Don't disturb the beast while he is feeding on the rose

 

I’ve been gone for a few weeks; hope you all have been enjoying the summer thus far. We made the move into our new home and I do feel quite comfy already. Pippin loves all the extra space and the backyard with all the flying, crawling and squirming creatures. She makes a habit of killing and eating at least one fly a day. So many new things are circling our life right now, it’s all very exciting!

I got my first tattoo on Friday and it was quite the experience. My beautiful, creative friends (and belly dance instructor) Lisa punctured my skin with a needle and various colors to make my tattoo dream come true.

   The horses are from the cover of the My Brightest Diamond Album, Tear It Down. If the name sounds familiar it’s because it is also the name of my blog :) That album had such an impact on me when I was going through a very difficult time with Jay. I’d often go to the local park and smoke a little, write a bit and listen to this album. The quote is “and the gunslinger followed”, which is the first line from my favorite Stephen King series The Dark Tower…the flowers are just a beautiful addition :)  I have a feeling this is the first of many.

 

Another piece of great news, we will be getting puppy in the coming weeks!!! This is our first doggie together and we are SO excited! We decided to adopt through Fresno Bully Rescue, a local Pit Bull rescue after talking to Lisa about her experience with them and how much she loves her new pit Milly. We have gone through the home inspection and our application was approved! Next step is choosing our new pup from the litter and taking him/her home on the 10^th. We are thrilled to say the least.

 

Hope you enjoy these sunny, warm days. I leave you with this very distinguished photo of our dear one. She is quite handsome.
