everything all of the time

What a slacking week huh?! There is just so very much going on in my life right now. This week is my last week at work, five more days to make all the money I possibly can to help us out. Jonathan finished work on Friday (since they really didn't need him anymore anyways), so he gets to enjoy our last week here a bit more.

We still have so much packing to do, but it will get done. We will be leaving on Sunday, a week from today, for the farm. There are not even words to explain our excitement. I'm still waiting to wake up from this dream. We have since found out that the other intern, who we will be sharing our apartment with, is a girl (which was preferred by both Jonathan and myself), and more importantly that we can bring our animals. Zaphod and Trillian will certainly be in for an adventure, and if the pieces continue to fit together we may also be taking Patches and Erowyn with us as well, to be the free roaming-mouse chasing-barn cats they were born to be (well Erowyn at least, Patches is too lovey and affectionate, so I doubt the barn will be her only home for very long.)

One morning this week as I was leaving for work I glanced back at the house, with the mountains and the shadows from the pre-sunrise, and I almost shed a few tears. I will miss it here. My home. Our home. I will miss my loving and supportive parents, and not hugging them everyday will certainly create an empty yearning in my heart until I return.

Without any disrespect towards anyone else- the greatest challenge is going to be leaving my sister, Amy. My logical mind tells me repeatedly how this opportunity is so extraordinary and that the timing is nearly perfect (I just finished school, we don't have serious jobs or kids yet, etc.) But still my heart hurts from this feeling of abandonment when she is going through life struggles that most adults will never have to endure. I hope she knows that despite the miles I am always beside her in heart. She doesn't know how much she means to me.

There's still a lot to do, and bills to pay and things to get in order. The list of reasons for me to stress seems endless, but my incredible boyfriend continues to remind me how "genius and wonderful" I am, and that everything will.come.together. I am so thankful to have him by my side. I can not think of anything in this world that could make me happier than having this absolutely amazing man by my side, sharing my passions and dreams, and holding my hand as we step into this new adventure together.

Life is simple, and life is good.

I will try to have some photos to share soon.

Until next time,
Angela Kelly

a tribute to Zaphod

It has been nearly a month since the untimely death of our dearest kitty. It is late tonight, I cannot sleep and my mind is filled with grief and sorrow still. I have heard it said that loving animals is only setting oneself up for pain in the end. I may have believed it, but until now I have never felt it. Not to say that I have not lost a pet in the past, in fact several, but fortunately they had all lived long and happy lives before old age and illness took them away. This cannot be said for Zaphod. His life only lasted two short years, and it is the knowing he was meant to spend another decade with us that pains me the most.  We adopted Zaphod when he was only five weeks old, a tiny grey fuzz ball too small to eat. He refused a bottle or wet food, and we honestly worried he was not going to survive those first few days. After several trips to the vet for IV fluids and two weeks of force feeding, he accept a bowl of dry food for his first real meal, despite my

a new chapter

Things are changing around here.  I haven't even finished my cob series, but life just keeps getting in the way. Jonathan and I are currently looking for a new place to call home. Sometimes you have to accept that things aren't working, and do something different.  Unfortunately we are going to have to quit our farmers market. We are looking for homes for our animals, and selling off what we can. We will miss everyone so much, but his is a new chapter in our lives. We are excited about finding a place closer to our friends and family, where we can visit and hang out more often. We can't wait to have a house to call our own again, or an apartment, or whatever it may end up being. We haven't had a place all our own since we lived in the studio apartment just after getting back together. I think that was in 2010, whew! It hurts to have to start over, but we are trying not to be discouraged. We have confidence in ourselves and each other, and we're gonna be just fine

the point is

DISCLAIMER: This post contains material that may be considered graphic or inappropriate to some individuals. Continue at your own risk. You have been warned. Ok.Thanks.Carry on. My aunt, my dad's sister, came to stay last night. She has never stayed the night before, in fact we haven't ever seen her too much, holidays and whatnot. Several times a year. She is a nice lady, but she has some issues, we'll leave it at that. My problem is this: as soon as we arrived home last night, around 9:30 at night, after being gone since 9 that morning, the moment we see each other, the first words out of her mouth are, "you're poor bunny rabbits are freezing to death out there!" Imagine my long exasperated sigh here. Having farm animals isn't the same as having pets. I think Jon Katz said it best in a post last week, "I can give them shelter, warm water, good hay, I cannot make them comfortable or keep them warm, they accept their lives." We raise rabbits
