Diary Entry 2
Dear Diary, (3/16/21)
Today was the day. Ben and I have finally gotten to New York and moved in to our new apartment. It is small but it is everything I have ever wanted. When you walk in it has kind of an industrial look with exposed brick and a big window in the living room. Our furniture hasn't come yet so we have an upside down cardboard box as a table and we have to lay out our pillows and blankets to use as a bed. Our furniture should be here tomorrow so that we can finish unpacking.
Little Clyde was so happy when we let him out of his crate to explore his new home. He loves all the sun that comes in from the front window. I think he is going to like it since we have more open space here for him to run around than we did in Philadelphia.
For dinner we got Chinese food and sat at a cardboard box on the floor, we lit a candle and desperately tried to keep Clyde away from it so our new home didn't go up in flames. It doesn't sound like much but it was perfect too me. When I was sitting there in my pajamas eating our food that's when I realized how much I love Ben. We are one little happy family right now and I couldn't ask for anything more.

Diary Entry 1
Dear Diary, (5/25/20)
Today was a very exciting day for Ben and I. We were sitting on our balcony drinking our morning coffee and talking. Out of no where we heard a what sounded like a cat. We didn't think much of it at first, thinking it probably belonged to the neighbor, but the meowing got louder. It sounded almost like it was outside. We live in Philadelphia, in the city, what person in their right mind would let their cat outside in the city??? So we put on our shoes and walked downstairs and out to the street to look around and see where this sound was coming from. We walked around the corner of the building over towards the dumpsters and we heard more meowing. We looked around and couldn't find anything. Then I heard one more meow, I turned around and looked in a box. From the dark shadow inside I saw these two big bright green eyes and saw a small pink nose. It was a cat!!!! I know "No shit Rebecca its a cat, what else meows" but I was excited ok. I reached in and picked up the little guy. He was all dirty and really skinny. Ben thought I was insane for touching a wild cat in the middle of Philadelphia but I love animals too much to let this poor little guy suffer. I carried him upstairs and I put him in the bathroom and closed the door. I immediately called the vet to make this poor little guy an appointment for that day. After that I went in the bathroom with some shampoo, baby wipes, a towel, a bowel of tuna fish (which did belong to ben, I don't know how he eats this stuff), and a little dish of water. Before trying to clean him up I let him eat some food since he looked starving and drink some water. After his little belly was full I got to work on cleaning him up. I have done this many times before since I have rescued all of my cats that I have ever owned, but even though I told this to Ben he was still concerned and thought the cat would try and hurt me. He was actually really lovey. He kept purring and brushing up against me and it wasn't very hard to get him all cleaned up. His fur went from a blotchy black and gray to a clean beautiful dusty gray color. I picked him up and gave him a little hug and he gave me a little meow. I decided to name him Clyde. When I brought him out of the bathroom Ben looked at him skeptically and went to pet the little guy. he reached out his hand an Clyde smacked it away and started purring. He was a little mommas boy. I took him into the vet and got him all of his vaccines and we got him some medicines since he had flees. Afterwards Ben and I walked over to the pet store to get him some toys and food. He is now the newest member of our family and I am so excited!!!! :D

5 year plan
In five years I plan to be closer to my dreams. I will be living in a small apartment that I will share with my fiancé in Brooklyn, New York. It will be small but it is part of my dream. We will have a chubby cat named Clyde. I will have completed my bachelor's here at Tyler in Art Education and I will be working as a painting teacher in a local high school. My fiancé and I will be planning a trip to go to Spain for the summer since we both want to continue our growth in speaking Spanish. It will be a dream come true to be going to Spain for a summer to learn more Spanish.
