Our Story} How The Boy Popped The Question

For those of you who don’t yet know, yesterday something incredibly magical and life-changing happened for me: The Boy & I got engaged. And for those of you who don’t know, The Boy’s real name? Jason. Let’s call him “J.”

And now for the million-dollar question, How did he do it? Well ladies (and gents), I’m about to tell you…

On Friday evening we were out in Rockport celebrating our beautiful friends Ross and Megan’s wedding. While we were dancing (and perhaps after a tad too much wine), J asked me if I’d like to go for a run with him in the morning on the Charles before we took off for his mother’s 60th birthday celebration.

I immediately laughed at him and teased him for suddenly showing such interest in exercise. While he most definitely works out from time to time, usually I’m the one pushing we go on runs together more often. He snapped back at me that it’s only going to be fall for so long and we should take advantage of the weather while we can. So I agreed.

The next morning I woke up exhausted and somewhat hungover. J was no longer in bed, so I went to look for him and found him stretching in the living room. “Ready for our run baby? I already brewed the coffee!’

With eyes half shut and hair in my face, I told him he was crazy and that I’d rather go back to bed. But after a bite to eat and some coffee, suddenly a river run was sounding quite enticing.

So we set out for our Saturday morning run…together…both not feeling 100% but forging through. I noticed when we just crossed over to the Charles that J had his hand in his pocket a couple times & some suspicion set in but I brushed it off and thought, “No way…you’re just over-thinking things again Rachel!”

As we came around the small bridge bringing us closer to the water, J tripped and took a major digger. “Ouch, my ankle!” “Are you OK?” I replied back as I continued to jog in place. And he just kept shouting “My ankle!” Then he said “My wrist, I mean my ankle!”

So I walked a little closer to him, and he grabbed my hands, got down on one knee and told me he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. Then he popped the question…right there in front of my favorite weeping willow tree on the Charles River…overlooking Boston. The city we love. The city that brought us together. He had been waiting to take me to that tree until he proposed.

I said yes.

Runners passing by began shouting and cheering for us as we embraced under my special spot. It was absolutely perfect, more than I ever dreamed of it to be.

The most special part of the story is that he proposed on his mother’s birthday, who for those of you who don’t know has been coping with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease for several years now. This year, her husband (J’s step-father) threw a beautiful party for her to celebrate her 60th birthday among 120+ friends and family.

To be there with her, sharing the beautiful day with so much laughter, love and good food, was more than I could ever ask for.

Feeling so much love & joy right about now.

How to Care for your new baby chickens in Tioga, North Dakota Baby chicks are extremely charming and also tough to resist, yet it's finest to prepare for their arrival before you obtain them. Prepare first by compiling not just the correct products, however likewise the appropriate understanding to take care of them. Raising baby chicks is reasonably basic, you just have to give them with the following: A clean and warm and comfortable habitat Plenty of food as well as water Attention and also love Habitat Your environment could be a basic box, aquarium, cat carrier, or guinea porker cage. Line it with old towels and coverings (without loose strings!) to begin, and after a couple of weeks utilize straw over newspaper. Note: Avoid utilizing just newspaper or various other sandal surfaces-- or your chicks legs can expand malformed. You also require something to dish out food as well as water in, such as a chicken feeder as well as water dish from the feed store, or a pickle jar cover for food as well as a family pet bird water dispenser from a pet dog store. Additionally, as the chicks grow older you could introduce a perch into the habitat to get them trained on setting down. Warmth To keep your chicks warm you should provide them with a warmth source. This can be as easy as a 100 watt light bulb in a reflective clamp design light from a hardware store, or an infrared reptile warmth bulb additionally function effectively (my suggestion). Chicks need this heat 24/7 until their downy fluff is changed with feathers (which can take up to two months). The newly hatched need a temperature level in between 90 as well as 100 degrees, and weekly this can be lowered by around 5 degrees or so. The warmth source must be on merely one side of the cage to allow chicks a variety of temperature levels. The chicks are your finest thermometer- if they are concealing in the other corner of your heat lamp, you have to reduce the temperature level. If they are surrounding each various other under the heat (not just curling up), you need to add some heat. Housekeeping Sanitation is vital and it keeps your chicks healthy and balanced. Make sure to change the bed linen commonly as well as always offer clean food as well as water Food as well as water. Chicks expand quite fast which calls for plenty of clean food and also water. Provide sufficient in any way times and inspect frequently to avoid parched and also hungry chicks. Chick food is different than grown-up chicken food, and also it is available in both medicated and also non-medicated ranges. Feed chick food for the very first two months, then switch to a grower food (~ 17 % protein) for an additional 2 months, and afterwards to a slightly lower healthy protein feed or a layer feed (if you have layers). Dirt Some chicks like to get a running start on taking dirt baths, while others will not take up that task until they are older. If you have the area in your chick unit, present a tray of sand or dirt for them to shower in. Attention as well as love There are a few advantages to hanging out with your chicks. Firstly, they will certainly probably bond with you and also not escape as adults. Second, if you examine your chicks daily and also view their habits, you can catch health problem or other problems earlier. Watch out for hissing, limping, or other undesirable indicators. Make certain to additionally consider their poop, as diarrhea can result in matted plumes and also obstructed cloaca. Finally, it is important to keep an eye out for social issues, such as the smallest chick obtaining badgered. Vacant nest disorder So your chicks are now totally feathery and also its time for them to leave the safety of your residence as well as relocate outside into a cage.
