Trevor and I also have plans to have family pictures done. I love the colors of fall, so I'm pretty excited to get some prof. pictures done outside (by the same guy who did our wedding, he's awesome). So be expecting a picture of us within a month or so!
For those who havn't heard, (or those who have) I have made the decision to refrain from eating meat, that hasn't been ethically treated and slaughtered. It's been tough the last couple weeks, but after watching If Slaughter Houses had Glass Walls, Everyone Would be A Vegetarian, I just can't bring myself to eat anything commercially grown/processed. I just don't trust anything I havn't investigated anymore. For Trevor, I imagine it's been difficult because I tend to make more vegetarian meals now, but I still sneak in a turkeyloaf now and again for him, and he does adore salad like me. BUT, my wonderful husband has...wait for it...SHOT HIS VERY FIRST DEER!
Isn't he awesome!?
Meat is back on the table! Or should I say Venison is now on the table! So now we have a deer that lived happily and naturally, and died quick and painless. I'm pretty happy, Trevor is ecstatic. I'm hoping the hunting season will keep us pretty stocked on meat that I can actually eat.
Our days are still filled with school and work, but two or three times a week, I get to go to a boarding stable, and go horseback riding. It's an absolutely amazing feeling to be able to do something I'm passionate about, and I love being able to just go the stable, tack up, and ride. I have started groundwork with an abused horse, and he is beautiful and so willing to please. I'm building trust so that one day he will be able to have his feet handled, and to be bridled. I hope to get a video of lunging him so you can see how pretty he is!
Well that's the update for now, for those in the Tri, we hope to see you soon when we visit for our neices birthday!
