Remember When...

I feel like a new mom who desperately wants to capture everything about their newborn and this special time in their life before time slips away... (And I do love hearing from my mom about my incredibly good smell and my rosebud lips. :) But, it's true. There are many things I want to remember about this awesome time in my life:

1. RightHand would like me to remember that he let me think I was choosing where we would go walking on Saturday. Noted, my handsome mastermind.

2. RightHand's pants were wet on the Friday night before the proposal, from cavorting on the banks of the river to plant the letterbox. I asked him about the damp britches. He says (now) that he knew if he acted annoyed about my intrusive questions I would leave him alone. One defensive "I don't know, just let it go!" later, it worked.

3. I love the ring. I truly love the ring. And I most love that he picked it out himself.

4. I can't stop daydreaming. I daydream about the wedding, a future house, future pets, moving in together... It feels as though there are a million surprises and gifts ahead, and I'm sure there are.

5. One of the first questions I asked after the proposal is "Is it conflict free?!!" I was so proud of myself! And it was. I'm so proud of him!

6. Everything feels fresh and new again. I am reinvigorated in a way that I've never been.

7. RightHand told me not to start planning the wedding until after the bar. I was signed up on theknot.com within 24 hours. :)

8. I can't be without the ring for more than a few minutes. I look at it often, hate taking it off to wash my hands, apply lotion, etc. and yes, it does sleep in its box on my nightstand. :)

9. Rather than the fabled golden retriever, it is now RightHand who is lovingly called "Fifi"- a little nickname for "fiance." And he secretly loves it. Very secretly...

10. I am randomly belting out to RightHand "You liked it so you put a ring on it!!!" in a charmingly off-key custom rendition.

11. I did not get the magical book that clearly every other engaged couple received that lets you know where to go from here. This must be remedied STAT. (Law school and med school knowledge- double threat!! ;)

12. I am so happy.

13. Oh, you want to just see the damn ring already? Okay, here is what my crappy camera offered after 30 minutes of painstaking effort (it should not be this hard, NIKON!!!!):

Happy Bunday!

Daisy has (luckily) not been up to too much this week.

But last weekend, hoo boy, she was the center of attention. It's always fun when someone meets her for the first time and giggles as much as I did about a bunny hopping around the house. :) Here's some video filmed by the awesome jeannie:



And I snapped a little bit of some cute lounging:

Please forgive us; we're still growing out after our massive shedding!

And finally, this is so true, dammit:

More soon! :)

Happy Caturday!

This Caturday, I'd like to welcome the newest member to our ever-growing family (engagement reference- woot!), Royal. Or, The Artist Formerly Known As Tarzan.

The last of the kittens, he has gotten NO inquiries from Petfinder since day one. But don't tell him that! And it makes no sense to us. Cute pictures, sweet description...what the...?? He really has the best personality and grew on us so much, we just had to call it. He's ours!

Or maybe he was always ours? Or at least, we were his :)

Don't they both look so comfy? Ha!

After the engagement

He's always eating/playing with Daisy's hay!

Royal and Daisy are having a litterbox battle. Daily. How fun for me!

Worked too hard!

Kitten: It's what's for dinner.

Oh. Be still my heart!

Friday Fotos

And here are my fave photos from this week. Yours?

This is such a wacky (and tragic) photo

I love the eerie lights and buildings in the upper left corner

This photo's perspective is awesome. And so is what this man is doing.

I don't really like this photo, but it reminded me so much of that famed National Geo photo of the woman... you know the one.

Hasn't happened too many times this fall, but I love walking on a blanket of golden leaves like this

Last Friday's Fotos

Sorry for the delay! But you know, I was a busy girl last week, getting engaged and all. :) (I really can't say that enough! For me. I recognize it's a personal pleasure at this point. :) And also baking for the animal law group bake sale. Here were RightHand and my's creations:

Homemade vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting and banana nut muffins
(And my cupcake carrier was the envy of the bake sale! Thanks, Jen!)

We bleed red and black. Or not. Not at all.

Onto the photos! Here are my favorites from last week. Yours?

I look at this photo and think "Simplicity." It just calms me.

This photo is so ripe with political commentary. Tobacco, patriotism, migrant workers... Almost too much to handle.

I think I just love the color in this photo. And that boys are having to deal with make-up. Ha!

A sign of the times. Or should I say "swine of the times"?
I wonder if they did this in the U.S.

Awesome photo
