Yesterday's Gone

Yesterday was the day before my bride's birthday. Yesterday also marked 4 years of sobriety for me. Yesterday we reflected on me and my past; today we reflect on her and our future. 

I like her reflection a lot better. 

Her

Those of you who regularly follow this blog have gathered by now that my chick and I are now cohabitating. We found a great little compound with the perfect sized shop for me and the house isn't bad either, it's so small and oddly built that I regularly laugh about it but it's perfect for us. Plus the kitchen floor is really slippery and good for dancing.

Now normally she gets up before me and has gone to work by the time I rise for the daily grind. However, now and again she has a weekday off therefore she gets to sleep in while I get up and going. Today was one of those days. I love those days. I'm not a real sappy or emotional guy but the sight of her peacefully sleeping in the morning (by "peacefully" I mean sprawled out all over the place with her hair all messed up and possibly even snoring) reminds me of how lucky a guy I am.

I've made a few good decisions in life and am super grateful that they've led me to her. She'll have dinner ready by the time I get home, help me move a couch, sew me new helmet liners, let me ride my bike and work in the garage as much as I want, shoot guns, make cookies, get all dressed up to go out or wear jeans and a flannel and work in the yard, she's funny as hell and has a huge heart, she loves my family and friends and my family and friends love her. Plus she's tall and really hot. Chicks simply don't get any better than her. She's the cream of the crop. This post is getting way to sappy and gross. So, there.

Perfect Sunday

Rode to the country with my chick, found this rad little cafe. Ate outside in a garden and stuff. Real good times. 

 

This is part of the garden where they have chairs, table and benches randomly placed for people to sit and eat. 

They even show movies every Saturday night on this screen mounted on the side of an old barn. They said the movie starts "about when it gets dark" and they play them throughout the year "until it's pretty cold out".

Hoolie Hoops

These babies keep her very busy, very happy and in all kinds of local media attention. Plus, she's super good at it and I'm real proud of what she's doing with this passion of hers.

Agnes the Goat

I really wish I could spend more time like this. We named the goat Agnes, if you were wondering.
