Prayer please

My aunt and uncle Bill & Marilyn Stovell are currently in Colorado Springs, CO. They were there for a reunion of some sort and were on a trail ride when my aunt was bucked off the horse she was riding. She is currently in ICU at the hospital in Colorado Springs with, and this is just what I've heard, a broken pelvis, 4 broken ribs and internal bleeding. Our prayers are going out to them and I just ask for ya'lls as well. Thank you.

Cleaning Frenzy

Yes that's right, I went on a cleaning frenzy yesterday! I don't know how or why it happened but it was proabably a good thing. After I got home from working I just went crazy! My bathroom, bedroom, and the kitchen are all clean. Of course, I didn't get one room picked up, the living room. Maybe next time!

Anyways, is it weird to say that I love my bed? I do I love my bed! Growing up I always had lots of pillows on my bed and, if you can't tell, there are a lot of pillows on my bed! I just love the quilt that my new mother-in-law made for T and I as a wedding present! And some friends of mine made the pillow cases with the horses on them as a wedding present also, they go good with the quilt!

 I also love my kitchen! You can't judge me though, because of my horses on the tops of the shelves! My mother always had cool dishes that she would put on top of her shelves, but I don't have a whole lot of nice dishes. So... I had a box of my horses that I thought would work and they did!

If you hadn't noticed, I am in a very good mood today. Mostly because we got a lot of rain yesterday and this morning we woke up and it was foggy out! Foggy!!! Makes me wonder where the snow is! Plus, the cooler temperature makes me feel better. Being raised in the the cold, I'm not to used to all the heat that we have had this summer!

Well I have to start picking up the living and packing! We may be making a quick trip up the New Mexico, if T says we can! Yay! Ya'll have a great weekend!

Labor Day Weekend

This labor day weekend has been a very eventful one, that's for sure. Yesterday was my little brother's 16th birthday. It's hard to believe that he is already 16, makes me feel old! For his birthday his grandpa had given him a truck, only it was given to him a couple of months ago so he could be day-working. So, for my surprise for him, I took it to get "cleaned,"

My friend Stormie helped me with the "cleaning!"

Can you see the Barbie hanging from the rear view mirror?

I think we did a very good job!

I can't believe that my brother was so gullible to let me have his truck keys. Our conversation went like this..
Me: "Lj, I need your truck keys please,"
Lj: "Umm, why?"
Me: "I'm taking it to get detailed for your birthday,"
Lj: "OK!!"
Silly brother of mine. He even got it at church on Sunday. Pastor Wendell asked him to come help him with something up front and Lj went up there, being the good cowhand he is. Wendell then had him stand on a bale, which really should have tipped Lj that something was up, but no! We then proceeded to sing Happy Birthday and that's when he finally got it! His defense: "I forgot that it was my birthday...!" Yay for little brothers right!

Well that was only half of the very eventful weekend. The other half you will have to guess... but here is a picture to help ya figure it out (for those who haven't already!)

Ya'll have a great week!

I just had to share!

I think my husband is a little kid still deep down inside. I really do! He wanted me to give him a hair cut yesterday and while I was inside searching for a mirror he thought he would start cutting his hair himself. Well, just like a little kid, he did this....

Now his whole head looks like that and all I've heard from him the last 24 hours is how cold his head is. THEN! On top of that he told everyone he works with that I did it!! Not true!!!

What am I going to do with him. Ssshhh don't tell him I put this on here though... But I just had to share!

On a different note, Spur helped me gather the horses this morning.

I don't know if he really enjoyed it but it was good for him. He is still scared of the horses but hopefully not for long!

Ya'll have a blessed weekend!!

Ridin' Colts

So I had this big long post all ready to go and the internet went down and erased it... Probably the Lord telling me not to post it. It was about politics and stuff.. but anyways..

T got two new colts today.

 This little bay is pretty nice looking I think. He is a two year old and I don't think he will be much taller than he is now, but he will probably be pretty stout.

The little sorrel is the one that T rode today. He is not bad looking either; taller than the bay but thinner.

Anywho, ya'll have a great Monday!!

Married life

Everyone's favorite question these past couple of weeks has been, "How is married life?"

Well, It's only been one month since T and I tied the knot but so far its great! I love being out here at the ranch and being able to wake up and see cows grazing outside the yard! It is different being here by myself though, when T is at work, but its not all the bad. Last week I finally finished unpacking all the gifts we got at our receptions. It toke me a while to find a place for everything, especially because most of it was kitchen stuff.

I have been getting to ride around with T a lot because they are not in the middle of working cows. All he is doing is checking water, so I get to ride along! Yay! The times when I can't go though, I have this little guy to keep me company.

Isn't he just adorable? Spur is his name and he is the cutest puppy I have seen in a very long time. He has such personality and sometimes keeps me from getting things done around the house. He is two months old and part border collie, part Australian shepherd. Oh and he is so smart! I've had him a week and he is already scratching at the door when he needs out!

Other than the new puppy, nothing big has happened in a while. School starts this Wednesday and... I'm not going. For many reasons but I'd rather not have to share. I know my dad is a little disappointed in me but there is a Bible college that I'm interested in that does complete online degrees. I feel like that's direction I need to be going to get an education. But, as T's favorite thing to say.. "Time will tell."

Hope ya'll have a blessed Monday and rest of the week!

Checkin' In

Well it has been a while since I have blogged last. A lot has happened between then and now, well not just a whole lot but some important things.

Too start, all my planning that has been going on for the past month or so has paid off. T and I's wedding was a success! It really doesn't feel different to be a married woman now, other than moving to a new place. Sometime I will post some pictures, but I have too many other things to do right now haha! For our honeymoon we went to San Antonio, which was a nice trip but I think we were both glad to get home. I'll have pictures of that too, I promise.

After our honeymoon we made our way to my new In-Laws for reception #1. It was very good and we really appreciate that T's parents put it on for us.

This Friday we have reception #2 in Texas, for all my family and friends. Honestly I can't wait for it to be over haha, but it will be good. I think my mother would agree with me when I say that though.

Well I am very tired and I will be blog more sometime next week, after all this wedding stuff is over. Ya'll have a good night!
