🌻Cats have 9 lives. Believe it! So about 3 days ago I mourned the loss of this here kitty cat. I came home from work on Wednesday and I asked Andrew if he had seen her. He told me he had but she had run up under his truck and that he didn't realize later when he would drive off she would still be there. I just knew she was a goner. We had only had Marty maybe 2 weeks and she was already gone. I was so sad and had already mourned the loss of her. Last night before Andrew got home playing golf I walked up and down our road calling her. Nothing 😭 This morning I let Layla out to do her business and I nearly fell over. Here comes little Marty running up to me on the front porch. Almost 4 days later!! Andrew was for sure awake after that because I woke him up in tears. Lots of people probably judge me for my attraction to animals.. even cats. The girl who never owned a cat in her life.

Today my chickens followed me as I went to get their food. THIS IS A BIG DEAL!

I have different voices for all of my animals. I don't know how Andrew puts up with me 😅 "CHICKENNNNNNNNNNNNS" as I swing open the back door. Today they followed me by the sound of my voice and it was hilarious. That was a first. They now know and recognize when this Chicken lady is going to feed them.

I never really imagined this life for me. I always dreamed of living on a farm with all kinds of animals and here I am! I'm the most impaitent person on this planet. I wish I could be more like my precious husband. He's so kind, patient, suave, humble.

We (Andrew mostly) have been working hard. Like REALLY hard. In a way, this stupid quarantine has blessed us. We have turned this place upside down (again, mostly Andrew 🤣) and it's slowly but surely progressing in to a dream. I came home from work last week and our front walkway was ripped out of the ground.. and the time now from then, we have turned that busted up concrete in to our new Oasis (if you will) 😅 I just paint the things. Andrew is so dang talented. And very strong 😍 He never complains and is always ready to break a sweat in this Texas heat. I don't know what I ever did so right... 👐

*edit Andrew also built this BBQ pit from the floor up. We just painted it black and it is s m o k i n.

*Picture this*

Sunday memorial Hot Dogs and food at Andrews Uncle Ronnies. Storm blowing our way, every uncle checking their radars on their phones.

We head home to beat the Storm, get home and the Traverse is in the middle of the drive way, under no tree or any coverage.

"THROW ME YOUR KEYS AFTER YOU OPEN THE FRONT DOOR, ILL PULL THE CAR IN THE GARAGE"

*me thinking, "oh s**t. The kitty is probably under my hood😭 (not the brand new kitties.. but one we just adopted) *Andrew thinking the exact same thing knowing I'm about to throw a fit if he starts the car with meowing almost overthrowing lightening strikes and rain.

Andrew- gets on the 4 wheeler pulling the trailer.. hauls off to the barn.

Raylee- "*oh my gosh.. new kitty under hood of my car. About to possibly hail*" .. **THROWS CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUSHES TRAVERSE TO GARAGE 😭😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅**

Marty the kitty is safe in the garage now and I'm watching my precious as can be husband hold his arms up to the sky stand in the middle of the rain.
Life is good.

Taken tonight over the Wall Co-op. Storm broke up and didn't quite make it to the farm.

Wellll s**t. What y'all doin?

Today a very very very best friend of mine from WAY back when, told me she had lunch with her mom recently in Lubbock and her mom told her that, "Raylee was the happiest married person she has ever seen"

Y'all, being married completely changes your life. Thank the Lord above for not just listening to me down on my knees that day praying to change my life, but for already having that planned for me so that I could continue to put my faith in him for one more day. Every month that I learn I'm not pregnant, I learn the very next day why. Andrew and I are FRESH. We met 4 years ago this month on the 12th. We are still learning each other. We are still building a home together. All of the, "when are you going to make a baby" talk ruins me. Leave us alone.. You're trying to alter my plans that God so exquisitely placed in order.

*currently looking at my perfect man child husband who opens cracker boxes upside down, soak in our matching Rubbermaid water agricultural "pool" 🤣🤣🤣

I've come to the point in my life where I feel like I want to start a blog.

Stay tuned to for Rijen (🗣 `gin) Farms moments, pictures and more. I pray a lot out here and some times I can't believe this is my life now.

Sneak peak of how it's going as a "chicken farmer" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🐔
