I really have so much to tell about that I don't even know where to start. It's been a while since I blogged about my little farm and family. We've had a busy and productive summer.

We have had very bad luck with our bunnies in the past. The babies die after just a few days. We did some research and found that our nesting boxes were too small. My husband built me some new boxes and now we have around ten babies that! They will be a week old tomorrow. I have to say that they are so cute that I'm worried about my ability to butcher them. If my husband can do the killing I can do the dressing. This is the first time I've doubted my ability to do the tough job. But, other animals are not so cute and fuzzy soft. I'll know how it goes in another month or so. Wish me luck.

My house is really coming along. This may be the most exciting news! This month we finished my office and the dining room. I spent the morning cleaning and moving furniture. My house is really amazing. In fact, it's like a magazine house. I don't have it decorated, but I just do a little at a time. This is something I've take a little flack over. We've been working on the house for nearly five years. I still have two bathrooms and trim work in the new house and I need to repaint the kitchen, reface the cabinets, and redo the bathroom in the old house. When we moved in we decided to do what we could afford as we could afford it. I'm glad we didn't take out a loan to get it done quickly. I've enjoyed the work, and the time spent working on it, and I don't have a load to pay back. It seems like everyone I know wants everything right now regardless of the debt it brings. I really hate that.

School starts a week from tomorrow. I'm very excited. I can't wait to do my best work. I've been researching different teaching methods, watching videos, reading books, trying things on my kids. It's pretty amazing! Next semester I'll do my internship and I really want to knock my socks!

My husband's job is going well. He has been out of law enforcement for just over ten years- at least on a full time basis. He's worked part time and tried to keep his hand in. It's funny because a lot has changed. When he left everything was DOS, now it's more advanced. And not just computers, all of the equipment is high tech. He's like a dinosaur. I don't know if any of you have ever been married to an investigator, but it has it's challenges. The last time he worked in CID I felt like I was constantly being interrogated. I warned him about how that happened before and how I didn't want to experience that again. So far he is managing things very well. It just has a way of polluting a person. They deal with the same people everyday, and they are the same people that he was dealing with ten years ago plus their children. A lot of what he has to see hurts his heart. I hope he doesn't have to take too many of those kinds of cases.

Out of time. Love you ~ bye
