I'm an idealist at heart

Last night Dave took Tuesday out for a walk.

He told me that there was a bunny outside the front door

Excitedly I ran out to go see him.

But this bunny was no ordinary bunny

He looked just like the rabbits in pet stores, he was fluffy and clean, and he knew people.

Suddenly I got incredibly worried.

What if the little bun was lost?

What if his human just let him go?

What do I do?

I made Dave get the kitten carrier and a towel

And we tried for nearly an hour to try and get him to come home with us.

Some time into the rescue mission, the bunny stood up and started shaking

He stumbled backwards and collapsed on the ground

(I was sitting so close I could touch him)

And my worry shot up

This was a sick rabbit.

As much as I wanted to save this little love, I had too many things to consider:

I have a puppy

I have a kitten

I want them healthy and happy

I couldn't risk their health, or Dave and I's.

So we walked away from the nibbling, convulsing bunny

And I said a prayer.

~I have a habit of trying to rescue animals. When I was little I saved kittens, puppies, bunnies, birds, lizards, and when I was very little, I even tried to save a fly. I used to hide them in my closet, or the shed when my parents were home (they had the run of the house when they weren't). I went door to door to try and either find the home they ran from, or for a home where they could go to.

(In fact a month ago I followed a puppy in a snowstorm down 7+ blocks to try and save him.

I wasn't able to grab him either.)

I guess this entry is a thank you to others like me

I'd like to think that if my dog/cat got out, that someone would try and save them for me too.

And to my boyfriend, who stood on an ant hill for at least 10 minutes so that he didn't scare him off into the street

And this entry is for that rabbit.

I hope you're okay, handsome.

Have a wonderful weekend, and be sure to hug your little beasties just a little harder for me today

Easter 2010

Easter 2010 was phenomenal! I can't believe I've had three Easters with David already, but I'm so glad we've stuck with our tradition and had not only an egg dying party, but an egg hunt (two technically) AND a picnic at a beautiful, blooming park with all of our friends!

Everyone was so charming, and we ended up getting some very artistic eggs decorated. The party didn't end until about 2:30 in the morning!



(The cream of the crop =)
After the eggs were finished we all played a few rounds of Sequence (my all time favorite), and then Byron serenaded Dave with an original ballad, "Backseat Boyfriend".





We all met up at Goodale Park on Sunday with about 3 dozen eggs and picnic food ready to go. The park was a liiittle to cramped, so we ended up eating our lunch in a beautiful gazebo that looked out at a gorgeous pond =] It's cheating a little, I know. But it was worth it. No sunburns, hizzah!





The competition was cutthroat and all of us were out for blood. While we waited for the boys to finish hiding our eggs among the stunning flowers and blossomed trees, we played with puppies and posed for the camera while threatening to kill each other. We were all ladies, just very vile ones.





The girls teamed up against me (I'm a pro you know), and ended up stealing eggs from a little kid hunt to try and beat me. I swear they lost, but Theresa still swears that didn't happen.





There WAS some shoving, screaming, running, and name calling involved



After the boys found their eggs (3 of which were placed near a bees nest to kill Byron), we decided to call it a day <3 target="_blank" title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img263.imageshack.us/i/easter2010046.jpg/">

I couldn't have asked for a better Holiday, or for better friends <3!>

I know, I know...

Apparently I only post when the seasons change x_x

Dave and I have been lusting for spring to come, and it's finally here!

Wildflowers are bursting through the grass, trees are changing into blooming pastels like fireworks across the sky, the weather is perfect, people are happy...

SPRING IS FINALLY HERE!
