| Ok, Just in case the world doesn't know yet... MY SISTER, KATIE, TOOK SECOND PLACE IN HUMOROUS INTERP. AT REGIONALS THIS WEEKEND!!!!!
SHE'S GOING TO NATIONALS!!!!!! W00T!!!!!!!! GO KATIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE YA, SIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | | |
| I Said Eight...Yes, I did... I said eight... In the emergency room they asked me to "rate the pain" and all I could think was:
"Well, my femur bone isn't cracked in half, so I can't say ten... and then there's child birth, so nine is out to..."
"I guess I'm an eight." Last week, I was kicked by one of my horses... What happened was:
I was feeding him, he moved to bite me, so I moved to smack him, then he turned to "smack" me...
Yeah, so don't get in a fight with a horse... you'll lose.
Anyway, after I could breath again, and had come to the conclusion that I was not going to die out in our field...
I walked home and was promptly taken to the emergency room, where they stuck all manner of needles in me,
gave me a CAT scane, and discovered that I had a 5 centimeter liver laceration...
Ambulance came and took me to the trauma center at Parkland Hospital.
(which is actually where they took Kennedy)
More tests, more needles, liver ultrasounds, and xrays... good fun.
I spent two days in the ICU, a day in a regular room, and was then discharged in only three days!
I know that my fast recovery (the fact that my liver didn't bleed out) and that I wasn't injured worse
is only because of Gods amazing Grace and Mercy!
I want to thank my Lord and Savior for being with me and for protecting me as I heal!
God's Grace is truly amazing!
THANK YOU to all who prayed for me!
Your prayers made all the difference and were such an encouragement! Thank you so much!

| Well, the search is over for me... That's right, I've found him...
He's so adorable! Not in a tall, dark, handsome sort of way...
But in an, "I couldn't love you more, your so cute" sorta way...
He's handsome, clever, intelligent... Ok, so he can be a brat occasionally...
But that's nothing a little training won't fix...
He's 2 years old, about 14.2 H., has a beautiful stride, and a lovely grey coat... Here's a picture of the love of my life: 
And us together:  
Yep, he's my baby and I love him! Oh, and he still needs a name! I've been trying to find an Irish name for him...
To preserve our heritage an all... so any suggestions would be appreciated! :) And in conclusion: Thank you, Dad!! I love him to death!! Thank you so much! I love you! | | |
| "The heart of Salvation is the Cross of Christ.
The reason Salvation is so easy to obtain is that it cost God so much.
The Cross was the place where God and sinful man merged with a tremendous collision
and where the way to life was opened. But all the cost and pain of the collision was
absorbed by the heart of God."
~Oswald Chambers
After such a year of hard lessons, I have come to a new appreciation of the Cross...
What the cost must have been! and all to save a wretch like me!
"That we should gain from His reward." It is truly a miracle.
And such a Blessing!!
No other god is like mine.
No other god has ever given himself for his people.
No other god even could.
My God reached down and saved us "while we were still sinners."
So Today, it is with a renewed sense of Awe and Gratitude for my Savior,
that I wish you all a Happy Easter!! | | |
| Our Texas Friends e-mailed us this Handy little guide... FOR NORTHERNERS MOVING SOUTH: 1. In the South, if you run your car into a ditch don't panic. Four men in a four-wheel drive pick up truck
with a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them; just stay out of their way. This is what they live for.
2. Don't be surprised to find movie rentals and bait in the same store. Do not buy food at this store
3. Remember, "y'all" is singular. "All y'all" is plural, and "all y'all's" is plural possessive.
4. Get used to hearing, "You ain't from round here, are ya?"
5. Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed later on how to use it.
6. Don't be worried at not understanding what people are saying. They can't understand you either.
The first Southern statement to creep into a transplanted Northerner's vocabulary is the adjective "big'ol,"
truck or big'ol" boy. Most Northerners begin their Southern-influenced dialect this way.
All of them are in denial about it.
7. The proper pronunciation you learned in school is no longer proper.
8. Be advised that "He needed killin" is a valid defense here.
9. If you hear a Southerner exclaim, "Hey, y'all, watch this," you should stay out of the way. These are likely to be the last words he'll ever say.
10. If there is the prediction of the slightest chance of even the smallest accumulation of snow, your presence is required at the local grocery store. It doesn't matter whether you need anything or not. You just have to go there.
11. Do not be surprised to find that 10-year olds own their own shotguns. They are proficient marksmen and their mammas taught them how to aim.
12. In the South, we have found that the best way to grow a lush green lawn is to pour gravel on it and call it a driveway.
AND REMEMBER: If you do settle in the South and bear children, don't think we will accept them as Southerners. After all, if the cat had kittens in the oven we wouldn't call 'em biscuits.
