absence?

it's been a while since i even checked my blog. apologies all around! i've been busy, as you can see. with this ring on my finger and a wedding at the end of july, i haven't had as much time as the college student i was back in missouri. talk about a crazy life currently. crazy, but wonderful. with a name-change in a month from tomorrow, life is about to get even more crazy, right?
now that you know the reason for my absence, i can proudly say that i am moved in on my farm. living with my best friend, genel, until i'm married and she has to leave. we are raising twenty-six chicks and sixteen (adult) chickens. all of them-of course-are free range chickens. between my dove and genel's rabbit, and the horse we've been housing since i moved here ("methuselah" leaves us tomorrow), i'd say we could run an interesting zoo. we'll see if i can talk caleb into letting me get some more animals that'll help us be self sustaining.
exciting season, and i'm hoping that i'll be able to update this more often now that the farm has internet.

road-trip.

even though i've been home over a week, i kept forgetting to post some pictures of my roadtrip. here's to that loverly trip that began almost two weeks ago.

one of my dearest friends in kansas city. can't wait to see benita again.

caleb being caleb.

josiah's family was also in town, so we got to see all of them.

duncaaaaannnnn.

back in time.

falling alseep during a skype conversation on me, eh?

haha. so this is kind of old news-and by "old", i mean it's been about a month. this is my boyfriend. unfortunately he doesn't live in kansas city...although not *so* unfortunate since i am leaving shortly. no worries, as i am sure he'll be reading this, and probably wonder what the inspiration is for my silliness in blogging about it. it's actually fun to be goofy with him, and people can easily thrive with his company. can't wait to actually get to be with him and my family again. these are some of the things that i can look forward to-including my other beloved friends. i just figured since i have yet to blog about this guy, i'd give him a concise shout-out and say "you're great!!" hehe. if you absolutely dislike these pictures, caleb, just tell me. miss you!
