And so she begins...

Finally, my first post!! I created the blog weeks ago (thought of the name and didn't want anyone to steal if before I got it..you know, the stress of it) but then it has just been sitting, waiting for me to use it. And here I am!

I created this blog because life has changed a lot recently, and I want to be able to keep track of it. I love looking at old pictures and letters and things of that nature, so now I can keep track of it all in this spot. And I want to be able to share all the fun stuff with anyone who wants to keep up with what life has for me :)



I do know that everything life has in store for me is in that picture right there. This is my family. That stud on the left is Kelly. I could fill an entire blog with all the things Kelly means to me but I'll just keep it short and say he is pretty awesome :) The black thing is our dog, Daisy. She's a mutt. A very good mutt.



We just moved to Penrose, Colorado, where the sun shines an average of 351 days a year. Just an example of what most of the houses around here are like ... our next door neighbors have 30 hens, 7 roosters, 2 turkeys, and a duck. I've learned that roosters don't just crow in the morning. They crow all. day. long. But it doesn't bother me at all. Next year we will have chickens, from there, goats, and then I can only imagine the things we will do with this place. It has tons of potential and we are going to get all we can out of it, while putting back in at the same time.

I love this place so much I want to hug it :)

  1. Wow, Ab. I am dumbfounded. Your writing is beautiful and truly heartfelt. I'm excited for you two, and I can only imagine the changes you are experiencing going from a city life to the country self sufficient home life. I'll be watching via your blog and look forward to the entries. Makes me want to get back into blogging myself. Motivation comes and goes. Love you cousin.

  4. Hi, I just found your website via goatcheeselady.com and I must say we have a lot in common! My honey and I just moved to Ellicott (outside of the Springs) and we love having space and animals to call our own! Good luck and have fun!!
