One of my favorite bloggers, Kaylah of The Dainty Squid, challenged herself to take a photo every day of the year last year. She called it Project 365. Now she’s challenging others to do so, too. It sounds fun, so I’m going to try and do this. 🙂 Here’s my first week! ~*~*~*~*~*~ 365:1 I

DeForest and I spent about 3 hours today going to something like twenty garage

Kittens, Family, and Thrifting!!
I went up to Ionia on Wednesday to visit DeForest’s family and see the kittens! I’m getting a kitten in about a month now, and I wanted to check them out and choose one from the litter. I’ve never had a pet that I’ve taken care of before! (Mom always took care of the dog.)
