The Wedding

my companion through all of time and space
On April 18th, 2015 I was lucky enough to marry my best friend in the entire world, my soulmate, my other half, my better half, my everything. We had the ceremony two days before we celebrated our eight year anniversary as a couple. With a budget of nearly nothing we threw together a great party, under a few big white tents in our yard beside the river. All of the decorations were handmade. The bridesmaids dresses all thrift-ed from Goodwill. Our families helped with the food and drinks. It was so simple, and so very us.

The bridal party was composed of the closest friends and family.

Bridesmaids: Amy, Savannah, Christina, Brittany & Kaylee
Groomsmen: Zach, Ethan, Justin, Michael & Deacon

 Jonathan's sister Toni went above and beyond when we asked her to be our officiant. She jumped through the necessary hoops and became fully able to marry us legally! The service was just perfect with her leading us through our vows, and she even gave us a beautiful wedding certificate, too. 

"and I'd choose you. in a hundred lifetimes.
in a hundred worlds. in any version of reality.
I'd find you, and I'd choose you."
everything, all of the time
My dress was a hand-me-down from a family member. 
My shoes found on clearance for just $5. 
My jewelry came from the local store, The Crystal Cottage.
My sister, Amy, worked her magic on my hair, and my bestie, 
Savannah, was my professional makeup artist for the day.

it was the perfect day

so much love
  Until next time,

real snow - the morning chores

When I woke up at 7 this morning it was still dark outside, but I could see that it was only a dusting on the driveway. Sigh. I fixed a cup of coffee, turned on the little heater in the bathroom, and got ready for work. Twenty minutes later when I came back into the bedroom it was a bit brighter outside, with a lot more snow. It was coming down hard too. We went outside and took care of the animals. The rabbits seem just fine in their new fixed up cages. The ducks, always impervious, swam and splashed about in their water bowl for a solid thirty minutes before retreating to the fresh hay in their crate to warm their feet. Not for long though, I can see them back out there now. Since I moved the fence yesterday I can see them perfectly from my bedroom window. It makes me smile. I'm glad that it snowed enough, early enough, that we could call into work. Snow day! The dogs are a trip to watch in the snow. Playful as ever, they run around kicking it up, eating it o...

the good, the bad, and the embarrassing

Our first week and a half on the farm have not been uneventful by any means. In fact, tonight on the ride home I said to the Universe (or more accurately Jonathan, since that's who heard me) "thanks for all the tests you've been throwing at us lately, but that's enough for now, please?" We expected some hard times and lots of hard work, but we weren't ready for random mishaps and accidents that would set us back so soon in the change. Bad things that have happened since we arrived: Jonathan gets a tick and the head is stuck in his back. It's been a week now and I think it's all worked out, but I was really scared. We get locked out of the Jeep, and it's $120 for a locksmith to come unlock it. We have snatched Zaphod (our kitty) off of upstairs windowsills about five times. I smacked myself in the forehead with a knife (apparently I missed the day in class when they tought you basic knife-holding skills.) It was just a little cut, mainly my ego ...

introducing... me.

At long last, I'd like to show you a little bit of my artwork. It's not the greatest, and I'm usually inspired by a particular artist when I paint, and I will always try to give credit for my inspiration. This first set of paintings were inspired by Nastasha Wescoat, a beautiful self-taught artist from Michigan. Her whimsical trees, kitties, and birdies are breath-taking, and also the inspiration for my next tattoo, which I am treating myself to for my birthday next week (and I am so excited!) You can see more of here artwork here. So, here goes. Enjoy. One final piece, not fitting with the rest, but I spent three hours on it last night, and I wanted to share. Until next time.
