A Modest Proposal

I'm engaged!

A year ago I never would have thought this would be the case

hell, I wouldn't have thought I'd be engaged 6months ago!

But I happened to meet the perfect man not so long ago

We are two peas in a pod

similar but different enough to be interesting

he loves me

i love him

I didn't think he existed

the one who is as perfect for me as I am for him

now don't get me wrong,

he's certainly not perfect

but he's perfect for me.

he gave me a beautiful ring

proposed on horseback in the rolling hills of upstate New York.

We'll get married in a year or two, once I'm finished with school.

We'll have a small hobby farm and provide for ourselves.

I'm estatic

I never thought I'd meet the one

but here he is!

A blessing indeed. :)

Change on the wind

The summer is over and I neglected this poor blog.

I have a lot of plans for the winter, lots of projects I'd like to start (and finish!)

I'm hoping to embark on an adventure towards a more self-sufficient and sustainable life.

So, stay tuned. Once I move back home and get things settled I plan to update lots more!.

droller than it is now

-----

i can't wait to hit the road again

i'm anxious to see what this year will bring

Magnify the Most Difficult Details

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

One day you're certain of what you're doing

You've planned the next bit out

Even given some thought to next year

Then Life sneaks up on you

and trips you

things get all muddled

you're not so certain of your plans anymore

if only it were easier

it's such a sensitive situation

it is though inevitable

i always knew

i had hoped, and thought perhaps that

it would have lasted longer

a chasm has been torn asunder

it's disintegrating

-----

if only to demolish the old

to make way for the new

it does not come without a price

-----

i realize now

what it could be like

----

it's simple a matter of capturing it.....
