Wow, So Much Has Happened Since My 29th Birthday!
Life has been a whirlwind of excitement, personal growth, and new beginnings since I turned 29. From unforgettable celebrations to ongoing projects and personal milestones, I’ve been busier than ever!
Birthday Memories to Cherish
My birthday was nothing short of magical this year. My boyfriend Beauregarde kicked it off with an unforgettable trip to Disneyland on Halloween. Walking down Main Street with all the festive decorations and enjoying the rides together was pure joy!
My best friend Matt joined in the celebration with the most thoughtful gifts and a heartfelt card. He didn’t stop there, though—he fixed the brakes on my new e-bike! Thanks to him, I now have a reliable mode of transportation again. It’s such a relief to zip around independently.
My mom, ever thoughtful and practical, surprised me with brand-new work boots after noticing my old pair had seen better days. But the biggest surprise? She bought me a Nintendo Switch! Both Beau and Matt contributed to my new gaming obsession by gifting me Hogwarts Legacy and Animal Crossing. Matt even went a step further and introduced me to PalWorld, which is like a mix of Pokémon, Ark: Survival Evolved, and Minecraft. It’s so fun and relaxing that Matt and I both lose track of time playing it together.
Projects in Progress
The Pond and Garden
Beau and I have been hard at work transforming the yard, and the pond is nearly complete—95% there! All it needs is a few more rocks and a filter. I even planted moss at the bottom, and according to the expert at Petco, it should spread quickly with sunlight and water.
My ultimate goal is to host a potluck BBQ and outdoor movie night in April 2025. I envision a beautifully landscaped yard with a thriving pond and a lush plant wall framing the archway entrance. The plants are already making steady progress, and I can’t wait to see how it all comes together!
Revitalizing the Ranch
The old arena and tack room are also on my to-do list. Years of illness left them neglected, but I’m determined to rebuild. The tack room only needs electricity and a door to be functional, and while stalls are a future goal, I’m focusing on the essentials for now.
Academic Ambitions
I’m thrilled to share that I’m currently pursuing veterinary assistant courses, and I’m aiming to graduate with at least a 3.5 GPA (grade point average). My GPA is currently 3.3, so I’m working hard to raise it through dedication and persistence.
In addition, I’m earning my high school diploma online! There’s an option for an in-person graduation ceremony, which would be such a meaningful milestone for me. However, it’s currently beyond my budget. If anyone feels inspired to support this dream, donations would mean the world to me.
Caring for My Animals
Not everything has been smooth sailing, though. One of my chickens, Bridget, hasn’t been feeling well lately. Last night, I discovered that rats had attacked her, leaving her injured and missing feathers. She’s now recuperating indoors, where I’m keeping a close eye on her and helping her heal.
Creative Adventures and Live Streaming
On a brighter note, I’m excited to announce that I’ll be live streaming soon! I’ll be sharing gaming sessions, creative projects, and life on the ranch. Stay tuned to my website for my Twitch and TikTok streaming schedule. I’d love for you to join me and be part of the journey.
