3rd week of March: Got chickens?!
I've written about our chickens in detail but did you know that the decision to get those little ladies was a spontaneous decision? While living with Luke's mom, one day Luke decided: "Today I'm going out to get chickens." and that was pretty much the end of it. We kept them in the garage in a galvanized tub for WEEKS. And, yes, it stunk. Chickens. Stink.
4th week of March: Bought Grandpa's truck
What do you do right after you get chickens? You get a truck. And just LOOK at this beauty. Grandpa's truck is a beauty.
3rd week of may: Left for our trip to Colorado!
I have never been in that kind of terrain. The awe that strikes you when you're standing in the presence of a mountain covered in snow or you're standing on top of pike's peak at almost 14,000 feet, will take your breath away. I would go back every year if I could!
Last week of May: Chickens Died :(
Yes, it's true. We may have slightly jumped the gun on our dream of having chickens... Just a word of wisdom, maybe keep chickens on land you live on so they're easier to check on! Oh and also... probably shouldn't ruin your Mother-in-law's poor garage... wait to ruin your own.
3rd week of June: Luke GETS A JOB!! And shortly after...
1st week of July: We move to Indiana!
3rd week of July: Brought home our second kitten, Lady.
When we first got Fonz we were in WAY over our head, he was a CRAZY stray. He was incredibly wild and playful and would side wind everything tiny thing and attack anything that moved. We even considered not taking him to Indiana with us. But then we got a "brilliant" idea. Get him a playmate! That'll calm him down. We took a shot figuring maybe he was so crazy because he was taken away from his litter mates so soon. And it worked!
Last week of August/labor day: Fillepelly!
Our Christmas in July is nicknamed fillepelly and this year was postponed to September. Making it Christmas in July in September.
4th week of October: Home for Lemon's 1st birthday and sold big blue.
Well since our chickens died so many months back we decided we really weren't in need of the big blue truck anymore. The gas mileage wasn't that great and there were a few safety concerns. We did keep it in the family though! And our precious niece turned 1! She is a huge gift to her whole family.
3rd week of December: Home for the holidays 💗
It's safe to say that while living in Indiana, we sure did miss our family. We haven't been able to see everyone nearly as much as we'd like and treasure the time we get to spend with them. It's amazing when you move how you realize what family and friends mean to you.
2017, We will never get a chance to relive or redo you. But we hope that what we've accomplished has been enough that we won't wish "If only..."
2018, bring it on.
