My most favorite holiday hands down is today.  Freaking LOVE this holiday so much, in fact, I mentioned it in my wedding vows.  True story.  I decorate as early as first week of September and I don't care who judges that.  I know I sound like a lunatic and it's fine. I guess it's my favorite holiday because I have awesome Halloween memories as long as I can remember.  I've always had super fun costumes since this holiday speaks to my creative spirit.  Could be my fave holiday because I enjoy spooky/scary movies and stories year round anyways.  Lastly, of course, the snacks ain't half bad.  #AlmondJoyFTW This picture grabs my heart.  We are missing our Pepper girl so hard and one of the biggest reasons we are functioning even at all is because of that little gal right there.  She is adjusting for sure but she has not let her love us hard nature waiver one bit.  We're in this together that's for sure. Happy Halloween to all a...

It's starting.   My anxiety is at peak.   Maybe the new season, which leads us into the end of the year chaos which I love, yet initially I feel slight panic.   It passes but I've noticed the last few years this happens. Maybe because we're getting married in a week and while we're so excited and we're prepared, mentally and logistically, it's less than a week!   So much done!   So much to do!   We're getting married!   Eek! Maybe because Pepper is winding down.   She's still okay; she's eating and not in blatant discomfort.   But she's a 14 year old lab with muscular atrophy and a couple bumps we need to get checked out.   Her spirit is strong and present but she's also tired and more feeble.   We're seesawing a terribly difficult situation and trying to navigate as thoughtfully as we can.   I think our hope and prayer is to get through the wedding and hopefully the holidays before thinking further. Maybe becaus...

I don't have drastic plans or crazy intentions, I'm just so eager to see what another chapter brings! 2016 was in short a very, very good year.   The biggest thing this year will be marked in memory for is our business.   Not only did I make the jump to working full time for mine and Hunter's business, but we have grown in all categories we use to measure our development.   I am thrilled to wake up each morning and get to work; I don't ever get the Sunday night sads because tomorrow is Monday and wahhh I have to go back to an unfulfilling or unhappy work situation.   That, my friends, is absolutely nothing to snarl at fo sho! On a personal note, my dad battled cancer twice and kicked its ass twice in 2016.   For that, I am happy to move forward to a new year.   No one wants their parent to struggle or get sick and I am thankful every day for healing and forward movement in this wild and beautiful life we get to live. For 2017, I suppos...
