You haven't experienced a real thunderstorm until you live in oklahoma and wake up at 3 am to the piercing sound of thunder and the brightest lightning you've ever seen. That was me last night (or i should say this morning...) around 3 am. Denali was so freaked out he was scratching on our bedroom door almost about to knock it down! Shabon willingly got up and slept on the couch to keep him calm so i could try and sleep. Our bed faces the front yard and we have 2 big vertical windows on either side of our tv. So while I was trying to ignore everything...i couldn't help but look outside. I couldn't see much (since I was half asleep and the rain was poring like you wouldn't believe) but I was able to see the very dark silhouette of the big tree every time the lightning struck. It was scary. Needless to say it took awhile to fall back asleep and i'm really tired today. I hope all of you slept better last night than me and shabon...;-)

farm animals galore!
We have been adding to our farm family from a new puppy...chicks...more chicks...kittens...and now horses! As far as the kittens go we started with 2 (which I named calvin and hobbes in memory of my 2 cats as a child) but now we have a 3rd kitten. She followed us down from the barn where we were keeping the horses. There are 6 more kittens up there that have managed to stay put. There are also multiple goats up at Harvey's house (shabon's dad) with a rooster, duck, and oh yea a new baby deer (it looks just like bamby) i haven't gotten any pictures of them yet. We adopted 2 horses from a lady in Kansas who just didn't have the time to ride them. They are both broke and very gentle. The chicks are growing very fast and we've got more baby chicks as well. My job is going great...I can't believe it's been almost a month since i've started! Shabon is doing really well at his job and made it in the top 3 for salesman of the month! We miss all of you so much, I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. Stay tuned for more posts...I promise it won't be as long for the next one :-)
