Another Day, Another Picnic

Alex & I are really enjoying the cooler weather here, mainly because we are able to go on picnics on our days off. It's so nice to explore with him by my side. Today we went to Circle B Bar Reserve, had a picnic and walked on the trail for almost two hours.

We came across different birds, racoons and adorable squirrels. If you know anything about me, I love small woodland creatures. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's why I have a rabbit as a pet. Anyways, today was perfect. The temperature was a lovely 68 degrees, windy with just the right amount of sun.

We spent some of our adventure taking little videos that I compiled into a two minute long video. Which I'm really excited about because it truly captures how amazing this day was. If you'd like to see it, I've placed it down below.

I'm really glad that Alex's mom gave us a wicker picnic basket last night, because that means that we can go on even more picnics together - which we have both decided that it is now "our thing". I can't wait until the next one!


When was the last time you went on a picnic? Where is your favourite place to go on a picnic?

Life Lately & My Boyfriend

It's been awhile since I've done a post about my life and what's really been going on in my neck of the woods. So I figured it was time for me to bring you all back into the loop. This past July W. and I separated and the divorce was finalized in early October. Throughout the whole process I had a friend like Alex by my side helping me cope, stay sane and happy during one of the most difficult experiences of my life. And I am grateful to have someone as patient and understanding as he is.

Yes, he is mine now and I am happy to call Alex my boyfriend, again, because funny story... we actually dated for the first time when I was in eighth grade (he was a super, cool high school guy at the time). Which is weird, but pretty awesome if you ask me. He moved back to Florida two years ago and I was lucky enough to run into him this year when my life could allow it. Best of all, it feels as though no time has passed between us - even though it has really been 17 years since we saw each other last. He has truly made me the happiest I have been in a long time. So excuse my bragging for the next few moments, will you?

Alex is a professional chef. Like a really, really excellent chef. The type that can make something boring like sloppy joe's into a masterpiece. He's an incredible singer who can play guitar, bass, piano - you name it. He's great at art too - so much so that I find myself secretly jealous of his talent every time he shows me his artwork. Aside from all these awesome things about him, he is funny, sweet, caring, supportive, affectionate, loving and kind. He makes my soul feel less alone and I find myself smiling when I think about how connected we truly are. Plus, Olive approves of him and honestly if a bunny's judgement doesn't count, whose does?
