Boona's Birthday Party

October 24th was my older bro Bday. He turned 29! He is currently in the Marines being stationed in North Carolina. He was able to come home for three wks to visit. It was so nice to have him home! He is one of my best friends. Halloween is his favorite holiday/time of year. So for his birthday, we celebrated both, duh! We ordered pizza, carved pumpkins, watched scary movies, and drank hot apple cider. The chillins (age 2-8) painted pumpkins instead of carving them. As you can tell, the ADULTS got carried away with the paint. The pic included is a pic of my favorite, crazy, wild, silly, hilarious, and strange people. MY FAMILY. (left-right: My Mamma, Boona, April, Daddy, Bean, Chooch, and Moi) What a fun and crazy night. That night will go down in the books. Just awesome!

Your Path

I love pictures of roads or paths. For me, its a silent reminder. To evaluate myself. Am I on the path I want to be? Where is my destination? What needs to be changed?
This is a snapshot of a snowy path where I deer hunt. Another reason why I love deer hunting so much.
Its inevitable. One cannot go there and not feel the Savior there.

Serenity

Last week I was able to break away from the everyday crazy, busy world and join my husband, brother, and dad down deer hunting. It was such a peaceful and enjoyable time. No sounds of cars, thoughts of homework, buzzing of televisions, ringing of phones, and the humming of the washer and dryer there to interrupt my thoughts. It was just me. Basking in the sun while upon the rock flats looking into deep valleys and thickets, imagining what could be nestled in them. Or balancing yourself on a log while floating above a 38 degree creek. Watching each leaf teeter totter into it and them watch it float until it turns the bend. Or baking in the heat and the light of a campfire. The glow from the faces of your loved ones is all you can see. Deer hunting to me isn't just about the sport. The trophy. The stories. Its about the memories. To me, its Serenity.

Trial Run

This is my trial run. As you peeps may know, I am new at this 'blogging' thing. I am at my 'dreaded mother in laws' house. She is teaching me how to add photos. This will be my first photo added. Enjoy. Much will follow now that I know how to add photos. Victims of embarassing photos, beware!

Really Something

This 'blogging' thing is really something. I will need to spend some serious time with it to really learn the ins and outs of it all. But that time I do not have. Tis the reason why I was so hesitant as to create a blog. I will have a hard time updating my blog. Between full time school, homework, work, housework, and being a newly wed (wink wink), I just don't think I'll have the time to 'blog'. We shall see...

New At This

Oh my goodness! I really can't believe I'm doing this. This is just as bad as scrap booking or making cards. (He he he, wink) I am very computer savy, but blogging? Please. Tammy, Kaylene, and friends have been urging me to create a blog for months now. I guess its about time that I jump on the band wagon. Everyone's doing it. What's the harm in that, right?
