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.

my daddy <3
 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

puppy play date

Yesterday Trilli got to have a puppy play date with her best friend, Oreo, and a new boyfriend, Yeti. Everyone in our group has a dog or two, so socializing them is essential. With several large breeds covered in our pack, they can be a bit much at first. Oreo (the pit bull) is quick like lighting, nudging the others with her nose and batting her paws. Trilli (husky and lab) loves to play but has the biggest mouth, constantly barking. We're working on that. Yeti is a basset hound and great Pyrenees mix, still growing and just beautiful. He got along with the girls wonderfully, outside taking turns pouncing on each of them. It's great to watch a pack of dogs together, it's so natural for them, their own kind; friends.  Hopefully next time I'll remember to bring my camera! Until next time, Angela Kelly

a few lessons in rabbit husbandry

We now have two years of experience under our belts raising rabbits. We have learned a lot of useful information already, but we are far from experts. That's the thing with farming, with raising animals, you will never be done learning. Bring it on. As of today we have 17 rabbits in our little group, and the more animals you have the more likely you are to have problems. Here are a few of ours: the girls The first problem we had is with the smallest litter we have, which we have had in a large dog crate on the grass. They are starting to get pretty big, and coming of age, they are starting to get a little frisky. This is bad news bears. I was out watching them and saw three boys ganging up on one girl, so in a hurry I fixed up a cage and moved her into it. She was visibly shaken, breathing quickly, her hair a mess with tufts pulled out (that was the first sign I saw that something was going on.) The next d...
