Ashley Klump

Wedding Weekend

in

It’s going to take me a moment to fully transcribe all the love and gratitude I have for this weekend.

Firstly, to Ashley Klump, for loving this crazy fox enough to give me a shot at the ultimate commitment.

Secondly, to all the friends and family, that came from near and far and helped put all the little pieces together to make this a celebration a reality! I’m going to miss a lot of names so give me time to take notes and better explain each in depth.

Off the top of my head, Chelsey, Alex Edmands, Clyshaw, Burt, Elaine, Aunt Mag, Craig and Kristie Klump, Bonnie Latham.. Damn I know I am forgetting so many! Hank! Flying Caravan! Ian Rowan! All the volunteers at TCWL!

Holy wow ya’ll! Seeing our families commingle, seeing what our little nieces found magical in nature! All the little art pieces!

The giant canvases everyone collaborated to create, the little everyone painted, we’ve yet to fully absorb, the gifts and cards from everyone, (Josh and Hank) for the handmade art gifts, all the beautiful toasts… Matt! Nate! for becoming closer and better friends! Nicole for the sound advice of staying hydrated and helping Ashley and my self in so many ways it’ll days to explain!

I am beyond words and there are many more moments to share!

It felt necessary to try and write a little while I’m still buzzing!

Atomic for the flowers!

Bethany and Brian for photos and video, we cannot wait to see!

Thank you everybody! I am so grateful and love you ALL SO FREAKIN MUCH!

Kellen and Brit for helping get the food! AAaaaah!!! I know there are so many more to thank! and I will! Either digitally or most likely in a hand written note. You made this fox and swan’s dream a reality and it wouldn’t have been the same without every freakin one of you! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!!

The Day A Hummingbird Came Into Our Home

Ashley and my self were doing home chores today when a hummingbird flew into our home.

I have been following hummingbird’s magic for a few years now.

There use to be a hummingbird that came to the powerline in front of the place i lived before and sit there and sing every morning when I sat on the porch for my morning coffee.

I have learned their songs and see them sitting in trees or sitting on powerlines almost daily.

Flying into our home though. That’s something else. Wow!

It gets better!

After carrying the hummingbird to the courtyard… It’s challenging to describe the feels of holding such a magical, fragile creature… well hummy flew on and Ashley and I are full adreneline and look up and see a rainbow over our home.

It gets better!

In the midst of absorbing all the magic of those two moments, we look up the humminmgbird in the spirit animal / totem animal book and the following words stood out.

That’s a whole lot of symbolism. Pray for rain everyone. We need it out west.

That’s it! // Until the next moment!

friendly smiles. narrow lanes.

blue jays.. snarky, loud, and confident.

i’ve been noticing how blue jays will fly to a bottom branch of a tree and hop up branch to branch until they reach the top.

i saw a hummingbird just now taking out the trash. heard em before i saw him. took a moment to look up and find my breath and then poof they this is, sitting in the top of the tree singing.

if you can’t fix it, listen to jimi hendrix.

listening to 1983 by Jimi Hendrix right now. Well the entire third and final album of his. that’s the current track playing, thanks for the suggestion Aaron.

well the sun is bright today. the air is cool. and i’m beginning to understand this term spring cleaning. the sun shines in for the first time in months and all those dusty corners become oh so apparent. so i’m going to clean a bit so i can art and create after.

Ashley Klump gets home today, also!

So until the next moment, fellow earthlings. be free.
