chicken

i was the little girl who brought animals home. and now i am the grown woman who plans on having a little house with a lot of land and an elephant. so do i really need to say anything else except for ava named them both "sprinkle" and "drizella" and cried when she found out they both had lost their mommy and their daddy? then she tried to hold them, which didn't go over well.allow me to end this post with a little shout out to my husband. sometimes i hear couples say things along the lines of, "my spouse and i were made for eachother" which always leads me to make a face (i have a very low tolerance for cheese). i don't know if i was so much made for ryan, i think perhaps i am more difficult and someone who was made for him would be a bit more agreeable, but i think that ryan was made for me. it was like god's peace offeringto the world for putting me here or something. if you all have to deal with me, you might as well have a ryan to make everything much better.

what i mean by all that is this: ryan doesn't care much for animals. what he does care for is cleanliness, which is harder to come by if there's an animal around. so despite the numerous moments of cringing when he's seen me walk in the door with a box that has holes cut into the sides, he never really complains. and i think that's really cool of him. also, very tolerant. and nice.
