Farewell, Little One

It was a rough weekend in the Davila household. Sweet little Kilimanjaro, the blind rabbit, died on Friday morning. Jaro was no normal rabbit. He was obedient, and sweet, and adventurous, and curious, and above all, incredibly patient. With children who poked him and dragged him relentlessly, to adults who helplessly flailed as they attempted to hold a rabbit for the first time, and with me, who was still figuring out how exactly to care for a slightly blind rabbit. He also had a unique relationship with other animals. He was not scared, in the slightest, of cats, or dogs. He would sit there and either ignore them, or he would kiss them. Highly unusual--bunnies are scared of EVERYTHING. Although, to make up for his bravery in that department, Jaro was scared of things that normal bunnies enjoyed, such as jumping from heights, and playing in the grass. You can't win everything, right? 

Jaro, as cheesy as this sounds, changed lives. I can't explain the number of people who met Jaro with trepidation and fear, unsure of how to hold or treat a bunny. Or with the stigma that rabbits bite, rabbits smell, rabbits don't want to be held. Some people even had past, negative experiences. Jaro was the rabbit to change their minds about that. Sweet and patient, and up for anything, that bunny made people go from stiff and nervous to cooing and laughing at his antics within minutes. I will always treasure that about him.

Overload of pictures, NOW

One of the last pictures we actually took together.

Mommy-and-Bunny Yoga!

First day of school

Once upon a time I had RED hair

One really great thing about Jaro--he LOVED piggy-back rides

With his pet bunny. He was very protective. 

Bunnies sleep like they are dead

The very first day I got Jaro. I love you forever!

PS: I got a new bunny this weekend. His name is Olympus, Oly for short, and he is so stinkin' cute that I want to cry every time he does anything ever. 

I Miss the Old

I miss this..

Oh, and this:

I miss my sweet boy-I probably wouldn't miss him as much if he were able to talk to me right now, but he's in the wilderness backpacking with his best friend. But also, he's leaving on his mission (for our church) in July. Oh how I'll miss him.

And then also I miss Nancy and Celeste. These ladies are my rocks, my foundation, my loves. I miss our late night sleepovers, our food, our talks, all of it. Hopefully Nancy will be moving to Provo soon so that she can transfer to BYU. Yayayayayay!

So update on my life:

I got a second job! At Victoria's Secret. It's like my little dream place, with all the pink, and the bows, lace, bras, panties, smelly yummy things.

I've literally bought only black clothes and accessories the last few days. Because that's our uniform. I enjoy it though. It gives me an excuse to shop ;)

So at the moment, besides the missing people and my new job, nothing else is really happening...

But, Nancy sent me this song, saying it made her think of Dane and I.

Love, Sarai

When Nancy comes to visit, it makes me wish she lived here. I already wish that, but especially when she's actually here. I think the greatest part of her coming to Provo is that she gets to hang out with Dane, which is a  really good thing, considering that I can't exactly date a guy who doesn't like my best friend. They both seem quite fond of each other, at least to a certain extent. Which is nice. Cause if they hated each other, you know who I'd dump. Obviously not Nancy. Duh. I already miss the little rascal.

Also, Dane is the best. He drove her all the way to Salt Lake, and he even picked me up from work today. So insanely sweet.

Love, Sarai

I want her to come to Provo, and live with me.

I hate that she's gone back to Rexburg

It's a black hole that stole Nancy

I hope I see her soon

Today was a little bit awful actually. I had to see Nancy off, and Dane and I got in a fight, mostly cause I was inconsiderate, and he stonewalled me. Which was awful. But my home teachers were amazing today, and church was delightful, and I played basketball with Mitch during visiting hours, which was hilarious. Apparently I jump like an elf when I throw a ball.

But Dane and I are not in a fight anymore, which is so great. It was weird because the weekend was so delightful, and I was so happy, so the goodbye was awful, putting me in a bad mood, causing it to be difficult to be patient about boyfriend problems.

But we talked, and now I'm happy :)

Love, Sarai

PS:

Do you dig the jumping pictures?
