My blog is soon to be following my unexpected, yet totally lovely, move to Durango, CO, to be with the man of my dreams, Ben. In the meantime, I will slowly put to an end my time in Athens, GA, and make every effort possible at keeping up with on "Birds of a Feather" the prepping for the move and memories I will make up until the end of July.

I would also really like to start displaying some of my photos, creations, and decorating and fashion ideas because, wouldn't you know, that's my actual passion. Now that Ben has told me that he'd like me to write my dissertation and ride horses after I move, I have become filled with energy. Almost like I have a new lease on life. I plan to wholeheartedly embrace this (and the fact that he could not have given me a better gift, EVER!) and take time to start a garden, do home projects, ride horses (a lot), cook, sew, take photographs, make jewelry, ride my bike, do yoga, and go to the gym. Most importantly, I plan to be a good mom to Lily, Philia, and Blue, and an excellent girlfriend to the man who deserves nothing less. Oh, and I might get that blasted dissertation done.

Wait until you see this place. My heart is going to melt there. I love it.
