Our Shadow is Sick =(

We have been dealing with some sad issues and ask for any prayers and good thoughts you'd like to send our way. Shadow has been pretty sick and despite numerous tests, the reason is yet to be determined. We have pretty much ruled out everything except cancer. Not cool; I am devastated because I honestly thought he'd live forever. I am trying to come to terms with this but it is very hard for me. He is too old to really get extensive on any type of treatment and sedation isn't really all that safe for a cat of 15 either (he'll be 15 in September). We are hoping for the best and are giving him all the loving he can stand. He is still in good spirits but is very thin and jumping and walking is getting harder for him. =( He is my best friend and little boy all in one; he has been through every major stage in my life and has been there for me in ways he will never ever know. I am really at a loss for what to do at this point but am trying to stay strong.

Please send out some good vibes. =) I want him to enjoy all the life he has to live and will be taking so many pictures that he may go blind before I'm through. He'll be good and when it's his time, it's just his time.

I guess... =(

We love you Shadow. =)

Almost-a-Month Ridiculousness

Yes... yes. It HAS been a whole flippin' month since I have posted. This is a sad sad fact and one I am definitely not proud of. Don't feel blue though; I have neglected my crocheting as well. Oh, and everything else except eating, sleeping, and breathing. =)

Whew. School. Oh, school. We are one full year into this Master's and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the second full year. Ha! We have a year and a half left and are chuggin' right along. Besides our severely depleted social life, we are doing just fine and enjoying married life as much as our breaths between class work will allow.

I have some photos to share and am working hard to get these web-ready... bluebonnets, clouds, wildflowers, and much much more! Coming soon... seriously. =)

Thank you for your kindness and continued patience with my scatterbrain and increasingly ridiculous schedule.
