I'm glad that your new puppy is bringing such joy. Congrats on paying off your home. Wow, that is such a big deal. Is it bad that my first thought was about how much fashion related items I could buy if I paid off my home? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2016-has-been-a-good-year#post-1623005 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 02:27:41 +0000 Angie 1623005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maneera, it takes time to heal and feel ready to introduce another puppy into your life. (I soooo get that). You were finally ready - Xena too - and Emma is the luckiest beagle in India. There is NOTHING more therapeutic than a puppy. Dogs are gifted healers and we are privileged that they love us.</p> <p>And congrats on the apartment. How brilliant.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2016-has-been-a-good-year#post-1622976 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 01:58:33 +0000 Maneera 1622976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much, ladies It's certainly good to be debt free! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2016-has-been-a-good-year#post-1622962 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 01:18:17 +0000 shedev 1622962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm happy for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2016-has-been-a-good-year#post-1622916 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 22:20:18 +0000 Mochi 1622916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sounds wonderful, Maneera.

What a lovely surprise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2016-has-been-a-good-year#post-1622759 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 15:53:25 +0000 Maneera 1622759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2016 has started off on a very happy note for me &amp; my family....and I thought I would share our happiness with you all </p> <p>The year started fabulously as we added another beloved member to our family - Emma. After losing Ginger (our 4 yr old Neapolitan Mastiff), I thought I couldn't let another dog into my heart. But Emma.....Emma heals the broken bits of my soul and makes me feel like 'me' again. I love that munchkin to death already! With the coming of Emma, I've had to de-prioritize work because it's taking time and training to get the puppy to adjust with our almost 8yr old German Shepherd, Xena. Honestly....I don't mind it one bit </p> <p>Emma turned lucky for us. We have been looking forward to pick up a new car for over 8 months but were not getting a good buyer for our older SUV. Suddenly, we had a real promising buyer come right to our doorstep (totally unplanned) and he bought our car at whatever rate we quoted! It was awesome! So we have finally bought a far more premium car that I've wanted for 3 yrs....an old dream coming true </p> <p>The biggest good news was a surprise my husband planned for me and told me about only the day the car came home. We purchased our city apartment in 2009 and had a 20yr mortgage for it. As our financial health got better, we planned to finish off the loan way sooner; our goal was end of 2016. But apparently my husband made some extra bonus and repaid the loan already! As of Jan 2016 - we are 100% debt free and own our house!!!! I am especially excited about this. It seems like just yesterday when we moved to this city and my husband went back to college. We lived in a tiny one room apartment with Xena and were as happy as can be on just my meager salary as a fresher in the architecture industry. But that was Oct'2008, and I am amazed at how far we've come in these years. I feel extremely proud and blessed and feel like I couldn't have asked for a better life. </p> <p>These days our social life has been dialed back a notch since we don't want to leave the puppy alone for too long. We aren't complaining! We watch a lot of movies at home, I've taken up container-gardening that I enjoy very much, and we do go for long drives with the dogs on weekends. We've had the whole family visit us one by one to meet Emma - my sister &amp; her husband, my mother in law, and my own parents, so we've been busy. </p> <p> Life's good right now. And I feel very happy and content. </p> <p>Thanks for reading and for sharing our happiness. </p>
