My Aunt Roxy was the crazy animal lady who welcomed all creatures to her home. I’m talking feral cats, raccoons, runaway farm pigs – you name it. I would walk to her house and pet the horses and her 10+ adopted cats. I always said I wanted to be like her when I grew up. So here we are, living on 2 areas and 20 animals later. We own sheep that are so so cute (take a 5 minute break and google Babydoll Sheep – thank me later!) I have a soft spot for all of them. If it were up to me we’d own every animal known to man. I’m really thinking some baby pigs are in our future.

My husband & I planned a van trip for 4 months during the National Park Centennial of 2016 after only 3 months of dating. And we adopted a 9 week old puppy just a week before leaving. We named him Yogi. That is the start of our family and the rest is history. We do not live in a van currently but dream of buying one for weekend adventures.

Kindess goes a long way. It’s hard to find me without a smile or an easy laugh. Gratitude is important to me. I believe our light is meant to be shared and passed forward.
