dog started yapping at him and ran back to the house we thought was his so we continued on our walk. By the time we were walking back, we saw the little dog running across the road and a car screeching to a halt so that this little dog didn't get hit. So Jonathan hurried us over to the house where we thought the little dog lived and told the owner that his little dog was out on the loose.
Jonathan has quite the heart for animals and I love this trait about him.
