RIP Bun-Bun Hopper

On Friday night, my son Nicholas lost his beloved rabbit, Bun-Bun. He had lived with us for over four years. We got him as an adult rabbit and was told he was 1 year old but we don't know that for sure. He was at least 5. He was the sweetest most lovable bunny ever. He would perk up when I would call his name cause he knew I was about to give him a treat. When we let him walk around the hallway, he would follow me. He was also a ninja. We had a little pen for him to get his daily exercise and he would also jump out of it... but never when we were watching. He had a mansion. He was well loved and cared for... spoiled really.

A year ago, Nicholas noticed he had a growth on his neck so we rushed him to the vet and turns out it was an abscess and was common for rabbits. But good thing that Nick took such good care of him cause if it had burst, he would have died back then most horribly.

Bun-Bun died in Nicholas' arms. It was the most heart-wrenching thing to watch as my son grieved. We were both a bundle of tears. :( Since we are moving, we didn't want to bury him in our pet cemetery we have in the back of our property. I immediately started looking up cremation places in our area. We managed to find one not far from here and called their 24/7 line. Brian thought it was going to be so expensive. This place would pick up Bun-Bun and cremate him, and deliver a ceramic urn. All included for $100. I thought that was a pretty good deal. They said they videotape all cremations in case we EVER wonder if we really got our rabbit. So they came and got Bun-Bun yesterday and we will get him back on Monday or Tuesday.

Nicholas left for camp last night. We got to the church and it was so hot! I was melting. We had to stand in a line outside and it was oppressive. But once we got his luggage squared away and signed in and he got his wristband... He hooked up with a friend he made the very first year that he went to camp. He has been every year since fifth grade and now he is going to be a junior! Every year this friend and he hook up and sit together on the bus ride. The high schoolers go to the beach in Florida. It was great to see his friend find him and they did the man hug and shake. LOL Well, they are still traveling, he already text me this morning saying they are in Mississippi. I am so glad he can have this experience every year. I hope where they are is far enough east they won't have the tar balls they are finding in Pensacola from the oil spill.

Anyway... time for church online!

Nine years! Woohoo!

So Brian and I made it to 9 fabulous years of marriage! It sure did fly by. I guess that is a good thing, right? Since we both had to work, we just went to dinner and decided on Tokyo One. All you can eat sushi and Japanese food bar. Brian approved and said the food there was pretty authentic to what he remembers when he lived in Okinawa. I was gobbling up the sushi at a rapid rate. SOOoo good. We were so stuffed when we were done. ;D And to think I was told I was just temporary. I do love my husband and feel really blessed to have him in my life.

Well, I have been gathering boxes from work and this weekend we start the packing. I cannot WAIT!!! I am super excited about moving. We were able to get some pics of the house. Here are a few of them:





Various veiws of the house right now. It looks way smaller in the pics than it really is but since it is just us four now, it's perfect.

Nicholas leaves for camp this weekend. It is really great that his dad can help him get to go to camp for the past four years or so. Maybe it's five years now... I cannot believe he is going to be sixteen this summer!

Well that is all for now. :) My weekend starts now. Woohoo!
