Cousin and I at baby shower.

Better half. We've had an on again off again for the last twelve years through most of which we've remained very close and kept in constant contact. He has two boys from his previous marriage, which ended around the same time as my first marriage. We've been together a year now.

Most of my besties, the ones who stayed around to gab post baby shower. Of course @samssimonsays couldn't make it because she's 22 hours away.
Left to right: Mom, best friend from college, best friend from works sister who is now one of my best friends, me, best friend from work(who had her baby today!), best friend from college, cousin, Aunt.

It's been a roller coaster of a year. Life has improved drastically. There's just too much to catch up on.

I don't think I have ever seen that much info written in such a short space.

Wow! Congrats!!!

Thanks guys. It’s good to be back. I’ll post some updates from around the farm by tomorrow. Currently building cages for the show birds and show rabbits for the boys.

I have kept up a little on FB, but just don’t care too much for FB. I am glad that you are back HOME where you need to stay! LOL Congratulations on all the good things in your life.

Congrats on all that's good that you've shared! Happy that you're happy! Life is short and everyone deserves happiness in their lives.

A trip to Home Depot to pick up some cage supplies and a few other things with my best pal Gus (German Shepherd I rescued after we lost Titan). Gus reminds me a lot of that old red dog. He has a lot of Titans same mannerisms and behaviors and it cracks me up.

Repurposed one of the old barns to a rabbit barn. I’ve got 22 rabbits in this one. Don’t have a “complete” picture of it yet. My mom was a huge help but I’m exhausted so we called it quits. Got a LOT done today and I’m a little too pregnant to be doing this much in one day. LOL

Got the news that my better half will be gone another month with work. He is a welder and they’re currently working a huge job out of state. We sure are excited about this job but I miss him tremendously. I have seen him twice in the last two months and only for a few hours.

Two weeks ago we lost one of our horses. She had bad liver failure and was a recent rescue. We were able to give her five more months of love and attention. In the end the vet decided she was done fighting and we put her down.

Divided up a bunch of the show birds yesterday and have quite a bit more to go through the next few days to begin feeding for the next round of shows. I had put a bit of them into breeding groups for the summer but wasn’t able to hatch much. My first two trimesters had me in and out of the hospital with various things. I am playing catch up now.

I hope I can get everything done I need to get done in the next week or two as far as building and moving cages because I’m to the point doing much of anything is beyond difficult. My hip is fractured and that doesn’t help. Everything I do has to be methodical and slow. Big projects require I wait on R or go down to Houston and pick up my mother.

At least today was a beautiful day, we’ve needed it after months of rain. Sunshine and butterflies all day! Bees came out so we also put some fruit out for the bees since there’s nothing blooming right now.

OH! And I scored a HUGE 8x rabbit cage today for $60 and another smaller cage for $20. Filled it up immediately with rabbits I’ve been meaning to separate. Guy threw in some old rusty feeders that are still in working shape and I picked through his poultry stuff and scored some good gallon drinkers and 7lb feeders.

Happy Saturday everyone.

That has to be hard! How much longer is this job going on?

My hip is fractured and that doesn’t help.

As if being pregnant didn't come with enough restrictions. I hope it heals quickly.

Gus is beautiful, I think he is healing your heart for Titan. A fractured hip? How did you do that? I know, I know, being pregnant doesn't slow you down-much. LOL Take care of yourself.
