i looked today and realized that i haven't blogged for almost a whole month… you see, the thing about that is i've been writing, going through photos & scouring everyplace possible for the perfect quotes. but they're still sitting in my ever-growing collection of drafts… so today i decided to stop the streak of silence and prove that i'm still breathing.
you see, one of the things about living overseas, is that you still do some of the same things in life that you do in the states, they're just done a little differently.
like now, i'm not just the person that everyone yells for when they see a spider, now i get to catch lizards too. yeah, lizards have made their home in our pantry (and kitchen, and living room, and a lot of other places…) which is totally okay with me because they keep the bugs down. but mom has a borderline hatred for anything that has scales; so when she yells, i come a-running.

also, instead of just naming pets and the animals on the lot i've also taken to naming the creatures who like to live in my ceiling. wether birds or rats, they are all named george, just for convenience sake.
because everyone knows that being normal is way overrated…
outside of lizard & spider wrangling, i've been loving our little farm (we're currently drowning in chicks) & wading through school with the help of coffee & black licorice (see above quote).
and just a tip in case you've got some record going for not crying, don't watch the help. amazing movie, but oh my goodness i bawled my eyes out.
