Peace, Hope, and Budweiser...

...says the message that was on Henri's arm bands today. Kinda...weird. Lol. :)

OH. MY. WORD. I had a blast! Plus, i've never actually gotten to hang out with JUST Henri in the eight years i've known her. So. We had fun. :)

Now, you may ask, WHY did we hang out today? Well. My little sister, Shekinah had her eighth birthday today! And boy. Did we party! Sugar cookies, cake, ice cream...just SUGAR in general... And LOTS of little girls. The sweetest little girls ever. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHEKINAH!!!!!

She also shares a birthday with one of my favourite people in the world, Mrs. Mayfield!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MRS. MAYFIELD!!!!

I hope y'all have the wonderfulest of birthdays. Followed by many many more. Y'all are the best. I love y'all!!!!

quote/prayers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEMdXhfO-Wk&feature=related

"I can't do this, Sam."

"I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something."

"What are we holding onto, Sam?"

"That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for."

This is what's running through my head.
I would really appreciate some prayers right now.
Thanks, y'all.

Foggy Morning Photoshoot!!

So. I *LOVE* foggy mornings.


It was SO amazingly gorgeous this morning that I went outside to take some pics. And they turned out so awesome, I decided to post them! So. Here they are! :) (if you wanna see 'em bigger, just click on 'em!)






































On another note, I was outside a little later and came THIS CLOSE to stepping on a snake!!!! AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!!! Oh well. It was pretty big. And black. It was right at the edge of the pond and slithered in as soon as I figured out what it was. Not sure exactly what *kind* of snake. Maybe a Plain Bellied Water Snake? I dunno. Whatever. I don't think it was venomous. Aaaaaand I didn't have the camera with me at that particular moment. So. Dang I wish I woulda gotten a pic! Or at least caught it! Ooooh well. Anyway.

Happy Thursday, everyone!!

Meet Major

The newest member on the Stavinoha farm.  
Isn’t he handsome? I think so too. :)


So. Yes. I promise I thought this day would never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever come. But it has!! Oooooh yeah.
He’s a 16 year old Appendix gelding. For those of you who don’t know, an Appendix is a Thoroughbred-Quarter Horse cross. He’s got the sweetest temperament. Ever.  He’s very gentle with the kids and doesn’t spook at anything. Or hasn’t yet. So. Yep. He’s what they call “bombproof”. And he’s NOT LAZY!! Yay! Yeah lazy horses really bug me. Major is a retired patrol mount and people have also hunted off of him, ridden him on the road with 18-wheelers around, and he’s even been in parades right next to fire trucks!! So noise doesn’t bother him. Which is good because with 8 brothers and sisters, 3 goats, and 4 dogs all making noise at the same time, things can get, in a word, noisy. :) He is also very easy to catch. I can do it with one hand. And have!! Hehe. While talking on the phone. :)
Many thanks to dear Sarah for all her support and awesomeness, without which I would have given up on EVER getting a horse. Thanks SO much, mom and dad for allowing this to EVER happen! And thanks to Mrs. Simms for helping us find him!!!
Here are some more pics. :) (if you wanna see 'em bigger, just click on 'em. :)





I'm all smiles. :) See? :)
Well, gotta go feed Major.
Later, y'all!

And the Countdown Begins!!

31 days and counting until..............

PINEY WOODS!!!!!!!! Ooooh yeah. I’m excited.

Every year, on the first weekend of November, our church family does a retreat to an amazingly awesome place called Piney Woods, or PWCC (I….don’t remember what “CC” stands for). It includes all our CREC churches in Texas (or however many of us will FIT! lol). Which include Hockley, Weatherford, Nacogdoches, Ft. Worth, and San Antonio.

I do believe we have gone every year since it started. It’s the most amazingly fun thing we’ve participated in. It’s awesome. LOTS of volleyball, canoeing, long walks, singing, TONS of fellowship, dancing till 3am, helping out in the kitchen (yes, even helping in the kitchen is fun), more volleyball, good friends, more fellowship, more friends, even more volleyball, more dancing, more singing, Duck Duck Goose (ok. It seems babyish, but it’s still FUN!), Spoons, Poker, CatchPhrase, midnight pizza parties, sitting outside in the FREEZING COLD talking for hours on end (with lots of blankets, of course!!), and the best friends you can possibly imagine… It’s all good. And *THIS* year, we’re gonna have a pretty much amazing bonfire (courtesy of Mr. Duke!!) and Shmoes! S’mores. Whatever. And hotdogs. Outside. In the cold. Its gonna be awesome. GAH!! Can you tell I’m UBER excited??? Yeah.

And this is my solemn promise that as soon as I get back from Piney Woods, I'll post lots of pics. Which means I'll take lots of pics. Which means I'll have the camera with me at all times. Or as close to all times as I can. hehe. :)

On another note... This.


Plus this.


Equals.

The end.

Happy Autumn, y'all!!
