No Ceiling

spring has officially sprung at the cabin. 

i am also officially 25 years old. 

yay?

right off the bat i'll say sorry for the lack of pictures. i've been having some issues with my camera. they'll be up soon. 

i've been doing my best to stay busy these past few weeks. i've completely cleaned the cabin from every dark, dusty corner to the tops of the walls in every room (which were in dire need of a good scrub down).

i have about a million different recipes i'd like to try out and have been doing my best to knock them out, one by one. this weekend i made some ridiculously juicy, good pork chops, brine courtesy of Smitten Kitchen.

i've also begun planning my little garden and need to get a move on planting. i signed up for the community produce exchange, and i'm pretty stoked to have fresh, local veggies ALL SUMMER. 

honestly, things have been really tough without kesey dog by my side. i've been pretty distant lately, for that i apologize, but i just really need some peace and quiet. 

just wanted to put a tiny update out there.

oh, and one more thing. i know this album came out quite some time ago, i had actually picked it up on its release date, but it's really been a car staple for me recently. maybe it's because i've harbored a borderline obsessive crush on eddie vedder since his pearl jam ten days, but i am in love with the into the wild soundtrack. if you haven't heard, please check it out. if you can't afford to pick it up, email me. i'd be more than happy to burn you a copy or whatever. 

ok, that's all.

goodnight, and be well.

for kesey, may you rest in peace.

hey there.

so, i know it's been a while since i've last posted, much longer than i had ever imagined, and i just wanted to let you know it's not you; it's me. 

things have been pretty insane over the past few months. we've been blessed with a beautiful colorado winter, snow and sunshine aplenty.

the reason for my post is not very light-hearted. 

last tuesday, february 26th, my 5 year old dog kesey was put to sleep. it was very unexpected and completely devastated me. he got very sick very quickly, and it was a choice i made with his best interest in mind. he taught me so much about myself and living life to its fullest. he is deeply loved and is missed terribly. 

there may be a bit more time between this and my next post. 

i have been feeling very quiet lately.
