I Love and Cherish

This post is dedicated to those I love. 

This is Marcus, my wonderful husband.  We started dating April 8th and we married September 8th.  He is a true blessing in my life.  He makes me laugh when I'm down and makes me cry from feeling so in love.  We support and accept each other.  I feel so intensely lucky to have him in my life. 

Here we are on my 29th birthday.  He is on the left and I'm on the right:

 And now come my pets.  I am a proud "mommy" to Ziggy the hedgehog and Popcorn the guinea pig. 

Ziggy actually used to be viscious.  You can't tell in his pictures, but he was quite a biter.  I had given him to a good friend of mine to rehabilitate him.  The solution to the problem: he needed to be held in a blanket.  It was something so simple but it made a HUGE difference.  He eventually stopped biting and now lets me hold him with bare hands again.  I chose to have him rehabilitated rather than give him away because I loved him regardless and did not want to give up on him.  Afterall, I was all he knew since he was 7 weeks old.  He's turned into such a sweetheart.  He LOVES ham!

Here he is puffing up at a tiny Christmas bow.  He's adorable!:

 

 

 Introducing a new member of my family: Popcorn the guinea pig!  Popcorn is very talkative and loves to get hugs and gives kisses.  He is only 10 weeks old.  His favorite thing to do is hop up and down in his cage in excitement during food time.  His food of choice: carrots.  He loves them!

Baby Popcorn:

 

 

 

I just wanted to make this post because I feel blessed to have Marcus, Ziggy and Popcorn.

 I couldn't feel more content than I am at this point in my life...
