Hi Y'all . . . The past few months have been quite eventful. As most of you know by now Schuy and I are breeding.. JK... we are having (to our surprise) a baby in August. I am now 4 months along, done with the first trimester THANK GOODNESS! It has been quite the experience this pregnancy thing . . . Schuyler can tell you all about it, he loves being stuck with a hormonally charged crazy woman 24/7! Living on the ranch actually has really been such a blessing for me while pregnant, I can't think of a better place to be. The air so pure and clean, the bright high elevation sun each day, no city day to day stress etc. What a perfect place to be. 
Ranch life is good. Schuyler is truly the happiest man. He is passionate about living here and what really makes him smile is to know that he had a full hard day of work. He has a few projects going at this time. Hes been busy putting in a very expensive well and sprinkler system for the 80 acre pasture (because of the lack of moisture each year) for a greener pasture for the horsies. He also is organizing a wider,safer landing strip for the docs airplane. And we are putting in a new greenhouse. We are so excited to have fresh herbs and real tomatoes out our back door again, considering the produce we do get up here in Wyomin' is all very old, fake(genetically modified) vegetables . . . yuck! This will be my hobby and will keep me busy through this spring and summer months, I feel so lucky! I also have been keeping busy remodeling 2 cabins right now, which has been pretty dreamy. Spending gobbs of money has never been so much fun! I feel very flattered to have this job, the doc seems to put a lot of trust in us.
The ranch is the most harsh and wonderful place I have ever experienced. Enduring the winter months has surely been the crux, with the unforgiving wind and cold, not much snow this year unfortunately, and the sheer desolation of it. But I am growing as a person because of it. The vistas are never ending, the purest I have experienced. The quietness and reverence each day is addicting. And now just starting to understand the spirit of the place. A week or two ago Schuy, the dogs and I went for a four wheeler rendezvous deeper into the mountain drainage and checked out some very old pictographs on the sandstone cliffs very close to the ranch. They were beautiful. I had seen pictographs before, but these were unique and special being so close to where I lived, and not many other people but the tribe knowing about them. Last summer schuyler had found a very old bracelet in this area that must have belonged to one of the Indian women back in the day, in which he gave to me as an engagement ring ( kind of an unusual engagement ring, but very sentimental).When I adventured in the area I found a sky blue bead possibly belonged to the same Indian women as the bracelet. Very cool! I was so psyched about my little treasure. This place has been very special to us, though it has taken me awhile to become acquired to it, coming from a city with over one million people.
Right now Ive had the opportunity to come home for a few days to visit my new little nephew Cooper. He is quite the looker, the Italian genes really show through with dark hair and a darker complection. Hes real perfect. Heather and Brian are so blessed with yet another healthy baby boy. Heather rocked and was tougher than nails pushing this guy out . . . go Heather! It is surreal to think that I will be having a little munchkin in a few months time! Well I hope you all are doing wonderful, healthy and happy. You all have a invitation to visit us at the ranch anytime....Get your 'rears' up here.......we need the company!!!
Love yous, Whitney, Schuyler, Tayo, Kaina, Yuzu and Nalu, and Ronnin
